How to create a travel photo gallery wall

People often ask me what I do with my travel memorabilia, the truth is I don’t do much. I always take a lot of pictures, then I create an album and post them on Social Media and then I forget about it. Some days I reminisce and go through the pictures on my Facebook page but that’s pretty much all I do.
