Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Madi @thepassportpacker

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

I’m a recent college graduate working as an engineer in the Silicon Valley, California! Although I can’t work as a full-time traveler (not yet, anyway 😉 ) I love exploring the world when I do get time off. What I love to do the most is spend time exploring new places, getting to know new people, and learning about other peoples’ cultures and customs.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

My main topics of interests consists of my travels. I post on Instagram mostly photos of building I’ve seen, food I’ve eaten around the world, and myself doing adventurous things abroad!

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

Due to the fact that I am an avid traveler, I always pack my passport… hence my name 🙂

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I edit my photos using Snapseed. I edit the photos based on its category. For example, if the photo is an editorial picture of a building, I might enhance the sharpness and increase drama. If the photo is more naturalistic, I would increase the brightness and soften the photo.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

I love theblondeabroad and also glographics. I especially like profiles which inspire and motivate other women into travelling, especially female solo travel. Its important for women to know that they should not be afraid to travel alone. There are many countries which can inspire young women and they should not be afraid to go see the world and learn more about them in the process.

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

Superman zip-lining on the longest zip-line in Mexico.

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

I love getting to talk to other Instagrammers and provide tips for their travels. I love getting to know more about them as well as their favorite places they visited.

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

Make sure to run a campaign that follows along the same line that you do. It’s important that your followers don’t think “Wait, why did she post that?” if they see an advertisement on your profile. It’s important for ads and your photos to flow.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

As much as people like to take photos from other brands/instagrammers, think about what purpose that serves. People follow you to learn more about you and your experiences which is why it’s important to stay authentic.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

I partner with brands that would help serve a purpose to my followers, so in that aspect-I like the awareness and ability to help my followers.
