]]>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!

]]>Traveling to some of the most stunning places across the globe, Karafin shares beautiful photos, where she can be seen sporting some stylish outfits. “Traveling alone takes resilience and an open mind,” she admits in one blog post. “It takes courage and stepping out of your comfort zone,” she notes, adding that traveling solo is something everyone should do at least once in their lives.
As excited as I am, safety still remains the TOP priority. – @iata.training released an interactive map (google: IATA Travel Regulations map), on which you can see all the updated travel restrictions and border openings by country! – You can also search: “COUNTRY NAME travel covid” and click on the official embassy website to see what travel restrictions are in place based on your passport! – Consider traveling locally & PLEASE support local businesses, boutique hotels, mom & pop restaurants, gift shops, and more. – @thepointsguy is a great resource to be up to date on all things travel & flying as more information becomes available 
– If you can financially, consider using a travel agent for your next trip! Travel agents suffered unimaginable losses during the pandemic and even so, they are often able to offer really low package deals 
– I filmed a fantastic #TalksWithElona episode with the Owner of Plane Talking PR – we talk about biosecurity in airports, the cleanliness of aircraft, and the future of travel. Make sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel / podcast to hear it first! – Safety, undoubtedly, is the top priority and as we continue to learn about safety measures for upcoming travel – it is imperative that we look after each other. Please wear a mask. Please wash your hands. And please don’t travel unless you feel 100% healthy.According to Karafin, traveling solo teaches you how to be comfortable with yourself, appreciate silence, and most importantly—uncover the deep ends of your cognitive spectrum.
. . 
: @jerometraveller“The biggest excuse I hear all the time is, ‘I really want to share my experiences with someone else, that’s why I’d never travel alone,'” she writes. “You don’t always have to share your experiences with someone else—you’d be shocked to discover how different your surroundings are when you see them through your own lenses without anyone else’s two cents.”
If you could go anywhere in the world right now to see someone that you miss – where would you go? . . . quote by Jonathan Safran Foer 
With travel being a full-time gig, she creates content for various brands in the travel and lifestyle arenas. But she also leaves space for some charity work. This year, writes Karafin on her website, she’s focusing more on humanitarian efforts, leading various philanthropic initiatives to help children in underserved communities, and running a charity for underprivileged kids with cancer.

With its design strongly influenced by the tomb (yes, tomb) of architect Sir John Soane, the iconic red booth is a staple of British culture 
. Nearly every single person in the area has a cell phone nowadays, so the phone booth has lost a lot of its core purpose. Some kiosks, like the one I’m standing in, are victims of severe vandalism and are marked with a pungent smell of urine (worth it for the picture am I right?

Did you know that there’s a grassy park right in front of the iconic Hollywood Sign in LA? It’s the perfect spot to hang out and indulge in an elevated iced coffee experience with @peetscoffee Blended Coffee Fluent in French and conversational in Spanish, Murray is a proud Afro-Latina with Honduran Garifuna roots and has a solid audience across platforms—with the majority being millennial women from the United States.
This is something I’ve been pondering, and I’d love to know what you guys think! …. I went to the beach recently and saw so many plastic bottles on the shore and it made me sad 
I wanted to post about it, but the way I’ve seen environmentally conscious influencers be ripped to shreds (I once saw a girl get attacked for having a straw in a photo – turned out it was reusable) is a little scary 
And since I’m not leading a perfectly eco-lifestyle, I wonder if it’s okay to even talk about these types of things? …….. I’m just learning as I go (shoutout to my girl @heyashleyrenne 
) but I do believe that everyone can (and should) care about the environment, even if it’s as simple as making eco-friendly choices when it’s convenient. 
I’d love to occasionally share eco-friendly brands, repurposing hacks and things I learn along the way, but I’m still on the fence. Let’s discuss! “Life is a journey, and I’m excited to help you live yours out loud!” she writes on her website. “Be it finally embracing your natural curls, perfecting you skincare routine, or traveling solo for the first time—you’ll be sure to find the inspiration and resources you need right here.”
Now that we’ve all had time to accept that our 2020 adventures didn’t go as planned, I thought I’d flip the script! 
Has anyone else had this happen? ….. All the mishaps aside… I’d still be more than willing to do it all over again 
hopefully next year!A passionate traveler, in an interview with Travel Coterie she admitted travel has enhanced who she already was deep inside. “It’s made me more confident and self-assured, allowed me to be more compassionate towards others and expanded my ability to look at the bigger picture in life,” said Murray.
I was going to rent an Airbnb in Paris before heading to Southwest France for a wedding which got postponed to 2021. 
Paris is one of my favorite places so I was pretty bummed, but I’m in good health so I can’t complain. 
I’ve been binging on French reality shows and listening to a lot of French music to make up for it. “It’s also blessed me with the ability to speak multiple languages, which has changed my life for the better. I have some friends who don’t even speak English that I couldn’t have connected with if it weren’t for travel!”
….. Is it Mother’s Day where you live? Are any of you mothers? I hope you have a great one! 
With an urge to explore new cultures—whether that involves learning new languages or trying out new cuisines—Murray is just the kind of influencer we seek in our feed. Noteworthy posts include a guide to Planning the Perfect Girl’s Trip to Barbados and How to Get Paid to Teach English Abroad.

Ok, enough with all the bad puns but I wanted to draw your attention to this list! October is typically the BEST month to leaf-peep in Maine and the state goverment even puts out a Fall Foliage Report
so you know where and when the best colors are (so cute, right?). Based on my research, here are the top spots I saw/heard over and over again: 1. Acadia National Park/Bar Harbor 2. Camden Hills State Park 3. Moosehead Lake 4. Rangeley Lakes Scenic Byway 5. Baxter State Park ___ Now, where I was in Southern/Coastal Maine isn't a prime fall foliage destination BUT on my last day in the state I made a brief detour at Bradbury Mountain State Park which is pretty scenic regardless (great views) and had some fall colors to boot! ___ Do you enjoy fall? Have you ever gone looking for fall foliage? 
A thrill-seeker who’s always in the midst of planning her next trip, Raymond has bungee jumped over the Zambezi River, fished for piranhas in the Amazon, and climbed active volcanoes in Guatemala and Ecuador, amongst her many adventures.
As the author of the award-winning travel blog “Oneika the Traveller,” she is the recipient of a Gold Medal in the 2018 SATW Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism Competition for Best Travel Blog and was also named Wanderful’s 2019 Creator of the Year. But incredibly enough, she didn’t grow up traveling but discovered a passion for it quite later in life.
“I grew up in Toronto in an immigrant family—my parents were born and raised in Jamaica,” she recalled in an interview with Passion Passport. “We didn’t really have much of a culture of travel.”
It was only during her studies in university that she took a leap of faith. “Eventually I realized it was travel that was really feeding me. It wasn’t necessarily the idea of being away from home, but the idea of discovering, of learning something new every day, of stretching my boundaries and living outside of my comfort zone—that’s what I really enjoyed.”

I've taken my shoes off and left them at the door as well. However, I notice that in the USA

Guess it's not so bad to be a Canadian after all, eh? “In the early 2000s, when I was traveling and writing, there were very few black people doing this online,” she notes. “I got a lot of positive feedback.”

]]>The post Louis Cole Will Inspire You to Turn Your Passion for Travel Into a Business appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>
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.

]]>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.
