When did views become the metric for value?

Somewhere along the way, we started measuring a destination’s “success” by how viral it goes. How many saves. How many reels. How fast it trends.

But popularity doesn’t equal meaning.
And virality doesn’t equal value.

If a place is only considered “successful” once it’s blown up on social media… what are we actually rewarding?

In this episode of Put the Guidebook Down, I talk about the problems of calling things hidden”hidden gems” and the problems of letting social media dictate vitality. 

🎧 Listen to the full conversation on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube today. 

How do you define a destination’s success? ⬇️

Observe their surroundings, taking in cultural cues and respectfully joining in the wedding celebration. 

No jokes here, just respect :)

“Hidden gems” are ruining travel.

Because the second we label somewhere a hidden gem… it stops being hidden.

Algorithms reward exposure. 
Travel culture rewards discovery. 
And suddenly, the quiet café, the family-run guesthouse, the small village viewpoint is flooded, filtered, and packaged for mass consumption.

We say we want authenticity.
But we keep chasing virality.

Do you agree or is sharing these places how we support them? Let’s talk. ⬇️

And then figure how tf I’m getting back up 😅

Travel changed how I think about ambition. 

I’m still very ambitious and care about my career, but I care just as much about balance, freedom, and building a life that actually feels good to live.

The ladder I’m climbing just looks different.
