You’ve travelled many wonderful places and come across many different ‘must have’ souvenirs. A NYC T-shirt, a mini Eiffel Tower, a toy koala perhaps? and the list goes on, each a treasure in their own right, a memory of a experiences you’ve had. But what’s the one souvenir that sticks in your mind? The one you cant wait to tell people about? The one you try to work into conversation with friends for a bit of a ‘show and tell’?
It could be a bullet pen from Bosnia, a Soviet relic from Russia or a piece of the Berlin wall (at least that’s what they said it was when I paid 10 Euro for the micro piece of concrete with some graffiti on it
ok Im gullible).
But for one of our envoy guests, it was a souvenir she picked up from Armenia. She found the perfect souvenir in the can of “Air of Armenia” pictured below. This ‘super souvenir’ contains nothing in the can! Its labelling explains the ingredients to include: Air of Yerevan 20%, Mountain air 25%,…. Odour of lavash (a local bread) 5%, smell of neighbours barbeque 5%!! and also a method (apply regularly when outside of Armenia on the symptoms of home sickness!).
She commented that: “It appealed to my sense of humour but the best bit, as a backpacker, was that it was light weight and affordable! A true winner - loved it! Loved Armenia! Loved envoy!”.
Well now we invite you to come and experience the ‘un-canned’ air of Armenia
and why not take the souvenir with you!
Better yet – we invite you to send us your ‘super souvenir’ you’ve found in your travels! What treasures have you discovered? Write to us about it and send a photo and we’ll feature it! ![]()
