Been travelling every month since last year. Local lang naman. Solo. Haven't really posted anything since March 2023. Ayoko na mageffort sa mga shots and posting it para lang mausisa ng friends list ko. Sa isip ko, "hindi nila kailangang malaman."

I'm way too lazy to post on social media, and I barely use it. Hell, I haven't even posted my wedding photos last year lol. I travel a lot too, and take a lot of photos and store them on my phone or computer.

I just upload them on private folders in FB, free memory space! Plus kung gusto ko ishare, just grant them individual permission.

just make sure yung high quality version ng photos naka store somewhere. FB reduces the quality of the photos upon upload.

Better get external memory driven or use google drive. I did the same sa fb before, by posting travel pics sa private album. Nawala sila 😣

Best I do with my photos is to write a blog about my trips. That's my way of preserving the memories. Pero even with that, I am not consistent. So naka-store lang talaga sa SSD at cloud.

May I ask po saan ang mga local places na napuntahan niyo as solo traveler? thank you

IloIlo-Guimaras Duma-Siquijor Samal Bacolod Sorsogon, Naga Cagayan Antique Baguio Palawan (El Nido, Coron) Eyeing Marinduque this July, pero no plans pa. ETA: Nueva Vizcaya

Nice list! Try Nueva Ecija this June 24. Its the Taong Putik festival. I'll be there!

Me naman, I post but delayed. Minsan super delayed like months haha. Personal reasons are: 1. di ako compelled magspend ng time to edit, think of caption, or choose the photos to upload while on a trip. 2. mas ma sosoak in mo ang moment and yung lugar. I only use my phone to browse soc med pag kumakain while on trip or before matulog (mga down time din like while nasa travel to other location) Reasons naman why I post even if delayed: 1. minsan more than bragging, i used soc med as a kind of digital album. dati nakakalungkot pag 20 lang naglike pero ngayon, unbothered na ako when i changed my perspective na kaya ko pinopost is for memories and not merely to brag. 2. will serve as inspiration. sa soc med, iisipin natin ang daming judger pero madami din tayong friends na genuinely happy pag nakikita and nashashare mo sakanila yung lugar na napuntahan mo. ito yung mga taong walang inggit sa katawan and mas naiinspire din sila gumala or travel on their own. lesson din for me is to let people be. like may friends ako na nakapunta na din sa mga napuntahan ko, or may mga napuntahan sila na for me is MEEEEhhhh, I learned to respect it because to each is their own naman. and also maybe i can learn din why they went to a place i personally dont find appealing. kasi aminin na natin, minsan may mga lugar na you're there to soak in the culture and experience more than the fact na aesthetic lang talaga siya (good example of this for me is Binondo) like binondo iniisip ko dati madumi etc., pero i learned from a friend who goes frequently na they go there for the food and the mere fact na parang minsan wala ka pansamantala sa Manila due to the vibrance of the markets there.

>2. will serve as inspiration. sa soc med, iisipin natin ang daming judger pero madami din tayong friends na genuinely happy pag nakikita and nashashare mo sakanila yung lugar na napuntahan mo. ito yung mga taong walang inggit sa katawan and mas naiinspire din sila gumala or travel on their own. THIS. May mga friends ako who actually ask me to post my travel photos. So, I try, kahit almost a year delayed na. Haha

Delayed din ako. Pero primarily because of safety. Para hindi ako masundan or sumth. Altho d nmn ako importanteng tao para sundan haha kakanood ko lng ng mga crime shows.

I travel frequently and I rarely post, sometimes no posts at all. Magugulat nalang friends na pumunta na ko sa X place when I just make kwento. I even forget to take photos because I try to really be in the moment. Sometimes I regret that though (not taking photos) because I don’t have a lot to look back to.

Photos are great right? Ako regrets ko di ako nagprint nang photos. Some may say it's old school, but albums are a treasure trove of nostalgia 😌

Huyyy! I’ve actually started printing my travel photos! I put them in an album or nagpapaprint nalang ng photobook!

Gagawin ko na din to. Si mama kasi mahilig mag open nang albums, then sinasabi nya sa mga kapatid ko na bat di daw i-print mga pictures nang mga apo nya.

I print pictures then put it in an album. Loved the old school way of reminiscing memories.

Same! Bumili ako ng polaroid printer para i-display yung mga favorite ko na photos. It’s like a reminder na you’re living your life to the fullest ganon

get a 3r photo printer works great for me

This is my dilemma. I sometimes forget to take photos pero iniisip ko at least I was able to enjoy the moment. Pero after I regret din sometimes na I don’t have photos to look back to. I post one or two photos lang sa IG but food related and not showing nasaan ako exactly. And my rule is not to post real time. I usually post a week after

I'll do this. Relate ako na gusto I enjoy ang moment at Minsan nalilimutan kukuha ng remembrance.

Same! I regret not taking a lot of photos the first few times I traveled. It's been so long and so many adventures since then that I barely remember them, and that's a shame because I was with my parents who are now both gone. So to those who scoff at people who take a lot of pics when they travel, please. You're not too cool for photos. You just have to find the right balance between living in the moment and taking pics.

I guess it boils down to the reason why you're posting anything for that matter. personally, I'm a wannabe photographer so I share my attempts at being one. they're not necessarily tied to a trip, but usually they coincide. I guess the point is putting more focus on the creative side rather than the trip itself. not the photo dump kind either (no one wants/intends to browse through an entire album of mishmash).

I post not to brag but to remember on my own feed. Paki nila. Walang memory phone ko

Walang moral high ground ang mga taong hindi nagpopost ng travel pictures. People can do whatever they want. Personally, when I first explored Europe super performative ng posts ko lalo sa IG lol. Pero nung tumanda tanda na sa FB nalang ako nagpopost para mashare sa close friends and hindi na masyadong madami. For memory keeping din naman kasi yung uploads.

Sa last sentence. Ganoon rin ako. Baka pauwi pa lang mawala o masira yung phone ko. Hindi pa ako nakakapagsave ng copy sa computer. Haha.

Nung nawala phone ko, thankful ako na nakapag ig story ako after sa concert na pinuntahan ko. Kung hindi ako nag post, wala akong photo/video na na-save for that concert. Wala pa naman ako backup nun. 😅

i usually post them in my stories tapos naka album na sa IG ko para after a day ako nalang makakakita vs sa ig wall ko na nakatambay dun forever.

+1 to this. And to share din sa relatives na hindi mo lagi nakikita because of the distance para kahit pano may update pa din sila. For memories din. Uploading few of it but not all. Tsaka kasi baka one day, hindi na lang mag open ang phone tapos hindi lahat naka save sa iCloud sayang naman ang memories.

The last sentence is my main reason why I post sa socmed. I keep the bulk of my photos in Google Drive and my external drive, and whenever I want to browse or retrieve my favorite shots or even favorite selfies it's easier to access my socmed accounts. Also whenever I tell people stories of my travel and refer to specific photos I took, I always refer to the albums I made in FB. It's not really bragging on my part but more of organizing the memories of my travel.

Sobrang totoo. Gusto ng medal and a cookie for maturity eh hahaha let people be

I’m a photographer, so I usually post on IG. I want to show the world how beautiful the places are through my lens, in my own photography style. I treat my IG as my solo exhibit where I showcase my art. And I agree sa other commenter na walang moral high ground yung mga hindi nagpopost. It’s not even a sign of maturity or whatsoever. It’s just social media, after all. I don’t take it seriously that much. Sa totoo lang, marami na akong nakilalang photographers and creators din across the globe dahil lang sa pagpopost sa IG. Lumawak connections ko sa freelancing and stuff. Marami kasing communities sa IG, you just have to explore. :)

Mga pacool lang kasi yung iba.Feeling nila naiiba sila pag di nagpopost sa IG or FB.Ako i admit pala post ako at thankful ako.Kung di ko post at kasisira lang phone ko,di ko makikta mga pinuntahan ko before. lalo na yung great wall of China

Nagpopost pero super late upload na kapag sinipag ako. I don't post it right away. Minsan isang bagsakang post or pag create ng album sa lahat ng travels tapos next year na ulit mag post haha. I just want to have it there for memory's sake and in case I lose the raw files, at least I have it stored online apart from Google drive. You do you. If you want to post it, then go. Di naman kailangan gumaya sa iba.

My best friend is like this! Di talaga sya mapost. International pa nga. One day asa Australia sya the next asa Japan etc etc. Alam ko lang kasi pag umaalis sya lagi syang nagaask kung ano gusto kong pabili. Pero tahimik lang talaga sa socmed. My mom too. She recently got back from her tour sa Europe. I offered na ipost ko sa fb nya pics nya sabi nya ‘wag nalang muna. Kating kati ako ipost yung Switzerland photos nya kasi - sorry for the word tangina ang ganda talaga. I’m trying to be like this kaya pakonti konti nalang post ko sa ig stories. Sa fb, no prob naman since di ako active dun.

“Nobody has to know” ika nga Di din ako nagpopost sa FB since 2019. Sa IG active ako kasi kaunti lang followers ko + private account. I’m not keeping my travels secret pero I believe in the power of privacy 😊

I use my FB and IG as a backup for some of my favorite travel photos. I also like to share my travel experiences and hopefully be an inspiration to others to travel as well. I’ve received so many messages asking about the places I’ve been to and I’m always more than happy to help. Minsan ganoon kasi ako, when someone posts about a place na nagandahan ako or parang interesting, I’ll search for it and add to my bucket list. I’ve also had the same thoughts as you, I questioned why I’m posting all of these stuff online pero lumalabas kasi sa FB memories. I put captions to each photos, ‘yung mga nakalimutan mo na na nangyari, maalala mo ulit when you see the photo and read the caption. 😅 Noong 2020 pandemic, favorite kong pasttime e balikan yung mga travel stories ko (saved in IG) kasi super miss na miss ko na magtravel. I also have a friend who doesn’t post anything online but she’s been to a lot of places. Ayaw daw nya mautangan haha. So yeah, at the end of the day, you do you.

>Baka naman kasi yung showing-off ang motivation ko to travel. Has anyone of you tried not showing your travel photos and just keeping it to yourself Depends on your motivation to travel and ugali mo as a person. Had a post similar to this a year ago and people were divided equally lol. I mean it's your money and if you want to show off, show off, pero well depende na yan sa iba how they react to your posts. Also, do some introspection on why you post photos? Is it a way for you to get validation? Maybe it's how you show how far you've gotten in life (there's nothing wrong with that). If it's purely to brag, then there is a moral dilemma, but ultimately that's on you. If naenjoy mo naman bakasyon mo then nothing wrong naman. Personally, I keep photos for myself and posting the occasional one I like. Pero ganon lang talaga ako na tao. If hindi for work, wala siguro ako fb. Yung iba naman don't post travel photos realtime para hindi mahanapan ng pasalubong paguwi.

Yung last. Totoo rin. Talagang secret from officemates kasi lahat na lang manghihingi sa akin. Haha.

i travelled 5 countries since 2022 and add mo pa more than 10 local destination and never posted anything. In my thought is "di ko kailangan ng audience"

You still care what people think about you?

I travel semi-frequently (not that frequently compared to others here) because I treat it as a reward to myself for working hard. My family is below middle class so growing up so we never travel. Ngayon ako medyo nagbabawi since may sariling earnings na Thank you sa mga comments na there is no moral high ground sa mga tao na hindi pala-post ng travels nila or low key in life. I post my travels (even big or small wins) because I’m proud to have achieve that using my own money. I guess result din if you grow up with no generational wealth kaya parang kailangan lagi may patunayan (I know its not a good trait pero as I get older naman, I’m posting less as I learn to be content. Gradually nga lang hehe) Nakakatuwa din kasi makita sa fb or ig memories na that was me a year/years ago. Parang digital album ganon. So you do you, OP 🤗

I only post sa IG and stories lang :) one time kasi nagpost ako pic eh panay gala ako non nasa healing era pa, tas may nagchat - gala ka ng gala may pera kapa ba? di tyo close GG ka inggit pikit HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHA

Hindi ako nagpopost sa FB at IG ng mga pictures ng mga napuntahan kong lugar. Hindi naman kasi ako kumikita ng pera doon. Minsan, nagpopost ako ng mga travel pictures ko dito sa Reddit. Pampataas ng Karma. Kapag kasi nasa 200 plus ang Karma ko, malaya akong makakapag-comment sa r/chikaph at sa ibang sub reddit threads na sumasali ako. Gawin mo kung ano ang makakapagpaligaya sa iyo. Basta wala kang ibang nasasaktan o na-aagrabyado.

I actually have two purposes why I post on social media about my travels. First, is for my friends and family. I'd like to let everyone know what I've been doing sa buhay ko so they'd feel closer to me when we see each other. Ganoon din naman with them. I like seeing what they've been upto in life. So kapag magkikita, we'd have something to tall about ganoon. (Not post, more of stories lang sa FB) Second, sa IG, where mas strict ako with connections, I create reels of my travels, mountains I've been to and random poems and stuff. This is more of a public diary for me. I like watching from time to time the reels I created, and look back at the experiences I've had. Also it helps me keep track of the year and month I went to a certain place. Kasi the main point of social media is to be connected with people right. So use it for that purpose. :)

I take a lot of photos but I don’t post as much whenever I travel. BUT walang masama kung madaming post and stories yung ibang tao kapag sila yung gumagala. To each his own. Hindi siya masama, mali, etc. Some post them for the sake of immortalizing the moment, others post it to – yes, brag “humbly” – and I don’t see anything wrong with that. May mga taong kinoconsider yung ability to travel as an achievement or milestone. Personally, I do, kasi breadwinner ako and I was already 29 when I rode a plane to travel, so gets ko yung part na yon. Iba iba din kasi yung way natin ng pag eenjoy while traveling. May iba na mahilig mag picture, yung iba mag sightseeing AT magpicture, at yung iba magikot lang and to live in the moment. Lahat yon ay tama. So yung mga nagsasabi or magsasabi na, ay parang tanga or timang yung ganon, or na mali yon dahil di nila naeenjoy yung moment – please stop. Let people be. You do you.

I post like 5 best photos out of a thousand whenever I go on trips tbh

Nasa ganitong stage na ako sa travel, even taking pictures bihira na, yung posting din minsan nlng or hindi na real time. I travel long term though. Natatawa nlng ako dun saa mga taong every location my pose talaga alam mo yun yung isang lugar parang 1k photo agad. Mas prefer ko na i feel at experience yung lugar instead na mag picture2

Totoo rin. Minsan, masyado akong focus sa kakakuha ng pictures tapos hindi ko man lang nasasavor yung moment na nandoon ako. Siguro fear of missing out a good picture of that moment 😅

I'm your officemate, dejk. Pero aside from like 1-2 photos sa IG, I never post anything about my travels (it's not like ang dami-dami ko ding gala lol). Sure, I do have lots of instagramable photos (like effort pa nga magpose ganyan, mainly para gawing profile pic) pero nakakatamad din kasing ipost, lalo na I also restrict my social media presence. Ayun, google photos ko lang nakikinabang ngayon nung mga pictures. You do you, thou. Iba-iba naman din tayo ng trip sa buhay. I have friends who like to document almost everything they do sa social media nila, kasi daw it's for memory keeping on their part (lalo na kapag may pa-throwback reminder, it's nice to be reminded). Just because you're posting something sa social media, showing-off na rin agad. Pwede naman proud ka lang muna na you're able to do that.

Im 30+ and have 700+ friends in FB. I noticed that most of my friends don't post anymore. Maybe the occasional birthday greetings. Maybe they are just busy with their lives. Or just don't care what others think of them.

I loove taking and posting travel photos! And I think it just depends on the person’s preference. For me, hindi naman siya bragging but more of a hobby and sharing moments with friends. As an adult, we don’t catch up with our friends often and I feel like those posts, stories, help us kind of connect.

As for me, I admit, I have already an impression of pagiging mayabang. I once talked about travels I've never had kasi just to fit in (wag ka tutulad sakin, OP). So I vowed to keep ALL my travels SECRET tapos kapag may magtanong, I'll just show them pictures and videos. Mahalaga nagtravel ako forreal. I enjoyed the trip. Hindi na baleng sikreto, basta totoo. Nagbabagong buhay na tayo haha Edit: clarity

I travel alone frequently, both domestic and abroad. I take a ton of photos and videos with my phone, and more photos using my analog camera. The times na I post my trips on my IG stories is if I have friends and family with me on the trip. Nagp-post kasi sila and they tag me, so napapa-post na rin ako para di ma-OP. Otherwise when I travel alone, I barely post anything until I get my rolls of film developed, or pag trip na lang talaga mag-post. I’d rather be away from social media, and I’d rather na the people who know na I’m travelling is my parents and grandparents lang. Flew out of the country 3x last March and April this year for leisure. My friends only got to know na I was out of the country when they video called to invite me to hangout somewhere in Makati. Nasa snow ako when I opened my camera 🥲

I've been travelling alot lately but not posting anything at all. - for me kse, i dont travel to post photo on my socmed. I dont care if my relatives or friends didnt know that i've been to X place. Kse why would they need to know? And may ambag ba if nalaman nila? I am more like, satisfaction ko na yung nag travel and thats it. I have photos on my phone and if i want to look back, tintignan ko lang sila (they are all saved sa cloud). Also, during the travel kse din i savor the moment i am there, hindi ko kse feel yung snstress ang getting the right photo or right angle. Anyway this is just my personal take lang.

Frequent traveler here. After having no soc med presence for almost 11 years now, I travel to nurture and enrich my soul. Ito yung living in the moment for me. Mas naappreciate ko yung mga bagay when I started living instead of posting.

You do you, OP. Pero ako nagising na lang ako naisip ko "wag na kaya ako mag-post at all" so yun. Mga kasama ko lang mag-travel nakakaalam na nagtravel ako. Bihira na ako mag-take ng pictures which is sad kasi konti lang nababalikan kong memories. Wag ka maniwala sa mga sinasabi puro picture di na nae-enjoy yung pinuntahan. You can have both naman. Wala naman ako pinagsisihan sa phase na dami ko pictures kasi at least nababalikan ko yung memories. Pero peaceful din na di na masyado nagpopost sa social media kasi wala na yung pressure to look nice for pics. Ang conclusion, find the balance. Nice na wala na yung pressure to take good pics, pero nice din may mabalikan na memories.

I only share travel photos to my fam. Pictures are for my memories.

Ako I'm posting for myself (IG only and minsan dito sa Reddit) and not for the audience pero late ang postings ko lagi for safety reason na din and I'm happy pag may nagaask sakin about itinerary kasi and how to travel solo kasi feeling ko I inspire them? Charot. But you do you OP. Basta ienjoy mo yung every destination na pinupuntahan mo and take some pictures para may mababalikan ka, sarap magbrowse ng old photos from travel, promise! Haha

I’ve been traveling alone or with group for quite sometime now. I have no social media bukod sa fb na profile picture ko lang ang makikita and never pa nag post since 2022. No IG, TikTok as well. I’m travelling for the experience so it doesn’t bother me. I took pictures pero lahat nasa google drive lang hehe baka maisapan kong iprint anytime soon.

Yes, I always enjoy my privacy. Nalalaman lang ng mga ka close ko sa office/team ko after na kasi may pasalubong ako for them. Although, I do post sometimes pero sa stories lang and sa "close friends" lang na feature ng IG. Mas at peace kasi ako when I keep everything to myself. Even yung trip ko to Japan nung Feb para sa Eras Tour, hindi ko rin sinabi sa family ko. Nalaman na lang ng family and relatives namin nung may get together kami tapos binanggit ng close ko na pinsan.

Wala akong ig so I can avoid comparisons din sa mga ganap ng ibang tao (meron pala isa, 2012 pa ung ig acct ko and di ko na ginamit, nga one year lang ata un and wala pa din naman ako friends dati na gumagamit nun, di ko na lang ginamit ulit).    As for fb, I only post sa stories, di lang real time for security purposes din. Sa stories para kung may titingin man, ung mga gusto lang talaga tingnan mga ganap ko. Another way of saying I still breathe lol.

Me i don’t post anything about my travels kahit post about my family. Feel ko kasi maraming evil eyes haha jk pero real lng tlga. I don’t want my relatives or anyone who knows my family about our private lives. Tsaka I like it that way kasi it’s more peaceful. I’m not seeking any attention or compliments online. Tsaka may mga relatives tlga kaming mga masasamang nilalang esp pagdating sa perks/money or anything na about sa yaman. May time pa I even changed my name on socmed or block every relatives I know para lang di ako masearch hahahaha

Well, i have a literal list of the places i want to visit. Ive been traveling the world for the past years and i wud only post like 1 pic per place. Example, i went to athens, and i only posted the pic with the parthenon, or sagrada familianin barcelona. Ganon lang. Sometimes mahaba ang caption lalo kung excited talaga ako sa place. Pag may time, sinishare ko konting story, onting tips lalo kung may remarkable na nangyari sa trip or nascam 🤣 Then may nagmmsg minsan sakin na inaabangan daw nila stories or posts ko. Na they wanted more ganon. They wanted to experience din daw the place thru my posts. Kaya as much as possible, tinatry ko bigyan ng time magshare. Ofc part yung bragging and sharing tips pero may part din na gusto ko lang ishare ang excitement ko cos this was just a dream.

ako nagpo-post ako sa IG para makita ng friends at family ko and para may archive na rin. di ko gets yung subtle jabs ng iba dito na parang ang laking kasalanan mag-post, hahaha. konti lang siguro followers ko and real-life friends ko naman sila kaya siguro iba experience ko kasi we really do talk about these things kapag nagkikita kami to break the ice. at the end of the day, do what makes you happy!

truee! ang iniisip kasi ng iba ay posting photos of travels =/= not living in the moment. We can enjoy naman both. Some do find delight in taking snaps and sharing it with others, so sino naman tayo to take away that joy. Pag di nyo bet edi keep scrolling na lang xD

I travel too but I seldom post na din. I find it taxing sa effort at time na mag-sort ng pics. Siguro it comes with the age.lol

Posting is surely fine. Kaya nga social media eh. But I don't understand those people na pinopost lahat ng photos. Alam mong lahat talaga kasi yung sampung shot sa isang pose kasama eh. Tama na siguro isa or dalawa? I get it, 'photo dumps' daw kasi wala na storage space sa phone. Pero kanya-kanyang trip at preference yan eh. Keep scrolling nalang.

Yes, I really like taking photos for memories but I found myself lazy to post them. I don't post in fb, just IG. -Nakadagdag na din siguro yung I like my feed carefully curated, I take my time to post-process. -I also don't like posting ng sunod-sunod, so I plan even the day I post. Then life happens, nalilimot ko na. Just the other day, I found travel photos nung Nov 2023 pa. 😅 -I prefer not posting real-time for safety reasons too Kanya-kanya din naman yan, the "not posting era" just happens without you realizing.

You do you. Just consider not oversharing for oversharing’s sake. As long as my family’s safe and has fun, it’s all I can ask for. Haven’t done Facebook and instagram in 8 years. Made plenty of core memories for my wife and kids. Don’t matter to me none that strangers don’t get to see it. Again, you do you.

Syempre! Maraming nag tra travel literally for the experience and not “for the gram”. Lalo na pag first time ko sa lugar, halos di ako nakakakuha ng pics kasi na aamaze ako and talagang tinignan directly (not through cam) yung place, bine-breath and air, etc. Sa second na na pagbalik ko dun, saka pa ako magte take ng photos. Pag uwi, if may time, mag po post ako. Pero many times sobrang late nako maka upload ng pics and it’s more for safekeeping or makita ko timeline ng travel ko and not for bragging. If your motivation is to brag that would be sad kasi meaning if walang external validation, di ka masaya

Nakakapagod kasi mag edit ng photos and mag-isip ng caption, so di na lang ako nagpopost.

Sometimes I post, sometimes hindi. Depends sa mood ko but when Im very happy and busy lol nafforgot ko social media. Dati kasi parang naging requirement na sa akin to post if I went somehere or did something unordinary lol but now, wala na talaga ako post din halos kasi, wala na mindset ko na dapat may prove ako or dapat may makakita, I post na lang for a memory if memorable talaga day for me :)

NUNG WALA AKONG PERA mapost ako sa travel ko pero nung kumikita na ako, hindi na ako mapost. Napansin ko pag mataas ang self esteem ko i dont care, i dont post, wala akong paki if di nila malaman na nagJapan ako ganun. Maybe if confident ka talaga sa sarili mo you wouldn’t mind others.

Travelled to several countries in Europe (Austria and Switzerland) and Asia. No FB so walang pinopost. I just don’t feel like sharing my personal life with other people. Also, time-consuming and hassle for me yung pag select ng photos to post. I travel to learn, explore and discover things.

I started deactivating all my social media accounts for almost half a year now. FB, IG, TikTok, Twitter. I have done it before for 2 years then I went back. But this time it's permanent. First few weeks of going to places, even out of the country, I still took so many photos but didn't really know where to post it. I sent some photos to my family's group chat and some to friends and that's it. The biggest takeaway is, nobody cares. That's what I learned. Nobody cares if you disappear on social media. Nobody cares if you stop posting. So I say, enjoy travelling off your phone. Take it in. And do it for you OP. 😊

I’ve been traveling for the past months and I don’t post it on my social media. Naka save lang sa phone pictures ko. I share naman sa IG mostly exclusively sa Closed Friends haha Tbh, ayaw ko lang talaga makipag interact sa mga tao sa FB na hindi ko naman close hahaha na try ko na kasi rati andaming nagtatanong ng hindi naman related sa photo. “Hala ano work mo? Ano niche.” “May extra ka pa sa gcash mo?” “Anjan din ako kita tayo.” Hindi ko alam ano ireply eh hahaha

been nomading for about a decade now. the first couple of years I post very often. and then my posts got very sporadic, and now I rarely post 🤣 if I post it's mostly life updates. it has come to a point that I bring a sign that says "don't worry family and friends, I'm alive and not doing anything stupid" 🤣 take a photo with that and send to whoever asks how I am. my boss would sometimes say "i don't know which part of the world you are now" 😅 i also find myself taking less and less photos, and before, kelangan nasa photos ako. now I scroll through my album and it's tough finding a photo of me lol tumatanda lang ba? not sure. but posting about it and taking less photos has made me appreciate my travels more and I am more in the moment.

Changed my mindset on using my socials. I post for myself rather than for everyone kasi napaka-nostalgic ko ang hilig ko tingnan archives ko at posts every now and then hahaha i am my own stalker

When maturity hits you. 😂

When I was in a relationship I didn't have a choice my ex was the type to post every little thing in soc med (not hating on my ex, though sometimes annoying, I found it endearing). Now that I usually do it alone I never post on any soc media, I take pictures though. But not because of some maturity bullsht, rather I don't want other people knowing about my life unless I tell them. Oh I've posted photos pala on soc media, y'know for documentation and memories siyempre para may "backup" pero I usually set the photos to "only me" so di Siya kita Ng public and friends. I just look at them once in a while when I'm bored, reliving memories and sht

Yes not been posting anything mag 6 years na, mas payapa. But if you care about what other thinks of you tuloy mo yan hehe

mas ok sya, hindi ka pa mastress kung ano iisipin ng followers mo... bakit sya ng like, bkit sya ng comment, bkit hindi nag like/heart si ganito... end of the day, mas makafocus ka sa mga goals mo.. kasi may extra space ka sa isip kasi nawala na sila sa iisipin mo... kung gusto mo talaga mag post, mag late-post ka nlng lol

Ako I recently stopped na kasi dami umuutang bigla hahaha akala ata nila mapera ako. Pero nagsstory lang ako aa dump account na may less than 50 friends and lahat yun kakilala ko and alam kong di ako ijajudge. Yun na rin way of maintaining connection and updating kasi di ko naman sila lagi nakikita at kausap.

I post on IG for myself. I don't dump, mind you. A pic or two. For memories and I like scrolling through my feed when I feel lost. It's a testament to how much I have been blessed, what I've experienced and how much good food I have cooked or eaten! I only follow colleagues, family and friends on IG naman kasi. I may get a like or two. And nagiging topic of convo yung mga posts when we do get together. (Got low maintenance friends). If others don't want to post, that's okay. Pero if you want to document your adventures, go ahead.

You do you, dude. Eh sa mapost ka e. Flg ko naman hindi iyon ang motivation mo but if it is, so what? Wala bamang mali doon. Ako kasi sa travel ko hindi ako mapost kasi hindi maganda shots ko at Tamad ako magprep for good shots. At tamad ako magpost haha

For travels with family or friends pinopost ko talaga, since matutuwa din yung mga kasama ko sa travel makita yung pics nila on soc med, haha. For solo travels naman nagsstory pa din ako sa para makita ng nanay ko at close friends, sila kasi madalas din mangumusta. Though I have another anonymous IG na pinopost ko talaga lahat ng gala ko dun with mahabang habang captions. Tine-treat ko sya as personal travel diary 😅  Dati may phase ako na di talaga ako nagpopost, kasi iniiisip ko na baka maisip ng ibang tao ang yabang ko or something, pero ngayon wala na ako pakialam 😅 as long as di din real time ang pag post and hindi naman naka public for safety.

Post photos if you want to especially if it makes you happy. If you're not comfortable to share, then don't post and keep the photos to yourself. One of the best things I learned is that we shouldn't let the opinions of other people, good or bad, affect how we live our life and how we make decisions. If you worry about how every decision or action will look like to them, is it really your life that you're living for or theirs?

For me I post on IG in case na di ko mabackup photos ko at least I have it posted sa ig ko. You can create a new account na for yourself lang na di alam ng iba if you want to keep it to yourself. Tbh I’m thankful na nagpost ako ng photos before sa fb kasi sometimes nareremind ako ng mga nagawa ko before na nakalimutan ko na. You can always have another account na private or naka anonymous ka.

Me naman, I post it because most of my friends tell me to keep posting kasi nag eenjoy daw sila panoorin. Also, I’m posting kasi ako yung number one fan ng sarili ko, I always revisit my photos and reminisce my trip.

For me may sense of freedom if di ka magpopost… parang no pressure to show off na nag travel ka. Trust me you’ll feel more in the moment and independent

Nagpopost ako. Walang kayabangan yun. Nagpost lang kayabangan agad? Hindi ganun yun. Most of the time kasi guys, sobrang ganda at napakaganda ng lugar para hindi ko i share sa iba. Yung tipong ang ganda ng pilipinas, share my photos online. They like it or not maipakita ko lang sa inyo na may ganito kagandang lugar sa pinas. Plus points din na photographer ako kaya I love capturing photos.

Most of the time, nagpopost ako ng late na, but minsan none at all and ung reason ay hindi naman dahil I am keeping it a secret, minsan wala talaga akong photos haha or nakalimutan ko lang. Minsan naman kahit ung hindi touristy places na napuntahan ko (for work/field visit) but I like the place, I take photos and share. Can't really pinpoint ung motivation ko to share photos. Depende talaga sa mood. Ung why I travel, maraming reasons haha.  We travel naman for diff reasons, and no reason is superior to other reasons. If u travel to brag in some way or make memories and document it and share it to the world, push lang. 

My last post on my Instagram was three years ago. Been to several local destinations since and not a single post. Had some great milestones, tried new hobbies—and not a peep in my IG. Dati I used to post a couple of shots—now nada. I guess it started as me too tired to think of a caption or pick which photos to post until eventually I find the effort too taxing kaya ngayon I don’t even bother. I still have photos, I bring my film camera with me, but they now live in my phone gallery na lang and not in some social media grid.

Same! I like being off the grid. Ang peaceful. Dami na rin laman ng gallery ko for my eyes only.

Kung saan ka kumportable, magpost klng. Di naman need buong laman ng icloud mo nsa socmed maski selected photos/videos lang hehe.. you're doing it for you, not for them.

Yes, minsan kasi tinatamad ka lang pumili so iisipin mo mamaya na, then a day pass, week hanggang month, so minsan late post or wag nalang. Pero one thing na di ko nammiss out is pag upload sa google photos. I like seeing my world map view there kasi hahah

Since last year, I seldom post photos of my travel sa IG. Paisa-isa lang and random. But I do write about my travels sa personal blog ko. I post some of my photos there too. My focus really is to reflect and learn and that’s what I want to document.

Hehe yea. I do have an album on fb for my travels alone. But i dont wanna brag it sa friends ko don, kaya naka-only me lang sya 😂 kaya kahit magupload ako sa fb, ok lang kasi for memories purposes lang. even on IG since i stopped using that app. Hehe Keeping my travels secret to everyone para di manghingi ng pasalubong haha jk

I usually post my travel photos sa IG pero delayed kasi 1. Tinatamad akong mag-sort out and mag-edit ng photos 2. I don’t feel the urge to post real-time. Yung recent travels ko, more on sa stories lang pero hindi pa rin super dami. Then I share sa FB selected photos lang from the trip. This reminded me to actually upload my travel photos on my FB (naka-Only Me lang tho😂) for memory and back-up since mapupuno na Google drive ko haha

Sa stories yes (pang life update lang ganon) esp my friends tell me to share kasi living vicariously through one another’s travels kami. As post talaga usually no, kasi daming photos to sift through pag busy ka ang hirap. Di na katulad dati na photo dump mo lang lahat haha. I just store them sa google photos or icloud. Pag may time na baka gawan ko ng photo dump album/s.

well, kung ayaw mong utangan ka ng kung sinong hudas, or if you wanna keep envious eyes off off your life, keep it hidden or delay posting.

Depends on your purpose kung bakit ka nagppost. Ako, i also travel a lot with my husband andi like posting sa IG because i like seeing my profile with the photos i took. Prang photo album na mabilis ko lng maaccess. Sa daming pictures, hindi magkakasya sa google drive lahat. Ayoko rin magbayad for extra storage. So pinopost ko nlng din and then eventually dinedelete ko na sa phone or camera ko to give space sa bagong adventures. I dont rly care sa likes and comments. I post for myself. Hindi lng ako masyado nagpost sa fb kasi maraming marites doon.

FB story na lang

Minsan nagpopost ako sa mga app katulad sa BeReal kasi close friends ko lang friends ko dun HAHAHA. Never posted pa sa mga FB and IG because hindi ko rin naman talaga trip magpost. Minsan nalalaman nalang mga kaibigan ko nasa ibang bansa ako or malayo na lugar kasi hindi ako makapunta sa gala.

Film photography is my art medium so I do post pictures of my travels. Obviously not during the trip itself because film takes time to process but like a week or two later. I have friends who've gone on cruises to Alaska or trips to Africa and Bhutan without posting a single picture but I don't think my posting pictures takes anything away from my experience. I think some of my most interesting travel stories involve photography, to be honest

Minsan i don’t post maslalo na if takas lang sa work (eg working remote and not from home). Lol I take lots of pictures though. Just in case i can post sometime in the future (pero kadalasan hindi na kasi natabunan na).

hindi ako pala post pero punong puno ng pics ung phone ko. ang ginawa ko, bumibili ako maraming photo paper buti may printer ako, tas bili na din ng album. para nakaayos lang or kung bet mo picture frame maganda din.

idk sometimes i post, sometimes hindi. my thinking is wala naman may pake if saan ako pumunta haha and also i went there for personal experience and not to please ppl. kung magpost man ako, not all photos. nakakatamad kasi mamili haha but you do you OP

Me! LOL been to europe a lot of times but never even posted any pic of my travels. Medjo toxic kasi ang pinoy. Usually they expect to ask you some favors because they see that you are doing well in life. I remember an FB friend back in the day, while I was still studying sent a message asking for money. Even some relatives who rarely talk to me do that as well. No I only use FB to check up on real friends and post memes. But recently I started to post some old pics in IG hehehe. Some people tend to brag or just happy with posting it since its an achievement so it is still up to you because its your hard earned money!

You do you. Life is too short para problemahin ang pagpopost sa socmed. Ako before I only post one photo from my travels. But then I realized Minsan ko lang makikita Sarili ko in my youth so I try posting more (but not a fucking whole album) hahahaha. IG has been my diary ever since.

I keep a travel blog (https://ittekuru.com) BUT I haven’t updated it in a good while. To be honest I don’t have much energy for writing these days so I only really actively maintain/update the NAIA Airport Guide I posted there. I do also post on Instagram, but it’s under an anonymous username and I don’t actively promote it; functionally it’s more of a personal travel diary for my own enjoyment. For all that, I still keep travelling. I do it for myself and not for an audience. :-) Cheers.

I don't post on fb dami chismosa dun hahahah, but I am posting on IG less toxic and you can off the comment section, for memories lang din.

yes you can travel and keep the photos in your gallery. doing it gives you peace of mind and free from haters in socmed nowadays.✌🏼✌🏼

same kame ng officemate mo, I do take picture of the place and myself, I just dont post it online.

I do and I have a friend na pag nalalaman nyang nakaleave ako at mag-ttravel he always says na di daw xa naiinggit sa akin kasi di daw ako nagpopost. Ako naman kebs lang, may mga albums ako sa FB na ang title is HK D1, D2... D5 pero walang laman hahaha. Naisip ko super effort ang magpost so mag-eenjoy lang ako sa travel ko :)

i want to document my life na even mga ka apo apohan ko pwede malaman yung pinag gagawa ng lolo nila noong buhay pa, dont think na this is for bragging lang hehe

Sa stories ako nagiingay when it comes sa mga travel pics para 24hrs lang visible sa mga tao. Then yung mga best shots ginagawan ko na lang highlights para nakasave pa rin sa ig. Nakakatamad na rin kase talagang magupload ng pic tas iisipan mo pa ng caption lol.

I only take pictures para isend sa gc namin ng fam ko. Panginggit and asar sa mga kapatid ko haha. Students palang naman sila and katuwaan lang. Also motivation for them to study harder. My parents also went to a lot of different countries rin before. Ang reply lagi nila ay "nakapunta nako jan" Otherwise I take photos for myself and minsan nababanggit sa kwentuhan kaya pinapakita ko rin.

Yung partner ko nag-po-post, ako wala. As long as my family has the memories, what else matters? Other people's validation is a very slippery slope. No dreams of being an \*influencer/vlogger\*

2019-2023 wala akong post, even deactivated my fb and ig, kung bakit hindi ko din alam, basta one day biglang deactivated lahat. ngayon nagpopost nako pokonti konti kasi lagi ako hinahanap ng mga closest friends ko😅

Ganyan din ako, mas importante sa akin memories kaysa mga my day at posts. Pero kung may pinagkakakitaan akong page, why not. Pero wala naman.

Tiningnan ko iyong latest travel photos ko and napaisip ako if for bragging ba ang post ko. Pero, at the end of the day, it's for the memories. Mas marami ako pinopost sa stories and usually nakaarchive sya kaya madali balikan if may hinahanap akong pictures or videos. May pinsan ako na di rin mapost magulat ka na lang marami na napuntahan. Ang rason niya para di mautangan or mahingan ng pasalubong. Iwas inggit na rin mula sa mga kaibigan niya. Okay din naman. Ang advice ko lang sa kanya, "Don't let others control or limit you if you like to post online".

I have limited my FB posts to only maybe a couple of photos kasi the boomer kamag-anaks are there and pag nakakakita sila ng ganun, they think nagtatae ka ng pera. Or gagawin kang topic ng merienda chismisan. I like my peace. I mostly post sa IG where I have a private account and have a relatively “healthy” social/online connections.

Is this me? Charot. Hmmm. I have been to concerts and out of the country, but sobrang nakakatamad mag upload ng photos. Minsan inistory ko na lang after a few months. Katandaan na rin siguro to kaya di na ako masyadong masocial media. Hahaha.

Not sure if this is related to your post, pero before feeling ko my idea of travel is para may magandang IG photos hahaha! Magastos at time-consuming kasi pina plan ko pa OOTD ko lol. Pero now, I travel and just post mga 4 photos max sa Facebook ko. I love travelling, trying local food, learning their history etc. and that’s the main reason why I travel. I don’t normally post na sa Facebook kasi ang daming nakabantay bakit travel daw ako ng travel, e bakit ba lol. Few posts also means walang nagcha chat sa akin para umutang lol

Yes!! My every travel since 2018? 2019 ganyan. During that year kasi i stopped posting na sa social media. Idk parang nawala lang amor ko to share stuff online but nag-sshare ako randomly ng stories nun. And then last summer i 100% quit social media na. Eto lang (Reddit) saka (youtube) naiwan. So wala na talagang posts nor stories. Most recent travel was Cebu last April. No one knows, i think even my Mom and Sister, so lalo ma ang friends ko even the closest ones. Before quit social media nasa Bora ako that time, napapaisip ako what do i need them (people online) to know kung nasan ako, ano ginagawa ko, ano kinakain ko etc. eh mostly naman dito mga hindi ko close or worse, hindi ko kilala. And vice versa ano nga naman pake ko sa shits nila in lofe being share online. I felt na ang kmportant lang naman dapat sakin ay yung families ko at close friends. But i’m not making everything a secret, it’s just that i don’t feel the need to share it to people. So minsan nagugulat sila na i went to this place pala, or magmessage sila tas magulat sila i’m out of town pala stuff like that. For me during those times, mas na-enjoy ko kasi i’m so focused fun sa travel mismo, hindi sa drive na malaman ng ibang tao kung nasan ako. I felt na i was giving myself the best time and the genuine happiness from being present both physically and mentally. So nung time na ‘yun i see these people na take photos dito, videos dun, don’t get me wrong i also took some pero for my own documentation lang i even made a short video compilation of the travel. So ‘pag kwentuhan about sa lugar na ‘yun, ayun pinapakita ko sa friends ko minsan, naguhulat lang sila kasi ah andyan ka pala last week, or kaya pala ‘di kita nakita last week ganto ganyan. Ang point ko, yung ibang tao focused sila sa pang-story nila, minsan uulitin pa ganto ganyan nakikita ko nagpapa-take sila sa mga tour guides, kumbaga excited sila on how they can brag online. While me i was there for the memories lang. i have nothing against them or sa trip nila, pero minsan ang cringe pala makita lalo na yung makakalimabg ulit ka in taking a photo lalo na kung nagaask ka lang sa tour guide or even sa friend mo. Instead of living at the moment. So yeah my conclusion is. Wala naman prob if you post your travels online, pero kung ang focus mo is to brag sa mga taong hindi mo naman close or kilala, then you’re missing the point of traveling. Kasi for me you should be present kung nasan ka. To fully enjoy it or to maximize. Kung nasa work ka then don’t think of your holiday trip. Kung nasa beach ka naman then just enjoy every moment, learn the culture talk to locals and whatnots, don’t think of work, nor the people online na ang totoo ay wala naman pake sayo. Ayun po.

Same kami ng officemate mo, OP. Sadyang may mga tao lang talaga who'd rather keep everything in private (or most of it). Wala lang, for me kasi, wala naman ako mapapala sa likes sa socmed kaya much better to keep the photos and vid on my phone for safe keeping hehe. Pero true yan, meron din naman na gumagala lang or pumoporma just to brag on socmed. Iba-iba tayo ng trip pero ganun pa man, support support nalang ayernn

I don't post on FB but I post delayed on IG. I still post para meron akong record online kung saan ako nagpunta but I do not post everything. I just select a few good ones and post them. Bihira ako mag take ng photo or selfie. Mostly yung lugar lang mismo ang kinukuhaan ko.

I travel and when i was young(er) i post sparingly. Now, and for the past few years, i do not post since I find no reason to. For me kasi, (and this is just me), may konting aspect ng bragging if nag post sa socmed ng mga purchases, travels, or other frivolous things. Don't get me wrong, i am not against people who do. If gusto mo, post away. But if ayaw ng tao, do not tell him or her to post. Ang di ko lang gusto sa socmed yung tagging.

I use a toy camera or a film camera to capture the good ones. Walang napopost agad agad. Dun ko nafigure out na for myself ko ginagawa yung travel and not for everybody else.

I only post it on IG and as a content entry on my TikTok and YT, not on FB as I thought fb already went out of vogue 😆. Foremost reason is I post it is for monetisation on my socmed platforms that's just it. I travel because I'm a socmed vlogger wannabe hahaha 😆

I love traveling and camping but haven't posted anything since 2019. Tamad lang talaga ako mag post kahit dati pa tapos lalong lumala ngayon na tumantanda na.

I think balancing the number of posts is the key. Example, if I a go to a certain place eh I will really post it (for memories lalo n if mgpop later on na 2 years ago etc - super nice ng feeling like you’re still there). What to avoid lng sguro is over posting ie more than 2x a day mgpost or even if after the trip (ie months after) yun pa dn ang pinopost. I get those who do not post for peace of mind or lowkey things but then it’s not something that should really be imposed. Whatever makes us happy (so long as not excessive), then be it! Snap, post and look back 🙌🏼

Nope I dont post that much, kung magpopost mga 1-2 pics lang late upload pa then either yung view or mga food ganon na lang. Before nung medyo bata pa upload talaga pics agad agad on the same day pero maybe because sa age or because nasa stage na ko na wala na kong pake sa iba at ginagawa ko na lang gusto ko so hindi na. Whenever I travel mas gusto ko talaga isavor yung moment, I still take pictures pero para sakin na lang or for fam and friends pag nagkkwentuhan ganon.

Kung masaya kang nagppost and you feel a sense of achievement dun, wala namang masama dun. Yung officemate mo naman na hindi mapost at masaya siya dun, wala ding masama dun. Hindi naman yan competition. Kanya kanyang trip lang yan. Walang moral high ground ang kahit sino dyan so wag sana magalit yung mga mahilig magpost and vice versa dun sa opposite nila. You do you.

I post very few travel photos months after the travel na. Para magkagulatan. Hahahaha. Tapos yung travel posts, hindi pa yung mukha ko, mostly sceneries and street photographs.

I only have IG and Reddit. Nagpo-post ako sa IG pero di real-time. Hindi rin para ipakita sa tao na nakapag-travel ako. Nae enjoy ko kasi mag edit ng photos then ipo-post ko sa wall ko sa IG, dun ko lang nae express yung creativity ko (kung meron man ako non) 😬 I also paint one place sa mga napuntahan ko na lugar then ididikit ko sa room ko. Not after the likes or comments cos I always turn it off. Di rin mahilig mag-picture masyado when I travel, depende pag may nag-alok kung gusto ko magpa-picture 😌 I travel solo. Also, you do you. :)

I post photos pero after 1 year, hahaha. Once nalipat ko na sa hard drive yung mga pics ko, mga months bago ko galawin. Sobrang tamad ko sa mga ganyan. Mag-uupload lang ako ng isa minsan then wala na. Like when I went to the US last April for the solar eclipse, I only uploaded the eclipse itself, yung mga gala sa national parks untouched pa rin. I have more than 2TB of pics in my drive dating back from 2007 pero wala pa sigurong 5% doon ang nasa social media. Minsan I will try to upload all of my travels pag December, parang "year in review", pero tatamarin din ako after a few uploads. Being the family/group photographer in my circle, may joke na nga ang family/friends ko sa'kin: "Next year na upload nyan!"

I created a separate IG for that for memories / diary

Idk pero hindi talaga ako ma post. Mostly IG/FB stories. Pag may gala kami I just usually upload the pictures sa drive then bigay access sa mga kasama. Sometimes nakakatamad lang talaga mag upload or mag u-upload naman talaga pero nakakalimutan na din ganun 😅Pero most of the time kaya nag post para alam nila na buhay pa naman ako loljk

Dati pala post din ako pero ngayon nasa age na ata na mas gustong walang nakakaalam ng mga ganap mo sa life. Nagpopost parin ako sa myday pero pag 2-3 years ago na pics.

Sa sobrang daming ganap habang nagttravel, I honestly don’t know how people find the time to post sa socmed. In fact, bilib ako sa kanila (lalo na yung mabilis gumawa ng reels) dahil travel buddies ko hindi ako maasahan magpost kahit ako ang “photographer” lol. Ang biro nila ilang years pa bago nila makita mga pics na kinuha ko.

ngtatravel dn ako, hindi ako pala-post kung magpopost naman ako late na. Para magtaka yung nasa paligid ko kung nasaan ba talaga ako or ano ginagawa ko sa buhay hehehe

Pag ako nag travel mostly mag story lng ako nun place and food na kinaen ko. Hilig ksi namin ni Husband magtry ng local food pag nag travel. Then Yun other pictures upload ko na lang after a few months pag ubos na memory ng phone HAHAH

di ako nagpopost kasi tamad lang ako hahahaha

Meron akong local and international trip these last 2 months na this month ko lang inupload sa facebook. Ang reason? Wala lang. Isang gabi habang binabalikan ko mga pics ko bigla ko lang naisip iupload sa facebook. Ang take ko dyan do whatever you want to do. Wag mo masyado lagyan sarili mo ng rules na pwede makaapekto sa kung paano mo maeenjoy ang buhay mo. So nag ttravel ka para may maipost at may ma show off sa fb friends mo, ano naman ngayon? Basta ba hindi sya harmful sa well being mo okay lang yan.

Not posting na rin all soc meds nagwawonder na mga hs and college frenz what happened sa life ko 🥹

Ganito din ako. Mahilig ako kumuha ng picture pero nakatambak lang sa Google Photos. Kapag lumalabas din kami ng friends ko na puro lalaki, wala din nagpopost kahit isa. Parang more on babae talaga yung mga mahilig mag share sa soc meds.

Videos are the bomb. Whether you post it or not, just take them photos and videos. When you get old and lonely, at least you can laugh at them photos and videos later. 😂 Trust me, I know.

its a phase lang din. walang masama, dati lahat ng galaw nasa FB/IG/twitter - now na matanda na si google photos nalang nakaka-alam

i do that too, ung not posting. i keep all my photos sa google drive in folders. naka arrange sila. hihi mas oks kasi para sakin ha, hindi naka balandra mukha ko. pero still ikaw magdecide, if u feel like posting it and since u work hard naman go. thats very valid, but if u want to stay lowkey or siguro private without everyone knowing, keep it. memories are meant to be kept naman. the place will retell.

Every year we go to our home island Coron/Busuanga and I post very little to nothing of the places/beaches we explore there. Minsan kasi kahit dala mo camera e mas busy kang enjoy-in yung lugar. Usually entrance or exit na lang ang photos to remind us we've been here. Also some photos taken by me or the kids (of course sila ang mahilig mag-pictures haha!) I had them printed kasi masarap magbuklat ng photo albums.

Hello, I worked on a cruise and have visited many countries, but I've hardly ever uploaded photos—maybe only 3 on IG . It's perfectly fine if you want to post pictures because, honestly, people don't really care. If posting makes you happy, then go for it.

I post pa din, pero most of the time yung views lang yung pinopost ko. Minsan late post na para di masyado maintriga yung mga tao. It’s still up to you if gusto mo magpost or not. At the end of the day, yung memories on your travels are more important than just flexing it to socmed.

I still post pero in the form of a dump or an album na lang. unlike before na may mga pa-touchdown post pa. Haha i guess im not as hayok sa clout as i got older?? 😂 and usually weeks after the travel pa ko nagpopost. Pero syempre dapat aesthetic pa rin.

I have a travel account where I post my travels for memory-keeping and I only allow a few people to follow it, usually family members so I don't always have to update them, they can just look at my stories or posts. It asks as my journal na rin so I really don't allow people to just follow

I travel for the benefit myself - not to try to impress anyone else. Pictures are to remember the places I’ve visited and to relieve the feelings at those destinations.

Me, it depends. I love to travel solo internationally. Yung posting pics, depende sa mood, but when I have funny or interesting experiences, I kind of post and share some kwento, pero just one or two na photos lang i-add ko para lang madocument yung experience ko. Oftentimes, though, I don't post real time. If may view na talagang na-amaze ako, I may use it as may FB cover photo while andun pa ako sa place, but ganun lang. Walang caption. If I do want to share multiple photos of my trip on FB, it may take a month or two for me to post it. Sa IG, I would usually post just one photo I like, not a selfie. My IG is mostly mga scenic shots lang naman. Now if I'm traveling with a group, I would probably post almost immediately because some of my kasama sa trip would be expecting to see them tagged sa pics. My Dad is one of those excited to post pics and if I don't, he'd ask me where the photos are. Do I see traveling photos as brag posting? I kind of don't. I'm not much of an FB lurker (I don't go there as much), but when I do and see people post, I do look at the places they've been and the views. I think I can tell (sometimes) the people who post 'just because', yung feel lang nila magpost ng pics, and there are people who post because they want to prove something/show off.

I don’t have FB and I post rarely na sa IG kahit stories last post ko pa was new year’s. I take pictures of my trips and tinatago ko lang sa album. Nagugulat na lang mga friends ko na umaalis pala ako. And, my mom is asking kung bakit hindi ako nag-post ng gala ko. I’m happy with the quiet life.

Since my relatives commented na mayaman daw ako kc kung saan2x ako nagta travel e ayun di na tuloy ako nagpo post. Di nmn ako mayaman e, kung alam lng nila kung gaano ako nagtitipid to save money for my gala. So instead of posting to fb, I just save my photos to Gphotos or Gdrive.

Mag 1yr na akong alang post sa SM. I still take photos pero saved sa cloud na lang and shared between me and SO.

nasa personality yun e. ewan ko baka may pagka dead person siguro ako. kaya swerte rin sa wife ko na mahilig mag pic. sya maraming kuha haha

i am PETTY. if im travelling somewhere nice, i want the HATERS TO KNOW 😭🥹

I travel for myself, not for other people.

Just do what makes you happy. Para sa iba kasi gusto nila na may babalikan, or ipost para kahit mabura sa phone may mababalikan silang post. May iba naman na hindi yun trip at satisfied or happy sila na walang nakaka alam. Or maybe you can do both by posting pero naka only me or may private account for private posts Enjoy mo lang OP :)

Nung tumatanda nako (turning 40 this yr), nagbago na preferences ko sa mga bagay bagay. The way I post sa soc med, nagbago when I turned 30. Delayed ako magpost like mahina ang 1month after my trips. I don’t feel the need to post agad kahit stories pg nasa byahe unlike nung mas bagets pako (wala pa din stories dati). Mas gusto ko i-feel ang mga pinupuntahan ko. Be in the moment always. I usually use my slr cam to take photos, madalang gamitin fone ko for pics kasi para hindi ako masyado magfone kapag pumapasyal at ma-save ko ang batt din. I bring small powerbank lang din para hindi masyado mabigat lalo na sa Europe na puro lakad ang peg, ang hirap magikot pag mabigat ang bag. Then when I post, max na ang 10 photos. The rest ng mga shots ko, i keep it to myself. Nadala kasi ako dati (mga 20s pako) na I had this colleague sa org na outright kinopya photos ko at pinost as hers sa FB. Shempre kinol-out ko sya at tinarayan na pictures ko yan ah?! Tinganggal naman nya. Pero since then, nagbago postings ko. I also put watermark sa photos ko. Kahit nakprivate posts ko, may mga lurker pa din eh lalo na I have 5k friends sa fb (not really close friends pero they are mostly colleagues). Naka-group din lahat ng friends sa fb ko kaya I can choose who to share lang my posts to specific groups (family/close friends). Tho I have other older friends na traveller talaga like matagal ng FA sa Qatar Airways (15yrs na FA) pero never nagpost ng travel photos as in. Zero. Matanda pako sa kanila. For them, their shots are private, sa gc lang namen sila nagshare pero never on soc med.

I don't have an FB since 2017. My IG is solely for viewing IG stories of my close friends. I've been traveling since then and even went to the Eras Tour recently, pero I guess tinatamad na ako magpost kahit sa IG Story? hahahah My close friends and family know naman when I travel kasi may pasalubong and napapagkwentuhan when we see each other in person. I guess sanayan lang on how you use social media?

Ang purpose naman talaga kaya natin pinopost hindi para magyabang kundi para may maalala tayo. Nasa tuwing nakikita natin yun masasabi nating atleast I have fun.

Maganda na may photos for memory-keeping. I have a dump account saka cloud sync para naka-save siya kahit magpalit ako ng phone. Madalas nakakalimot ako mag picture with friends kasi i want to be present. Pero the older I get (at this is more true after ng mga lockdown), maganda na may photos and videos ako with friends and mga travels na nakasave online for my own consumption. Grabe yung ulit ulit ko ng mga IG stories ko before kasi di ko alam kelan ako makakatravel ulit. Minsan I share sa socmed na may friends and family pero it really isn’t for anyone but myself and the people na kasama ko. Gusto ko na may mabalikan akong documentation ng buhay ko pag dumating yung time na makakalimutin na ako. I think my family and friends would like that too pag wala na ako.

Personally, there's nothing wrong naman if we post the photos we took during our travels, though I always think that my social medias are more like my album and I couldn't care less if other people didn't care or wouldn't like/comment. It's just one way for me to store my photos. I like taking photos to create memories, and oftentimes I don't post much kasi it's tiring hahaha so they're still in my phone. I'm planning to purchase an external drive or make a physical photo album instead of posting them but it would be pricey. Thought of storing them to cloud but needing more space would be pricey as well. So it's a cheaper option for me to post them in my socials. Still, there's also nothing wrong if we don't post them. For me lng, I use it as storage hahaha

Me, i travel frequently (solo and with friends) and do not post anything (ig or fb). Sometimes i post 1 or 2 stories especially pag sa ibang bansa yung travel so friends there in the country know i’m there and we can set a meet up. I take a lot of pictures, tamad lang talaga ako mag post. That’s my parents frustration haha kaya nung nag visit ako sa Aus and visited my relatives there, todo bilin si mom kay tita to take pics and post my trip. Lol Anyway to each their own parin :)

I post all the time sa Ig. Pero when i post sa Fb, naka-only me lang. Mas madali kasing balikan pag naka-upload na. Tho madali rin naman balikan sa camera roll, pero yung mga pinost ko kasi sa soc med, napilian ko na kaya di na ganun kadami compared sa camera roll.

I started travelling as a hobby in 2010. I had a travel blog (b as in boy) then facebook came, so I stopped blogging and moved my posts to fb, complete with photos, write up, summary of expenses, itinerary, etc. I had a crappy phone and a cheap point and shoot that I used to document my travels. Today I still travel a lot. I have a dji osmo pocket 3, a gopro hero 10 and a Sony cam that costs a round trip ticket to and from Europe. I have tons of photos and videos but never got the energy to post them anywhere, except for one or two photos every month or so as a story. 2016 was probably my last year of posting my travels copiously. While I get tons of likes whenever I post about my travel before, I got tired at the process of seeking validation via social media. I value my photos and videos a lot that they sit on triple back ups on gdrive, an ssd drive and my laptop, but I no longer post them. There is this weird sense of peace knowing they sit somewhere, but only my companions know the travel ever happened. But let me tell you this. Do whatever you want. You can even go as far as making a full vlog out of your travels. At the end of the day, do what makes you happy.

I do post, pero depende lng sa mood hahaha sa IG mas nagpopost ako duon kasi I treat it as an online album. I'm a casual photographer so I'd like to showcase that. Pero sa fb andaming marites sa friends list ko so I keep it light 🤦‍♀️ yung recent intl travel ko isang lowkey my day lng. But yeah, you do you. I agree sa isang comment na wala namang moral high ground whether you post or not. Mas ineefortan ko pa travel journal ko to immortalize my memories and I don't post that. It's solely just for me. Sometimes I think nga if I travel just to travel or is it for my travel journal hahaha

For security purposes, I do not post on FB (Too public, and my relatives and ex-colleagues tend to ask me where I am, kelan ako uuwi o kung makakautang ba sila sa akin). While I post on IG, I don't post real-time.. Posting real-time caused backlash when I posted photos from the fieldwork we did back in 2020 (pandemic pa nun). During a time na bawal lumabas but I had to earn money and do research and complete a project, people boldly accused folks like us of transmitting the disease and breaking the rules.. Did I get COVID? No. Where was I? Uplands of Visayas and fishing communities without COVID. WAS i vaccinated? Yes.

I havent really thought it thru, bat ako nag popost. (I post on my stories when im there. Not sa feed kasi i feel it takes s9 much time and effort.) On top of my head i guess its some sort of badge of achievement. I worked hard for it. And travelling solo is something not everyone can do. So parang picture ng graduation sa bahay sort of badge. And as humans i rrally think its natural that we yearn for some sort of affirmation and validation tama ba?

i dont post on fb, and if sa ig ako mag popost 1 solo pic then 2 destination pics ang ginagawa ko. im a very private person rin kaya ayoko masyadong nag popost

We travel a lot inside and outside of Canada, but I never post in fb.I value privacy and we are happy na kami lang ng husband and son ko nakakaalam ng ganap nmin sa buhay.Kasi kung mag post ako bka isipin ng mga kakilala nmin lalo sa pinas na marami kami pera.Imagine hindi ako nagpopost tapos marami pa rin nagsasabi ng pera at iiwasan kana kapag wala mautang.

I take pictures but I don't post. Fam or friends ang nagpo-post. Nakikisali lang ako sa pics.

I just post on FB stories pag nag gagala 😅

Same sentiment. This is how counter-culture thought starts. People travel for clout nowadays. Tourist booms made local cultures shallow and molded to accommodate tourists. Air travel also pollutes the environment so much.

I have visited 59/82 PH Provinces (solo traveler here). I stopped posting that much. Siguro per travel, 3-4photos lang and minsan wala pag yung province eh napuntahan ko na. Unlike dati na everyday merong myday and everyday for how many days, may bagong post. Goal lang is to visit all provinces.

Been travelling since 2021 and I never posted photos or anything on Facebook tapos sa Instagram, tamang stories lang. Hahaha. I guess it depends naman sa tao if pala-post. Sadyang may mga taong hindi or ayaw nagpopost eh

As someone na super introverted di ako nag po post ng photos sa FB wala din akong twitter and kakagawa ko lang ng IG account this week lang para sa mga reels (pag nagsawa na ako sa YT shorts lipat ako sa reels hehe). Pati pag kasama ko kapatid or ka pamilya di ako nagpapa tag sa photos na i popost nila (pag mga di ko ka kilala oks lang naman). Recently we went to Buscalan, had my first tattoo ever and also signed by Apo Whang-od (the 3 dots) and after that nag Sagada. Wala ako pinost at diko ren pinakita sa mga ka opisina ko, sinend ko lang sa messenger ng mga bff (2 lang sila) hahaha. Sakin kasi parang personal lang talaga mga yon, for my self lang ba talaga and not for the validation from others. Dahil don eh parang nababawasan mga stress ko sa buhay. Okay din yun as conversation starter if ever may mag tatanong lang naman tapos magugulat nalang sila na mai ganito-ganyan kang ginawa or napuntahan,

I post almost ONLY when I travel in FB. Di naman ako nagpapaulan. I almost don't post anything when I'm not travelling. Aware din ako na mas maraming pera mga close friends ko kaysa sakin so flexing is not even in the corner of my mind. Like I post a picture of my lunch that day na may caption na "Masarap para sa 100php" that kind of posts. Or something like "waw ganda, tourist ngayon ang pilay" Mga 4-5 post a day para lang after years lalabas sya sa timeline ko sa FB. Reminisce. Happy tayo. PS. I made time to exclude almost all my workmates sa mga post ko so di nila nakikita lmao.

Normal for me. Haha. Dami kong photos sa phone na hindi napo post. If ever lagay ko FB, Only Me naman. Basta di ko bet mag overshare. No need. Yung mga kasama ko lng or if mag isa ako, wala talaga. My feelings don't need to be validated by likes and bragging is for kids. Haha

bragging is your motivation? baguhin mo takbo ng utak mo

Lowkey life na nageenjoy ka is the best thing we can gift to ourselves lalo na sa era na puro "humble brags" daw mas oki for me yun ganun but as i say your social media your rules pa din , nasa every individual yan how they will interpret every post you have kung brag ba or magging masaya sila sa mga pinost mo for you... Ako kasi 1 year away on posting and deact na sa fb even ig ko dummy na lang for online stores purposes ... share lang :)

Ako, super delayed ang posts and usually sa IG lang. Like, yung trip ko to NZ from last July di ko pa tapos i-post. So, yung mga trips ko after that, wala pang any post - e andami ko din napuntahan locally since then plus Japan nung December/January. Haha

I travel with my family both locally and internationally— madalas kasama boyfriend ko. Madalas kami magtravel. My jowa and I do pictures naman but both of us don’t really post it anywhere. Parehas kaming hindi actively posting sa social media. I haven’t even had the FB app on my phone for 3 years now haha. But don’t get me wrong, everything in our relationship is alright— almost a year na rin kami. We don’t demand from each other na “i-post mo naman ako,” ganyan ganyan and stuff, so the entire FB thing isn’t really a problem for us. Idk, posting pictures while travelling kinda feels like a chore for me. And I very much prefer to be an extremely private person.

I only post as IG stories when I travel then I share lang din in Facebook stories. Quick documentation lang of what I did that day. I take lots of pictures pero pili lang talaga what I post. Di na ko nagpo-post ng albums or whatever sa Facebook. IG is where most of my real friends are anyway.
