Whether you want to keep friends and family at home up to date with your travels or memorialize a group trip, here are some of the best ways to share travel photos with your loved ones!
Real-time digital photos
The best and fastest way to share photos with friends and family is through digital photos online. You can easily upload photos from your phone and digital camera to web based photo sharing platforms. This allows you to give your loved ones nearly real time updates. Many services even allow multiple people to contribute their photos to the album, making it a great choice for collecting photos on a group trip. It’s highly likely that you and your friends already have access to a platform that facilitates photo sharing…both Amazon (Amazon Photos) and Google (Google Photos) have free photo services that can share your photos with individuals you choose. Or pick an app designed specifically for sharing photos with a private group such as PhotoCircle or Cluster.
Old school post cards
I love post cards! There’s something special about getting a photo and personal note in the mail. What if you could send a post card with your own photo? That’s exactly what TouchNote does! You upload your photo, edit it, type a quick note…and then TouchNote will print the card and drop it in the mail for you! I love sending notes to people on my travels so that they get a fun little surprise in their (actual) mailbox. (Or send them to yourself for a unique memory book!)
Lifelong memories
For gifting physical reminders of travel memories or just displaying your adventures, there are a ton of companies out there that will transform your photos into custom physical photo books, canvas prints, blankets, keychains, insulated mugs, and pretty much any other item you can imagine! Popular options include Shutterfly, Snapfish, Vista Print, and many more.
