For years I was inspired to travel by seeing other creators post photos and reels of their adventures on Instagram but fear was holding me back from getting to take my own bucket list trips.        Over the past two years I got involved with a community of travel creators on Instagram and was able to connect by talking with them via direct messages. From there I was encouraged to join a group trip and meet girls who have been traveling the world.       This trip was the first time I had traveled solo internationally. I got to hear stories from other travel creators and from that I was inspired to start traveling and creating content to post on my own Instagram. I wanted to post my travel experiences to inspire others to go on their next adventure in the same way that I had been inspired.      My community always makes me smile - especially when I receive comments that I was the reason someone took a trip. Before I was held back by thinking that society would judge me for traveling so often. But instead, the community I met and made through Instagram has only pushed me to travel more and I love that I now can inspire others through posting travel reels.
