These jet-setters know a thing or two about getting the perfect ‘gram.
Travelling the world is no small feat. But mastering the art of capturing each and every moment while doing it (and making us feel like we’re all there with them!) is worthy of recognition, right? Which is probably why you nominated these travelling content creators as your finalists for the Miss FQ Maybelline Influence Awards – they just do what they do so well but they also educate us, expand our horizons and help us build our travel bucket lists in the process.
This year the travel category (brought to you by Bondi Sands – can you think of a more perfect travel companion?! We can’t!) has five strong contenders who have perfected the art of travel photography and make us wish every day that we could squeeze in their suitcases to explore with them.
Are you ready to meet your travel finalists brought to you by Bondi Sands?
