Do-It-Yourself Photo Book: Bring Your Favorite Travel Memories to Life
Last 2019, I was lucky enough to be able to travel around East Asia and experienced four seasons for the first time and explored twin administrative regions the second time around. In the first quarter of 2020, my adventure abroad was in full swing as I braved a tri-country excursion in Southeast Asia amidst the pandemic. During my trips, I always see to it to take a lot of photographs of the places I visited, the foods I tried and the experiences note-worthy to be shared to my circle. While some of these photos always end up on my social media account by uploading them directly via digital devices, most are left unpublished and only “gather dust” on my mobile phone.
Now that majority of local destinations are still close and almost all travel abroad have been prohibited, the only thing that can keep my wanderlust alive is by looking at my travel mementos on the screen of my cellphone and bulky digital camera. It’s such a bummer that I can’t even hold or physically do something about it just like reading a magazine or photo album. Good thing, I found a great solution online ~ Photobook.

There is nothing more wonderful than seeing some photos of my international trips printed out to bring my unforgettable memories to life. With Photobook, I can start reliving my favorite travel moments in a stunning, personalized photo coffee table book.
