I'm going to take a different view on this.

I travelled a lot circa 2008-10 in and around Asia and recently I've been uploading all those old travel photos to Google Photos simply because every day it randomly pops up pictures from a place I once visited.

Even the bad photos I took back then (I didn't have a great camera) are way better at keeping those memories alive than I would have expected, they may not be the best, but I was there and I took them.

My wife and I started traveling a lot after my younger son graduated and post Covid mid 2021 and we even did the “digital nomad” thing for a year. We still go somewhere to do something around a dozen times a year.

I blog about it. It isn’t for anyone else’s benefit but mine and I doubt I get any traffic to it. It’s more of a public journal. I pay $5 a month for MicroBlog. Our travel season is usually between March and October.

The blog is a much better way to remember trips than just static pictures.

I'm sure that's true but... I know that I would never check that blog again had I written one.

Google photos pops a reminder of somewhere most days for me with a photo slideshow of somewhere I've been.

I do that too. But when I’m old and not traveling, having a journal would be nice.
