]]>Always on the Road
Scrolling through the feed of people who are constantly on the road will make you want to do the same, but this isn’t realistic for most people. You can give it a try if you’re working remotely but keep in mind influencers are getting paid to do this, while you’re spending your own money.
Luxury Hotels
Even if you manage to travel on regular basis, it’s highly unlikely you’ll be staying at five-star hotels every time. Don’t beat yourself up for it because you can enjoy your accommodation even if it doesn’t cost you a fortune.
Oscar-Worthy Outfits
We all want to have nice photos from our travels, but it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to pack several fancy dresses that look straight out of a fairy tale. Unlike your favorite influencers, you have limited room in your suitcase and brands aren’t sending you free clothes.

]]>Republique
Designed to look like an old French cafe with soaring architecture reminiscent of Tangiers rather than Paris, this ultra-popular cafe will make your tummy and your camera very happy. There’s even a visible breadmaking area so you can watch the food creation in action.
Beverly Hills Hotel Jazz Brunch
According to The Venue Report, this brunch is the most commonly posted on Instagram in LA…and for good reason. It’s a full sensory experience with classical jazz music, a lush courtyard setting, unique food, and even a chance to see a celebrity or two in person. If you’re looking for a spare-no-expense, it-girl-worthy time then this is the reservation to make.
Met Her at a Bar
If you’re looking for a more unassuming, classic brunch spot, try this local neighborhood restaurant. With slightly-larger-than-life classic brunch fare and a large, dedicated customer base you still may want to save your place in line to get a table.

]]>Don’t Be Shy
Yes, taking photos in public can be a little bit awkward sometimes. Whether you’re crouching down to get the right angle, doing exaggerated poses, or using a selfie stick, it can be a little embarrassing. But you have nothing to be ashamed of, and who cares about people who might judge you?
Accessorize
Speaking of selfie sticks, there are plenty of tools that can make your travel Instagrams even better like selfie sticks, tripods, and remote controls. They’re all pretty affordable and make a huge difference, so why not try them out?
Do Your Own Thing
If you spend a lot of time on Instagram, you’ve probably already seen dozens of photos of people at the location you’re visiting. But don’t fall into the trap of just recreating those photos. Try to approach it with a fresh perspective and find your own unique way to photograph.

]]>It goes without saying that Instagram is the number one platform for travel blogging. See a wonderful view? Snap a photo with a cool filter and flank it with a caption about how amazing your day was. Have an inspiring thought to share? Create a story and share with your followers what you’re doing, where you are, and what you’re thinking.
YouTube
If you’re someone who loves making videos during your travels, YouTube is the best way to get your name out there as a travel blogger. Post videos of all kinds, including vlogs, interviews, or anything you can think of.
Personal Website
You totally have the ability to create your very own website where you can blog about everything you’re doing. If you love writing, a personal online blog is a great place to share your endless thoughts with your fanbase.

]]>Using Hashtags
Hashtags are a fantastic tool that allow you to target your posts, reach a greater audience, and make inroads into the type of travel content that you share on social media. Let’s take a look at why and how you can tailor the hashtags you use.
These “tags” on photos, used by adding a word or phrase after the # sign, are a tool that you can use to your heart’s content, adding as many as you like to your posts which are relevant to your profile or the pictures you share.
𝘗𝘢𝘶, 𝘍𝘙
(@jenni.dealm)If you’re a travel blogger, use relevant hashtags such as #travelblogger or #travelblog to make users who are interested in seeing posts from users like you drawn to your feed.
Also, if you are visiting a certain place or photographing a certain type of “scene,” using hashtags that are commonly used with pictures of this place or thing are another fantastic way to have other users discover your profile as they look for posts related to this hashtag.
Learn to use hashtags, and you will find your follower base and readership grow exponentially. It’s a great tool to be an expert in!

]]>With their new-found love more important to them than security, comfort, or a career—the two took on a nomad lifestyle and created a brand that allows them to live life to the fullest. “We set about creating a life that would allow us to spend everyday together doing what we love while have a positive impact on the world,” they write on their website.
Over the years, the couple has traveled the world and seen the most beautiful places, met the happiest people and discovered new ways of living. Through their experiences, they’ve been able to collect the tools they needed to design a dream lifestyle.
“We’ve worked hard to make our dreams become a reality—make no mistake about that, but the tools we’ve collected over the years, the lessons we’ve learned, and the thought processes we’ve constructed that have helped us succeed, are very much acquirable,” they write.
Their goal now is to share their knowledge with others through their online blog. Blog posts include how to stay healthy on the road, how to make money online, and how to deal with the fear of failure. Recent blog posts also zoom in on traveling during Covid, such as a list dedicated to 5 Ways to be a Responsible Tourist During Covid-19.
“It wasn’t easy, we had many set-backs and we faced a lot of criticism/doubt from almost everybody around us,” write the inspiring couple. “But we can tell you now that our commitment to creating our life the way we wanted was the best thing we’ve ever done and will ever do.”
Their Instagram page will inspire you, if nothing else.
