The three posts pulling the most engagement in the last 90 days.
reel 348.12% engagedDon’t blink⚠️ The thrill of coming home has never changed. As I live on the other side of the world, I’m in awe of many things, like the colors I see in autumn or the flowers that bloom in spring. To me, there is no kind of awesome that any but home can bring. It’s an odd state to be in, blowing the whistle on your home #triptoindia #cominghome #homeoswhereheartis #homecountry #ᴇxᴘʟᴏʀᴇɪɴᴅɪᴀ #canadatoindia #goingbackhome #home #parents #familytime #familyphotography #familytravelblog #familyfirst #siblinggoals #brothersisterbond #homecooking #muddledwayfarer #homeforlife #familymeals #familytrip #travelindiagram #travelindiadiaries #backtohometown #hometown

Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Reels telling deep personal travel stories crush it, with post 6 hitting 4290 likes and 72 comments on coming home, versus carousels at under 150. Emotional hooks like belonging in mountains (post 0) or fan phases (post 1: 115 likes) consistently pull 40-60 comments, fueling algorithm reach on 1253 followers. Pivot here over static images averaging 120 likes. Cadence leak kills momentum at 0.4 posts/week; sparse posting starves discovery despite proven reels edge. Pillars like Canadian Escapes (35%) and India Homecomings (20%) anchor feed, but blend music moments for variety. Ramp to 3 posts/week on Fridays/Sundays evenings to reclaim growth.
Working
5- Emotional travel reels spike likes to 4290 (post 6).
- Poetic hooks generate 50+ comments consistently.
- Canadian content owns 35% share with steady engagement.
- Music stories build loyal comments (posts 1,8).
- Nature poetry reels retain high interaction.
Risks
5- Cadence stuck at 0.4 posts/week limits reach.
- Too many low-engagement images; shift to reels.
- India pillar dated; refresh with recent trips.
- Fewer music posts lately despite strong comments.
- Hashtags overload dilutes clean captions.
Ship next
5- Double posting cadence to 3/week starting with reels on pillars.
- Test hooks from post 6 in new Canadian content.
- Batch create 10 reels reviving India pillar.
- Collaborate with local cafes for UGC-style visits.
- Analyze stories for hour tweaks post 3 weeks.
