Don't Post Your Travel Plans in Real Time

Sharing vacation photos while you are still on the trip tells the world your home is empty. It is not paranoia — burglars genuinely monitor social media for exactly this kind of information. Even a casual story tagging an airport gives away more than you think.

Post your trip after you return. The likes will still come, but your home stays safer. If you must share something in the moment, limit it to close friends with a private story or a direct message.
