How To Take Self-Portraits for Solo Travel, Couples Photographs, & More! I have tried so many styles of photography before finding my passion as a travel & outdoors photographer. But I was still taking mostly landscape photographs as a travel photographer...

Because honesty is overrated 👇️⁠ ⁠ 🤥 " Because honesty is overrated 👇️⁠
⁠
🤥 "No, I'm not traveling alone, I'm meeting up with friends"⁠
You are NEVER traveling alone. You are always meeting up with friends later, or your friend has the stomach flu today, or they're at the shops, something. The key part is someone is waiting for you!⁠
⁠
🤥 "I don't remember where I'm staying"⁠
Usually accompanied with something like "oh it was dark" or "I'm so jetlagged can't remember" or literally just point in any direction and say "that way."⁠
⁠
🤥 "Yep I have a boyfriend/husband/partner"⁠
Whether or not you're even married, have a boyfriend, it doesn't matter. You can even wear a fake wedding ring if that helps you feel more secure! Bonus points your fake man is also waiting to meet up with you (circling back to the first lie)!⁠
⁠
🤥 "Oh I've been here before"⁠
It's always a good move to look more confident and knowledgable than you might actually be - so lie even if it's your first time somewhere! It's easier to take advantage of someone who is confused or unsure, so fake it until you make it!⁠
⁠
🤥 "Sorry, I don't speak English"⁠
Deliver this one in your best anything accent, OR ... if you're feeling spicy say it with zero accent and VERY direct eye contact, and stare them down until it's awkward. Then leave.⁠
⁠
TRUST your gut and remember you don't owe anyone the truth! Your safety is the top priority. Have you told any lies traveling solo? Share your your go-to in the comments!⁠

Are you guilty of any of these?!👇️⁠ ⁠ ❌ Are you guilty of any of these?!👇️⁠
⁠
❌ Not arriving to sunset early enough - it WILL be crowded!⁠
⁠
❌ Skipping the beaches - like the amazing black sands of Perissa!⁠
⁠
❌ Not visiting the rest of the island & only seeing Oia⁠
⁠
❌ Visiting Santorini on the same day cruise ships arrive - check the cruise schedules and avoid Oia & Fira on those days⁠
⁠
❌ Not eating local food - Greek food is AMAZING and each island has its own specialties!⁠
⁠
❌ Arrive expecting to party - Santorini is more of a romantic couple's vibe than a party island and there's not a lot of nightlife⁠
⁠
❌ Expecting everything to be on time - give yourself extra time to get places, you're on island time now (delays, traffic, & more)⁠
⁠
❌ Forgetting to sunscreen - not only is the Greek sun strong, but it reflects off white surfaces too⁠
⁠
❌ Not booking your hotel in advance - this is a VERY popular island so book early⁠
⁠
❌ Arriving in the dark - it can be very challenging to drive at night and find your hotel down a small road!⁠
⁠
❌ Not bringing an international driver's license to rent a car - for US citizens, I'd recommend grabbing one at AAA before you go!⁠
⁠
What do you think - is Santorini worth visiting?!⁠

Do your dreams scare you?⁠ ⁠ For the longest t Do your dreams scare you?⁠
⁠
For the longest time, I held back on this big dream of mine to travel the world solo for a year. ⁠
⁠
I was afraid no one else would "get it" - why would I abandon a comfortable life for a year of unknowns, of firsts, of different beds each night? ⁠
⁠
I was afraid to do it all on my own. Having to make every decision myself, taking charge of planning it all out, having no one else to turn to if things got difficult.⁠
⁠
I was afraid how it would affect my relationships with my partner, my family, and my friends. Would my marriage fall apart if I was gone an entire year? How would I stay connected and how much would I miss out on?⁠
⁠
I was afraid of running out of money, and I was afraid of how it would affect my career. What would happen at the end of the year?⁠
⁠
Was I "selfish" for wanting to just LIVE my life to the fullest and put myself first for once? ⁠
⁠
The thing is, you won't ever truly know until you take a chance on your dreams. Until you jump right in and figure it out as you go. But I have a feeling - despite how terrifying it is - that it will all work out, and at the end of it all, you'll be glad you took a chance on yourself. So why not give it a shot?⁠ 💕
