Traveling reminded me of how peculiar our world is. I often paused to savor the beauty of an unfamiliar place, knowing each moment was mortal. I began collecting a keychain from every meaningful place I visited. The keychain symbolizes a tangible form of my memories; something I can see and touch, just the way I encountered it then. These mementos make sure I never ‘forget’ where I’ve been. They also remind me where else I need to go.

Read about the places I brought home a keychain from. Learn about their histories, sights to see, and activities to do. And maybe get inspired to get a keychain yourself.
