This week's TRAVEL TIP: how to take traveling selfies

Embrace all sorts of types of Selfies!
Reflections, shadows, aiming at our feet and putting down the camera are all great ways to break out of the arms length selfie when on our traveling adventures!

Find Murals or Street Art
murals often help a place share a part of its history in a visual way and it is a great way to get to more about where you are. Not only does a mural tell us about the city, but it makes for a great drop back for photos!

Find Makeshift Tripods
As in…a bench, or a rock, or a railing, or even on top of my camera purse as a soft place to rest it and also get that ‘from the ground’ perspective!

Take a Photo Walk
A photo walk can be as simple as taking your camera or phone out with you for a few minutes with no other intention than to capture a bit of the beauty around you and maybe even add yourself into it! You just might find some gorgeous flowers to capture or want to pause in the beautiful morning or evening light!

This week's TRAVEL TIP: traveling as a couple

Set Expectations Before Hand
Make sure that before you take off on your grand adventure, you and your partner have had a conversation about your expectations for the trip. Maybe one of you really prefers to relax while traveling and the other wants to see it all. It’s important to talk about these things before you leave.

Be Present
Seriously, put your phone away and be present in the moment. Make memories with your partner that will last longer than any Snapchat story and mean more than any Instagram like.

Check in Frequently
Make it a point to check in throughout the day with your partner. Are they still enjoying themselves? Is everyone on the same page about the day’s itinerary? Knowing your partner is happy and having a good time will only make your trip more enjoyable.

Have fun!
Most importantly, enjoy this time with your partner. Couple travel can be challenging but it can also be amazing. It’s all what you make of it. You’ve chosen to go on an adventure with them, so make the best of it.

This week's TRAVEL TIP: Traveling in 2018

1. Go somewhere that’s always been on your bucket list.
The new year is the perfect time to embark on new adventures, so why not review the places you’ve always dreamed of seeing and make one of those trips a reality this year? Do your research, find a way to get there on your schedule and budget, and enjoy every moment.

2. But also go somewhere you’d never thought about going before.
2018 is a fantastic year for trying new things, so in addition to crossing off that lifelong bucket list item, also find somewhere new to explore. Read travel magazines and blogs for inspiration, choose a destination and go for it. Some of the best travel experiences are the ones that take you by surprise.

3. Be a tourist in your own town.
If you’re unable to travel as frequently as you’d like in 2018, don’t fret! Travel is more about attitude than destination. Try to see your own town through a tourist’s eyes, and explore new areas, attractions, and restaurants you’d previously overlooked. You never know what you might find.
Happy New Year! Enjoy all the travels that 2018 brings you.
