We live in an era of global travel: in 2015, the most recent year on record, there were 1.2 billion tourist arrivals recorded around the world. These travelers took to the skies, visiting friends and relatives, traveling for business, and seeking new experiences. While these trips used to interrupt our social lives, we are now more connected than ever. This has led to a constant documentation of our travels, which we broadcast in real-time to social networks of friends and “friends.” These highly stylized representations of our experiences are entertaining, but they are also misleading, presenting narrative as truth. The reality of our global experience is much too complex and nuanced for any photo or video to do it justice.
