Hi Shannon, I couldn’t agree more about Insta and FB. They encourage us to exaggerate our lives and make them look better than they are for instant gratification.

I have to use them for my travel blog, but I try not to post overly positive posts. The world is not sunshine and rainbows as we now know. I think a dose of reality is healthy now and again.

Glad you enjoyed my article and that you found it interesting. I think it came from a sense of being let down. I remember seeing all these posts about digital nomad lifestyles and thinking it looked great. However, the reality for me was very different when I became one for six months.

I’m sure other people enjoy the lifestyle, but it wasn’t for me.
