Getting more from these captions

Mind the 150-character limit
Keep the bio within Instagram's 150 characters: your travel style, a place and one personal line.
Mention where you are based
People ask 'where are you from?' in every comment. One line saves the question.
Add a highlight for each trip
Story highlights by destination work like a travel guide and show your depth.
Keep the tone honest
Real costs, real mistakes and real bad weather make a travel bio more believable than perfect sunsets.

Questions

What should a traveller put in an Instagram bio?

Your travel style, where you've been or are going, and how often you post. A quick line about budget or solo trips helps.

Should I list countries visited?

Only if the count says something about your style. A number can look like bragging if it isn't backed by stories.

Can I use emojis for places?

A flag or a mountain can help, but keep to one or two and let the words explain your style.
