How To Use Snapchat For Your Travels

After Facebook, many people turn to Instagram for documenting their trips. Today, we have the new Instagram and we call it—Snapchat. This social media site and app allows you to post short videos and snippets of your trip. If you want to share your travel story to the world (or to your social media friends), then you should learn to up your Snapchat game. To help you out, here are some simple tips on how to use Snapchat in your trips:

·         Tell them a story.

The best thing about using Snapchat is that it allows you to tell a story about your trip and not just show people the places that you have been to. Instead of just snapping a photo of the place or taking a short video of the scenery, we recommend that you use it to tell a story. Do not hesitate to narrate or share some information about the place while taking a video of it. You can give your viewers some trivia, background, history or any interesting information about the place.

·         Create themed content.

If you want people to follow you, treat your Snapchat profile like a mini TV series of your trip. Post a portion of this series every day while you are on the trip and you will surely leave people asking for more. In addition to posting your short videos about your trip, it is also recommended that you encourage your viewers to send you questions about your trips which you will answer in the next episode. Additionally, you can also ask them to share their own tips. By doing so, you will be able to build a small travel community in Snapchat.

·         Slow down.

It is recommended that you slow down while you take videos. In this way, you can be able to show each and every detail of the scenery or place that you are in. Avoid taking videos in fast forward mode as this can make people dizzy.

·         Share interesting snaps.

No one would like to watch boring videos so make sure that you do something different everyday. Additionally, you should feature exciting activities instead of the usual snaps and shots of your trip.

Whether we like it or not, we cannot deny the fact that technology has played an important role in our travel life. That is why many people turn to technology if they wish to enjoy a comfortable and stylish trip. If you would like to use Snapchat in recording and documenting your trips, you should follow the tips that we have provided above.
