Is Instagram Ruining Your Travel Experience? // Is Social Media Ruining Travel? // Travel vs Reality

Do you think social media is a good or bad thing for travel?

[@helenarichard]

Good. It lures all the plebs to the same spots and keeps the good secret spots empty for me.

@@helenarichard Until they're discovered 😉

Awesome video! I think you made some really good points - especially about enjoying the journey/hike/experience getting there more than chasing the shot!

[@jacklawsontravel]

Thank you! Yes exactly, there's nothing wrong with getting 'that' picture but sometimes you miss what's around you!

Thank you for the reminder of being in the moment, instead of being in an Instagram moment!

[@jacklawsontravel]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

Really liked this video! It's super well made and you are giving very nice commentary! Happy to see more :D

[@jacklawsontravel]

Great thanks!

Love your channel! Haven’t been able to travel much being from Australia but your videos are detailed, well produced and you’re a great presenter!

[@jacklawsontravel]

Aw thanks for the kind words, I know the feeling! I'm finally going away in May and feels so long since my last getaway. I hope my videos have helped you to plan for you next trip 🙂. Always feel free to ask me any questions about a destination in my videos.

I found you because I'm traveling with my bf to the Amalfi coast in 2 weeks and I was amazed by all the detailed information you gave... then I started to check on your channel and wow, this video was so good! I completely agree with you, I actually thought why did we decide to go to Amalfi anyway? I know I've seen so many stunning pictures on IG, was it for that? Then I thought, we're just dying to feel the sun on our face, have a swim in the sea and just eat infinite amounts of Italian food hahaha... at the end, it's the experience I guess. Congrats! this was the video that made me subscribe to your channel.

Aw thanks for the kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed my video, i don't think there's anything wrong with doing IG photos but sometimes it can hurt our expectations.

Thanks for your refreshing take on this. I am visiting Santorini this summer and wondering how much of that decision was based on photoshopped pictures on instagram....

[@jacklawsontravel]

I think the most important thing is to think about what experience you want, try and just let the holiday happen rather than forcing it. I'm sure you'll have a great time!

😅 Promo`SM!

Very nice video ! You seem to be a great content creator. But maybe it's time to cut your hair and embrace the baldness ? ;p

[@jacklawsontravel]

Not really because i'm not going bald, it doesn't run in my family.

What a bizarre comment
