On social media, we're all about showing off the good stuff. Gorgeous vacations, perfect selfies, heartwarming moments – they fill our feeds. It's like everyone's living their best life all the time. But here's the scoop: it's not the whole story. We're only seeing the shiny bits, and that makes us think everyone else's life is all rainbows and unicorns while we're stuck dealing with all the tough stuff.
Ever wondered what goes on behind those picture-perfect travel posts? Well, here's a sneak peek into the unfiltered reality that doesn't always make it onto social media.
It wasn't all smiles. Our second week of traveling we got hit with COVID, spending a week isolated and feeling awful. And that cool tattoo I got? It got infected, turning into a mess of doctor visits and antibiotics.
Then there's the travel chaos. Flights canceled, delays galore (looking at you, United). We found ourselves stuck in a foreign country, reworking plans on the fly.
And let's talk about traveling with a kid with allergies. It's not all smooth sailing, especially in places where language is a barrier. Kudos to those places with allergen info on menus – a lifesaver for families like ours.
Sure, we're photographers, capturing beauty everywhere. But travel, like life, isn't a highlight reel. It's a mix of ups, downs, and everything in between.
In the end, it's the whole journey that matters. The ups, the downs, the mess – they make the adventure real. So, as you check out our pics, remember there's more to the story than meets the eye.
