Instagram VS Reality – Travel Blogger Edition

I like to think I’m pretty decent at taking photos and getting better at travel photography each trip, but when I stop and compare my shots to successful travel Instagammers… oh boy! I gotta work on my popular influencer shots! 🙂

Below are some Instagram travel blogger tropes and two examples of each, followed by my version. This is meant to be a funny post, but in all seriousness, these Instagrammers are great at what they do, and I’m making fun of myself, not them. You should follow all of them!
