Welcome To My Travel Channel!

In my pursuit to explore all things travel, I’ve delved into another platform… the world of YouTube!

As I gain more experience and crack the code of iMovie and HD cameras I will be uploading videos regularly, in addition to my blog posts. My video content will be a mix of first hand footage and photos of my experiences. You can expect themes like: Beauty & Fashion Tips, Product & Service Reviews, Day Trip Suggestions, & Event Coverage.

I’m even toying with a second channel, Candid Moments, which will offer a more behind the scenes, impromptu, day-in-the-life vlog style content. More on this later…

Please subscribe so you don’t miss the latest travel content on Meghan’s Guilty Pleasures Travel Blog. Join the conversation and join the community – new videos weekly!

In the comment section below, leave me your YouTube channel info and I’ll be sure to check it out.

Thanks guys,

 

Pinterest Collective: Autumn Travel Fashion

The temperature’s starting to drop, thicker, heavier, and richly colored pieces are starting to catch your eye, and there’s the faintest hint of a seasonal buzz in the air.  It’s officially Autumn!

I am elated to share that a shiny new iMac has joined my family!  While I’m organizing and getting my digital life in order, I thought it would be a great opportunity to share some Autumn travel fashion ideas.  

I love the idea of capsule wardrobes and tight color palettes for travel.  Less is definitely more!

I have such an indulgent soft spot for travel illustrations.

Pinterest Collective: Travel Photography & International Architecture

Feast your eyes on my latest additions to my Pinterest Collective!

I am intrigued and drawn into the lovingly composed travel shots and the craftsmanship and history of international architecture.  

Can you imagine strolling through the woods in Vail?  

Can you envision yourself meandering through the fairy lit gardens of a French palace?

Can you see yourself basking in the artistic and ornately detailed architecture of a Portuguese Monastery?

I know I can…

What have you seen lately that’s stopped you in your tracks?

Travel Photography – Pinterest Collective (3/1 – 3/13)

These shots are SO inspiring.

Can’t you picture yourself traipsing along the cobble stones of Versailles, peeking through a historic arch at St. Marks, or gazing at the natural splendor of Sund, Norway?

I’ve come across a few really striking and moody pics that I had to share with you. 

What catches your eye?

Pinterest Collective – Travel Photography

Hi Guys,

I wanted to share a few travel shots that I have been loving this week.  Travel is such a great opportunity to experiment with shots, filters, compositions, mood, & light.  Who knows, you might surprise yourself! 

It’s also a great addition to your decor.  Set aside an impressive shot, blow it up, frame it, and find just the right spot in your home to showcase it.  It becomes a sentimental tangible memento.

Be sure to leave a link to a photography board or shot in the comment section below that’s inspired you lately.

Check out my Pinterest Board if you’d like to take a peek at a few other Travel Photography shots.

Enjoy your weekend,
