Brag about your vacation without Irritating people – Know how?

 

Social media is a fickle beast. Our social media friends too change their colors. We want to impress them all. We notice them all view our pictures but do not hit LIKE. Still we want to brag n brag, afterall we have just taken an amazing trip so why not.  It's tough to draw the line between over-sharing, bragging, and boring, and nowhere is this line more blurred than when traveling.

Here is a  way to humble-brag efficiently? We've found a few dos and don'ts so that you can brag about your vacation without irritating or alienating everyone.

1. Don't post hotel room photos that add no value

Posting pictures of your hotel room the second you checked in just to show people that you're on vacation is a NO-NO. Wait until you can get some poolside pics.

2. Do post pics that make people want to go there

Posting incredible images of stunning views and landscapes that make people want to pack their bags and join you are not just acceptable, but encouraged. It's hard not to like a beautiful sunset, no matter how jealous it makes you.

3. Don't post too many pictures

No one wants to see 34 pictures of the same hike or every single meal you've eaten in the last five days. Restrict yourself to post few pictures that describe best of your vacation.

4. Don't post pictures of food

It is even if sanjeev kapoor has made your meal, unless you're a professional food photographer, pictures of food will 99% of the time look crappy, under lit, and unappetizing. Restrict yourself

5. Don't make it about yourself

No one wants to hear how you got stopped by  cow and how you managed to get it fixed. Stop posting these events.

6. Do make it about the people and the place

Instead, people want to hear about the locals and the culture that where with. This makes you unique.

7. Don't post inspirational quotes

Please, for the love of god, don't spew quotes you found online or on you’re the samshaan wall or outside on the church wisdom board. Inspirational quotes are a worse cliché than a photo of you pinching the top of the Taj Mahal, and guaranteed to irritate all of your followers. Just Don’t.

8. Don't list your experiences like you're going through a checklist

Remind yourself whether you're doing something for the experience of it, or for its Instagrammability. There's nothing worse than rattling down activities and sounding like a brochure for your destination. Don’t Don’t.

9. Don't check into every single place every single time

No one wants to know every time you return to your hotel. Plus, if you're constantly updating your social media accounts, you're obviously not living in the moment or properly enjoying your trip, and quite possibly just straight up showing off. Don't do that please.

 

Just take care of the above points and become a social media star among friends. On each travel, make them love you more!
