2017 in Review: 10 Top Instagram Posts

I have a love-hate relationship with Instagram. It’s one of my favorite social medias for browsing upcoming places and getting inspiration for upcoming trips. I also love the ability to upload a picture and tell a small story about it. However, it’s an incredibly difficult platform to gain traction on. I’ve had my personal Instagram account for years and love just throwing up a random picture whenever I want. The business account though? A whole lot more work. Instagram is most definitely a numbers game when it comes to everything from likes to comments to followers. So to roundup 2017 I’ve put together a post of my 10 Top Instagram Posts for the year! Check them out below to get a bit of an insight into what worked well for me on Instagram this year.

Trying really hard not to get killed while running back and forth across the streets of Nottinghill. Can't decide which side I like the best but I think the lighter colours of the left side probably win over. What do you guys think? . . . . . . . . . . . . #mytorontomyworld #nottinghill #architecture #paintedhouses #visitlondon #thisislondon #londoncalling #igerslondon #iglondon #lovelondon #londoncity #toplondonphoto #london_only #prettylittlelondon #timeoutlondon #england #britain #visitengland #visitbritain #seetheworld #travelingtheworld #darlingescapes #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #girlsborntotravel #wanderlust #instatravel #travelgram

Looking back on Greece pictures only to realize I've been back home for 2 months already but only gotten 1 out of the 7 planned blog posts out. I'm pretty bad at this. I find if I don't write about a trip right away I procrastinate like there's no tomorrow. Hence you haven't seen any blog posts on Montreal, Mexico, Alberta or London yet. And that's only this year. How do you organize your blog or instagram posts if you're in the field? Do you blitz through all your planned posts for a trip or do you spread them out over a few months? Let me know please! Also, just dream yourself away to palm trees and blue skies like I am! ☀️? Ps. Does this even look like Greece?? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #mytorontomyworld #nafplio #greece #visitgreece #greecestagram #lovegreece #travelgreece #ig_greece #travel #igtravel #travelgram #instapassport #instatraveling #mytravelgram #passionpassport #exploretocreate #travelmore #touroftheworld #seemore #travelbloggers #travelblog #fodorsonthego #bbctravel #wanderlust #pixeltheplanet #ilovetravel #travelporn #sheisnotlost #femmetravel #dametraveler

Holy icecream cones. So, I don't post too many food pictures for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I eat out wayyyyyy too often and so do not want to be judged for that. Secondly, looking at my food pictures makes me suuuuper hungry. But one of the biggest reasons I advocate for people to come visit Toronto is really the food. It's insane how much variety we have and just how amazing the food is! With that being said I've got some special blog posts I'm working on which means you'll totally get to see way more of the fantastic Toronto food scene! ps. How amazing are these charcoal icecream cones?? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #mytorontomyworld #ihalokrunch #seetorontonow #igerstoronto #tdot #streetsoftoronto #imagesoftoronto #1loveTO #hypetoronto #toronto_insta #toronto #the6 #the6ix #416 #narcitytoronto #blogto #dailyhivetoronto #foodporn #foodstagram #foodies #instafood #torontofood #torontoeats #food #fooddiary #foodgasm #foodpics #foodlover #foodoftheday #foodphotography

Can you guys tell I absolutely loved Nottinghill?

Have you checked out the Toronto Christmas Market at the Distillery District yet? It's as stunning as ever and with the beautiful light tunnel that got added I thought it was about time I got a blog post up on one of my favourite Toronto Traditions. This shot of the giant tree decorated with over 40,000 lights is just a sneak peak! Keep an eye out for the post in the next few days.? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #mytorontomyworld #tcm2017 #torontochristmasmarket #toxmasmkt #christmasmarket #torontochristmasmarket2017 #seetorontonow #blogto #narcitytoronto #toronto #exploretoronto #mytoronto #lovetoronto #torontoigers #torontobloggers #canada #canada150 #canadaday #tourcanada #thecanadiancollective #imagesofcanada #canadagem #travelcanada #localtravel #darlingescapes #letsgosomewhere #lovetotravel #traveldiary #explore #instatravel

It's up!! My second post in my Toronto Traditions series focuses on the Toronto Christmas Market and it's pretty much a complete guide to the market filled with way too many pictures (I loved them all and couldn't narrow it down!). Go check it out and let me know what you think! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #mytorontomyworld #tcm2017 #torontochristmasmarket #toxmasmkt #christmasmarket #torontochristmasmarket2017 #seetorontonow #blogto #narcitytoronto #toronto #exploretoronto #mytoronto #lovetoronto #torontoigers #torontobloggers #canada #canada150 #canadaday #tourcanada #thecanadiancollective #imagesofcanada #canadagem #travelcanada #localtravel #darlingescapes #letsgosomewhere #lovetotravel #traveldiary #explore #instatravel

Yum! All those pastries. Thinking back on the food is seriously making my mouth water. You haven't missed my latest post on the Afternoon Tea Bus tour I did in London have you? I bet your mouth will be watering afterwards too!

Sipping on some earl grey tea while having afternoon tea on a double decker bus is definitely one of my travel highlights of the year. Almost fooled myself into thinking I was British! I've got a brand new post up all about the experience! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #mytorontomyworld #afternoontea #bbakery #visitlondon #thisislondon #londoncalling #igerslondon #iglondon #lovelondon #londoncity #toplondonphoto #london_only #prettylittlelondon #timeoutlondon #visitengland #visitbritain #seetheworld #travelingtheworld #darlingescapes #girlslovetravel #wearetravelgirls #dametraveler #sheisnotlost #girlsborntotravel #wanderlust #instatravel #travelgram #instapassport #instatraveling #mytravelgram

Not too surprised that my more recent ones have more like since the account is now (hopefully) growing! Lots of love for the Christmas posts as well which was a little bit surprising. I figured the afternoon tea on the double-decker bus would be popular given how cool of an event it was.
