    I used to collect key rings, but stopped that several years ago. Now I just make sure to take loads of photos when I travel and more specifically, make sure I'm actually in some of the photos!

    I really love visiting book shops. I find them very relaxing places. When I'm abroad I make it my business to visit a bookshop or two and have a browse, maybe have a coffee if they have a coffee shop attached. I'll buy a book and I'll write on the inside cover the city where I bought it and the name of the shop I've bought it from. It's very easy to find English books abroad.

    Fridge magnets....Tacky maybe but when you've a hundred pieces of paper, bills and kids drawings on the fridge it's nice to look at these little momentos!!

    I like to collect passport stamps but this is becoming very difficult with many more countries that no longer stamp.

    My wife likes fridge magnets so I normally bring back a few from each place.

    Grab a fridge magnet for the auld pair.

    For myself, I just keep hold of boarding passes, coins that were leftover, ticket stubs to events, maps and different things like that.

    Ive collected two of each of the two smallest denomination bank notes from each country Ive been in. Collection is circa 380 bank notes. My intention had been to frame them or put them under glass on a coffee table but there are too many to do that. They live in a drawer now, tbh I should just sell them as I think displaying them on walls would be a bit tacky.
