What to do with travel receipts and tickets after a trip

Before they fade, disappear or end up in a drawer, turn them into something useful.

Sort them by feeling, not importance

Make three piles: definitely keep, maybe, and recycle. A €2 café receipt can matter more than an expensive attraction ticket if it brings back the right moment.

Extract the best detail

You do not have to keep the entire receipt. Punch the date, logo, price, word, number or small graphic that carries the memory and recycle the rest.

Photograph fragile pieces

Thermal receipts can fade. Take a quick photo before trimming them if the information matters.

Give the leftovers a place

Use free scrapbook pages at the end of the journal for larger pieces, notes or scraps that did not fit a challenge. Not everything needs to become a tiny stamp.

The I FOUND THIS idea: Find it. Punch it. Keep it. You do not need to fill every space — only keep what feels worth keeping.
