Anyone else besides me who looks forward to getting that next passport stamp? Do you view it as a collection of sorts like I do? In addition to anticipating my arrival in a new country or at a new landmark, I love to see what the new stamp looks like. The more creative the better, right? And, the passport stamp becomes a treasure if I fall in love with theย destination ensuring fond memories whenever I flip through my passport. So, along with sharing my own, I decided to ask other travel bloggers to share their coolest passport stamps and why they connected with these locations. Hopefully, the combo will give you inspiration on where you should travel next!

Coolest Passport Stamps + Why They’re Meaningful

In case you don’t travel much or aren’t aware, some landmarks such as UNESCO World Heritage sites and others offer souvenir stamps for passports. This is why you will see both country and landmark stamps listed.

NOTE: Although I’m not personally aware of a country where it’s illegal to have your passport stamped with souvenir stamps, please consult your country’s rules and regulations on this matter.

Machu Picchu, Perรบ

I always love to flip through my old passport to look at my Machu Picchu souvenir stamp. It’s a large, unique stamp and Perรบ made an impact on me for many reasons. The traditional culture, the friendly people, my love for the Spanish language and landscape diversity are just a few of those reasons. Where else can you get the city experience in the gastronomic capital of South America in Lima, watch pink river dolphins swim in the Amazon River, see the amazing colors of Rainbow Mountain at 16,000 feet and marvel at the Incan creation, Machu Picchu?

Located in the Andes Mountains of Perรบ, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Machu Picchu is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. All I have to say is those Incans are out-of-this-world amazing! I can’t believe all they were able to accomplish so long ago. Their meticulous design and how they were able to keep the entire location a mystery until fairly recently in history is mind-boggling.

I was there on two different days, at two different times of day, during two different types of weather. I remember the sun peeking through the clouds casting rays of light at just the right angles where they dazzled the mountains and danced on the stone Incan buildings. It was breathtakingly beautiful and a moment where time just truly stopped for me and I “connected”. The rare type of connection you just can’t describe. One that becomes you.

Iran

Every time I take my passport out for a border crossing or a visa extension there is one specific page I open, again and again, the page that is marked with the stamp of Iran. With a brand new passport in my hand, the stamp of Iran marked the beginning of a journey of a lifetime, filled with unique adventures and dreams coming true. And I could have not chosen a better country to start my adventure in.

Iran is a country that is filled with delicious food, incredible architecture, friendly people and mind-blowing landscapes, and barely any tourists in sight. However, the most special part about this stamp, to me, must be the date. Iran doesnโ€™t use the same calendar as many of us use. Instead, they use the Solar Hijri Calendar, meaning that I didnโ€™t travel Iran in the year of 2017, but instead in the year of 1395. While I know that Iran is not on many of your bucket lists, if you do decide to go, be sure to visit the Nasir-Ol-Molk Mosque in Shiraz, as seen in the photo, it almost feels like you are standing in a kaleidoscope.

Cuba

The Cuba stamp in my Canadian passport stands out for two reasons. It’s the only pink stamp, and the only one showing an airport, the Abel Santamaria in Santa Clara, named after a revolutionary. Talk about a colorful start!

But it’s the warm and colorful people I met in Cuba that won my heart. Although Havana looks like a place caught in a 50-year old-time warp, scratch the surface and you’ll find art, music, dance and, of course, baseball. You’ll also find people who will talk openly about their everyday challenges, which weren’t entirely different from my own.

That’s why, despite beaches that rival the best in the world, the one “must-do” in Cuba is to wander the old streets in Havana and talk to the people that live there. Take a ride in a 1950s pink convertible and find out how they keep them running. Have a meal in a local paladar, a private restaurant usually in someone’s home, and drink a mojito in the same bars where Hemingway used to do it. That will give you a true taste of Cuba.

The most unique stamp Iโ€™ve gotten so far is the one from Japan. On my recent trip, I received a landing permission sticker that has Mt. Fuji and cherry blossoms in the background. Both are iconic symbols of Japan! Compared to the regular boring entry and exit passport stamp, this beautiful sticker is quite a unique souvenir that reminds me of the lovely times I had with my husband in Tokyo!

What I love about Japan, or Tokyo to be precise, is that it pulls off a harmonious balance between modern lifestyle and traditional culture. Whether it is people dressing in an elegant kimono or in a funky cosplay outfit, you can see both the old and the new coexisting in this metropolis!

I highly recommend getting dressed in the traditional Japanese dress โ€œkimonoโ€! It is a wonderful way to experience the Japanese culture. As you put on layer after layer, you will develop an appreciation for the luxury apparel and its historical significance.

Equator, Ecuador

Iโ€™ll be pretty sad when my passport expires in 2020, Iโ€™ve got some awesome stamps these last couple of years, one of which was when I was standing in the middle of the world. In Ecuador, you can get your passport stamped when you have stood on the equator.

Itโ€™s called Museo de Sitio Intiรฑan – a cultural museum in Quito, Ecuador, situated on Latitude 0. While itโ€™s a vanity stamp, meaning itโ€™s not a country visa, I smile every time I see it. Not only did I stand in the middle of the world, but this was my first solo trip. It was a great place to get my feet wet as a solo traveller.

The one thing you have to do while youโ€™re at Museo de Sitio Intiรฑan is to stand on the equator. Once you have gone through the wonderful cultural exhibits, you need to check out the Ciudad Mitad del Mundo. The Mitad is where the equatorial line was calculated in the 1700s – way back before GPS. To only be 240m off from the actual equator is pretty impressive.

In 2016 I was in London for New Years, my first time away from the United States for a major holiday. Leaving from Scotland, the first half of my two-week European trip, arriving in London I found myself without a passport stamp and a slight form of depression. I explored the city markets, the West End, the London Tower and Hyde Park.

As we ran in the New Year my hopes of having a passport stamp were long gone, I had fallen in love with the people much more than the city. From the musicians in the tube, to the artist on the Tower Bridge and the group of individuals who included this solo traveler as a part of their family, ย I rang in the New Year no longer alone.

A few days later I arrived at King’s Cross for my departure to Brussels, this is where I received my passport stamp, with a small train tucked in the corner to remind me that itโ€™s not always about the adventure. If you ever get a chance to explore the city, head towards the Thames riverside. Here you will find artists, cute shops and restaurants all with amazing views.

It was my first foreign country as a solo female traveler. After 48 hours in airports, getting this passport stamp was like a badge of honor for me. It may look plain to you, but the Arabic language is ancient, romantic, and beautiful and I loved that it is included in the passport stamp.

The Arabic words read from right to left, and the English read from left to right. Almost as if the English was a symbol of my pathway there and the Arabic was what was leading me home. I was there to fulfill my bucket list item of seeing one of the wonders of the world…Petra. I won’t go into details about it, but the place was a historical playground full of mystery. The Bedouin people still lived like the ancient desert wanderers of old.ย  The food was delicious and cooked underground.

My badge of honor in my passport indicated to me that I was pushing the cultural boundaries I had set within myself and promised myself.

With colorful cities and a vibrant culture, it comes as no surprise that Colombiaโ€™s passport stamp is both blue and orange. A colorful stamp for a colorful country.

I actually have three stamps from Colombia in my passport; each a reminder of a country that holds a special place in my heart.

It was a cheap flight to Cartagena (and a bottle of wine!) that convinced my husband and me to quit our jobs and book a one-way flight!

That blue and orange stamp reminds me of the elderly man on a bus, who held my hand while I crossed the street, sat with us at lunch and insisted we try his meal. Smiling toothily the entire time.

That blue and orange stamp reminds me of camping on the beach in Tayrona National Park and hiking past giant palms in the Valle de Cocora (both musts if you visit Colombia). It reminds me of exploring the little-visited island of Providencia with a culture entirely its own.

The course of my life has changed entirely in the 5 years since getting that blue and orange stamp. What was supposed to be a 3-month backpacking trip documented on a blog for fun has turned into a full-time career. And it all started with that blue and orange stamp, for which I will be forever grateful.

Hell, Grand Cayman

Looking for travel inspiration? Check out the coolest passport stamps from travel bloggers around the world and why we're connected with these locations! #passport #stamps #travel #destinations #inspiration #favoriteplaces #beautifuldestinations #bucketlist

I decided to include this stamp from Grand Cayman because, well…how should I put this? I had been to hell and back. C’mon now, not literally. But, there is a Hell, Grand Cayman, I did go to it and I did return. I remember someone saying “Be sure to get your passport stamped from Hell post office and mail yourself a postcard.” Let’s just say I didn’t need to be told twice.

Let me be clear here. I fell in love with Grand Cayman. The people, the landscape, the water, everything. Hell was just one of the many activities I did on my second trip to the island.

There are different stories on how Hell got its name. One theory is that the black limestone formations must be “what hell looks like” while another states that if you throw a rock onto the formations, they echo giving a sense of falling for eternity or “falling to hell”. Either way, it’s intriguing and you can be sure they capitalized on it with their bright red fiery building and employees that greeted us with “How the hell are you?” and “Where the hell are you from?”

Ascension Island

Without a doubt, my favourite stamp in my passport is my landing permit for Ascension Island. Never heard of it? Neither had I, until I went there!

In 2009, I was lucky enough to join the crew of a ship sailing around Africa and had the opportunity to visit lots of unusual and interesting destinations. My favourite was the little island of Ascension in the middle of the Atlantic Sea. It stole my heart for being so vivid and downright bizarre. I felt as though I was in the TV series Lost the whole time I was there. Or X Files.

One of the most remote islands in the world, Ascension is 1,600 km away from the African mainland and has a tiny temporary population. Ascension is used as an air force and comms base – there is no right to live on the island; you have to be contracted to work there. A barren volcanic island strung with pylons and towers, it has an eerily deserted feel.

If you ever find yourself on Ascension Island, the best thing about it is its unique flora and fauna (in 2016 it was made a protected marine park). Itโ€™s popular for hardcore game fishing, but youโ€™ll also find land crabs and spectacular beaches where green turtles lay their eggs.

While Galapagos is not a separate country and in fact, belongs to Ecuador, the islands have a separate passport stamp for the Galapagos National Park. I feel like itโ€™s a beautiful nod to diversity and the beauty of Galapagos. A land frozen in time – itโ€™s unlike anything Iโ€™ve seen before.

I dreamedย of going to Galapagos for a long time but nothing could have prepared me for being so close to so many majestic creatures. A beach packed full of sea lions but empty of people, turtles the size of a small human and getting chased out of the water by sharks all left impressions that will last a lifetime. The moment that exceeded all my expectations, however, was when a penguin decided to play with me when snorkeling and nearly swam into my face! I can proudly say I swam mere inches away from a Galapagos penguin.

If you do one thing in Galapagos Iโ€™d recommend to live on a boat for at least a couple of days and see the more remote islands, almost completely untouched by man (and cell reception).

By far myย favouriteย stamp in my passport is that of the Falkland Islands. This small British overseas territory off the east coast of Argentina is sparsely populated where there are easily way more birds than people. With a population of under 3000, this wildlifeย lover’sย paradise is home to myย favouriteย passport stamp simply because it contains a penguin. I mean, what stamp could be better?

Speaking of penguins, while we are discussing them the local newspaper in the Falkland Islands is called the Penguin News and is distributed every Friday. My one regret is I didnโ€™t pick up a copy when I visited as a souvenir. Beingย a British overseas territory,ย all the British paraphernalia is naturally present. The phone box and a tourist London bus can all be found in the central town of Stanley.

Also, with the UKโ€™s close affiliation with Australia, you can imagine my excitement when I was able to pick up the Australian delicacy of Vegemite in the local supermarket. The Falkland Islands has the stamp, vegemite, and penguins, what more could you ask for.

Looking through my passport, the stamp that truly stands out is the one from Bonaire. The flamingo hidden between the pages reminds me about thisย little island in the South Caribbean, probably one of the few locations in the region not yet spoiled by mass tourism. Here, nature is respected at its real value. You will find Bonaire pristine beaches with turtle nests, crystal blue waters hosting an impressiveย reef andย colorful fishes, flamingo reservations and much more.

I spent a wholeย summer in Bonaire with my husband and our 2.5-year-old son. We were at the beginning of a sabbatical year. We took this time to enjoy family life and be close to our son, to be children againย together with him. Bonaire was the perfect location for us. Time has a different perspective on this tiny island so we could disconnect from the busy lives we had, reset our minds and rethink our priorities.

Bonaire is known worldwide asย โ€œdiverโ€™s paradiseโ€, so diving is the first thing Iโ€™m recommending here. The island is known as one of the best worldwide destinations for diving from shore. Many experienced divers we met here mentioned Bonaire as the best diving destination theyโ€™ve ever been to.โ€

Timor Leste

Photo by Emily from Wander-Lush

Whenever I flick through my passport, thereโ€™s one stamp that always catches my eye. The full-page, slightly smudged, inky blue stamp that I received when entering Timor-Leste (East Timor) is one of my favourites.

Thereโ€™s nothing special about the design or the ornamentation of the stamp-itโ€™s a very utilitarian mark that doubles as a tourist visa. I love it because it reminds me of my trip to Timor, which was one of the more adventurous and rewarding solo journeys Iโ€™ve ever done.

I was there as a volunteer with an arts organisation in Lospalos, a town on the far-eastern tip of the island. To get to Lospalos from Dili, the capital city where the airport is located, I had to travel the whole length of the country. It was an adventure to say the least.

Timor-Leste is home to some of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful landscapes Iโ€™ve ever laid eyes on. When I was there in early 2015, it still felt relatively ‘untouched’ by tourism. Knowing the turbulent history of one of the worldโ€™s youngest nations and the struggles the East Timorese people have been through, itโ€™s hard not to appreciate the contrast between the countryโ€™s intense beauty and extreme hardships.

If you ever find yourself in Timor with a big blue inky stamp newly pressed into your passport, you absolutely must experience the countryโ€™s beaches. Atauro Island, off Dili, and Jaco Island at the far tip of Timor both offer incredible snorkeling and diving. Just watch out for the crocodiles.

Hong Kong

Whenever I flip through my passport, I usually get “caught up” in my Hong Kong “stamp”. Literally caught up. That’s because the “stamp” is actually an entry slip that I stapled into my passport right beside my mainland China entry/exit stamps. The staple usually slows down page turning and I’m okay with that because I love reflecting on my trip to Hong Kong.

Looking for travel inspiration? Check out the coolest passport stamps from travel bloggers around the world and why we're connected with these locations! #passport #stamps #travel #destinations #inspiration #favoriteplaces #beautifuldestinations #bucketlist

Hong Kong resonated with me because I love big city lights at night. Sitting right on Victoria Harbor, Hong Kong has the impressive backdrop of the water, the skyscrapers,ย and the mountains. The skyscrapers come alive at night with their laser colors performing to music resulting in one fabulous light show.

By far, my favorite thing I did was go to the top of Victoria’s Peak and look out over the city and the water. From way up there, all is silent and you would never know that the hustle and bustle of big city life was carrying on down below. This type of spot is usually my happy place, my thinking place, my place of reflection. Even if it isn’t that for you, it’s an incredible view and one you can’t miss!

    What a fun post! I love getting passport stamps and am always dismayed when I visit a place and DON’T get one — like often happens when I go from country to country in Europe. I have the Machu Picchu stamp and the stamp from Hell in the Cayman Islands, but now I want the Ascension stamp you have! I’d never heard of Ascension Island. I’d like to visit that. And Timor.

    I can’t say that any of my passport stamps are my favorite, but I do love to flip through and reminisce.

      October 17, 2018 at 12:04 pm

      Hi Juliann-I hate when I don’t get the stamp either. The reason it happens so often in Europe is because once you come into the EU, you don’t get stamped again until you leave the EU. So, if you come into France and then travel to Spain, Switzerland, and Germany (or any other country in the EU), you won’t get those stamps. Then say you leave the EU from Germany, you will get a Germany stamp because you are exiting the EU from there. So moral of that story, try to either fly in or out of the country if you really want its stamp! As far as Ascension Island, I don’t have that stamp either. That was from another travel blogger. I hadn’t heard of it either, but I want to go! Thanks for reading! ๐Ÿ™‚

    This was a fun round up. It’s great hearing from all these cool peeps. I think I have only been to Hong Kong and gotten a stamp. We never left the airport in Japan so no stamp was issued. We need to get to Peru, Ecuador, and Bonnaire for real. So many places to go and so little time.

I collect a stamp, foreign money, a postcard and a photo of me in every country I go to so I can put it in a small frame. I think it’s time to add a photo of the passport stamp too!

    Loved this! I think all of us who travel have a thing for passport stamps, and this was a great collection, and a wonderful way to do a round-up article from different bloggers. It’s so cool to see the stamps from East Timor and from Cuba, and your passport really does become a collection of travel memories.

    What a fun, comprehensive post! There were lots of places on here I haven’t been (though I do have the same Japan stamp as Cat, haha), so it was interesting to see what those stamps look like. I’d never heard of Hell, Grand Cayman — that’s so funny!! I remember when a friend and I went on a day trip to Luxembourg, and we spent a while trying to find an office that would give us an official passport stamp… in vain. But I love looking at my passport and the diversity of stamps in it too. Great idea for a post! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Hi Julianne-Ha! You sound just like me…some of the stamps in my old passport especially I had to “work for” meaning I had to chase someone down to get them and even convince them (read: beg them) to stamp it! Things you do…but just like they validate your presence in the country it’s like it validates my travels in some weird way (even though the photos do too). And yes, Hell, Grand Cayman is pretty funny! Thanks for reading! ๐Ÿ™‚

    What a fun post! I especially love the Galapagos one with the shark! I’ve had many of times that I’ve had to beg for a stamp – I feel like that shouldn’t be the case but oh well! Can’t wait to add several of these to my passport!

      Hi Ashley-Right? You shouldn’t have to beg for a stamp. What’s the point in having them if you don’t use them? Glad you liked the post. I’m hoping to add several of these to my list too! Thanks for reading! ๐Ÿ™‚
