A trip across the country has the potential to be an incredibly epic experience for any fun loving adventurer. America is a land that is a wonderful blending of thousands of cultures and lifestyles, weather and geographical conditions. Making a collection of state souvenirs is a creative way to track and display all the great stops made on one's journey.
Throughout the USA, there are ample opportunities to get a small experience of numerous different cultures. It is possible to see the simple beauty in the lifestyle and craftsmanship of the Amish up North, savor the delicious goodness of Southern cooking as well as their infamous hospitality and charm. One may wish to enjoy the beautiful ceremonies and pottery of Southwestern Native American tribes or lose oneself in the carefree beach life of the California coast.
There are many reasons for which people decide to travel the country. Sometimes the purpose is to visit a historical site or landmark, or maybe to go somewhere that is deeply steeped in a particular culture. Perhaps one wishes to visit as many zoos or amusement parks as possible or they may just want to claim they have been to a certain state, or all of them.
Whatever the purpose or reason, collecting something special to commemorate the trip is a very common practice. Anywhere one travels, the locals will be able to point out some of the best experiences rarely found through agencies. There are so many ways that a person may choose to mark these occasions for themselves or to take a small piece back to someone else.

Some people like to buy something different from every place they go, something that is uniquely suited to that particular adventure. Others tend to prefer adding to an existing collection of like items such as decorative spoons or plates, license tags, thimbles, bells or shot glasses. Whatever one's preference, there are literally hundreds of options available.
