Mel: @girleatworld

View this post on Instagram 🇫🇷 Day 2 of #TastyTravels with @hotelsdotcom in Paris! There are so much good pastry here that I've literally been eating them all day. I was so jetlagged last night that I passed out before the sun even set (which is like at 11pm here!) and consequently woke up very early at 4am. So I took the first metro at 5:45am to Eiffel Tower for sunrise. I arrived at 6am and the place was EMPTY! well, except for couples shooting their bridal photos. And of course I brought my macarons… for breakfast 😂! These are from Pierre Hermé, a crowd's favorite when it comes to macarons in Paris. I got the Rose, Ispahan and Jasmine flavor, also Jardin Andalou (not pictured but it's mandarin orange and raspberry). surprisingly Jasmine was my favorite even though I tend to not like flowery fragrant flavors, but this one was perfect! What I like the most about Pierre Hermé is that the taste of their pastries are not too overwhelmingly sweet. A must try when you are in Paris. #shotoniphone8plus #shotoniphone #eiffel #paris #macaron #pierrehermé #pierreherme #GirlEatParis A post shared by ❤️ Mel's Food & Travel log (@girleatworld) on Jun 27, 2018 at 3:57am PDT

This platter was $63 and had 6 different Oshi sushis. My favourite was the salmon aburi!! I would definitely go back, and I recommend making a reservation because the wait can be long.

Eva: @evakosmasflores

View this post on Instagram I don't often share the meals that have become a staple of our household on the blog, mainly because I've made them so many times that they've lost that new and shiny sparkle in my mind, and I'd rather try my hand at making and shooting something new. 👩🏻‍🍳 . After having these for dinner every month for well over a year, I've finally gotten around to sharing the recipe with you all on the blog. These Moroccan Meatballs come with a lemony greek yogurt sauce and roasted broccolini, which is also delightfully lemony. Everything is made on a sheet pan in the oven, and takes less than 40 minutes to make from start to finish. 🤩 . The meatballs themselves are packed full of delicious spices and aromatics, savory ground pork or lamb (your choice!), diced onion, and chopped gooey dates that becomes like little caramelized bombs inside each meatball. It's the simplest dinner staple in our house, and also one of the favorites (along with veggie tacos, which I'll share another time). 🧡 . You can grab the recipe via the link in profile, can't wait for you to dive in! 👆🏼 . . . . . . . #firstweeat #eattheworld #heresmyfood #foodandwine #foodiegram #farmfresh #eatpretty #buzzfeedfood #todayfood #farmtofork #recipeoftheday #forkfeed #tastingtable #seriouseats #foodoftheday #insiderfood #lovecooking #homemadefood #lifeandthyme #seasonalfood #feedfeed #foooodieee #drooolclub #food4thought #foodadventure #foodieblog #foragebyfolk #instafood #eatmunchies #fromscratch A post shared by Eva Kosmas Flores 🌿 Photo Food (@evakosmasflores) on May 23, 2019 at 7:16am PDT

View this post on Instagram Food tastes better when shared, it’s the best when shared with people who are passionate about making and eating same kind of food! We made this “Taste of Home” dinner together by everyone contributing one hometown dish, and also to celebrate the belated dragon boat festival. Eating out could be fun and convenient, but when discussing, planning, sourcing, prepping, making food, are all involved, eating together becomes a lot more meaningful and mesmerizing.

View this post on Instagram Notizen📝*(aus meinem Herzen): bin heute aufgestanden, direkt mit Depression, sowie auch die Tage zuvor. Und ich habe geweint. Ja! Allein in dieser Wohnung. ALLEINSEIN. Ein unglaubliches Gefühl der Leere, Beklemmung und der permanente Wunsch nach Ablenkung. Und ich wurde gewarnt. Vor genau diesem Gefühl. Und ich? Ich wollte es nicht glauben. Ich wollte es wieder probieren. Nur meine Schuld? Der eigene Körper. Er schreit. Er schreit nach Liebe, nach was das nicht mehr da ist, nach Trost, nach mehr. MEHR. Das frisst mich innerlich auf. ICH und ALLEINSEIN. PERFEKT! Wie habe ich das in der Vergangenheit geliebt. Zeit nur für mich. An alle die denken ich sei nur noch traurig, an alle die meinen die Realität sei Märchenfilm. Das hier: DAS ist Realität. Das ist normal. Das alles ist so menschlich und dafür muss man sich nich schämen. Denn loslassen tut weh. Ja. Dieses Gefühl. Wenn man merkt, dass man etwas loslassen sollte, aber trotzdem weiter daran festhält. Weil man immer noch die Hoffnung hat, es würde alles wieder gut werden. Tja! Aber weg laufen war auf Dauer keine gute Idee. Alles auf einmal. JETZT. Viele Entscheidungen. Viele Änderungen. Eine Notbremse, die hätte niemals schlimmer sein können. Mich macht diese Zerrissenheit wahnsinnig. Die innere Balance wieder zu finden wird ein schwieriger Weg, wenn man diese irgendwo verloren hat. Ich gehe nach draußen.Der Himmel, er weint. Wie meine Seele. Vor fast einem Monat. Es war ein wunderschöner Tag. Und das hier wird mein Sommer💀. . . . 🍺 HOLY SHIT ALE. Ist das Bier zu stark, bist du zu schwach. Bei glatten 10% vol. ist hier der Name Programm und das ist genau mein Ding. Der erste Schluck, der Schock, "Jammern auf höchstem Niveau" würde ich sagen. Dieses DoubleIPA hat sehr viel Substanz. Das Bier wirkt schon beim ersten Schluck bitter mit einem Mix aus Citrus und Orange. Alles in allem ein sehr bekömmliches Tröpfchen, welches auch gut in den Kopf geht, soviel steht fest. Ein wirklich sehr gelungenes Bier. Lieber Herr Schoppe, bitte bitte machen Sie weiter so! 🤭 . . . #schoppebräu#schoppe #schoppebräuberlin #schoppymän #holyshitale #drinkcraftnotcrap #craftbeerporn #beertasting #craftbeertography #beertography A post shared by ¥•🕸 Helena 🕸•¥🔗 (@bier_love) on May 28, 2019 at 4:08am PDT

The 40 Food Instagram Accounts You Should Be Following Right Now

Between the cheese pulls and breakfast bowls, narrowing down the list can be hard. Here are some you can't miss.

If you check Instagram as much as we do (which might be more than we care to admit), curating the right feed is very important. Whether you're following Instagram influencers or bakers making lattices almost too impressive to eat (we said almost ), it's important to choose accounts that make you happy, and hungry.

But with so many enticing cheese pulls and colorful breakfast bowls out there, figuring out which accounts to follow can be overwhelming. We see it as a Goldilocks test. Does the account post too often that it's annoying or so infrequently that you forget it exists? Is it so aspirational that it makes you kind of hate your life or is it not aesthetically pleasing enough? In order to earn a follow, the account has to be just right .

On top of that, there are new, trendy accounts coming into play all the time. Keeping up with it all can be exhausting. That's where we come in.

Top 5 up-and-coming travel and food influencers

Food and travel are blossoming as digitally native millennials prioritize experiences over belongings. Naturally, who doesn't want to eat Spaghetti alle Vongole in its native home of Naples, Italy? Marketers within these industries are always looking for ways to authentically scale their content to relate to consumers. Fortunately, with social media and influencer marketing , marketers are finally getting the answers they've been looking for. Learn how these up-and-coming travel and food influencers built niche communities of followers who are passionate about experiences and see what marketers stand to learn from their success.

Jen Morilla

With a mission, "to create incredible possibilities of transformation for humankind to live lives of impact, purpose, and badassery," Jen Morilla is always on the go. Visiting the most beautiful places on the planet, such as Costa Rica and Scotland, Jen strives to make a social impact and learn about the many nuances of cultures throughout the world. As well as backpacking for a living, she has a blog where she gives meaningful insight to her community of followers regarding essential packing lists for travel and how-to-travel guides to the best tourist locations. Jen explains that her audience is a mirror of herself, and brands that she works with need to reflect that as well.

"I work with socially, sustainable, and eco-conscious brands. I am an Impact Traveler, which means that for the last 4 years, I've been traveling with clean water-filters to developing countries and creating content/stories around social issues and purposeful travel."

With a growing Instagram community of 23.6K, Jen continues to travel the world dispensing clean water to in-need communities and gain unique cultural experiences. Her mission-driven message is one that helps brands connect with her passionate community.

Luisa Ruocco

Luisa Ruocco, otherwise known as the #HungryTraveler , is taking food to the next level. Luisa spends her time traveling the world, where she enjoys delicious meals at unique trendy restaurants and shares her findings with her 51 thousand Instagram followers. Luisa has explored different food options from London to Bali and is constantly on the move to discover more hidden gems.

Luisa offers some sage advice to brands seeking to work with influencers: "...find someone who really resonates with the brand image you are trying to get across to your audience and know their worth. In my opinion, a brand would be better off paying a little more to an influencer who has a cult-like following than someone who has a large follower count but low engagement rates."

Whether it be a gourmet chicken recipe or the best chili fries around, Ruocco is determined to seek out the tastiest dishes in the world and share them with her community while working with brands who share her values.

Kimia Kalbasi

Kimia Kalbasi has built a personal brand for herself revolving around tasty food and cool restaurant spots. From exquisite sushi rolls to indulgent slices of pizza, Kimia is determined to find the best places to eat for her community of food lovers. Not only does Kimia showcase delicious foods, but she blogs about her favorite healthy recipes and shares with her readers how they, too, can indulge in guilt-free goodies.

Becoming an influencer isn't easy, as Kimia shares her community-building journey: "The time and dedication are the most challenging as you're juggling countless other projects, campaigns, meetings, etc. Communities are not based on the ''build it and they will come mentality.'' Communities need to be nurtured and cultivated in order to grow healthily, but always have to remember the rewarding fulfillment it brings."

Specializing as a San Franciscan food enthusiast, Kimia loves to work with hip young brands, such as David's' Tea and Sejoyia Coconut Bites. So, if you're a Bay Area brand with a food-driven mission, Kimia may be the perfect match to seek out your target customer. With 17.8K followers on Instagram ,  Kimia continues to connect with people through her journey of finding the most delicious bites.

Emily Fanning

Imagine if visiting quaint boutiques, enjoying Rosé, or visiting gorgeous beach scenery could actually turn into a hobby that puts cash in your wallet. Luckily for Emily Fanning , her community of Instagram followers has made this dream her reality. Emily fangirls over cutesy feminine brands, such as Pink Blush and Madewell that resonate with her community of "brunchers". Emily showcases a brand's products in some of the best tourist locations, like Cape Cod or Santa Cruz.

Emily advises a cautious approach to brands looking to work with influencers. "Numbers are not the end-all-be-all. Fortunately, many brands have caught on and are starting to pay attention to engagement as well as follower count, but they should still be careful - it's far too easy to buy likes , which will feed into vanity metrics."

With authenticity as the backbone of her following, Emily is working on organically growing her number of 7.5K Instagram followers. If aesthetically pleasing shops and dainty vacation spots are your things, be sure to hit Emily with the follow button, and if you're an elegant yet chic boutique, antique shop, or cafe, definitely consider partnering with this influencer.

Lauren Mims

Lauren Mims encompasses all things, Colorado. Lauren spends a lot of time in the outdoors of her beautiful state, where she goes on scenic hikes and hangouts out with her best friend, Coco (her adorable dog). As well as hiking trails, she shares with her followers some of her favorite #foody meals, such as cauliflower pizza or churro doughnuts that are to die for.

If you're looking to tap into a localized audience in Colorado, Lauren is your go-to girl! She advises brands: "Do your research (on influencers) and don't take it lightly. A huge follower count is so alluring, but could easily be inflated. Check their entire sphere – even use specific platforms for making sure an influencer's' engagement is legitimate. You should work with influencers that are on-brand and authentic or you will never see the return you're looking for."

At a following of 17,000 on Instagram, Lauren hopes to continue and grow the size of her community to work with brands that resonate with her brand of travelers and site-seers. In the meantime, her localized personal can help brands strategically understand a curated local audience.

As influencers continue to connect with niche audiences and build authentic relationships with consumers, embracing influencer marketing is absolutely imperative for brands. Instead of running into pesky ads, consumers are open to influencer content that highlights a variety of brands, from retail labels to household products, making the content trustworthy and organic. Travel and food brands can connect more closely with their audience by embracing influencers.

User-generated content creates a story for travel destinations and restaurant experiences, giving travel and food brands the perfect channel for improving brand-customer relationships and loyalty. Influencers are trusted by their community of followers, and this helps build social proof for brands and brings awareness to tourist locations and food joints. So, whether you're a hotel chain, trendy diner, or beach resort, welcome influencers into your market strategy and watch your conversions grow.

Top 10 Travel Influencers in 2023

They are the new explorers of our digital times, and perhaps also rank amongst the people we envy the most… who doesn’t wish they were living the glam life of a travel influencer? Every day they share highlights on their social media channels of a life of discovery, travels and encounters with new cultures . Their tales and adventures turn wanderlust dreams into reality and tempt us to follow them as we watch from the comfort of our sofas. From heavenly beaches to breathtaking views or luxury hotels , they take us with them in their virtual suitcases on journeys across the globe , and we live vicariously through their quality content.

In blog articles, vlogs, or snapshots shared on their accounts, travel influencers are everywhere on social media. Their influence is so impressive that numerous brands, agencies or even hotel groups make use of their services for their marketing campaigns. Here’s what we’ve got to say on how the tourism industry can work with influencers .

At Influence4You, we’ve binged through the content of countless accounts brought to us by this new generation of explorers , and here are our top 10 travel influencers in 2023.

The Bucket List Family

The most travel-friendly family.

In 2015 this ordinary family decided to sell everything and go on an extraordinary adventure around the world. Here are two parents brave enough to take their 3 kids on an epic journey. They defied the stereotypes that come with the idea of normal family life settled in a nice family home, working normal jobs. Now, these “Family Travel Journalists” have become the most followed family on Instagram… They may describe themselves as an “average family” but there’s no question the Gee’s don’t make for the average family photographs. You can watch the family grow through their wholesome content on YouTube, Instagram, or on their website . In spite of their caution that this is “no vacation”, sharing its ups and downs, the family is having an incredible time of it!

Sorelle Amore

The most free-spirited.

Sorelle Amore isn’t just about travelling, but also the philosophy behind it: reflecting on who you are, discovering that “inner voice”, finding your true self and above all being free to create, live and explore. Her “advanced selfies”, as she calls them, are truly unique works of art. Sorelle inserts her body into different settings with both delicacy and boldness. Even more engaging is the words captioning the photos that reveal the thoughts prompted by the location she’s at, and her own place within it. In her videos you discover another side of her character, bouncy, always ready to joke about herself. She’s always ready to help other content creators following her to also live their dream lives. Her authentic and disarming personality resonates with anyone who stumbles across her content, and it’s no doubt what won her ThirdHomes’s Best Job on the Planet award in 2017.

Oneika the traveller

The most empowering.

One huge personality! Having caught the travel bug early on, Oneika started sharing what it means to her to be black and abroad in her award-winning blog . Sassy, smiling, and fearless, the polyglot doesn’t miss an opportunity to chat with a stranger, parachute and bungee jump, or tackle topics like diversity and multiculturalism head-on. Learning languages, dating on travels, supporting local communities abroad… The teacher turned TV host, writer and solo travel expert met her husband 11 years ago in a club in Hong Kong. After over 70 countries as a couple, Oneika has recently taken to travelling as a family with the arrival of baby Kira. Her blog is full of original content and is an inspiration to other travellers wishing to embrace the engaged and thrill-seeking lifestyle of which she is such a daring ambassador.

The most ‘Emily in Paris’

An aesthetic mixing architectural and natural. It’s hard not to stay in the honeymoon phase when looking at the city of light and romance through Oliver’s camera. His play on natural elements gives the city’s buildings an ethereal feel. You’ll find cityscapes reflected in ponds covering the pavement, or structured by the meanders of the Seine. At other times it’s the sun’s warm afternoon glow that is framed by the famous sites. His Instagram nurtures a distinctive elevated feel. ‘Emily in Paris’ may have been criticized by some for providing a fake, stereotypical depiction of Paris, but in his behind-the-scenes TikTok hacks the photographer has amassed even more followers than in merely publishing the final results!

The most luxurious

Nathalie is probably the travel influencer you’ll envy the most. She posts images of herself against wonders such as Italian monuments or ancient desert ruins in flowy silk dresses like a real-life mermaid. Going from one luxury hotel to the next, it’s all infinity pools on azure coasts, and cute pigs you can pet on beaches in the Bahamas. For those who are curious, the hotels can be found in her blog’s section dedicated to those 5* establishments listed per country. You can therefore find solace in the fact that they’ll be there to consult the day you want to organize your honeymoon. In the meantime, you can keep adding new items daily to your bucket list, along with her 500k+ followers. We recommend watching her TikTok and Instagram videos for those perfect sunset vibes accompanied by soothing, peaceful music… it’s almost like we were there too for a second.

The most exciting

This is definitely the channel to follow for those dreaming of adventure. A master of film editing, each of his YouTube videos is like the trailer to a sensational, action-packed movie leaving us thirsting for more. With smooth drone sequences and suspenseful music in addition to astonishing views, Kold captures the beauty of vast natural landscapes and has a true eye for stunning details like black butterflies fluttering in the skies of Guam, for example. Beyond visually striking and seamlessly edited footage, Kold also narrates his expeditions like real explorer missions with a touch of humour. No wonder he’s one of YouTube’s most popular travel influencers.

ThisWildIdea

The most blissful.

The person behind ThisWildIdea is Theron Humphreys, a photographer inspired by his childhood growing up in the country in North Carolina. He takes Maddie everywhere with him on his cross-country and camping trips. Maddie is Theron’s best friend and dog. Wherever they go, Maddie’s loving it! (And also often dozing off; Theron’s even published a whole book full of photos of her lounging poses…). Whether it’s in a camper van, kayak or a pickup truck on the way to the great outdoors, Maddie really embodies the traveller’s doctrine of living in the present. But the bliss when she’s back at home snoozing in the comfort of soft bedsheets reminds us that travelling is also about the joys of returning home. Though Maddie’s been on many adventures, she’s still down to earth and enjoys the simple pleasures. It’s all a playground when you’re surrounded by the people you love.

Vagabrothers

The most fun brothers.

These inseparable “brothers and vagabonds” are two travel hosts with bright personalities and lots of fun energy. Marko, a writer and producer, and Alex, a filmmaker, editor and photographer, started documenting their travels in 2012. The two have kept delivering quality content weekly on YouTube and on their website with contagious enthusiasm. They believe travel brings people together as it gives a better understanding of the world’s different cultures. They are therefore especially delighted that their followers can be counted as coming from 140 different countries. Their genuine curiosity and wacky humour make for vlogs always packed full of value: historical facts, a focus on culture, travel guides and tips for travelling on a budget…

Their content is varied and, above all, a joy to watch for other aspiring globetrotters. From top destinations by themes to series and travel guides for the places they visit, the brothers invite us to take part in their fun as they discover new destinations.

Wolters World

T he most brutally honest.

Now there’s a channel that will change from the exotic, perfect-looking holiday snaps of many travel influencers. Wolters World recounts culture shocks and gives his honest tips. However, Mark is perhaps most famous for its do’s and “DON’T’s” videos which tell you how it is. Mark travels across the globe with his wife Jocelyn and their two kids. His unique style is videos that guide tourists as they navigate different cultures’ social codes. Mark’s opinions on what he loves and hates about the places he visits won’t spoil it all before you get there. Instead, they will instead help not to fall into tourist traps and make the most of the experience. If you want real traveller-to-traveller advice, you’re sure to find Mark’s videos as entertaining as they are practical.

GirlEatsWorld

The most sweet-toothed.

Simple, mouthwatering, and quirky. Admittedly, Melissa doesn’t always brandish desserts over the different landscapes she explores. For instance, you’ll find roasted corn on the hob, a mug of coffee, or stylish cocktails. Still, you’ll often find adorable desserts just as glossy as her nails. She holds up the yummy treats from the various locations she visits invitingly, just at arms length. Yet this girl does not only have an appetite for food. GirlEatsWorld is also about the stories those meals tell about their native city. Food, like a photo, is an angle into a different culture. The captions tell us how the food relates to the background view. Mel also shares more personal thoughts on her own special places. During her LA trip, she tells us about growing up there over milk and cereal ice cream in Venice Beach. You can also find more detailed accounts of the different places on her blog , along with travel guides.

8 Stylish Travel Influencers You Need to Follow Right Now

Inspiration is everywhere on Instagram—so much so that once you go down the rabbit hole, it can sometimes be impossible to put down the phone. In no category is this more true than in fashion. Each day, thousands of style “influencers” post street-style photographs and vacation pics that aim to inspire and connect followers to their feeds (and make a buck selling clothes, of course), but those that stand out have a unique aesthetic that doesn’t come from just posting #partner pics. These fashion influencers make clothes come alive against the backdrop of stunning beaches, deserts, cliff sides, and more. Here, a few of our favorite stylish travel influencers you should follow, too.

See recent posts by Katie James Watkinson

Negin Mirsalehi ( @neginmirsalehi )

The 29-year-old Dutch blogger made this year’s Europe Forbes 30 Under 30, thanks to her social media “influencer” status (she has a 4.5 million Instagram followers and reportedly makes $20,000 for sponsored posts). But don’t think that makes her a sell-out: Mirsalehi self-funds her own hair-care line, Gisou, whose primary ingredient—honey—is sourced from her family’s bee garden. She also isn’t just posting high-end labels and free clothes that get sent to her. At home in Amsterdam, Mirsalehi pairs pointed-toe Acne booties with leather pants and cozy Zara sweaters. While traveling the world with brands like Revolve, she shows off an enviable collection of Lisa Marie Fernandez and Marisya swimsuits. (And we’re always jealous of her long brown locks, which are somehow never out of place.)

https://www.instagram.com/p/BcXllfVgE05/?taken-by=negin_mirsalehi

Lee Litumbe ( @spiritedpursuit )

It’s not the clothes so much as the setting and the girl wearing them that make this Cameroonian blogger’s posts so inspiring. Litumbe is committed to storytelling from the black female perspective, and she makes both known and less-traveled destinations in Africa come alive through her lively Instagram shots. Whether she’s in a brightly hued caftan in the empty Merzouga Desert or a one-piece swimsuit on the white-sand beaches of Zanzibar, Litumbe makes the places she travels to appear both exotic and accessible.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BeRTJKdDUxm/?taken-by=spiritedpursuit

Julie Sariñana ( @sincerelyjules )

Whether at home in L.A. or jet-setting to Bali, this blogger takes her understated, cool-girl style everywhere she goes. It’s hard to tell if it’s Sariñana’s petite frame, mocha skin tone, or sly, close-lipped smile that make an ordinary look—loose-fitting jeans; crisp, white oxfords—seem extraordinary (maybe it’s the combination of all three), but she always has this envious sparkle, whether that’s heading the supermarket in cut-offs and a Lovers and Friends bodysuit, on the beach in Thailand in a Marisya high-neck one-piece, or decked out in a floor-length floral gown by Spell in Mexico.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BduZnmGAxAi/?hl=en&taken-by=sincerelyjules

Aimee Song ( @songofstyle )

As one of the original style bloggers, Song has amassed a loyal following who are inspired by her effortless daytime wardrobe and high-wattage, glamorous looks worn during fashion weeks in New York, London, Milan, and Paris. Although she wears many high-end brands (Acne Studios; Louis Vuitton; Chloé), Song strikes an attainable, high-low balance that keeps her followers coming back for more (think vintage Levis paired with crystal-embellished Manolo Blahnik sandals).

https://www.instagram.com/p/BbjxJy2D88J/?hl=en&taken-by=songofstyle

Pamela Allier ( @pamallier )

Born and raised in Mexico City, Allier gained her following the true “it” girl way—by being snapped by street-style photographers. She took her fashion status to the next level on Instagram in 2014, and quickly gained fans with her deft daytime casual style (at home in Mexico, that means everything from brunch-appropriate jeans and off-the-shoulder tops to maximalist-layering prints with simple shoes) and signature ear-to-ear grin.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BXCINbRlMGA/?hl=en&taken-by=pamallier

Camille Charrière ( @camillecharriere )

Charrière’s posts are a little quirky and irreverent, which sets her apart from the glamorous, posed shots of many Instagram-based style influencers. On vacation in Tulum, for example, she’ll wear a silk-satin dress by Off White, pulled off with effortless glam as only a Parisian could do. When she’s at home in London, Charrière sports labels you probably haven’t heard of, like E.L.V. denim, but will immediately go buy.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZ1BdTAjEY8/?hl=en&taken-by=camillecharriere

Ellie ( @slipintostyle )

It takes balls to wear what this one-name style-setter does. Case in point: a white sweatshirt paired with a floor-grazing zebra-print skirt, orange JW Anderson handbag, and New Balance running shoes (not the athleisure kind, but rather the type you wear to go hiking in the Adirondacks). However it sounds, Ellie’s mix-and-match, high-low aesthetic—frequently shot in an urban environment—exudes off-the-charts confidence.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BcfTU3DgF8X/?taken-by=slipintostyle

Aggie Lal ( @travelinhershoes )

If you’re one of those people who likes to look at pictures of far-flung beaches on Instagram, it’s time to join the #AggieTribe. Born in Poland, educated in Australia, and now based in Los Angeles, Lal is truly is a citizen of the world; her wardrobe, on the other hand, is decidedly California beach-chic—perfect when jetting to one gorgeous beach after the next.

I was born and raised in Italy. Here are 7 things I wish tourists would stop doing when they come here.

Posted: May 6, 2024 | Last updated: May 6, 2024

• I was raised in Italy , and I believe many mistakes tourists make in Italy are easily avoidable.
• Visitors should embrace the local culture through our local restaurants and water fountains. 
• It's easy to avoid overpaying for food or tours if you take the time to do your research. 

I was raised in Italy and now live in Rome — every day, I see numerous tourists making mistakes during their trips here.

Keep reading for things I wish visitors would stop doin g when they come to Italy, for their sake and the country's.

Tourists often come here with wrong expectations about how things work in Italy.

Too often, I've found that visitors have a preconceived notion of Italy being a romanticized version of their own countries and they're disappointed when it doesn't live up to sky-high expectations.

In other cases, visitors are disappointed Italy doesn't operate exactly like their country does back home. Either way, when you visit Italy , balance your expectations and ditch the need to compare our country to your home. 

Visiting Italy is a learning experience of art, history, culture, and traditions. Tourists should keep an open mind and understand that cultural differences might take them by surprise . 

Do your research and don't solely rely on advice from influencers.

I've seen a lot of TikToks lately about users complaining about how they were "lied to" by influencers who made prime Italian destinations, like the Amalfi Coast , seem unrealistically perfect. 

Every opinion counts, and it's fair for tourists to listen to what influencers have to say about a destination. However, you shouldn't solely rely on their takes. The truth is, influencers often have access to resources the average traveler doesn't, like gifted services, VIP access, or the ability to splurge on high-end perks.

With that in mind, tourists should do research across multiple channels , whether it's reading guidebooks written by locals or comparing information found in multiple articles and blog posts about the same topic.

Tourists often overpay for things, then complain about their trip being expensive.

Some visitors assume more expensive equals better quality when they compare goods and services. In reality, you should do a quick Google search to see what the average price should be for that thing in the location you're in. Also, read reviews. 

If you read on a restaurant's menu that a carbonara costs €20 and still choose to order it when you can get it just as good for €9 elsewhere, that's on you. 

Also, please avoid paying any unofficial vendor who promises they can help you skip a line at an attraction or museum. Just pay the regular ticket price and get in line like everybody else. It'll save you time and money. 

There's no need to litter or ignore waste-sorting rules.

Every day, I see tourists fail to dispose of their trash properly. 

Littering is unacceptable, not to mention illegal and disrespectful to locals. As you should do in any place on earth, hold onto your waste until you come across a trash bin.

And, if you're staying in an apartment or home rental, please don't just throw all of your trash in one bin. Take some time to try to understand our local system in Italy, where waste sorting is mandatory .

Travelers should stop buying bottled water and instead make use of our public fountains.

Speaking of trash, stop purchasing plastic water bottles when you visit. Drinking fountains are very common in Italy and, some cities here even highly encourage tourists to drink from them .

In Rome alone, there are 2,500 drinking fountains called nasoni . These historic fixtures are oftentimes serving the same water that flows through the tap in nearby houses and hotels.

I suggest carrying a reusable water bottle and refilling it at every nasone. It's free!

If you're sightseeing anywhere in Italy and get thirsty but there is no fountain in sight, open Waidy, a free phone app that can direct you to the fountains nearest you. 

Visitors are basically committing culinary sins by not exploring our food scene.

Instead of ordering dishes you can find back home, skip the fast-food chains and let your senses experience your Italian holiday to the fullest.

Support local restaurants and food vendors, which is yet another way of showing respect to locals while also authentically getting to know the culinary traditions of the place you're visiting. 

Trust me, you won't run out of options.  Italian cuisine is so broad since every region has its own specialties based on the best local produce. You could go to the same restaurant for a week and never have the same dish twice. 

Seriously, stop defacing monuments — and don't take pieces of them home with you, either.

I can't believe I have to say this, but after everything tourists have ruined this year , let me remind you it's illegal to vandalize our monuments.

Stop writing on the Colosseum or the Leaning Tower of Pisa or anywhere you shouldn't be, really. It can get you arrested, and it's incredibly disrespectful to our cultural heritage. 

Also, don't take home any artifacts or pieces of relics you might find at archaeological sites. The piece of a column from Pompeii is not yours to take, even if it's on the floor. If you want a souvenir so badly just purchase replicas or special items from nearby shops.
