]]>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?

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.

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’m curious: is it customary in your city or country to remove your 
shoes 
. And any time I've visited my husband's family in Germany 
I've taken my shoes off and left them at the door as well. However, I notice that in the USA 
many people don't seem to do this! So I'm curious. Let me know what city/country you're from and whether you keep shoes ON or OFF when you enter a residence!Now, her platform means she gets to reach others and inspire them to live a more adventuress life. Dedicated to inspiring people of color to see the world, she’s a fierce supporter of women who travel and has keynoted at the Women in Travel Summit, at Women’s Travel Fest.
) rate of infection stateside? It's a humbling development given that American passport holders can typically enter 185 countries without restrictions! Guess it's not so bad to be a Canadian after all, eh? 
____ With that said, this conundrum has indeed put the hubs and I in a bit of a weird spot when it comes to traveling. While we're not American (he is a German national), as U.S. Green Card holders domiciled in New York City, we're basically considered American, so this travel ban affects us, too. (That is, unless we travel to our home countries, quarantine for 14 days, then set out for onward travel.) ____ Here are the countries Americans and American residents can currently travel to without any restrictions (swipe for a graphic showing countries with quarantine requirements): Albania Dominican Republic Kosovo Maldives Mexico North Macedonia Serbia Tunisia Turkey ___ Which of these destinations appeals to you the most? Not gonna lie, I looked up tickets to Turkey earlier this week 
. Whether you're American or not, do you have any plans to travel internationally this summer? Where?“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.”
Follow her for those good vacation vibes.

]]>The post A Travel Blogger Shares Her Thoughts In the Age of Coronavirus appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>“This is not like most other travel blogs,” she writes on her website, “my posts are not in any way chronological and I prefer writing about getting dumped on a beach in Thailand than writing about the best places to stay in Brazil.”
Currently back in her hometown of Winnipeg, the past months have saw her slowing it down to a standstill. But what exactly should a travel blogger do when the whole world is under lock down? “Right now, travelling as a tourist isn’t safe,” shared Holeman in a viral Instagram post. “While I’m excited to take some small road trips around Manitoba, I have no desire to travel internationally until I don’t have to worry about bringing COVID-19 back to my home community, and I don’t have to worry about bringing COVID-19 to a community abroad.”
“I love travelling, and I’m lucky enough to make my living from it,” she adds. “But I can’t in good conscience put anyone at risk, whether they’re a loved one or a stranger.” We can’t but admire her reslience.

]]>The post How to Use Instagram as a Source of Travel Inspiration appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>Travel-themed Pages
Instead of following a bunch of individual travel bloggers, opt for several travel-themed boards. They collect the very best photos from all over Instagram in one place, and you can use them to discover a lot of new places around the world.
Useful Information
One of the best things about travel-themed hubs is that they often write detailed posts with a lot of useful information. That’s why you should give extra attention to captions before giving new pages a follow, and make sure they’re interesting and insightful.
Ideas for Photos
If you’re still new to photography, you won’t be 100% sure how to capture some tourist attractions before seeing other people do it. Going through hashtags and geotags on Instagram can be a great source of inspiration for future photos of the place you’re visiting.

]]>The post British Travel Blogger Jess Meyrick is Living Her Best Van Life appeared first on Traveler Dreams.
]]>The British travel blogger, who has 170,000 followers on Instagram, bought a van with her boyfriend Will earlier this year. They named it Pat the Van and prepared to embark on a journey across Europe in their new home, which once belonged to a couple that used it to transport their husky dogs around Norway.
Traveling in a van gave them a new sense of freedom because they finally have the ability to live off the grid without needing to stay in campsites. “I think there is something so freeing about living in the van – we very rarely plan our trips in advance and do most of our research on the road giving us creative freedom. We drive when we want to drive and stop when we want to stop,” Meyrick told Euro News.
Pat the Van features a double bed, wardrobe, seating, and kitchen area, and they even managed to squeeze in a small tub and a fridge. The van is also surprisingly sustainable since it comes with solar panels on the roof that generate all the electricity they could possibly need.

These two go around the world with their cameras in order to capture the best shots of all of their scenic destinations. Despite the stress of traveling with their significant other, these two definitely have a great time and check out an incredible number of fascinating places.
It’s always a surprise to find out where this globe-trotting couple has ended up when checking out the “stories” tab on their account. One of my favorite recent trips that they’ve taken was a journey to Poland, where they sampled all kinds of tasty dishes.
