My Favorite Hashtags to Gain Likes and Organically Grow Your Instagram

I remember when I first started using Instagram. It seems like forever ago now. The whole hashtag thing was a bit mysterious to me. I worked in marketing and social media, so I understood that a hashtag could lead people directly to others using the same hashtag. But I didn't quite get how hashtagging would work for me. Oh sure, I used a hashtag here and there. But they were never really … [Read more...] about My Favorite Hashtags to Gain Likes and Organically Grow Your Instagram

  • One year ago TODAY Michael and I packed up our two suitcases, dogs, and tearfully waved goodbyes to our family and friends in Dallas to MOVE to a country we'd never set foot in. I don't think I'd ever felt so nervous and excited. I remember sitting on the airport floor holding Millie in my lap and stoking Hugo's head thinking: "Is this really going to work out?" Here we are one year later with visas (even though it was a hard journey), a place to live, friends, and a love for Germany and all the places we've explored. Time has flown by and I can't wait to see what this next year holds. Thank you ALL for being part of our journey. I can't tell you how much it means to me. #helyeahheidelberg #helenelovesgermany #sulakids
  • Have you ever had an experience or place that totally took you by surprise? That was me today. First, we headed to a Swedish Bath. I was not about it. The thought of getting butt naked with a bunch of other women in a sauna sounded terrible. Plus I was feeling extra self conscious. But I did it. And as I jumped, naked, into the Baltic Sea I couldn't help but feel totally free. I wasn't thinking about anyone looking at my body or judging me. I just felt the adrenaline of being in the sea and then hopping in a hot sauna. Then last night I came up to @storyhotels to catch a glimpse before the sun set. I was dragging and tired but made the trek up. Then saw this. A bright, purple-orange sky setting just beyond the Turning Torso (the tallest building in Scandinavia.) Some times you just have to take the chance, jump naked, head up to the top, and make the memories. They are usually worth it. #storyhotels #helenetravels #heleneloveseurope #storyhotel
  • Where am I?! Not The Netherlands. This lovely windmill is in Sweden! 🇸🇪 I'm smitten with Malmö y'all. Just a short train ride over the water from Denmark lies Sweden. And the town of Malmö is so cute, windmills and all. #heleneloveseurope #helenetravels
