As frustrating as Instagram is it’s still my favorite social media. It’s fantastic for getting inspiration for upcoming travels and it’s a fantastic outlet for your creativity. I’ve struggled with engagement this year so next year will be all about posting what I want and less about trying to follow the Instagram trends. However, I still love a good year end wrap up so to roundup 2018 I’ve put together a post of my 10 Top Instagram Posts for the year! Check them out below to get a bit of an insight into what worked well for me on Instagram this year and what you guys liked most.
First off we have the stunning treasury in Petra, Jordan! Visiting Petra was incredibly amazing and we woke up super early and were actually the first ones through the gate and approaching the treasury through the canyon is probably a memory I won’t forget for a very long time.
The Jordan posts did well in general and this one of me taking a break while climbing some rocks in the Wadi Rum Desert ranked in the top ten as well! The desert was a very cool experience and we had a ton of fantastic sightseeing opportunities in the desert which I can’t wait to share when I finally catch up on my backlog of blog posts.
Living so close to Niagara Falls is pretty handy for wanting to play tourist. It’s obviously one of the most popular places in Canada and believe it or not, it actually made my top 10 list twice! Look for the second shot further down!
While we didn’t visit Greece in 2018 I did finally start writing some of the posts so I shared a few more pictures from our visit to Meteora. The Meteora Monasteries was one of my favourite parts of our trip to Greece and the friendly cats only made the visit more fun. This beautiful little guy clearly got some love from Instagram!
We started the year in New York City which was my 4th visit to the city yet somehow I had very few picture to show for it! I was definitely trying to remedy that on this particular trip and I had seen a similar shot to this on Instagram before and was dying to recreate it! It’s obviously popular for a reason, it’s hard to argue with that New York skyline!
This is the second Niagara Falls shot I was talking about! I personally think this one got so many likes because it’s quite different from the typical shots you see of Niagara Falls.
This picture is actually one of my own favorites from this year. We had decided to do the hike for the above view of the Treasury regardless of whether we could find the spot for this epic picture or not so actually finding it after like a solid 3 hour hike was super accomplishing. It’s quite an incline and as you can guess it got super hot by the time we reached the top so I felt super accomplished getting this shot!
Another shot of the Meteora Monasteries made the top 10 a well and this time you can see more of the actual monasteries and cliffs!
We finally got to visit Quebec City this year which I’ve been dying to do and one of my favourite areas was the Petit Champlain neighborhood and while heading out of it we came across this beautiful old building that had the benefit of framing the incredibly famous Chateau Frontenac in the back!
Last but certainly not least, my most liked picture of the year was one of me exploring the frozen Tiffany Falls in Hamilton in mid-January last year!
Your photos are always so amazing. Good job, you really capture the magic of these places.
