7 Travel Traditions to Start in 2024

Starting simple travel traditions in 2024 and building on them over time is a great way to map your travels through fun traditions to pass on to your friends and family. Whether you're seeking a coastal escape or a nature retreat, there's something for everyone with Oakvale Collection to create unforgettable experiences and memories.

Crafting Lasting Memories

Here are some of our favourite holiday travel traditions that might inspire you to start your own:

• Picture Perfect Moments

Journal about your travels, capture photos at iconic landmarks, and review the day's highs and lows. Scrapbooking these moments lets you soak in the scenery and reflect on what excites you about each destination.

• Magnificent Magnets

Collecting souvenirs like fridge magnets from each city, province, or country you visit to decorate your kitchen back home offers a tangible way to relive your adventures. These small, affordable keepsakes are a fun way to spark conversations about your travels with guests.

• Signature Pose Snapshots

A trending idea to remember your travels is to create short travel vlogs or videos. Try striking a signature pose at each location for a creative video montage showcasing your pit stops and travel highlights along the way.

• Curated Playlists

Craft a unique playlist for each vacation to set the mood. Whether rhythmic beats for a beach getaway or energising tracks for an active adventure, music enhances the travel experience and revives memories once home.

• Currency Collection

Save a coin or note from each country you visit. Foreign currency serves as a unique memento of your travels, creating a fascinating collection of treasures that increases in value over time.

• Culinary Keepsakes

Collect local recipes and unique cookware that capture the essence of your travels. Whether from a restaurant, a friendly local, or a cooking class, relive and share your adventures with loved ones through every recreated dish, turning meals into a celebration of your worldly explorations.

• Mystery Vacations

For those who love surprises, embrace your spontaneity with a “mystery vacation” from Oakvale Collection. Select your adventure based on activities rather than destination for an unexpected twist to your travels.
