See the World Through Tara Whiteman’s Eyes

Remember a time, not long ago, when we could hop on a plane and travel around the world? Yeah, we can’t remember as well. Thankfully, we still have Instagram to look to. But is it a blessing or a curse?

Our latest travel inspiration comes from travel blogger and it-girl, Tara Whiteman. Known as Tara Milk Tea, Whiteman has built a massive following, thanks to her stylish take on travel, lifestyle, and food blogging. “I started focusing on creative projects while studying in university,” she shared with Helen Chik, recalling how it all started. “In my first year of study (2013), I picked up an internship where they asked me to manage their social media and creative content, which was all very new to be honest! This really ignited my passion for creative projects and photography, and I guess it’s all been magic since then!”

With 1.3 million fans on Instagram—it’s clearly all been magic. Whiteman’s following also means she gets to travel around the world, at least when traveling is permitted. Seeking out the most beautiful and brightest locations around the world, she has so far visited countries like Spain, Canada, Japan, Malaysia, and Thailand (but really, the list goes on and on).

“I try really hard to ‘do it all’, and know that I definitely can’t, and that’s okay, but I only really figured that out the hard way,” she admits. “I find one of the best ways to overcome stresses or creative blocks is to switch off. As much as I love the online world and my community, detoxing is one of the best ways to cleanse yourself—as cliché as that may sound!”

We promise to do some digital detoxing when traveling is safe. Until then…
