Mr. Love and I had our hearts set on an adventurous honeymoon. We left the beach and the heat behind and took a trip back in time to an era where technology was of little relevance, which left me, a tech junkie by all means- feeling a little uneasy at first to later on unveil one of the most self- elevating experiences one could ever delve into. Here is a diary in Peru. by Mona Karaoui Month: End of...

![I struggled to choose a caption for this image because they say that you are what you share on social media, and so, I wanted to make it count.
Being a 'blogger' or a 'traveler' has changed significantly over the past few years. You can’t go on Instagram without stumbling upon hundreds of carefully selected, beautifully crafted images.
The truth is, today, things are not the same as they used to be. Travel has changed and grown. The internet has given us a chance to see the world through people's eyes and to dream of places many of us never even knew existed.
But social media has also changed travel and the nature of blogging. Sharing my travel online has today somewhat been a constant pressure and the staging of every single photo has become the business of every instagrammer.
I have felt the pressure of keeping up and carefully selecting what I chose to share.
I've even promised myself that I would be a leader, not a follower, and stay far away from online traveling trends that would warp my ability to offer my readers the very best & honest tips and insider reports.
The key...is confidence... I had the chance to make every possible mistake and figure out a way to always recover from it. Once you realize that there is life after a mistake, you gain your confidence and that, never goes away,
It goes straight to the heart and once you have that, no one and nothing can take that away from you . . I hope I’ll always have the courage to live a life that’s true to who I am and not the life that others expect of me... 💕[Click link in bio to read the full article] 💕.](http://scontent-sjc2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s320x320/sh0.08/e35/c0.135.1080.1080/21373823_662059130656487_3200545646851391488_n.jpg "I struggled to choose a caption for this image because they say that you are what you share on social media, and so, I wanted to make it count.
