“ Coming back home, going back to work, is a huge 180 . I went from doing things that were once in a lifetime to doing mundane things.
2. Initial POV

Assumptions Valid? A good way to remember your trip is through media. People use and create media, such as pictures, during trips. The transition back home is made simpler if commemoration is done before returning home. People need a way to organize and group the highlights of their trip
