Travel for me is a very sensual experience using your sight, smell, sound, touch and taste to fully explore the place. As an explorer you have to really slow down and be in the moment, take notice. Each destination has it’s own unique smell, obvious sights, tastes in food and beverages, and sounds that profoundly impact your memory of the place.
Without the luxury of being able to revisit each great place you have been to - how do you remember the destination? A place you saw, something you ate, a noise you had never heard before but heard a lot or a smell. A great example is the last time I visited Lake Maggoire, Italy the jasmine was in bloom – everywhere. The sweet aroma filled the air especially after a light afternoon shower. This memory over every other sense captures that visit for me.
Which sense gives YOU the strongest memory recall of your trip?
