Back from a trip and feel like you need to remember it? The right keepsake is easy to choose; it depends on your journey: one route, a string of countries, a long stretch away, or a single place you keep thinking about.
Most souvenirs come home and turn into clutter. A boarding pass in a jacket pocket, a trail map folded along the wrong creases, nine hundred photos on a phone that nobody scrolls back through. A keepsake turns that pile into one thing you’ll actually look at or use.
Once you’ve picked one, our guide to displaying travel memories at home covers the best places to display them at home.

The Single Route (For Treks, Road Trips & Rail Loops)
Hiking trail map, road trips, backpacking journeys and interrailing are all ideal trips for creating a unique visual representation of your travels. A customised route map traces those stops in order. You choose between 1-8 stops and 8-20 stops, so a week on the West Highland Way and three months across South America both fit. It’s a creative way to visualise your travel experience, the number of miles or km’s you’ve travelled, and it can become a framed piece of art that becomes part of your home decor.
Our line art maps are available as a print or as hoodies. Shop all line art maps
The Multi-Destination Collector (For Years of Shorter Trips)
Some people don’t have one big trip. They have fifteen years of shorter ones: a week in Lisbon, a stag do in Kraków, a family holiday in Crete. There’s no route to draw, because the trips never joined up.
Compile a collage of place names visited by writing the names of cities and countries on a large piece of art or canvas. It’s a fun way to display your travel history.

The Singular Place (For Views That Stay With You)
Sometimes it isn’t the entire route, it’s just one unforgettable place. Whether it’s the colours of Rainbow Mountain at altitude, the jagged towers at Torres del Paine before the clouds roll in, or a local trail you’ll never forget, a single-focus art piece captures that exact feeling.
Explore these different ways to celebrate a single, standout destination:
-
Photography Prints: Pair a stunning snapshot of a favourite view or landmark with custom text or coordinates. It sits beautifully on its own or alongside a broader route map from the same trip.
-
Country Outline Map: Celebrate a specific country you’ve explored, from a short weekend getaway to a deep backpacking journey using a personalised map outline customised with your travel dates and special messages.
-
Hikes & Trails: Map out a beloved hiking route, walking trail, or mountain climb that challenged and inspired you, turning your outdoor achievements into minimalist wall art. Explore our mugs, hoodies & wall art.
Each option can be tailored with your choice of colours, layouts, and personal touches to match your interior decor and keep those core memories alive.

The Everyday Essential (For Practical Keepsakes & Gifts)
Sometimes the best keepsake is the most useful one that we can use every morning or pack for the next adventure. These practical keepsakes don’t depend on someone else’s interior decor, making them effortless gifts for friends, family, or partners.
Our core everyday collection features three versatile essentials:
- Travel Mugs: Serve as a reminder of your favourite trek, road trip, or multi-destination journey. Add the countries you’ve visited, completion dates, or special messages. They are budget-friendly, highly practical, and fit everyone from backpackers to couples on romantic getaways.
-
Hoodies: Perfect for renters who can’t put art on their walls, our cosy hoodies let you wear your adventures on your back. Showcase an entire Europe interrailing route, a cross-country road trip, or a season of travels in comfortable style for both men and women.
-
T-Shirts: Lightweight, breathable, and easy to pack, custom travel t-shirts let you show off your love for travel wherever you go. Whether commemorating a massive backpacking trip or a family holiday, they make a casual, everyday statement out of your favourite places.

Personalised or customised?
A personalised item focuses on the recipient’s names, initials, country or trail or specific dates that make the piece uniquely theirs.
Whereas a customised item lets you tailor the actual content, layout, or geography, such as mapping out a specific multi-stop itinerary, selecting unique colour schemes, or choosing a particular mountain trail you climbed. This process takes longer and requires more information about the trip.
For a quick sentimental gifts, lean into personalisation with names and milestone dates; for a specific journey or layout, choose customisation to ensure the geography and details match your exact adventure.
What to have ready before you order
A customised design is only as good as the details you send. Before ordering, gather:
- the stops in order, spelt the way you want them printed
- dates for each stop, or at least the start and end
- a title or line of text
- the size and colour, if you already know where it will hang
If you’re still away, it’s far easier to collect this as you go. Our guide to recording your trip while you’re on it covers the habits that make it simple: dated photos, saved tickets and a GPS track you can export later.
