Episode 28: The Five Senses of Travel

Have you ever had your memory jogged by a certain smell or sound?  Maybe a taste of an exotic fruit or the feel of the wind in your hair transports you to another place and time.  We rely on our senses more than we realize, not just for our immediate surroundings, but for their power to make us remember events.  It today’s episode we thought it would be fun to explore what recalled memories have been triggered by our senses.

* Smells – shampoo, flowers, food or drinks, fireworks, campfire
* Taste – recreating a vacation dessert or meal, something you only eat on a trip
* Sight – sunset, pictures, commercials
* Sound – songs or soundtracks
* Touch – ocean breeze, heat from a campfire, sunburn

What sensory memory is evocative of travel for you?
