Travel blogger showed the "inside out" of her work, proving that Instagram is a big cheat

In this age of social networks and the constant exchange of photographs, everyone should know that not everything is as it seems.

Carolyn Stritch, a 32-year-old UK traveler, stunned 190,000 of her subscribers by showing how she tricked them into proving her point. "I came up with a fictional story and took fake photos to show the effects of these images."- says the Englishwoman.

"I made up a story: my perfect double, who is 10 years younger than me, flies to Disneyland for one day and somehow manages to take a picture alone in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle"- writes Carolyn. The girl took two fake pictures and, supplementing them with a fictional story, passed it off as reality. She shared an idyllic picture of herself in bed, announcing a fast trip, and the next day she posted a photo at Disneyland. In the picture, she stands alone in front of the Sleeping Beauty Castle. And people believed her.

Thus, the blogger wants to explain that Instagram is a place where you can escape from reality, demonstrating your improved "I". “Nobody wants to see me in pajamas, with tousled hair hunched over my laptop in bed. So I spend most of my days. You want to see my books, my windows, my travel pictures, just like I want to see the best episodes of your daily life. "

Strich believes that showing your best "I" is not so bad, but there are certain boundaries. "In this project, I crossed this line, crossed the path, overcoming it, to look back, analyze and find out how far I could go, approaching my work with all responsibility".

She first shared this photo, announcing that she was heading to Disneyland to celebrate her 22nd birthday.

The next day, she published this stunning picture, in which she is completely alone in front of the castle of Sleeping Beauty.

And a few days later, she told her subscribers that she had deceived them. It was just a project.

"Nobody wants to see me in pajamas, with disheveled hair, hunched over their laptop in bed. So I spend most of my days."

"You want to see my books, my windows, my travel pictures, just as I want to see the best episodes of your daily life."
