Ok, now let’s get started!
1. The Heart of Storytelling: Emotion
Stories that evoke emotions are the ones that linger in the minds of your audience. Make sure you include plenty of real life experiences as well as vulnerability if you want deeper and faster connections made.
Sharing Authentic Emotions
From the sheer joy of discovery to the challenges of travel with kids, share your authentic emotions to create a bond with your followers. We know this can be intimidating, especially on instagram where it looks like everyone's life is perfect. But we promise, it's so worth it.
2. Make Your Characters Shine
Your family is the star of your travel narratives. Start thinking of yourself and your family as the main character in the narrative of your online business.
Bringing Your Family to Life in Stories
Delve into each family member’s unique experiences, personalities, and reactions to different travel situations to add depth to your stories. Especially as you are trying t find your voice and the stories you want to tell. This will help you speed up the process and your audience connect with your family.

Painting Vivid Pictures
Use descriptive language to recreate your travel settings, enabling your followers to visualize your experiences. We are told to take photos and make videos, but don't underestimate the power of well told stories.
