Our favourite stamp would have to be from when we touched down in the Maldives and the immigration officer stamped “” onto the pages of our passport. Those four days were definitely the highlight of my South America adventure in 2014, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. It was an incredible moment and rewarding experience for everyone in our hiking group. When we arrived at the Sun Gate and caught our first glimpse of Machu Picchu, we were overjoyed with our accomplishment. That final morning, we had woken up at 3am to make the final leg. Visiting this remarkable site had been on the top of my bucket list for a long time, and I was so pleased with myself that I was able to complete the 42km hike without too much difficulty.
This passport stamp marks the day that I finished the Inca Trail and arrived at the spectacular Machu Picchu in Peru. Wouldn’t that have been a nice coincidence? It’s a shame that the stamp from the third time I entered USA was 3 pages further along.
It’s as if the customs officials always turn to the exact same spot – no matter how many years apart you enter the country, and lazily place their stamp wherever it will fit rather than turning to a fresh page. This page in particular stands out as the two separate stamps I received for entry into USA just happened to be right next to one another.

The ones with multiple stamps, each one fighting to take up the largest amount of free space. Next year when I’m made to renew it, I may get a little sentimental and attempt to convert the former document into some sort of crazy piece of artwork so that I’m constantly reminded of what those heavily stamped pages look like. I’ve had it since 2006 and it’s been with me for every one of the 30 countries I’ve visited. I asked travel bloggers to share the story behind their favourite passport stamp or visa and this is what they wrote …Īside from the fact that when I open my passport I see my face from 9 years ago staring back at me, with it’s slightly chubbier cheeks, dyed red hair (what was I thinking!?) and impartial expression, I do get a kick out of flicking through the pages.
