When we travel, we often buy souvenirs and mementos to bring home.

While that's certainly not a bad thing, it's important to make sure we're also buying experiences when we travel.

Sure, gifts to bring home are great, but don't let that be the only memory of your travels.

Collette offers tours around the world for travelers to experience unique destinations. These experiences can become part of our identities and are far more important than any trinket or knick-knack you could bring back home.

After all, travel can change a person.

How has traveling to a new destination impacted your life?

Maybe you've met new people that have become great friends in your life. Traveling often brings people together, creating new memories and shared experiences.

Bonding through travel can be incredibly special. Experiences last much longer than buying things.

Material items have a shelf life, but an experience can remain with you forever. Plus, those material things will only create more clutter for you back home.

Book a tour and explore multiple cities in one trip or even multiple countries. Discover new cultures and see how others live their lives in different places around the world.

The experience will far outweigh any souvenir you could ever buy.
