As a photographer, I’m a very visual person when it comes to planning trips. I’d like to know what I would see in a destination I’m visiting, hence it would give me an idea what to expect from a trip in terms of sceneries I would shoot. That way I would know what to bring as well. Pinterest has been one of my platform for collecting travel inspirations and ideas and organizing them efficiently. It’s a visual bookmarking platform to discover and save creative ideas. The Philippines now has a growing community of Pinterest users from travel, lifestyle and food. So it’s a good time to Pin it Pinas!
My Pinterest Ways
I’ve been a member of Pinterest for more than two years now and had starting pinning images and ideas on my boards. On how I use it on my niche on travel?
- Collection of Images and Posts. It’s a great way to collect special interest topics like a collections of Waterfalls in the Philippines or White Sand Beaches destination. Nothing can beat visual enticement to visit a place. Pins can also have corresponding maps so people can know where the places are located.
- Trip Planning. Pinterest boards can be set to either public or private. If you don’t want people to see where you are planning to visit (for some reason) you can set boards to private and build it with pins from different resources.
- Anything Under the Sun. Pinterest is for everyone. If you have a new home and are getting ideas for decorating them, there’s a slew of home inspiration there. As for me, I like collect some gear, travel apparels, books I like to read and everything else.
