What’s one app on your phone you literally cannot travel without? I need recommendations cuz my last trip I was running on Google Translate and prayers 😭

Normalize not knowing what you’re doing and figuring it out as you go. That’s literally how I planned my entire Japan trip and it turned out to be the best month of my life.

What’s something you used to be scared of that you just do now without thinking? For me it was eating alone at restaurants. Now I literally prefer it 😭

If a brand offers you a free trip but no money for your content, that's not a deal. That's a vacation with homework. Know your worth before you hop on that call cuz these brands absolutely got the budget. They just hoping you don't ask for it 💰

Fodor's put out a whole list of places y'all need to stop going to in 2026. Bali, Machu Picchu, Mexico City, parts of Paris. These places are TIRED and the locals are protesting. Go somewhere that actually needs the tourism money 🤷🏿‍♀️

Honestly my best meals in Japan weren't even at restaurants. They were convenience store onigiri at 2 AM after jet lag completely destroyed my entire schedule. The unplanned stuff always ends up making the best content and I stand by that.

Got this message from someone on today.... I'm gonna cry 🥺

Tourism boards really out here hiring AI influencers now. Fake people promoting real destinations. Honestly what's even the point 💀

PSA if you take ADHD meds. CHECK if your medication is legal in the country you're visiting BEFORE you fly. Some countries will put you in prison for your prescription. I left my Adderall at home for a whole month in Japan cuz it's illegal there 😭

Black creators been the blueprint for the entire internet. Now agencies finally talking about ownership and equity instead of just throwing us a check. We want the bag AND the seat at the table. The shift is happening 👏🏿

Kids followed me from KFC to McDonald's in Japan just to WATCH ME EAT. I ordered 13 things. The rating is going to upset people 💀🍟

March is done and Q1 really said "good luck with the rest of the year" 😭 But lowkey? I'm excited. Spring trips getting booked. Content ideas flowing. The creator space is shifting in a way that benefits people like us. April, let's go 🙌🏿

Packing tip that saved me so much stress. Roll, don't fold. And stop packing "just in case" outfits. You're not wearing that backup dress. You know it. Your suitcase knows it. One pair of shoes that goes with everything. Your back will thank you at hour 6 of walking 🫠

Q1 is basically over and this year is moving scary fast. Some goals hit. Some didn't even get started. That's fine cuz the ones that happened were the ones I actually cared about, not the ones I wrote down because I thought I should. What did you accomplish this quarter? 💃🏿

Saturday energy is sitting in bed way too long knowing you have stuff to do but choosing peace instead ✨ No content. No strategy. No emails. Phone is on do not disturb. Y'all being productive or choosing chaos today? 😂

Singapore just got named the #1 culture destination for 2026 and it deserves it. The food alone would be enough to book a flight. It beat out Bali this year. BALI. That's how you know it's serious. Who's been? Tell me where to eat first 🍜

Travel pet peeve that'll get me in trouble but I don't care. If you play a video on your phone out loud at the airport gate, you're a menace. Headphones cost $5. There's literally a store right there in the terminal 😭 What's your #1 travel pet peeve?

Micro-creators are quietly eating and I love to see it 👏🏿 92% of marketers are planning to work with micro AND macro influencers this year. Brands want real engagement from real communities now. If your following is "too small" to pitch, this is your sign to stop waiting.

Nobody talks about how awkward it is to film yourself in public alone 😭 Set your phone up like you're taking a photo. Use a tiny tripod. Walk with purpose. The second you look unsure someone's gonna ask if you need help. Solo creators, what's your move?

Spring said "new phone who dis" and honestly I'm here for it 🌸 Something about this season makes me wanna book a flight and start fresh. That quiet reset energy where everything feels possible again. Y'all feeling it too? 🤷🏿‍♀️

TikTok launched a feature where creators earn commissions off travel bookings now 😭 We went from "get a real job" to the travel industry literally needing us to sell their destinations. The people they laughed at are now getting paid to travel. Wild.

Airfare prices are going UP and nobody's talking about it enough 📈 Oil prices climbing. Airlines passing it to us. If you're planning summer trips, book NOW. Google Flights price alerts are free. Credit card points sitting there unused? That's free flights. Use them.

I finally tried KFC in Japan. I was NOT ready. Japan has the best food on Earth. So I tried their KFC. My rating might get me banned from the country 💀🍗

Made a Reddit community. r/OoeyGooee. Real conversations without the algorithm deciding who sees what. Behind the scenes, travel breakdowns, and whatever y'all wanna talk about. Come through 👋🏿 reddit.com/r/OoeyGooee

Black travelers contributed $149 BILLION to US tourism and y'all still can't put us in the marketing photos? 🤔 That's not a niche market. That's a massive economic force. We're building our own table cuz y'all keep forgetting to set us a seat 💅🏿

Hey hey! Let’s connect on LinkedIn 👋🏿 I’m starting to post creator tips, brand deal breakdowns, and things I’ve learned building my content career from scratch. If that’s your kind of energy, come connect with me over there. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ooey-gooee-a53494341/

10 reasons you NEED to visit Japan and I promise you're not ready for this list 🇯🇵🔥

When my suitcase weighs 52 lbs and I'm standing at the counter like "that's basically 50" 🤷🏿‍♀️ The math I do at airport check in would get me hired at NASA I swear.

Brands will offer you a $15,000 trip and then say "but the budget for your fee is $200." Bro 💀 The trip IS NOT the payment. Your content and audience is what they're buying. The industry is hitting $34B this year. Know your worth.

"12 cities in 7 days" trips are honestly unhinged and y'all need to stop glorifying them 😭 Slow travel is trending for a reason. Stay somewhere longer. Find where locals actually eat. You'll spend less AND remember more.

Happy Saturday y'all 💃🏿 hope everyone's out here enjoying their weekend!

A random man helped me find a love hotel in Tokyo, took me to a low key strip club, then tried to convert me to Islam over Indian food I woke up to scripture in my messages I stayed for the naan tho 🍛 LMAO #TravelStory #Tokyo #SoloTravel youtube.com/shorts/X_eDc...

I got roofied in Spain at 18, crawled up marble stairs, then got abandoned after midnight by my "friend" who already knew the city was dangerous for women. 🙂 Bad Friends Abroad ep. 1 is out. #BadFriendsAbroad #TravelStory #StudyAbroad #Spain youtube.com/shorts/eJg4M...

The moment I stopped worrying about how I looked, I started loving how I felt. That shift changed everything 🩵 #Day 7

Some days the win is simply liking who you see. Day# 6

I’ve learned that growth doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes it looks like resting at a level you worked hard to reach. #Day 5
