WRITING PROMPT RESPONSE
Memories Are the Best Souvenirs
When you’re a collector by heart but have limited space
Looking at the history of hunter-gatherers, I’m definitely the gatherer and my husband is the hunter. There’s no doubt about that. He’ll hunt in real life. He can shoot an antelope and prepare it for dinner.
While me, well.
I’ll go pick flowers.
That’s not true. I’ve learned better than that thanks to my parents.
I can run a vegetable garden, pick blossoms in the mountains to make tea in the wilderness and even know a handful of wildflowers that could be useful for eating or medicine.

But this article is about a different kind of gathering. The kind of gathering we do while we travel around the world hopping from one souvenir shop to the other.
It’s more a collecting of items than a gathering of edible foods.
However, I’ve done my fair share of collecting things while traveling. I’ve dropped some while others are still going strong.
