The Unexpected Travel Souvenir I Collect in Every Country

When people ask what I've seen on our travels, they probably aren't expecting this... Instead of collecting magnets or postcards, I collect impressions of manhole covers, drain covers, and unique textures from the places we visit. Using nothing more than a rubber eraser and ink, I've turned this quirky habit into one of my favorite travel souvenirs. Every destination has its own hidden details, and slowing down enough to notice them has completely changed the way I experience the world. What unusual thing do you always end up photographing or collecting when you travel?
