Hello blog! Long time no post. I've always focused on my Instagram, but have recently had a hard time deciding what platform would best compliment my Instagram photos and give me a bigger platform for when I have more to say than just... a 3-20 word caption. Which I do! Don't get me wrong, I love Instagram (arguably too much), but sometimes it can feel shallow. Everyone posting only the best parts of their lives, with the wittiest captions they can think of (has anyone else spent days thinking of a caption and then only using an emoji?!), and there's not a lot of room for showing my personality or any depth.
I have recently tried to get into YouTube. YouTube is just.. a lot of work. Editing videos can be time consuming, especially when you're a perfectionist who watches too much Casey Niestat like me! I also thing "vlogging" takes away from a lot of the experience of actually traveling. I find myself too worried with getting the perfect timelapse, and it feels like I am only experiencing things through my digital camera. It's so much easier to post a recap with photos I've already taken, than to be completely consumed with recording the entire time.
I love editing videos, and I definitely have some vlogs cued up to document my moving process, but I'm going to try to re-direct some energy back to my blog. I have been traveling so much the past couple months, and only a couple photos have made it to Instagram - so this will also be the perfect platform to give everyone a better look into my adventures, where I stayed, and what I did.
Thanks for reading, and I can't wait to share more with you guys soon!
