Pro tip: My sunset pic from a cliff in Ireland sparked #ViewVibes
I posted a photo from a cliff walk in County Clare last month. Used #ViewVibes just to mark the spot. It got popular fast because people love easy tags for beautiful places. Seeing it catch on with other travelers made my day.
That tag really works for finding great spots. Got a similar shot on the Oregon coast last year, all orange and pink sky over the water. Tossed it online with a simple tag and suddenly had folks asking exactly where it was. Makes it easy to find those places again later too. Kind of cool how a simple tag can connect people to a view.
Tbh, I'm not convinced tags are that helpful for avoiding crowds. Honestly, they often do the opposite by drawing everyone to the same place. It's just a label that makes spots trend online, then they get overrun. Ngl, I've seen quiet areas get packed because of a popular tag. It feels like we're putting too much weight on something simple. Why act like it's a big solution when it usually adds to the problem?
