[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PSA: if you don’t think travel pictures are worthy of posting on social media—then what do you think is worth posting?

FWIW, I prefer travel pics to anniversary pics or food pics. Birthday pics are fine, but they really aren’t as interesting as seeing travel pics.

If the haters simply hate everything on social media, then I don’t see how their opinion matters. Social media isn’t mandatory. People who enjoy it would seemingly enjoy travel pics. [/quote]

Yes, I prefer travel pics to reposts of random crap or workout or food pics. I have a friend who posts everything in her entire life. Her life is not very interesting. It is kind of sad actually.[/quote]

Exactly. Travel posts are actually interesting to many of us. If you are too virtuous for social media, then your issue is with social media and not the travel pictures. Please don’t pretend that you all have found the hack to enjoying vacations mindfully or whatever. People can share a picture or two and still enjoy their vacations. [/quote]

+1.  People are taking this way too seriously.  It majorly depends on the person.  If you are boastful and competitive in life, that is how you come across on social media.  If you don't have that reputation and are generally enjoying life, you aren't perceived that way (minus the group of people on this thread who perceive EVERYTHING that way)

I love posting on instagram and the feedback has been great.  I've had fantastic recommendations on things to see, do & stay, comments from old friends and people I haven't heard from in awhile, I've even connected with my old college roommate because we realized we were in the same city one time.  It wouldn't have happened otherwise!
  I've had bartenders and small business owners thank me for the shout outs.  I've randomly connected with various people I know (and many I don't) about different places, events, etc because of postings.  
If you don't like it, scroll past...!![/quote]
