thank you for this! as a 21 year old who has also adopted the travel lifestyle (will reach my 30th country next year), i agree with everything. i’ve realized that the touristy travel content is so horrible in real life. i speak/learn 5 languages, and i can say the most amazing experiences come from longer term stays where you’re learning the language. it shows people you care about them, you build real connections, and it makes you more excited to see the country and culture. travel influencers are definitely not great and we need to talk about it more
Thank you for being honest and sharing your experience!! I agree 110% with you, the best way to navigate through this is traveling mindfully. We also need to open up more about the impact this is causing. Continue to raise awareness 🙏
Completely agree with this. I’m 2 months into traveling around Asia and see the impact of how social media is affecting how the locals live. I too wanted to become a travel creator for the longest time but the more I travel, I see just how glamourized and unrealistic the content we consume is. The real education and beauty in travel is how you make interact with the culture around you, not just hitting ig spot after ig spot.
Thank you for sharing your perspective on this! It’s been bugging me for a while now and I felt alone with this thought. I’m glad I’m able to connect with like minded people like yourself! You’re competent right, real education comes from being in the present moment, in the culture, off our phones..
Great video. Speaks to all of the trending influencer “ideologies” - glorification of digital nomads, quitting 9-5 to start a business. We program ourselves through this overconsumption of trending content, to the point we don’t know where IT ends and WE begin. Good on you for intentionally unfollowing. The great thing about our minds being easily programmed is that they can be easily unprogrammed too 🙂
