Don´t try to impress with your holiday anyone except you.
Own your holidays – it is your holidays!
Is everyone posting super cool photos, adventure videos and glamorous shots? While your ideal holiday idea is to lie on the beach and read a book? But that is not that cool right?
Or maybe you enjoy visiting historical churches or museums? But is it trendy enough?
Not everyone who plans trips falls into this trap, but many do. And it is unfortunate.
Do not be afraid to stand behind your holidays. It is your time off, do not let social media to influence your feeling about you and your preferences.
If you would love to level up with top travel bloggers and influencers you would have to invest a lot. Not only time but also money. Just to be able to have as impressive shots you would have to buy a camera, drone and all the gadgets. And on top of that be a master of Photoshop! Don´t forget that one small detail!
Let us for example. We love taking photos of our trips. Are our photos as impressive as some influencers and travel bloggers? Probably not. Do we use filters? No.
If we followed the stereotype of social media travel bloggers we would have to shoot super cool photos, swimsuit photos of my butt. You get where I am going with it.
We take selfies just if there is no one else to take photos of us. But just rarely we post them. We take photos of our surroundings, mountains, and nature. Because that is the reason why we love to travel. And that is also what we want to show you.
Why WOW Affect?
Because nowadays some travellers tend to WOW. From dangerous photos, cool collages to photos to just impress. The study shows that in the chase to impress, travellers are twice likely to do something dangerous for excitement. Influencers try to do something that no one has ever done before to impress followers. Without realizing they can even hurt the environment or other people.
Have you ever heard about Uluru? The massive rock in the middle of Australia Outback? Did you know it is the sacred land of native Australians? Did you know that they forbid tourists from climbing it? And did you know that more than half of tourist have climbed it? All for just cool photos from the top of it…
Fortunatelly, that is done for now as a climbing ban is in order.
