Join this Instameet for a memorable photo sunset experience at City of Rocks on May 11.
@TravelNewMexico is a signature Instagram account that has rocketed to prominence by inviting guest Instagrammers to do a “takeover” of the account and share their love for unique New Mexico on-the-road adventures through imagery and stories.
Inspired by a road trip, this wildly popular IG project garnered over 16,000 followers in less than a year by engaging with a creative, motivated and supportive community. With so many amazing places to visit in New Mexico, it quickly became apparent that no one person or organization could possibly do justice to the beauty and diversity of the Land of Enchantment. Amy and Caitlin, owners of Simply Social Media and co-creators/curators of @TravelNewMexico, simply decided to share the wealth!
To celebrate this occasion, Amy and Caitlin will embark on an exciting seven-day journey, covering 1000 miles from May 9-15, 2016, that will lead them on an adventure throughout southwestern New Mexico. Starting in Santa Fe, they’ll be traveling to Albuquerque, Socorro, Silver City, Las Cruces, and White Sands, before returning with iPhones full of memorable imagery. The itinerary includes camping, hiking, and exploring some of New Mexico’s most fascinating landscapes including: The Very Large Array, the Gila Cliff Dwellings, City of Rocks State Park, the Organ Mountains, and White Sands National Monument. Along the way, @TravelNewMexico and other local Instagram feature accounts will host a series of fun InstaMeets to meet-and-greet IRL (in real life) the local IG communities with whom they have bonded over the past year. ( An InstaMeet is a gathering of people who come together to create, connect, and share an experience through Instagram photography.)
This road-trip extravaganza honors @TravelNewMexico’s milestone first birthday and offers Instagrammers, both locals and NM-loving visitors, an ideal opportunity to join in the celebration and connect with New Mexico’s vibrant social media community! The duo will be live-gramming the trip along the way, highlighting their adventures in wilderness areas, cities, and everything in between.
