<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s be honest.\u00a0 We sit at our desks all the live-long day, living vicariously through our unemployed friends and the items they share on social – check-ins, tweets, and most importantly, Instagram shots.\u00a0 Now, we\u2019re not talking about your basic \u201cridin\u2019 round town\u201d Instagram shot of a burger from the local burger joint, or your neighbor\u2019s best friend\u2019s new puppy or the snowflake that just fell.\u00a0 The worst offender, the one who really makes our blood boil, is the vacationer.\u00a0 Mupload upon mupload upon Instagram shot of a twig, a bird, the water, a cocktail.\u00a0 Give me a break. That\u2019s no way to get the engagement you want abroad.<\/p>\n
For me, social media and vacationing is a touchy area.\u00a0 You want to demonstrate how awesome your trip is, of course, but you also want to maximize engagement.\u00a0 You want the most likes and comments on your media, so you have to carefully choose what\u2019s going to make it. Albeit rare, if you do find yourself with the funds and vacation time to get traveling, here are a few acceptable things you can Instagram while on vaca!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Don’t forget to ‘LIKE<\/a>‘ us on Facebook!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nThe Grounds of your Hote<\/strong>l Hotels are all different depending on their location – especially chains.\u00a0 With this you also have the added bonus of potentially being tweeted at by the brand! (Assuming you share your Instagram on Twitter, which, let\u2019s be real, you do). Slap a filter on that baby and your three-star hotel is now totes 5-star.
\nNational Landmarks and Attractions<\/strong> I love the idea of being somewhere where something epic happened.\u00a0 For example, I visited the World Trade Center memorial site recently.\u00a0 To say something epic happened there would be the understatement of the modern world.\u00a0 But to stand there for a second and imagine being there during the attacks really puts into perspective how EPIC this location was, and I want my friends to appreciate and understand the significance.<\/p>\n
\nYour favorite meal (provided it\u2019s unique)<\/strong> I\u2019m not going to sit here and promote the idea of #foodporn.\u00a0 However, I\u2019m not going to discount it.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in a really awesome place and about to be served a really interesting and uncommon dish from a local restaurant, I\u2019m dying to see it! I want to know how weird the cuisine where you are is, and how weird you are for trying it!
\nWhat do you like to share pictures of when you\u2019re on vacation?<\/p>\n
