What do you collect when you travel?, a blog reader once asked. I laughed on the inside as I typed my reply because, honestly, I collect nothing but memories. I buy things - fridge magnets, Starbucks' tumblers and whatnot - but I tend to give all those to my family and friends when I get home. Hence, I only have photographs encrusted with good ol' memories for myself and I'm totally okay with it.
But last year, I noticed something with my travel photos. They all look so basic! It's either I stand straight in an overly photographed spot or I pinch the tip of a famous monument. Take for example my photo op with Taj Mahal! Arrrgh! How cliche! I couldn't help but tell myself, "You can do better than that!" whenever I see it.

I thought it would be nice to do something unconventional next time. I want to make my treasure trove aka travel photo collection more visually appealing. And it turned out that a sprinkle of creative dust is all I need. Thus, a signature travel pose was born!
A lot of Filipino Bloggers in the UAE have their own travel poses as well. I guess, we all agree that there should be more to a travel photo than simply being in it! So, here's a round up of the signature travel blogger poses that I love.
#FromWhereISelfied of @CallMeDivi
Divi is fashion, travel and beauty blogger based in Dubai.
She documents her solo travels in a very unique way.

#TheHighFiveJump of Ed and Lady
Our signature pose is a fusion of two things we usually do when we travel; jump shot and high five! We often do the latter behind the camera whenever we reach a destination without getting lost! :)
Hence, doing #TheHighFiveJump is another way of saying
"Good job, forever travel buddy! Cheers to more happy travels together!"
