Episode #5 - Geotagging, Social Media, and Sharing Your Travel
In today’s episode, we discuss geo-tagging, social media, and a few safety tips you should consider when sharing pictures while traveling. When we share pictures of our travels, we are sharing a lot of information, even if we don’t realize it. While sharing your travel experiences through social media is an enjoyable and important part of going abroad, sharing too much information about yourself, your trip, or your location can be a problem. This episode will give you a few things to think about before you share that next picture.
