*NEW Linky*
I am so excited to launch a new weekly feature at Skimbaco Lifestyle and a new weekly Linky called
Instagram Travel Thursday with a few fellow traveling lifestyle bloggers.
What is a linky?
Linky is a link collection that anyone can participate in. Scroll down to the bottom of this post and you will be able to find a link collection widget where you can add YOUR blog post about Instagram travel.
I’m so thankful for the positive feedback I have received about my book
Instagram as your Guide to the World – How, What and Who to Search and Follow on Instagram to Help You Travel the World and I’m thrilled to hear how many people are now using Instagram as their travel guide.
I wanted to continue about the topic of Instagram travel and asked some of the travel bloggers who are also featured in my book to join me. While many people have found great instagrammers to follow on adventure, solo travel and luxury travel side, the feedback I have received that it is not as easy to find family travel tips on Instagram that give travel information instead just traveling parents posting photos of their children. I get that – as a mom I like to post pictures of my kids too! I invited some fellow global moms for the Instagram Travel Thursday to share a little light to family travel experts on Instagram. Stay tuned for a feature of some great traveling dads on Instagram as well – or write about the topic yourself!
I, together with six other global moms, will be posting about topics where Instagram and traveling intersect and we would like to invite you to join us. Read the rules for
Instagram Travel Thursday and get some topic ideas to spark your interest and write your own post and join us.

Katja Presnal – that’s me. I have been living a nomadic lifestyle for 16 years and lived in 4 countries and 7 states in the USA with my family. I love luxury travel as much as the other ladies, but not traveling isn’t an option for me, and I don’t mind roughing it every now as long as I can travel. Raising global citizens is also important to me – my three children were actually all born in different countries. I used to write for many other sites as well and have a career in PR and social media marketing, but now I really just want to spread the word about Skimbaco, about enjoying life, and bring the global inspirations for you to experience at home as well.
