]]>Well-Rounded
It’s quite often that a travel blogger will make it their full-time job. They quit their 9 to 5 and declare to their fanbase that being an influencer is everything they aspire to, and not much else. But Victoria has is more well-rounded when it comes to her career. Sure, she travels a lot and shares her journey with her fans, but she’s also a software engineer behind the scenes. If that’s not versatile, we don’t know what is!
Great Content
In any case, the reason that people love her account so much is because she’s exceptional at taking amazing photos. From her ability to capture vivid colors, to her knack for recognizing great contrast of texture, everything she does simply “works”. Sometimes it just boils down to that.

]]>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!

]]>Find Your Niche
One great way to make your travel blog stand out is to have it focus on a niche topic that people are interested in. Whether it’s New Zealand beaches or the best places to eat in Polish cities, find something fresh, unique, and creative to focus on!
Document Everything
When you are off traveling, you never know when something memorable might appear before your eyes. This is why it is so important to always document everything. Whether it’s with a digital camera, your phone, or a GoPro, make sure that you are always keeping a record of what you see.
Use Social Media
If there is any perfect way to build your travel blog’s brand nowadays, it’s via social media. Be sure to create accounts on platforms like Twitter and Instagram in order to build your following and give people a taste of what your blog offers!

Better known by his online moniker FunForLouis, Cole is a travel content maker machine, posting a daily video blog on his channel, which documents his life and travels around the world.
Now, he wants to teach others how to do the same, supporting other influencers is their pursuit of happiness and fame. “Hanging out with other influencers and collaborating with people is usually the best way to reach a new audience,” he shared with Entrepreneur.
“Instagram changes its algorithm so much nowadays, it’s become a lot more complex than when I first started. When I was growing my Instagram following, most of it came from being featured on the Popular Page, which was the same Popular Page no matter where you were in the world.
#Oprahs2020VisionTour“In terms of the order that I post stuff, I try to mix it up,” he further explains. “I try not to post tons of photos of one thing in a row. So if I just posted a closeup shot of me doing something, I’d probably then post a wider landscape shot. You have to keep it really mixed rather than post similar shots together. And then also, trying to mix up the colors—like I wouldn’t have three very blue posts together. It’s all a personal choice, but I like looking through my feed and it just being aesthetically pleasing [to] the eye.”
But according to Cole, it all boils down to being passionate about what you do and sharing this passion with your audience. “Come from a place of being passionate about capturing and sharing moments—not straight from this mentality that [you] want to make money or jump straight into having Instagram as a revenue generator or a business,” he says.
“That’s an added bonus if you can get to that stage, but if that’s your initial goal, it could be quite tricky especially if you’re not enjoying what you’re doing. I think the audience can really notice that as well.”
We had such an incredible time exploring the beautiful streets of the old town in Cartagena, Colombia. One of the highlights of the new group trips we have launched with @livetheadventure & @ftlotravel Follow him for sow entertaining content and good advice.

]]>
It’s hard to believe this spot is so close to the metro area with opportunities to paddle, fish, boat, camp, see wildlife, & explore new cities along the river. I made a vlog about my most recent camping trip on the Croix. It’ll be shown during the @stcroixriverassociation’s “Keeping the Croix – A Virtual Celebration” on Facebook, happening this Sunday from 6:30-7pm! Can’t make it but want to support & protect the river? There’s a silent auction happening right now with some pretty amazing items including a 3-day paddle on the Namekagon, a beautiful canoe, & fly fishing trip! Link in bio for the event invite & silent auction.The mastermind behind Girl of 10,000 Lakes, Anderson shares stories, tips, and inspirational videos and photos that encourage others to explore the great outdoors. “My goal is to evoke inspiration and wonder through the beauty of the great outdoors,” she writes on her website.
Here’s a highlight reel of adrenaline-pumping memorable moments with some of my fav @wsisports ladies! Thanks for dealing with us & taking us fishing for Lake Michigan’s finest salmon & trout, Cap. Jimmie! 
And then. there’s her love of lakes and fishing. “There are few places I’d rather be than canoeing in the Boundary Waters, ice fishing on Mille Lacs or enjoying lake life at the cabin,” she writes.
“I think everyone should experience the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness at least once in their lifetime,” she added in a dedicated post, “and if you can, do it with an outfitter. Whether it’s the pristine waters or secluded wilderness, the call of loons, eagles soaring above, the milkiest of milky ways or the fantastic fishing—there are so many reasons Nick and I go back several times every year.”
You’re not alone. It might feel like life has been put on pause — but I’ve got news for you. The waves are still crashing, life is budding on trees, eagles are nesting, the northern lights are dancing… & I can show you! To help us feel not-so-alone, I rounded up a compilation of some of the best LIVE STREAM cameras of nature & wildlife. Link in bio or stories! 
I’m not a health care expert, a scientist, or a politician — but I am good at photos, videos, & using technology to connect with others. My hope is to foster some optimism, positivity, connectedness, & joy while many of us stay tucked away at home more than usual. The world is still moving along, even if it might not feel like it. And by all means, get outdoors! Breathe in that fresh air! It’s good for you. We are lucky our state parks, trails, & recreation areas in MN remain open. Just be smart. Follow the CDC and WHO for the most up to date info & guidelines & take them seriously. Wash your hands, use sanitizer, & practice social distancing to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We each need to do our part.Still, Anderson’s love for all things outdoors wasn’t something instilled in her. According to her bio, her wanderlust came later on in life. “That’s why no matter your experience level, I encourage you to to take more detours, step outside your comfort zone, and try something new outdoors,” she writes.
. 
I’m back from Maui & feeling well-rested + refreshed. I had no idea there was so much to do in Maui! Loved whale watching, biking down the switchbacks of Haleakala, & lounging by the pool with a double piña colada. 
Disconnecting from social media during our travel was the best decision ever because 1) I could focus on creating memories & not worry about posting 2) I proved to myself I can survive without social media (even if it was just a week) & life goes on for everyone else too. Travelling full time with her partner and child, her adventures are just what our thirsty feed craves.
. How about you? Looking forward to a slow weekend for the first time in a long time. We are heading to the orchard/pumpkin patch, drinking too many pumpkin spice lattes, baking sweets & autumnizing the front porch

]]>This turned out to be quite the plan. Having spearheaded the movement of living an alternative and international lifestyle, over the years they have cultivated a community of nearly 2M+ social media subscribers.
Their mantra? “When you’re 80 years old, what will matter most is not the latest iPhone you bought, how much you’d stacked your résumé, or how many followers you had on social media. What will matter most is the $100 you spent on a trip to Montréal and became best friends with the twerking performer on the train.” In this regard, their catchphrase “It’s time to shut up and go”, seems pointed enough.
But like most travel influencers, their journey began sort of by chance. “We started making videos mainly because we found it was fun,” they shared with CelebMix. “Nobody really watched them at first besides our friends and family (who we would force to watch), but we enjoyed watching everything we squeezed into our trips—cool, cheap, or free places to go that we thought people should know about. We didn’t see anything like it on television or on YouTube, and that’s when the journey began.”
According to the couple, they also knew that there were tons of people out there who wanted to travel but really just didn’t know how—or who thought they were too broke, or too busy, or too scared. “We knew that because we were friends with these kinds of people,” they explain.
#mindbangerAs such, their content is very much relatable, breaking down the know-how of the travel/blogging lifestyle. You’d want to follow them around.

]]>“Back in 2016, Perth, Western Australia; with pen and paper, we mapped out our hopes and dreams for the future,” they recall. “We wanted to travel and to volunteer overseas. So we listed all the countries we’d like to visit… the list it got bigger and bigger.”
. . . #vervetmonkey #diywild #diywildsouthafrica #monkeymagic #volunteering #vervetsinthemist #lifejourney4two #overlandingafrica #roadtrippingtheworld #worldadventures #travelphotography #naturephotography #sonyalpha #sharesouthafrica #traveldeeper #travelblogger #Having composed their list they came to the conclusion they needed to make it happen.
“We have sold all of our belongings and are road tripping our way around the world,” they write on their website. “We’re sharing our road trip journeys, destinations, inspirations, tips, and photography along the way. When our adventure began, it was only going to be for a year… but the paths less travelled still called our name… the journey continues.”
4 years later and having ticked over 30 countries on their maps, the couple is now committed more than ever to life on the road. On 29 January 2020, they arrived in Africa to begin their road trip across the continent for a few years.
In a recent blog post, they share their take on the South African bush. “We Australians generally like to think that we aren’t too delicate and can handle a challenge or two,” writes Lars Roes. “Surely there must be similarities of sorts between living in the Australian bush and here? Well, if you haven’t been to Africa before then you can throw those preconceptions out the window.”
According to Roes, their daily routine in the South African bush is not governed by time on a watch, but by sunrise and sunset. “Days of the week and the hour of the day are of little importance,” he writes. “There are no sounds except that of the South African bush and anything living within. It took us a few days to normalize to this new setting and another few to feel like a part of the bush itself.”
Following the couples’ adventures on social media is a real treat!
