Here are eight types of Instagram posts and stories you’ll encounter if you are following someone who is traveling. Good luck.
1. Post a boomerang video of the suitcase
Of course your 4 day vacation to Mykonos requires two large suitcases per person.
2. The mandatory passport snap at the airport
Just another low-key way of saying, “check out my Australian passport”.
3. The necessary documentation of your lounge visit
Did you really chill at Beirut Rafic Hariri Cedar Lounge if you didn’t snap the free cappuccino, glass of champagne, and croissant you enjoyed?
4. The hotel room Instagram tour
Walking slowly around your room and showing us every corner? Nice bathroom…that is what you get when you book the $700 suite, stop pretending to be shocked or as the hotel just gifted you this – you literally paid for it!
5. The “yi fi WiFi 3al tiyara” story.
I mean yeah, it is 2019, ‘bout time.
6. The most obvious posts ever!
The classic stories that show that you are blending in with the locals: “Hi, guys I met this woman and she makes bags from recycled plastic” or a story if you partying with a random hot people. The best ones are the pasta and pizza stories or posts if you are in Italy: “Omg guys, it is sooo good here!” What did you expect from the country the invented both dishes?
7. The welcome back stories
“Good to be back in my bed”, they post after a long weekend in Dubai. Can we all calm down?
8. The throwback posts that last at least six-months after return
Oh honey, if you thought that you had seen the last of someone’s vacation when it ends, you are so wrong. Once a trip is over, the social media throwback potential lasts years and years. These posts come in handy especially when you want to post a bikini shot during winter from your Thailand solo trip because your body used to look ~so good~.
