No matter where you're traveling in the world, you'll want to take some of those memories back with you. And if you love capturing them on Instagram , you're in luck. Condé Nast Traveller India spoke to some of the best travel creators in South Asia—including Larissa D’sa , Wander with Sky’s Aakash Malhotra , Savi and Vid of Bruised Passports, Siddhartha Joshi , and Revati and Charles Victor of Different Doors—for their tips on creating travel Reels for Instagram and putting your best foot forward on the Explore page. Here is your ultimate guide to making the next viral travel Reel.

How do you start making a travel Reel for Instagram?

Malhotra begins with a clear-cut plan when making a Reel. “When crafting a compelling travel Reel, there are five key principles to bear in mind,” he says. “Prioritize high-quality footage and unique perspectives. Weave a narrative: Keep it personal and authentic. Emotions over beauty: Capture the essence of the locale. Audio is king: Choose complementary soundtracks. And lastly, timing matters: Share high-resolution content within the optimal timeframe.”

Savi and Vid stress that the video needs to be representative of the experience you are having or want viewers to have: “Be it a place you’re traveling to or somewhere you’re dining ! It needs to be impactful. If you can capture the audience within the first half, then that’s a sure-shot winner. Trending music is a no-brainer.”

For D’sa, it needs to feel authentic and real. “I have to keep it authentic, else it's not me,” she says. “Going viral should never be the reason to make a Reel. When you are truly enjoying yourself in a video, it shows. And that joy is infectious. Even though the quality of the video is of utmost importance, having fun and looking beyond trends is the key.”

Revati and Charles suggest being clear on what you are trying to communicate. “Some useful information ? A beautiful view? It’s then easier to make decisions while shooting, rather than ending up with a lot of footage that you don’t really like or can use.” They also recommend being the face of your Reel. “Don’t be afraid or shy to get in front of the camera! And talk. People love listening to people and seeing their faces to be able to put a face to the voice.”

Instagram content

This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

What equipment do you use to make a travel Reel?

“When it comes to crafting cinematic Reels, my go-to gear includes the iPhone 14 Pro,” says Malhotra. However, he also relies on a versatile array of equipment to elevate his content. “I use the Sony Alpha ZV-E1 for vlogs, accompanied by a selection of lenses tailored to specific needs. The DJI Mavic 3 takes care of breathtaking aerial shots, while the DJI Avata provides wide-angle drone shots. In addition, my trusty GoPro HERO 12 swoops in to capture all the action.”

D’sa says, “95% of my Reels are shot on camera. But an iPhone camera is good enough to start.” While Savi and Vid use a full-frame camera, their phones, and a tripod to make their Reels with a multi-camera setup. Joshi also uses his iPhone camera to film most videos.

For Revati and Charles, it depends on the situation at hand. “Our trusted Sony a7R III camera is for when we need stellar footage." An iPhone camera works for easy shots; a Hollyland Lark Wireless Microphone for clear voice-overs, and to talk over distances.

Malhotra says, “If you're embarking on your journey as a travel Reel creator on Instagram, you'll be pleased to know that an iPhone is your all-in-one solution. In fact, it's the only equipment I believe you truly need.” Revati and Charles add, “The best camera is the one you already have and know how to use ! It’s simple, shoots some great footage and doesn’t have a steep learning curve. There are people who’ve shot such fabulous films with just their phones!”

Savi and Vid suggest you add a portable ring light to your kit to make closeup shots look instantly better.

Which apps or software do you use to edit videos?

“To fine-tune my masterpieces, I turn to a variety of editing tools. On my laptop, I rely on Final Cut Pro for comprehensive edits. When on the move, VN Video Editor is my choice for mobile editing, and I also harness the native Instagram Reels tab for those final touches,” says Malhotra.

Joshi also suggests the VN Video Editor app for edits on the go: “For those just starting out, simplicity is the key to success. You can accomplish most of your edits using the Instagram app itself. Remember, consistency is the linchpin of growth. Begin there, and venture into more advanced editing techniques as you go.”

For Savi and Vid, Adobe Premiere Pro takes the cake. “I enjoy playing around with fonts, grading, and colors. There are countless phone-friendly apps like InShot and Filmm that are great for beginners or for established creators to edit on the go.” D’sa uses Premiere Pro on her laptop too, but she prefers InShot for on-phone editing. “Though it might sound time-consuming, I would always recommend learning desktop-based software before one on a phone. That truly makes learning the process on the phone quicker. I personally started with Adobe Premiere on my laptop, but there is DaVinci Resolve , which is arguably the best and has a free version too.”

Revati and Charles use a MacBook Pro to edit. “It helps to have an SSD drive and a large-capacity Drobo to archive can save and access all the footage for later use. Of course, sometimes it’s as simple as shooting with your phone and editing on it, either with templates or with editing apps like VLLO . The edit must roughly be in your head before you shoot. Our 35-odd years of collective experience in shooting commercial films have etched that in our minds. Take people through a journey or discovery. Every piece of content is a story, even just info-dispensing ones! As a process, do a rough lineup, without worrying about the exact points you want to cut. If it makes sense, then begin cutting precisely. Walk away from it for a bit, and you will often return with great ideas. If you have a voice-over, having that in place with your rough cut will tell you whether you need fewer or more words. The superimposed text should be limited to just the few things you want to emphasize.”

What’s the key to a catchy caption on Instagram?

“Try to be unique with your words, and don’t be afraid to make it emotional. That’s when you will be able to create an interesting caption that connects with your audience,” says D’sa. While Joshi says, “Treat each reel differently. Ideally, keep it short, but in some cases, you might need to add more information in the description that wasn't in the reel, or cue to a bigger story.”

Savi and Vid aren’t afraid to keep their captions bulky: “We’ve always been storytellers, so we love writing long and meaningful captions. I would say one should go with their instinct while penning captions. If you enjoy short and impactful captions, go the one-line route! But if words give you joy or you have valuable information to share, write a lengthy descriptive one.”

“Don’t forget to provide any context or background info that you couldn’t add in the reel,” say Revati and Charles. “Ask a question—it’s great to get more engagement and comments. Write in your own voice, and make sure you don’t use phrases that you’d never utter. Use hashtags and keywords for added discoverability, and put relevant information in (cost, location, timings, etc). Lastly, since it’s happened to us, please don’t copy someone else’s caption!”

Malhotra adds, “Crafting an engaging caption is an art in itself. Here's the secret: Keep it concise and relatable. Always remember, that your caption serves as the second point of engagement. This means that if someone enjoys what they see in your reel, they'll be inclined to delve deeper into your caption. So, make your caption an extension of the story your video tells.”

What shouldn't you do when making travel videos?

“Make sure your content isn’t being uploaded in low-resolution. Remember that timing is everything. Don't post when your potential audience is catching the z's and try avoiding non-trending audios,” says Malhotra.

Savi and Vid suggest that you do not “overdo the filters and colors, as overly processed reels tend not to do well. Avoid too much text [on the video itself]. It gets tough to read and people love watching and listening more than reading. And don’t just copy trends mindlessly. If it’s you, then go for it.”

Joshi says, “Copying someone else’s style might work for a while, but you need to develop your own aesthetic. We personally feel there are no strict no's, except reels promoting irresponsible behavior that can cause societal harm, such as littering in public places, ignoring driving rules to film sensational content, or reinforcing sexist stereotypes,” say Savi and Vid.

Revati and Charles add, “Just post. Don’t wait to gold-plate it. The more you do it, the better you’ll get. Don’t worry so much about what people are going to think or how you look. You’re forgotten at the start of the next reel!”

15 Instagram Reels Caption Ideas For Travel Videos

POV: You booked that flight.

Your perfectly planned vacation outfits are coming to life at your destination, and you’re getting fire footage that you can’t wait to share with your followers — only, caption got your tongue. The combination of jet-lag and margarita brain is making it very hard for you to come up with something witty or meaningful to say about your travels, which is really holding up your posting game. Instagram Reels is a great landing place for travel footage , because it’s more permanent than Stories, but won’t clog up your main grid. If you’re feeling particularly sentimental about your trip and want to save and share as much of it as possible, creating a scrapbook via 60-second Reels will give you something pretty special to look back at. The best Instagram Reels captions for travel will complement your sun-dappled # vacationgrams and leave your followers intrigued to keep watching.

If you have the time and mental clarity to opt for a lengthy, personal caption, detailing special moments or realizations you’ve had on your trip, power to you. But if your video speaks for itself and doesn’t need much context — save maybe a location pin or hashtag — you can get away with a generalized caption that lets people know what when they click play they’re going to get a taste of your trip . Here are some captions that will help your vacation stand out on Instagram Reels.

1. Greetings from...

If your video footage is basically a postcard, insert your location into this simple caption for a straightforward approach.

2. An upgraded view

When you’re sharing a particularly epic view — a summit at sunrise, a candy-colored beach sunset, a fairytale garden scene — this caption is perfectly understated, and yet suspenseful.

3. Roll the tapes

Finally edited together all of the best shots from your big trip? Your followers have been waiting for that vacation content, give them what they want!

4. Out of Office

If you’ve escaped corporate life for a bit and found yourself in some whimsical treehouse or beach hut, this caption will serve as a cheeky contrast from your typical florescent-lit content.

5. Sea you soon

View on Instagram

A little beach pun never hurt anyone.

6. Vacation mode: Activated

Once you get to your destination, unpack and slip on a robe or fill up the hotel tub with too many bubbles, you’re officially on vacation time.

7. On the road again

When you’re road tripping, this caption lets people know what you’re doing, without giving away too much — they’ll have to click play to learn more.

8. Eating my way through...

Insert your destination into the caption to share drool-worthy footage of a table with too many plates, or a montage of your favorite vacation meals.

9. Drinking my way through...

Did you just so happen to capture enough cheersing to create a montage? Insert the name of your destination into the title to show your followers what boozing in this destination looks like.

10. Catch flights, not feelings

Vacationing your way through a break up? This independent caption says a lot, without saying too much.

11. I want to live in this moment forever

That one travel video that you can’t stop rewatching because it makes you so happy deserves a caption this sappy.

12. Cabin life

For footage of actual cabin life, or very fancy life, if you’re partial to wit.

13. POV: You booked that flight.

A fast-paced clip montage of your trip’s highlights will inspire your friends and followers to do as the caption says.

14. Chasing sunsets

Did you just get back from your trip and realize that 90% of your videos are sunsets? No problem, lean into the theme.

The Gen Z word for “memories” is somehow a less cheesy option for a collection of highlights from your trip with no specific theme or order.

Reel in the Views: 5 Tips For Creating Engaging Instagram Travel Reels

Updated January 25, 2024

Most likely you’ve done some experimenting with Instagram Reels, and maybe even integrated them as a regular part of your Instagram strategy.

But have you noticed lately that your Instagram Reels get less views and engagement than they did a few months ago?

While I never recommend using social media as a main way to build your business for this very reason, social media can be a valuable way to grow your email list and provide social proof for your business.

That means having a robust social media presence is definitely worthwhile.

So, while posting an Instagram Reel or two isn't the surefire way to grow your audience that it used to be, there are still ways to create engaging content to attract more people to your travel accounts.

And you don't need to be a film director to make a splash with your video content. It's all about capturing the essence of travel – the sights, the sounds, the vibes – in a way that's authentic, engaging, and yes, a little bit fun.

So, whether you're a seasoned travel reels creator or just dipping your toes into the world of travel marketing, get ready to 'reel' in your audience with the right combination of creativity, inspiration, and strategy.

Tip 1: Craft a narrative with visual storytelling

When it comes to creating travel reels for your Instagram account, think of yourself as a storyteller.

The key? Crafting a narrative that transports your followers from their couches straight to the heart of your destination.

Keep in mind that not every reel or social media post needs to tell a story. A picture, after all, is worth a thousand words, and a great travel video can be worth a thousand pictures. Mix it up a bit by using both single-shot reels and combining multiple short video clips into a single reel.

Start with a Bang:  Every great story has a captivating beginning. Kick off your travel reel with something that grabs attention – a breathtaking view, a lively local festival, or maybe a tantalizing local dish.

This is your hook, your “hero shot”, the “wow” moment that makes viewers want to keep watching.

The Heart of the Story:  The middle of your reel is where the magic happens. This is where you unfold the story of your destination. Show clips of bustling markets, the serene sunsets, the laughter of locals, or the clink of coffee cups at a quaint café.

It's not just about showing places; it's about sharing experiences. Let your followers really feel the vibe of the place.

End with a Memory:  As all good things must come to an end, so should your travel reel. Conclude with something memorable – it could be serene landscapes, a peaceful night view, or even a teaser of what's to come next.

Leave your followers with a lingering sense of wonder, an invitation to explore more, both in their imaginations and, hopefully, in reality too.

Remember, reels can be short stories – and every frame counts. Your goal is to create a narrative that not only showcases a destination's beauty but also tells a story that resonates with your audience.

Tip 2: Use eye-catching visuals

High-quality visuals in travel reels are like the secret sauce that can turn a good story into an unforgettable one.

It's not just about finding pretty places. It's about capturing them in a way that feels authentic and mesmerizing.

Quality Over Quantity:  First things first, focus on clarity and quality. A shaky, blurred video of the Eiffel Tower at sunset? A big no-no.

Invest in a good stabilizer or tripod for your phone or camera. Clear, stable footage is more than just pleasing to the eye; it's a nod to your professionalism.

Find Your Angle:  Sometimes it's all about perspective. That hidden alley adorned with street art, the local market bustling with life, the silhouette of a city skyline at dusk – these are the scenes that tell a story.

Experiment with different angles and viewpoints to give your audience a fresh take on familiar sights.

Lighting is Everything:  Good lighting can be the difference between a mediocre shot and a masterpiece. The golden hour – just after sunrise or before sunset – is your friend. It's nature's filter, casting a warm, soft light that can make any scene look magical.

Authenticity is Key:  Yes, we all love those postcard-perfect shots, but realness resonates. Include the unexpected – the hustle and bustle, the quiet moments, the laughter and chatter. Show the destination as it is, in all its glory and imperfection.

Edit with a Light Touch:  When it comes to editing video, less is often more. Enhance your visuals with a video editor to bring out their best, but avoid overdoing it. Let the natural beauty of your scenes shine through.

Keep transitions simple and functional unless you're going for a full, epic cinematic approach.

The goal is to create a visual journey so compelling that your viewers can almost feel the breeze on their faces or smell the street food.

Tip 3: Embrace local flavors and showcase unique experiences

When it comes to travel reels, it’s all about capturing the essence of a place – its culture, people, and unique experiences.

This is where your reel transforms from a visual journey to an immersive cultural experience that highlights a travel destination.

Highlight local culture:  Let your reel showcase the vibrant tapestry of local culture. From traditional dances on cobblestone streets to artisans crafting wares using age-old techniques, these moments capture the authentic travel experience your audience craves.

Embrace authentic sounds:  Music is the universal language, and every destination has its own melody. Incorporate a trending song or audio clip into your reel that sets the mood and transports viewers straight into the heart of the destination. Make sure the audio you select complements the visuals instead of competing with them.

Food is a feast for the eyes:  Food is more than sustenance; it's a cultural journey. Showcase the local cuisine in all its glory – from steaming street food to exquisite local delicacies. Let viewers almost taste the flavors through their screens. Remember, food is not just about eating; it's about the experience, the preparation, the joy of sharing.

Capture customs and traditions:  Every place has its unique customs and traditions. Share these special moments – be it a local festival, a traditional holiday, or a daily ritual. These experiences offer a genuine glimpse into the local way of life and add depth to your reel.

Engage with locals:  Interaction with locals can add an authentic voice to your reel. A smile, a greeting, a shared moment – these are the encounters that bring warmth and authenticity to your travel reel.

Tip 4: Engage and connect by inviting interaction

Creating a great travel reel isn’t just about showcasing stunning destinations; it's about creating a two-way street of interaction with your audience.

Ask a question:  Questions are the simplest yet most effective way to spark engagement. At the end of your reel or in the caption, include a question related to your content. "Have you ever visited this beach?" or "What's your favorite local dish?"

It doesn’t work every time, but questions can spark comments, interaction, and ultimately get your travel reel seen by more people.

Include a call to action:  A call to action (CTA) is your cue to the audience to take the next step. It can be as simple as "Follow us for more adventures" or "Tag a friend who would love this."

If a reel goes along with a blog post on your website, use a CTA to drive people to your travel blog.

Thing of CTAs on your Instagram posts as a gentle nudge to get viewers to engage more deeply with your content.

Cross-post in your Instagram Story:  Don't let your content live in isolation. Cross-post between Reels and Stories to maximize reach and interaction.

Use Instagram Stories to highlight a reel. You can also create a poll or quiz that complements your reel. It's not just fun and interactive, it's an excellent way to understand your audience's preferences and tailor your content accordingly.

Respond, relate, repeat:  Engagement is a two-way street. When your audience takes the time to comment, make sure to respond. This helps build a community around your content and makes your audience feel heard and valued.

Also make sure you spend time searching for and engaging with other people’s content as well. It's important to give as much (or more) than you'd like to receive, and the Instagram algorithm seems to lean heavily toward rewarding accounts that spend a lot of time engaging with others.

By actively inviting interaction and engaging with your audience, you're not just creating content, you're fostering a community. This approach both extends the reach of your travel reels and builds a loyal audience that is more likely to engage with and share new posts.

Tip 5: Build a consistent Instagram Reels strategy

In the ever-evolving world of Instagram, one rule remains unchanged: consistency is vital. Consistent posting keeps your audience engaged, which means the Instagram algorithm is more likely to show them your new content.

Here are a few ways to help maintain a consistent posting schedule.

Set a realistic schedule:  Start by setting a posting schedule that is realistic and manageable. Whether it's twice a week or every other day, choose a frequency that works for you and your content creation process.

Consistency doesn't mean posting every day; it means posting regularly.

Plan ahead:  The key to consistency is planning. Use a content calendar to map out your reels in advance. This helps in maintaining a steady stream of content and avoids last-minute scrambles.

Consider seasonal themes, upcoming holidays, or local events that align with your travel niche.

Batch create:  Embrace the art of batch creation. Dedicate time to shoot or edit multiple reels. This approach not only saves time but also ensures you have a stash of content ready to go, keeping your posting schedule on track.

Quality over quantity:  While consistency is crucial, never compromise on quality for the sake of quantity. It's better to post less frequently with high-quality content than to post mediocre content just to stick to a schedule.

Monitor and adapt:  Keep an eye on your engagement metrics. What time of day does your audience engage the most? Which reels are getting more traction?

Use these insights to fine-tune your posting schedule and content strategy.

Stay flexible:  While consistency is important, so is flexibility. Be ready to adapt your strategy to new trends, feedback from your audience, or changes in the Instagram algorithm.

Building a consistent reel strategy is not just about keeping up with a schedule. It's about creating a rhythm that resonates with your audience. By staying consistent, you not only maintain visibility but also establish your brand as a reliable source of captivating travel content.

The bottom line: Your Instagram travel reels

As you create your travel reels, experiment with different styles and techniques, and discover what makes your content uniquely you.

Play around with different ideas, and see what resonates with your audience and feels true to your travel brand. Remember, it's about telling your story, your way, and watching as it unfolds into something truly beautiful.

The world is waiting to see your stories unfold.

How to make the best travel reels, according to travel influencers

By Jishnu Bandyopadhyay

No matter where you are in the world, all the magic you’re experiencing must be captured in stunning videos boasting engaging cuts and a story to tell. If you wish to take your IG game to the next level, you’ve landed on the right page. Condé Nast Traveller India spoke to some of the best travel creators, including Larissa D’sa , Wander with Sky’s Aakash Malhotra , Bruised Passports’ Savi and Vid , Siddhartha Joshi , and Different Doors' Revati and Charles Victor , for their tips on putting your best foot forward on the explore page. Here is your ultimate guide to making the next viral travel reel.

Top 10 Travel Video Ideas for TikTok and Instagram Reels

It's not difficult to see why travel video content is so popular on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram. With their short, easily digestible snippets, they make for convenient viewing when you're on the go. Plus, who doesn't love getting a sneak peek into incredible destinations all over the world?

The way we share travel experiences with friends and family has evolved alongside social media platforms. TikTok and Instagram's short video clips are now among the most popular ways to document and share a trip. Use them to highlight some of the most picturesque, unique or unexpected parts of your travels to inspire wanderlust in your followers.

Top 10 Fantastic Travel Video Ideas

If you're looking for creative ways to spruce up your Instagram and TikTok feeds, consider creating a travel video. Shooting and editing a travel video can be a fun way to show off your adventures and share your favorite destinations with your followers.

Use these 10 travel video ideas on your next TikTok videos and Instagram Reels to help get you started, whether you're planning your next vacation or just dreaming about far-away places. Let the creative juices flow and start filming!

Document a Day in Your Life While on Vacation

As you're spending your days lounging on the beach or exploring new cities, documenting those moments can be a fun way to capture your vacation.

If you're traveling with friends or family, include them in your video as much as possible. This will help viewers feel like they're right there with you, experiencing the sights and sounds of your destination. Try to film everything – from waking up in the morning to getting to bed at night. If there's something interesting happening that day, be sure to capture it on camera.

By filming everything from the moment you wake up to when you go to bed, you'll have an amazing compilation of footage. Plus, it's a great way to reflect on your trip once you're back home.

Share Interesting Facts About the Place You're Visiting

Traveling to new places is always an adventure. Every destination has its own unique culture, history, and landscape. There's something strangely intriguing about learning a little bit more about a destination beyond what meets the eye.

For example, making a video of Rome and highlighting the history of how it’s built on seven hills. Or Venice, Italy which is made up of 100 islands. A travel video that talks about cool facts will make it an engaging and enriching experience for the viewer.

Capture Unique and Exciting Activities you Participate in While Traveling

When most people think of traveling, they imagine sightseeing and visiting historical landmarks. But there's so much more to explore. Don't just focus on the sights and sounds of your destination; get creative and make your travel video stand out from the rest by considering incorporating unique and exciting activities you can participate.

Whether it's rafting down a treacherous river or scaling a cliff face, these clips will add an element of excitement and intrigue that will keep viewers engaged.

Film People Enjoying the Local Food and Culture

To spice up your travel videos, consider incorporating some shots of the local food and culture. Anyone who's been to a foreign country can tell you that one of the most enjoyable ways to experience the native culture is by eating the local cuisine. A very easy way to share this cultural experience with others is by creating a TikTok video or Instagram reel featuring local restaurants who serve native dishes.

To all my Anthony Bourdain fans out there, it can also be a lot of fun to explore different culinary traditions. Who knows, you might even find yourself enjoying some unusual dishes. Foodie travel has a loyal following because so many of us like to eat well on vacation. Bon appétit!

Take Drone Footage of Stunning Landscapes or Cityscapes

While there are many different ways to explore new places, nothing quite beats the view from high up in the sky. And thanks to drones, we now have a way to get amazing aerial footage of landscapes and cityscapes like never before.

Drones offer a unique perspective that can turn a mundane travel video into an inspiring work of art. Whether you're looking at snow-capped mountains or the hustle and bustle of a city skyline, drone videos offer a unique perspective on familiar landmarks. From up high, everything looks different — more beautiful, more impressive. It's no wonder that drone videography has become so popular over the last few years.

My best friend is a YouTube content creator and when we travel she packs her travel drone which is very lightweight and compact . I love incorporating her short drone clips into my own videos to make them pop!

Share Your Most Helpful Tips for Traveling on a Budget

Seeing various places and experiencing different cultures is a fascinating way to broaden your horizons. But traveling can also be expensive, so it's critical to make the most of your money while you're on the road.

If you've discovered a clever way to save money on travel, try creating content about it and sharing it with your followers. There’s an entire culture around budget traveling and money saving hacks for frugal and savvy travelers. Make sure to include relevant hashtags such as #budgettravel and #travelhacks.

Viewers Really Love Fall & Holiday Travel

When the summer is over and the fall season begins, there’s a kind of magic in the air. In the autumn months we love everything pumpkin-related, comfy and cozy vibes, sweater weather and of course Halloween. Fall lovers enjoy watching videos with pumpkin patches, fall fashion OOTDs for travel, fall foliage, Halloween destinations and more. See my guide to fall content ideas on the blog . I’ve also created a fall-themed hashtag guide to help your content get discovered by new viewers. Use my recommended tactics to grow your audience.

After Halloween is done, we start with preparations for Thanksgiving which is the beginning of the holiday season. Because so many people have a break from school and work, the holiday season can be a popular travel time. Not to mention that there’s so many sought after holiday places to travel. The Christmas decor, twinkling lights, jolly music and general merriment of the holidays makes it a memorable time to plan a getaway. Bonus points if you go visit the snow for a white Christmas! See my guide to holiday-themed content on the blog .

Document the Process of Packing for a Trip

People have a fascination with watching videos on how to pack for a trip. They can see what works for others and get ideas for their own packing lists. This is a simple way to avoid packing mistakes and maximize space in your luggage.

Start by making a list of everything you will need and then sorting the items into categories. Remember to pack light — you don't want to be overloaded with bags when you're trying to enjoy your vacation.

This is also a great way to incorporate fashion outfit ideas for specific destinations. Think dresses and swimsuits for a tropical island like Hawaii or sweaters and boots for New York City in the fall .

Travel to Hidden, Under the Radar & Off the Beaten Path Destinations

The problem with popular tourist destinations is that you’ll be dealing with crowds of people and over-priced hotels. There’s a growing trend in travel where adventurers are looking to discover rarely seen places such as abandoned ghost towns , hidden hiking trails and swimming water holes . Because these are usually hard to find or difficult to access places, making videos about your visit can garner the attention of many new curious followers.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Tourism

With sustainability on the top of everyone’s minds, it’s no surprise that eco-friendly tourism is on the rise. Popular hotel booking sites such as Booking.com features hotels that have been awarded the status of “ Travel Sustainable Properties ”. On the left hand side of their website you can see the sustainable hotels filter option .

A fun video idea could be to feature a hotel’s sustainable products and practices, showcasing how they are doing their part to be friendlier to the environment.

repurposing evergreen content

There's something about travel videos that makes people want to hit the road. Whether it's watching someone else explore a new place or getting a sneak peek at its highlights, the video seems to inspire wanderlust in all of us. Maybe we can chalk it up to that old FOMO feeling, but travel videos are a great way to reach new audiences.

On a final note, creating social media videos are a great way to repurpose evergreen content and get the most bang for your buck with the videos and photos that you’ve already taken the time to shoot. If you’ve shot photos and videos from vacations in the past, use creative techniques to make them look fresh and new in a TikTok or Instagram Reel video. I wouldn’t be surprised if you had some hidden gem content buried in your old phones or SD cards. So get started filming today!

Shop Video Filming and Editing Essentials:

Presets for Videos & Photos

Presets are a super helpful editing tool to help you create a consistent look and feel to your photos and videos. Select a preset that matches your brands aesthetics and easily use the same one over and over again in post production. Of all the online marketplaces for editing tools, Etsy has the best and cutest presets available for purchase.

DSLR Mirrorless Digital Camera

I am a loyal Canon photographer and I use my Canon EOS 6D body with a Canon EF 35mm Wide Angle Lens to shoot all my still photos and some videos too. A high quality camera is the best investment I ever made in my content creator career journey.

Foldable Ring Light & Cell Phone Tripod

Having a ring light and cell phone tripod can really increase the quality of your videos by brightening them up and providing better hands-free angles for filming. For travel you want to find tripods that fold-up and are compact to fit easily into your suitcase.

Indian embassy advises Indians to reschedule non-essential travel as UAE reels through historic floods

Due to disruption caused by unprecedented weather conditions in the uae earlier this week, dubai international airport has temporarily limited the number of inbound flights, the advisory said..

The Indian embassy in the UAE on Friday advised the inbound Indian passengers travelling to or transiting through Dubai International Airport to reschedule non-essential travel till operations normalise after the city witnessed unprecedented rains this week.

Dubai International Airport, the world’s busiest for international travel, hoped to be back on a normal schedule within 24 hours.

“Inbound Indian passengers travelling to or transiting through Dubai International Airport are advised to reschedule non-essential travel till operations normalise,” the statement said.

Dubai faces massive clean up after deluge swamps glitzy desert city

DUBAI (Reuters) -Dubai, a city in the desert proud of its modern gloss, faced the towering task on Thursday of clearing its waterclogged roads and drying out flooded homes two days after a record storm saw a year's rain fall in a day.

Dubai International Airport, a major travel hub, struggled to clear a backlog of flights and many roads were still flooded in the aftermath of Tuesday's deluge.

The rains were the heaviest experienced by the United Arab Emirates in the 75 years that records have been kept. They brought much of the country to a standstill and caused significant damage.

Flooding trapped residents in traffic, offices and homes. Many reported leaks at their homes, while footage circulated on social media showed malls overrun with water pouring from roofs.

In Dubai, the UAE's most populous emirate, traffic remained disrupted even as public transportation services resumed.

Street closures, detours and partially submerged roads caused heavy congestion, with some cars driving towards oncoming traffic in effort to avoid flooded areas.

A highway through Dubai was reduced to a single lane in one direction, while the main road that connects Dubai with the capital Abu Dhabi was partially closed in both directions.

"This was like nothing else. It was like an alien invasion," Jonathan Richards, a Dubai resident from Britain told Reuters.

"I woke up the other morning to people in kayaks with pet dogs, pet cats, suitcases all outside my house."

Another resident, Rinku Makhecha, said the rain swamped her freshly renovated house she moved into two weeks ago.

"My entire living room is just like ... all my furniture is floating right now," she said.

Vehicles, including buses, were abandoned on streets and some could be seen submerged in water. In Abu Dhabi, some supermarkets and restaurants faced product shortages, unable to receive deliveries from Dubai.

Dubai airport had yet to resume normal operation after the storm flooded taxiways, forcing flight diversions, delays and cancellations.

Dubai Airports Chief Operating Officer Majed Al Joker told Al Arabiya TV he expected Dubai International Airport to reach 60-70% capacity by the end of Thursday and full operational capacity within 24 hours.

The airport struggled to get food to stranded passengers with nearby roads flooded and overcrowding limited access to those who had confirmed bookings.

RETURNING SUPPLIES

The storm, which hit neighbouring Oman on Sunday, pounded the UAE on Tuesday, with 20 reported dead in Oman and one in the UAE.

While some roadways into hard-hit communities remain flooded, delivery services across Dubai, whose residents are used to ordering everything at the click of a mouse, slowly began returning to the streets.

Rains are rare in the UAE and elsewhere on the Arabian Peninsula, which is typically known for its dry desert climate. Summer air temperatures can soar above 50 degrees Celsius.

Following Tuesday's events, questions were raised whether cloud seeding, a process that the UAE frequently conducts, could have caused the heavy rains.

But climate experts blame global warming for such extreme weather events.

Researchers anticipate that climate change will lead to heightened temperatures, increased humidity and a greater risk of flooding in parts of the Gulf region. Countries like the UAE where there is a lack of drainage infrastructure to cope with heavy rains can suffer the most.

A UAE government agency that oversees cloud seeding - a process of manipulating clouds to increase rainfall - denied conducting any such operations before the storm.

President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan said in a statement he had ordered authorities to assess the damage and provide support to families impacted by the storm.

Dubai's Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum said on X that the safety of citizens, residents and visitors was the utmost priority.

"At a meeting with government officials in Dubai, we set directives to prepare comprehensive plans in response to natural crises' such as the unexpected current weather conditions," he said.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.

CBP officers reel in methamphetamine found in ice chest full of fish

CALEXICO, Calif., — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers from the San Diego Field Office seized several packages of methamphetamine concealed within an ice chest of fish Sunday.

The incident occurred at around 8:39 p.m. at the Calexico West Port of Entry, when CBP officers encountered a 34-year-old man driving a 2021 sedan through the vehicle SENTRI lane. After initial inspection, CBP officers referred the driver and vehicle for further examination.

In the secondary inspection area, a non-intrusive inspection of the vehicle was conducted. CBP officers utilized the port’s imaging system to screen the vehicle and observed irregularities within an ice chest found in the vehicle’s trunk. A CBP K-9 team responded and alerted to the presence of narcotics.

CBP officers discovered and extracted a total of 25 packages from the ice chest. The contents of the packages were tested and identified as methamphetamine with a total weight of 47.13 pounds.

The subject was turned over to the custody of Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) for further investigation. The narcotics and vehicle were seized by CBP officers. 

“Drug traffickers will go to great lengths in attempt to deceive our officers,” said Roque Caza, Calexico Area Port Director. “I’m proud of our highly trained officers working diligently every day to combat these dangerous drugs that have claimed so many lives.”

These seizures are the result of Operation Apollo , a holistic counter-fentanyl effort that began on October 26, 2023 in southern California, and expanded to Arizona on April 10, 2024. Operation Apollo focuses on intelligence collection and partnerships, and utilizes local CBP field assets augmented by federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial partners to boost resources, increase collaboration, and target the smuggling of fentanyl into the United States. 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the comprehensive management, control, and protection of our nation’s borders, combining customs, immigration, border security, and agricultural protection at and between official ports of entry.

NEWS... BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT

Emmerdale legend reels after sudden exit news

Share this with

Jacob Gallagher ( Joe-Warren Plant ) had some exciting news in Emmerdale recently – his application for a six-week placement in Berlin had been successful.

In Tuesday’s (April 16) episode Liam ( Jonny McPherson ) was offering his warm congratulations to the young medical student. ‘You’re going to have the most amazing time,’ he promised.

Victoria ( Isabel Hodgins ) came out of the house at that point and overheard the last bit of the conversation. She wanted to know what the amazing time they were talking about was. Jacob pretended they’d been talking about studying for exams.

Victoria didn’t exactly believe that so she took the opportunity to grill Liam for more information.

Liam is never a great liar, though he did have a decent crack at pretending they’d been talking about an exciting lecture about respiratory care.

Eventually, he admitted they’d been talking about Jacob’s placement – and he soon realised that Victoria knew nothing about it.

She was shocked that Jacob hadn’t said anything and questioned him about it later. He said there was no point telling her because he wasn’t going to go. This obviously puzzled Victoria, who pointed out that it was an amazing, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Jacob said he wanted to continue his training somewhere nearby and that way he wouldn’t have to leave her.

‘It’s only six weeks. You can cope without me for six weeks,’ she reasoned. He replied that he was sure he didn’t want to go.

‘I never want to leave you, Vic,’ he said. They hugged, but Victoria looked troubled. Jacob has already given up a lot for her, as their relationship caused a permanent rift between him and his dad David Metcalfe ( Matthew Wolfenden ).

David and Victoria were previously together for a long time but their relationship fell apart after David lied about a speeding ticket and told the authorities that Victoria had been driving the car.

Despite this David never gave up hope of winning Victoria back, so he was devastated to discover that she’d been secretly seeing his son Jacob behind his back.

He couldn’t cope with the situation and headed for London to see his daughter Amba. Recently Eric Pollard (Chris Chittell) heard that David is planning to stay in London for good.

So for Victoria, hearing that Jacob is intent on missing out on what could be a great career and life opportunity just to stay with her must come with a huge dollop of guilt.

Will she try to persuade Jacob to take the placement after all? Could this whole situation threaten their future as a couple?
