A social media account, specifically on Instagram, focused on travel experiences, often displaying content that could be perceived as provocative, risqu, or unconventional compared to mainstream travel photography and narratives. Such accounts typically feature images and videos from various destinations, but with a stylistic emphasis on individual expression that pushes against established boundaries of travel content. An example might include a feed showcasing solo female travel with an open discussion on body positivity, self-love and the freedom of exploration, using visuals that some might deem “naughty”.
The significance of these kinds of accounts lies in their potential to challenge conventional norms of travel representation and inspire diverse perspectives. They can create communities for individuals who identify with less-represented viewpoints in the travel sphere. Historically, travel media has often presented idealized or sanitised versions of travel experiences. These accounts counter this tendency by offering alternative viewpoints and narratives.
