Travel on Social Media

[Anonymous]

I post pics from my travels, yes, because I travel to interesting places. I know it makes some people jealous, but whatever.

Probably not as interesting as you think, honestly.

I often post pics of significant trips on FB because I have gotten great travel ideas from friends postings on FB. Eg I went to Slovenia after seeing a friend's pics and also included certain places in Arizona based on another's. I also know some of my friends have been inspired to visit places I have posted about. But I don't post pics from a regular trip to Rehoboth or NY etc. And I also understand why some people might think this is obnoxious.

I have to admit that watching Bling Ring on how people robbed Paris Hilton's house based on social media postings made me feel more tentative about posting photos. But I only post on Facebook.

I know this bothers some and makes them jealous. But they can block me if they don't want to see it.

I love seeing photos from places I'll never make it to. So fun.

The fact that you think people are jealous of your travel is pretty funny.

I will make one post when we return if I have some good pictures if I have some good pictures to share. Max of about 5 pictures.

I hate it when people post daily from their trips. I don’t bother looking at more than a handful of pictures unless they’re really unusual even when people post once after their return.

+1

1.) If you are enjoying your trip that much - you don't have time to keep posting!

2.) I have friends who contract with major publications, and are contracted to get paid almost immediately for their work, so they definitely don't post that much.

3.) It is a clear security issue to announce when you are out of town, on SM.

Did you grow up rich? This point of view of not sharing travels with friends and family is foreign to me. So I’m genuinely curious if it’s because you grew up rich and were taught not to brag.

Also curious about if you take photos who traveling at all. Do you ever look at them? Do you make personal print albums for yourself? What if someone asks to see them — do you make an exception?

DP. I didn’t grow up rich and is also think it’s gauche to post travel pics. I love looking back at my own pics. They’re my memories. But I don’t expect anyone else to truly care. It’s sort of like telling people about your dreams. It’s cool that it’s fascinating to you, but trust me, no one else cares to hear about it.

Jealous? No. But posting travel photos on social media can make you a mockery.

Wow. You sound mean. I don't mock my friends.

You are receiving yourself. We all do that. But I will plaster on a smile when I see you in the car pool line and chuckle under my breath about your trip to the Amalfi Coast or USVI or wherever. And I’m not alone.

Why?

Well, I do, so there goes your argument that “no one” cares. When my friends and family post, I like to look. It’s ok if you skip it. We’re just not each other’s people.

No they’re playing rich on the internet and think sharing pictures of travel is something rich people don’t do when … they do

Yes to both of your questions. Photos are taken sparingly and for personal use only.

Lots of rich people are gauche.

Yup, I’m one of those people you all hate and think I’m gauche. I don’t care, scroll past or unfriend me. I also post lots of food pics.

I wouldn't have thought they would be, but soon after I got back from Paris a friend posted how she's jealous that she doesn't get to go to places that look like they are out of Conde Nast like some friends do.

You don't have to be rich to travel though. I traveled the world when I made $60k...
