#DOITFORTHEGRAM – Avoid the Holiday Spam Cliches This Summer

Forget the hotdog legs on a tropical beach or the obligatory selfie at a tourist hotspot, plan this summer's adventures based on the most envy inducing #humblebrag opportunities that'll stand out among your followers' feeds

Use your imagination and explore the wonderful offerings that aren’t too far from your doorstep!
