I hate to admit it, but I’ve definitely planned a shot before actually enjoying the view. On a trip to Hawaii, I spent more time trying to get the perfect sunset photo than actually watching the sunset. It made me wonder—would I still love traveling as much if I couldn’t share it online? Part of me thinks social media enhances the experience, letting me relive moments and connect with others. But sometimes, I feel like I’m performing travel instead of actually living it. What do you think? Does social media add to the fun, or is it taking away from the authenticity of travel?

I ponder this too but overall I find it motivating. I only wind up posting a tiny percentage of the photos I take but social media inspires me to go see those places. And the photos really help me remember the experience. I feel I’m getting my creative outlet along with satisfying the need for discovery and adventure.

I always loved traveling and photography long before social media existed so I guess that’s how I know it isn’t my primary motivation.

I am passionate about travel and photography and feel especially inspired in many places, but the whole instagram / socials photo bucket list trend is annoying and exhausting to be around - so a negative vote for social media travel posts.
