A little bit of Influencing and Traveling

Good caption right ? Lol I hope so. We were so happy to get to visit our family in the Bahamas. The last time we were able to see my husbands family was Christmas 2019. A long time ago to me lol. We planned to visit a few times last year, but with everything that happened in 2020, it was very difficult. So in the mean time Florida became our go to place. One of my dreams has always been to travel to as many places as I can. I'm always telling my grandma that " God made one world, why not go and see it before you get to heaven"? After 2020, she's now thinking about it lol. You're probably wondering, how was traveling ?

Before Travel: We had to ....

1. Test negative for Covid at least 5 days before traveling

2. Apply for a Bahamas Health Visa https://travel.gov.bs/

3. And of course pack !!

During Travel:

1. Mid way into our trip, test negative for Covid

After Traveling back home:

1. Self Quarantine 7 days, test negative one more time lol !

This may seem like a lot, but I'm telling you that it was worth it! While we were traveling, you got to really see how crazy this pandemic has made people. Some people had no idea about the health visa, others didn't want to wear masks, and some treated the workers so awful it was embarrassing.

How do I prepare to blog during traveling?

It was so exciting getting to warmer weather! One of my favorite things about traveling is getting to take so many photos that I get to share with you ! As a blogger, influencer there are a few things that I consider when packing for a destination...

1. Where am I going?

2. What's the weather like ?

3. What's the current season?

4. What type of content do I need ?

My husband thinks it's crazy, but i usually start packing about 1 month before leaving, because I end up forgetting things. Can you relate?

(Below I have included a link to the outfit shown above )

How do I make time to get content?

I usually only pick a day or 2 to take photos and gather content. I try to minimize it as much as I can, so that I can enjoy my trip! I usually have already pre-packed for any collaborations that I have coming up, as well as some random outfits for random posts. Unless a brand is flying you somewhere, your entire trip should never be about work. Good planning, organization and 1-2 days of getting content is all you need.

What if I don't have any collaborations ?

Just take some random picks. Especially if you are in a beautiful place. It's always good to collect random photos for when you don't have any lol. As an influencer or blogger I can't begin to tell you the number of times now I take photos that will not be posted until next year. It's good to have something to be able to pull from for when you have nothing at all. I'll touch more on this another time, but hope you get the point :)

To the right is a link that will direct you in applying for the Bahamas health visa after receiving your negative Covid test.

These are just a few of my tips and shares. I'll definitely share more in the future.
