The Birth of TapYourStory

Traveling has always been a passion for me and my boyfriend. Together, we’ve explored countless destinations across Europe, the U.S., Australia, and even parts of the Middle East. But what makes our adventures truly unique is how differently we experience them.

For me, every trip begins with history and context. I dive deep into the stories of a place, soaking up its culture and landmarks with a sense of curiosity about its past. My boyfriend, on the other hand, thrives on connection. He finds joy in meeting locals, learning about their lives, and immersing himself in their traditions. While I’m captivated by the “things” and the history, he’s drawn to the “people” and the present.

This difference made me realize something profound: no two journeys are ever the same. Each person’s experience is shaped by their unique perspective, emotions, and interactions. Yet, as we wandered through countless souvenir shops, everything seemed generic and impersonal. The mass-produced trinkets didn’t capture the depth of the memories we had created.

At the same time, I noticed another trend: the way people treasure photographs from their travels. These images aren’t just about visiting a famous landmark or replicating a postcard shot—they’re about capturing a moment in time. The emotions, the people, the stories behind those pictures make them truly special.

These reflections led to the idea for TapYourStory. I wanted to create keepsakes that are as unique and personal as the moments they represent. Using NFC technology, we’ve reimagined how memories can be shared and experienced.

Our first product is a customizable fridge magnet. It’s more than just a photo—it’s a portal to your cherished memories. Print your favorite image on the magnet and link it to a digital memory, whether it’s a video, a message, or something else entirely. With just a tap of your phone, your photo comes alive, allowing you to relive those moments over and over again.

At TapYourStory, we believe memories aren’t meant to sit idly in albums or devices. They’re meant to be experienced, shared, and celebrated. Our mission is simple: to turn your treasured moments into tangible stories that spark joy every time you revisit them.

Because your memories are uniquely yours—and they deserve to be honored that way.
