It has been six years since this photo-sharing app snatched our spare time and it already has more than 500 million active users sharing an average of 80 million photos a day.
Clearly, people have an appetite for imagery, and it’s influencing their travel decisions.
1. Take the rarest photos ever
Don't join the bandwagon and take shots everyone is taking. You want your pictures to be rare and special.
Try a really crazy pose or take a shot from an angle nobody has tried before.
2. Make it look like you're having fun
Even if you are not! People do not want to follow or like photos of you looking like you could kill someone.
The goal of travelling is to have fun, appreciate new cultures and traditions and meet new people.
3. Photos with the locals are super important
Do not forget the locals! Colour bright pictures of the local people would go a long way.
Try as much as possible not to portray them in a bad light.
4. Photos with your travel group and host
Go happy photos of travel group and host is a plus.
5. Do dangerous things
Please don't dive from a cliff! Dangerous as in taking a shot on the edge of a cliff.
