I can’t believe I’ve gotten so efficient at capturing all of my travel content on my iPhone 13. You can too! Here are my 5 tips as an avid solo traveler, with her tripod bestfriend [SAVE THIS] ✨ 📸 🎥

1. Get a stabilizer for your phone to avoid shaky footage. If your hand is shaking, the footage is going to reflect that. So you absolutely need to start here. I’ve linked mine on my Amazon storefront for easy access — link in my bio.

2. Shoot on ‘Live’ mode. Always. Then what you want to do is stand still and shoot 30 frames if necessary. Then edit the frame from ‘Live’ mode to ‘Long Exposure’ for a moving background. You can also change to whichever frame you prefer when you shoot on live mode.

3. Reduce the brightness of your phone immediately before you start shooting. (Tap the screen a few times and the light icon will pop up. Scroll down on the line icon to decrease it). That is going to define your object (you are the object in this case) more without letting in extra light all over. You’re basically controlling the aperture. It’s easier to add in more light on an editing app than removing it.

4. Change your video to ‘4K. 60fps.’ This drastically improves the quality of the video output because it’s one of the higher quality settings. You can’t afford to shoot on anything else, as these content apps will naturally reduces the quality of your content. Give yourself a winning chance.

5. Get a tripod and a remote clicker. This is my go to as a traveler who simply enjoys crispy content. Solo traveling or not, I sometimes do shooting sessions on my own because I have the vision for my content. Also, it doesn’t strain your relationship when you can shoot your content without burdening whoever you’re traveling with. I’ve linked mine in my Amazon storefront for easy access.

If you have any other tips, please share below ⬇️💚

Happy 1-month and 6 days anniversary to the day I meant to post these photos — My actual birthday (April 19th)

Birthdays are even more special when you can attach wonderful memories to them. Here’s to year 30, and a prayer for anyone who turns a year older this year;

“The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” Amen.

P.S. I showed up to the restaurant in this outfit, and it just happened to be empty. It felt like I had rented out the restaurant right on the bay. The vibes were absolutely immaculate, as I thought I was dining in the South of France. Our waitress even brought us shots because I was the moment. Imagine not bringing the drama for such an iconic birthday, I can’t. Cheers to class and sass all year long.

When in doubt, travel for your birthday.

Bonjour from Saint Martin 🇦🇮

St Martin and Saint Maarten are one island that two countries share, separated by the north and south territories. The island was actually split in 1648.

St Martin is on the French side of the island, located in the North, while St Maarten is on the Dutch side in the South of the island.

The official language of St Martin is French. Many signs around the island are written in French. However, English and Creole are also spoken throughout the island.

As a French girl, I’m excited to called St Martin home for the next 7 days!

A new era ✨

One where I have a lot more confidence to share day-to-day memories, even when I’m not ‘traveling.’ This month was filled with so much love right here at home — Is it okay if I share that with you as well?

Here are some snapshots of a mini celebration for the Big 30! My girlfriend took me out to celebrate and I was feeling so self conscious because I’m a little more round (hips don’t lie). Also, I’m learning how to do my makeup so I’m always nervous to find out if I didn’t blend properly. God, did everyone love on me. I was completely shocked. The bartender at even made a drink to match my jumpsuit. How kind?!

I pray that you are a lot more kind to yourself, as I’m trying to be. It looks like I live a glamorous life always traveling. I do travel quite often, for —the brand. However, I also enjoy intimate moments back at home with the people that mean the world to me.

I hope you can feel comfortable sharing more of who you are on the internet. The internet can be a cruel place but authenticity is the realest thing you can offer your community.

This is me. When I’m not traveling, I’m eating in my favorite city, D.C. I’m trying new cuisines, hiking up a storm, enjoying weekend cabin trips, camping at vineyards (they have to kick me out for me to go home) and living my truth. I hope I can start sharing some of that with you even if I’m not slaying the gram.
