Structuring travel highlights

Travel stories pile up fast. Structure turns them into a guide you and your followers can use.

  • One circle per trip

    Name it with the place and the year. The row then reads like a passport.

  • Add a stay and food circle

    Hotels, homestays and meals are the parts friends ask about. Put them in their own circle with names.

  • Save before they expire

    Add stories to the highlight at the end of each day. Reconstructing a trip from memory later rarely works.

Getting more from these captions

  • One highlight per trip

    Name it after the place and year, then add stories as you go so you don't have to sort photos later.

  • Use the best landscape photo as the cover

    A wide shot crops into the circle better than a selfie. Keep the horizon near the middle.

  • Save stories before they expire

    Stories disappear after 24 hours, so add each one to the highlight that night, not weeks later.

Questions

Should I add highlights during the trip or after?

During is easier. You remember the names of places and the best shots are still on the phone.

How long can a travel highlight be?

A highlight can hold many stories, but around twenty slides is where most viewers stop tapping.

Should I tag the place on every story?

A location sticker helps people find the spot. For private homestays, leave the exact address out.

How many stories should a trip highlight hold?

Ten to twenty is plenty. Viewers drop off after that, so keep the strongest frames and cut repeats.

Is it safe to post my trip live?

Posting after you have left a place is safer than posting in real time, especially for a home left empty. Save the stories to your highlight once you are back.

Should I name highlights in English or the local language?

English is easiest for most followers. A local word for the place, such as Pahaad or Samundar, can add flavour if it is short and clear.
