Not gunna lie, it was a little obvious that some countries were more Instagramable than others in 2016. All it takes is a quick swipe through Instagram for your eyes to fixate, and your finger to double tap, on one of these breathtaking locations that’s likely photographed by your favorite Instagramers.

16-most-instagramable-countries

But in an effort not to be biased with my personal favorite countries I visited in 2016, I asked some of my own favorite Instagramers, who also happen to be some of the top travel bloggers in the world, what they thought were the most Instagramable countries of 2016! From brilliant blue bodies of water to epic architecture, you’ll immediate recognize all of these places, and why travelers flocked from all over the world to capture a photo of them this past year!

Iceland

“This island destination isn’t one for palm trees and tropical cocktails. Iceland’s incredible landscapes are diverse and almost mystical. With expanse fjords, massive glaciers and blue lagoon, Iceland is one of the most naturally beautiful places on earth.” – Kiersten Rich, TheBlondeAbroad

It seems like everyone and their mother, brother, best friend, third cousin, random person they met online, etc., has gone to, and posted photos on Instagram of Iceland this year, and it’s obvious why. It’s basically like a natural amusement park, with every possible phenomenon of nature all on one island. Driving for a few miles is like this: Waterfall! Glacier! Volcano! Waterfall! Black sand beach?

“Iceland is primal. It is what you want everywhere you travel to be. It’s a photographer’s dream because you don’t have to do anything fancy, it just is.” – Lee Abbamonte, LeeAbbamonte.com

India

India is absolutely captivating. No matter where you go, from the slums to the palaces, you’ll see the vibrant colors of elegantly draped sarees, and at least one temple, mosque, or shrine you’ll be dying to take a photo in front of. Oh, and let’s not forget everyone’s favorite, camel selfies!

Cuba

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNZXPRzjIGe/?taken-by=triphackr

“Cuba is a photographer’s dream destination. The decaying architecture, classic cars and diverse landscapes offer an endless variety of colors an opportunities to capture. It’s a beautiful place to visit and photograph.” – Clint Johnston, TripHackr

https://www.instagram.com/p/BFwKyikvOU6/?taken-by=expertvagabond

“Cuba is stuck in time which makes it very charming and unique.” Matt Karsten, ExpertVagabond

Peru

https://www.instagram.com/p/BIQCtFGgPJW/?taken-by=drewbinsky

“Learning about Peru’s indigenous culture and history of the Incan people will blow your mind. Take the 4 day trek to Machu Picchu and it’ll be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.” – Drew Binsky, DrewBinsky

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNm0n_ZhwSK/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

I seriously think that people are starting to push themselves to do the four day Inca Trail hike to Machu Picchu because they see the awesome photos of it on Instagram, and know they can only see these places if they do the hike! That being said, I’d highly suggest doing the Inca Trail, otherwise you can’t see THIS!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNGDx0bDU8n/?taken-by=glographics

“Not every place you visit lives up to its hype, but Machu Picchu was, is, and always will be one of the most incredible places in the world.” – Gloria Atanmo, TheBlogAbroad

https://www.instagram.com/p/BLWFzlwDaDF/

“The hike to the Rainbow Mountain was my best experience in Peru. It definitely beat my experience in Machu Picchu. The hike is tough due to high altitude and snow in certain places, but it’s definitely rewarding.” – Anna Lysakowska, AnnaEverywhere

Norway

https://www.instagram.com/p/BFTdfmEPOWb/

“Village of Hamnøy, part of Norway’s magical Lofoten Islands is a photographer’s dream, as it’s all very photogenic with mountains shooting dramatically from the ocean. Also, red houses in the snow look pretty cool.” – Matt Karsten, ExpertVagabond

https://www.instagram.com/p/BBkNCnps7mq/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

I specifically went to Norway to see the Northern Lights, and when I got to Tromsø, they told me that it’s always a 50/50 chance of seeing them. Well, not only did I see them, but they were so bright that I thought I was going to get abducted by aliens! Tromsø, the northernmost part of Norway, is the perfect place for capturing incredible Northern Lights photos!

Indonesia

https://www.instagram.com/p/BK0hvpVhtYq/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

Indonesia is literally the most perfect, diverse place to take photos! You can go from the beaches of Bali, to the rice paddy fields in Ubud, then off to the crystal clear waters of Lombok and Gili, or the Natural World Wonder, Komodo Island! Here is an awesome view you can see of Padar Island on your way to Komodo!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BLBQ5VrDiux/?taken-by=triphackr

“There are four lakes in the highlands of Bali, and with views like this it’s worth the journey. If you want quintessential Bali, head to Brayan Lake, but expect massive crowds and beautiful photo ops.” – Clint Johnston, TripHackr

https://www.instagram.com/p/BK3Lf2fh8Dz/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

There’s also tons of hidden gems in Indonesia, like these three different-colored volcanic craters in Kelimutu National Park on the island of Flores!

Iran

https://www.instagram.com/p/BDzzBb_ip-S/?hl=en

“Every morning, at 8:30am, the sun rushes across a gorgeous courtyard of stunning Islamic architecture and slices through the stained glass windows of Nasir Ol-Mosk Mosque, one of the world’s most gorgeous mosques. Location: Nasir Ol-Mosk Mosque, Shiraz, Iran.” – Will Hatton, TheBrokeBackpacker

https://www.instagram.com/p/BDETx_0ip91/?taken-by=thebrokebackpacker&hl=en

“Iranian Kurdistan is a place of mighty mountains, tasty food, endless spices and some of the world’s most hospitable people. Best of all, it’s super easy to hitchhike here and for backpackers on a budget you can get by on under ten dollars a day. Exploring this little known corner of Iran is like stepping a hundred years into the past and following in the footsteps of some of the world’s first explorers.” – Will Hatton, TheBrokeBackpacker

Thailand

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNEtqU6gl4n/

 “Thailand is one big Instagram waiting to be captured. The country is full of amazing beaches like this drone shot from Koh Adang, gorgeous temples, peaceful countryside, and plenty of smiling locals along the way.” Hannah Lucaszewicz, GettingStamped

Thailand is another place that you just can’t take a bad picture. From random rock formations jutting out of pristine water like James Bond Island and Railay Beach, to the golden Buddha temples and street markets of Bangkok, Thailand is definitely the place to go to easily capture some awesome IG shots.

United States

 “Imagine a hike so incredible, there’s a $1200 fine for trespassing without a permit. It definitely exists. In an effort to reserve this sandstone playground, only twenty people are allowed into the National Park every day. Take your chances with the lottery, it’s every bit worth the effort.” Steph Be, TravelBreak

https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ-tw3SBHyv/

https://www.instagram.com/p/BKQdOQ1gQ5J/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

 It never occurred to me how many beautiful natural wonders were in the U.S. until I took a 2 week roadtrip through Arizona and Utah. I’ve been to over 50 countries now, and Horseshoe Bend, Havasu Falls, and Antelope Canyons are still some of the most spectacular, mind-blowing places I’ve ever seen!

Mexico

Did you know that one of the New 7 World Wonders is located in Mexico? It’s this ancient sacred temple called Chitzen Itza, just a short drive from Tulum! Not only is it highly photogenic itself, by the cenotes and ruins on the way to it are nothing short of breath taking. Just don’t Google the ancient use for cenotes…

Japan

“Fushimi Inari’s red-orange gates wind their way through the hills outside Kyoto, setting the back drop for a flaming maze of color, and a photographer’s paradise.” – Rachel Rudwall, RachelRoams

https://www.instagram.com/p/BLRBShojOW8/?taken-by=rachelroams

“Nachi Falls tumble from the Kii Mountains beyond the deep red Nachi Shrine, marking the end of the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage.” – Rachel Rudwall, RachelRoams

https://www.instagram.com/p/BLOJyvKhMkh/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

Japan‘s architecture is unlike anything I’ve ever seen before, which is probably why it’s so easily recognized elsewhere (think Japanese Gardens, or even sushi restaurants!). I’d describe it as striking perfection, which of course makes for a equally perfect photo.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BN-HQlZAZPN/

“For awesome photos in Japan, buy a cheap bathrobe kimono off Ebay, and get a legit obi sash, this part isn’t as easy. I found one for like $10 at the mall in Kyoto and it had the premade bow. I still don’t know how to tie it right but I try. The legit obi sash make the thin cheap kimono look legit!” Anna Kate, TheLegendaryAdventuresofAnna

Bolivia

https://www.instagram.com/p/BItL-SHgXbo/?taken-by=drewbinsky

“Bolivia has some of the best rugged and untouched natural landscapes I’ve ever seen. Driving from La Paz to Uyuni with wild llamas and vicuñas running outside is not to be missed!” – Drew Binsky, DrewBinsky

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNhlj0mBD7B/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

The Bolivia Salt Flats (AKA Uyuni Salt Flats) was one of my favorite places to take photos. It was just. So. MIND BLOWING! From the optical illusions created by the white salt desert, to the perfect mirror-reflections you can make during wet-season, this  is definitely one of the most Instagramable places I’ve seen!

https://www.instagram.com/p/-AB-uCDW92/

“Bolivia is one of the most photogenic countries I’ve ever visited. The otherworldly terrain of the salt flats in Uyuni, vibrant scenes around Lake Titicaca and La Paz, and beautiful architecture in the cultural capital of Sucre make it an amazing destination that will take your breathe away.” – Oneika Raymond, OneikaTheTraveller

French Polynesia

https://instagram.com/p/BNm0XVOj-0q/

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNw8vHODJkC/

“The Tahitian islands are some of the most dream-worthy destinations on earth. Whether you’re honeymooning or looking for the ultimate tropical getaway, these islands will wow you with epic landscapes, stunning ocean hues and vibrant marine life. You literally cannot take a bad picture here.” – Kiersten Rich, TheBlondeAbroad

South Africa

https://www.instagram.com/p/BA7RcitAxQH/

 Here’s another one of the new 7 Wonders of Nature; Table Mountain in South Africa!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BNh1bmPhhlJ/

“A friend took this photo of me in Golden Gate Highlands park in South Africa. Nobody else was on the trail except for some kudu, plus the zebra and wildebeest my friend and I saw on the drive in. I couldn’t believe my eyes seeing those animals for the first time in my life, and getting a view like this all to ourselves that gorgeous summer day. ” – Kristin Addis, BeMyTravelMuse

Maldives

https://www.instagram.com/p/BJnwVJngaHg/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

I mean…it’s the Maldives. You literally can’t take a bad picture there. It’s the definition of Instagramable. But before you go thinking it’s impossibly expensive to go there, just know that this photo was taken on a local island that costed $2 to get to by ferry, and $40 a night to stay at a local Inn.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BJc_UpCAYv7/?taken-by=mylifesatravelmovie

Canada

https://www.instagram.com/p/BMFl4K8lvhY/

“Kayak in the summer and ice skate in the winter, Lake Louise is the epicenter of Banff National Park. Pines and peaks frame the Lake Louise Ski Resort, amongst shopping, hikes and drive-up view points.” Steph Be, TravelBreak

“Thirty minutes from Banff, the Johnston Creek trail weaves together the Johnston Canyon cascade and the Lower Falls in Johnston Canyon. About a thirty minute walk each way, you can easily reach the lower falls.” Steph Be, TravelBreak

Bonus *Italy*

Italy doesn’t get as much recognition as it deserves, so I decided to add it to the list because I just couldn’t resist some of my favorite Instagram photos from there. From the Italian Riviera city of Cinque Terre, to the jaw-dropping mountains of South Tyrol and let’s not forget the canals of Venice, or the World Wonder, the Colosseum!

https://www.instagram.com/p/BHkDDUuB9K2/

“Lago di Braies in South Tyrol, Italy, is one of the most stunning lakes I’ve seen due to that gorgeous green water, the Alpine mountains surrounding it, and the mystical fog that tends to hang on the mountain tops. This unique, partially German-speaking part of Italy keeps a piece of my heart.” – Kristin Addis, BeMyTravelMuse

https://www.instagram.com/p/BL6UGa6htRY/

“The architecture in Italy is so diverse and unique from region to region but quaint homes, pops of color and attractive building facades remain consistent across the country and are what keeps me coming back every year.” – Jacklyn Shields, GetLostWithJackie

  • I've been waiting 2 years for this adventure in Pakistan, so after an 18 hour journey to get here, I hit the ground running! Sundays are mellow and a lot less crowded, so I got a relatively chill stroll through the Kotwali Wala Bazar, where I stopped for chai, bought too many pairs of shoes and bangles, and a free hand stamp henna! Then it was off to the famous Haveli rooftop restaurant in a former mansion overlooking the mosque and other religious sites, followed by another chai, a stop at the pharmacy in the dodgier area (picked up a cold in between trips), and finally back to a 5 star hotel i found for just $65 per night! Absolutely loving it so far, and I'm so grateful for my hosts who have been so patient with my constant travel changes and made up itineraries! Cannot wait to come back here with a group already, and i haven't even gotten to the mountains yet!!! I'm going to attempt daily posts, so please be sure to follow along if you're interested in seeing more! Also yes, so far I feel safe here as a solo female travelers, but let's see how it is on a crowded weekday and after that lovely little mountain flight to Skardu! Anyone have Pakistan on their bucketlist??
  • Postcards from solo travels in Lahore, Pakistan 💖 It's only day 2 and I'm already enchanted! This is the kind of destination that explorers and curious-minds fall in love with! Many people have asked if I feel scared or tell me to be careful, and I truly appreciate the concern! I probably wouldnt have traveled here alone if i didnt have 12 years of solo travel experience, and maybe that's why the universe led me here now, but it has felt safe, and I always travel with extreme caution, awareness, and vigilance, and i recommend the same to everyone anywhere you go! So far I've been treated with kindness and respect, and have gotten a lot of love from all of you proud Pakistanis on here, and I thank you so much for that! Now about these beautiful places! I had dejavu in Lahore, recognizing the style of the mosques from those I've seen so many times in India, and then I got a nice history and geography lesson to learn that it's because both countries were all once ruled by the same Moghul empire, which is where this architecture comes from, and why it may remind some of you of the Taj Mahal! The red structure is the Badshahi Mosque, and the last photo is a sneak peak of the ornate Wazir Khan Mosque! The photo with the Pakistani family is probably my favorite - they asked me for a photo, so I asked for one as well! Which is your favorite photo? Also for anyone wondering who is taking the photos, I'm here as part of a campaign with @destinationpakistan, and my guide this day @alpinepakistan was kind enough to be a human tripod! I'll definitely be adding Pakistan to @mylifesatraveltribe group adventures lineup (follow there for updates about it) but for anyone wanting to go solo, check them out and mention me if you'd like a similar itinerary/style, bc i definitely adjusted mine a lot! 😂 ------- For any new friends here -- hi! I'm Alyssa Ramos, a Cuban American woman and one of the first original solo female travel blogger/influencers, and a pioneer of the creator industry and influencer-hosted group trips! I've been traveling continuously for 12 years across 151 countries so far, and all 7 continents! Thanks for joining the adventure!

  • Finally beat the budget airlines game!! This is for everyone who has ever gotten excited for a $20 flight in the EU, only to end up paying double for even a carryon! [Comment “travel” and I’ll DM you the link to my packing tutorial and all of these products!] For everyone who has tried to layer on as much as possible when they’re weighing bags, and who has had a mini melt down when they ask to place your bag in the measuring bin! I present to you, my top travel packing hacks as a full time travel professional: 1. Travel compression bags (now with portable pump) 2. Foldable toiletry bag with bare minimum necessities 3. Bags that sneakily expand 4. Convertible shoes This is all I packed for a 6 day trip to Venice, Mallorca, and a black tie wedding in Alicante! And if I can do it, so can you, becaaauussee I’m a former live-out-of-giant-suitcase gal from my decade as a nomad, but now with a home base in Italy (and Mexico), I’ve adapted to “bring as little as possible since you go back home”, both for convenience and to avoid thousands of dollars in baggage fees each year! Do you think you could manage with a personal item only?? Are you a checked bag person or carry on only?
  • T-minus 2 weeks till I return to the ‘Stan’s of Central Asia, but instead of solo, this time with 16 brave adventurous souls from our Travel Tribe Group Adventures Community! After exploring and navigating logistics alone, I’ve put together a custom, logistically-chaotic, yet adventure packed, luxe-comfort route and itinerary that has probably been one of the most difficult to coordinate for a group! 😁😂 Manifesting a smooth and safe journey for us all! Including my little pre-adventure in the mountains of Pakistan, and hopefully a quick trip to Azerbaijan beforehand! Our 2027 Fall Stan’s trip is sold out with waitlist available and we are working on adding another trip in the Spring! Be sure to follow @mylifesatraveltribe and fill out the form on the bio to get notified! Anyone wanna come??

Use “TRAVELMOVIE15” for an extra 15% off! How do you stay connected abroad?
  • Traveling was not a possibility for me when I was younger, yet now I’ve reached my 150th country (out of the 197 list which includes Kosovo)!! It has taken me 12 years, I’ve done most of them solo, and many have been collaborations that I received or pitched, but anything else, including most flights was solely paid for by myself, and here’s how I did it: (But first! Comment “TRAVEL” and I’ll send you links to my tips for making money while traveling, how to play flight roulette, and also this Balkans roadtrip itinerary!) 14 years ago - I started my blog but it didn’t make much money for a couple years. I used my only money and a credit card to take my first trip. I was one of the first people to pitch the concept of “free trips in exchange for social media posts” and I sent hundreds of them, always landing at least one, but there was still so much to see! With the money I earned from my blog, paid posts, and my writing for other platforms, I’d go travel but I’d play what I called “flight roulette”, where I pick “anywhere” as the destination, and choose the cheapest flight to somewhere I hadn’t been yet! As my business grew, I needed to repeat many countries each time year, and now I still travel to an average of 25 countries per year as a traveler-by-trade (influencer/entrepreneur), with the goal of 5-10 new ones each year. I never thought I’d reach all 197 countries…but now that there’s only 47 left…do I attempt it?!?! You can see all the countries I’ve been to and written about on my blog using the clickable map on the home page of mylifesamovie.com, or the menu that’s categorized by destination! As for making money to travel - I have a lot of posts on that and also a course, which teaches techniques for everyone, not just those wanting to be a creator! And for anyone who DOES want to be a creator or group trip host — my biggest advice is to find a niche personal to you, find your specific audience who can relate, and don’t just copy other people’s techniques, create new ones and stand out! Originality is admirable!! 😁 Thank you everyone who has stayed on this looonnggg journey with me! I can’t
  • Haters gunna hate, trolls gunna troll, and adventurers gunna adventure.

  • The only reasons you should NOT get an eSIM are if you enjoy searching for wifi, paying more for roaming, or you really want to disconnect 😜 But if you want to make your trip easier, just download an app like @alosim_app and get an affordable data plan, install it in seconds, and then it'll activate as soon as you arrive!

I had dejavu in Lahore, recognizing the style of the mosques from those I've seen so many times in India, and then I got a nice history and geography lesson to learn that it's because both countries were all once ruled by the same Moghul empire, which is where this architecture comes from, and why it may remind some of you of the Taj Mahal! The red structure is the Badshahi Mosque, and the last photo is a sneak peak of the ornate Wazir Khan Mosque! The photo with the Pakistani family is probably my favorite - they asked me for a photo, so I asked for one as well! Which is your favorite photo? Also for anyone wondering who is taking the photos, I'm here as part of a campaign with @destinationpakistan, and my guide this day @alpinepakistan was kind enough to be a human tripod! I'll definitely be adding Pakistan to @mylifesatraveltribe group adventures lineup (follow there for updates about it) but for anyone wanting to go solo, check them out and mention me if you'd like a similar itinerary/style, bc i definitely adjusted mine a lot! 😂 ------- For any new friends here -- hi! I'm Alyssa Ramos, a Cuban American woman and one of the first original solo female travel blogger/influencers, and a pioneer of the creator industry and influencer-hosted group trips! I've been traveling continuously for 12 years across 151 countries so far, and all 7 continents! Thanks for joining the adventure!
Postcards from solo travels in Lahore, Pakistan 💖 It's only day 2 and I'm already enchanted! This is the kind of destination that explorers and curious-minds fall in love with!

I've been waiting 2 years for this adventure in Pakistan, so after an 18 hour journey to get here, I hit the ground running! Sundays are mellow and a lot less crowded, so I got a relatively chill stroll through the Kotwali Wala Bazar, where I stopped for chai, bought too many pairs of shoes and bangles, and a free hand stamp henna! Then it was off to the famous Haveli rooftop restaurant in a former mansion overlooking the mosque and other religious sites, followed by another chai, a stop at the pharmacy in the dodgier area (picked up a cold in between trips), and finally back to a 5 star hotel i found for just $65 per night! Absolutely loving it so far, and I'm so grateful for my hosts @destinationpakistan who have been so patient with my constant travel changes and made up itineraries! Cannot wait to come back here with a group already, and i haven't even gotten to the mountains yet!!! I'm going to attempt daily posts, so please be sure to follow along if you're interested in seeing more! Also yes, so far I feel safe here as a solo female travelers, but let's see how it is on a crowded Monday and after that lovely little mountain flight on Tuesday! Anyone have Pakistan on their bucketlist??

Finally beat the budget airlines game!! This is for everyone who has ever gotten excited for a $20 flight in the EU, only to end up paying double for even a carryon! [Comment “travel” and I’ll DM you the link to my packing tutorial and all of these products!] For everyone who has tried to layer on as much as possible when they’re weighing bags, and who has had a mini melt down when they ask to place your bag in the measuring bin! I present to you, my top travel packing hacks as a full time travel professional: 1. Travel compression bags (now with portable pump) 2. Foldable toiletry bag with bare minimum necessities 3. Bags that sneakily expand 4. Convertible shoes This is all I packed for a 6 day trip to Venice, Mallorca, and a black tie wedding in Alicante! And if I can do it, so can you, becaaauussee I’m a former live-out-of-giant-suitcase gal from my decade as a nomad, but now with a home base in Italy (and Mexico), I’ve adapted to “bring as little as possible since you go back home”, both for convenience and to avoid thousands of dollars in baggage fees each year! Do you think you could manage with a personal item only?? Are you a checked bag person or carry on only?

T-minus 2 weeks till I return to the ‘Stan’s of Central Asia, but instead of solo, this time with 16 brave adventurous souls from our Travel Tribe Group Adventures Community! After exploring and navigating logistics alone, I’ve put together a custom, logistically-chaotic, yet adventure packed, luxe-comfort route and itinerary that has probably been one of the most difficult to coordinate for a group! 😁😂 Manifesting a smooth and safe journey for us all! Including my little pre-adventure in the mountains of Pakistan, and hopefully a quick trip to Azerbaijan beforehand! Our 2027 Fall Stan’s trip is sold out with waitlist available and we are working on adding another trip in the Spring! Be sure to follow @mylifesatraveltribe and fill out the form on the bio to get notified! Anyone wanna come??

The only times you don’t need an eSIM while traveling are when you literally cannot be holding a phone 😂 For all other times, easily download an eSIM like AloSIM which are really affordable at just a few dollars per day or less versus the typical $10 for international roaming! Use “TRAVELMOVIE15” for an extra 15% off! How do you stay connected abroad?

Traveling was not a possibility for me when I was younger, yet now I’ve reached my 150th country (out of the 197 list which includes Kosovo)!! It has taken me 12 years, I’ve done most of them solo, and many have been collaborations that I received or pitched, but anything else, including most flights was solely paid for by myself, and here’s how I did it: (But first! Comment “TRAVEL” and I’ll send you links to my tips for making money while traveling, how to play flight roulette, and also this Balkans roadtrip itinerary!) 14 years ago - I started my blog but it didn’t make much money for a couple years. I used my only money and a credit card to take my first trip. I was one of the first people to pitch the concept of “free trips in exchange for social media posts” and I sent hundreds of them, always landing at least one, but there was still so much to see! With the money I earned from my blog, paid posts, and my writing for other platforms, I’d go travel but I’d play what I called “flight roulette”, where I pick “anywhere” as the destination, and choose the cheapest flight to somewhere I hadn’t been yet! As my business grew, I needed to repeat many countries each time year, and now I still travel to an average of 25 countries per year as a traveler-by-trade (influencer/entrepreneur), with the goal of 5-10 new ones each year. I never thought I’d reach all 197 countries…but now that there’s only 47 left…do I attempt it?!?! You can see all the countries I’ve been to and written about on my blog using the clickable map on the home page of mylifesamovie.com, or the menu that’s categorized by destination! As for making money to travel - I have a lot of posts on that and also a course, which teaches techniques for everyone, not just those wanting to be a creator! And for anyone who DOES want to be a creator or group trip host — my biggest advice is to find a niche personal to you, find your specific audience who can relate, and don’t just copy other people’s techniques, create new ones and stand out! Originality is admirable!! 😁 Thank you everyone who has stayed on this looonnggg journey with me! I can’t

Haters gunna hate, trolls gunna troll, and adventurers gunna adventure.

Also, this is why we require liability waivers on our group trips 🤪😬 however this activity was very well coordinated, had 4 professional guides and safety guards, and is a well-known activity in Victoria Falls! Follow @mylifesatravelmovie (one of the world’s most experienced solo female travelers) for extreme adventures and unique experiences in over 150 countries, and @mylifesatraveltribe to join on one of the adventures!

The only reasons you should NOT get an eSIM are if you enjoy searching for wifi, paying more for roaming, or you really want to disconnect 😜 But if you want to make your trip easier, just download an app like @alosim_app and get an affordable data plan, install it in seconds, and then it'll activate as soon as you arrive! No sketchy airport wifi required. Comment "esim" and I'll send you my step by step guide for how to use one, and you can also use TRAVELMOVIE for an extra discount! Note: your phone must be unlocked to use an eSIM!
