Travel Memoirs - My first trip abroad was unforgettable

My first trip abroad was unforgettable.
I had long leave of 3 months from the bank where I worked after seven years of employment.
Another co-worker and I teamed up and went to New York, Canada, London, Germany, and Holland.
The initial intention was to visit my sister and her family in Germany, but we got a great bargain to visit those other countries on our way to Germany.
My sister's husband was a Sergeant in the Royal Air Force which was stationed in Wildenrath, Germany at the time.

That memorable trip is part of my memoirs in two books - "My Life as a Banker: A life Worth Living,"

and "Travel Memoirs with Pictures: Exploring the World," which is a pictorial book of precious memories.


I also wrote a poem and the first two verses begin with that trip.
Listen to the narration in the video above.
Books are available at Amazon Universal Link

Souvenirs of my Travels

These two are among my many favourite souvenirs.
The one on the right is a miniature Vatican which I bought in Rome. It plays the tune, 'Arriver dechi Roma' and lights up.
It is beautiful when lighted up.
The one on the left is a replica of the famous Eiffel Tower, which I bought in Paris.
It is all decorated with colourful rhinestones.





These are small souvenirs I collected at many of my favourite tourist destinations.
I even have a piece of the Berlin Wall in a glass case.




These are souvenir magnets on my fridge covering many countries that I have visited.

Read my book 'Travel Memoirs with Pictures: Exploring the World.'
