✈️ Ciao from Italy! How I'm Turning Travel Chaos Into Content Gold
When Life Gives You Jet Lag, Make LinkedIn Posts About It
Hey there! 👋
Writing to you from our Airbnb in Italy (still pinching myself that this is real life!), and I had to share something that's been on my mind since we started planning this trip.
You know how sometimes you think "I don't have anything interesting to post about today"? Well, I'm here to tell you that's complete nonsense, and our first day in Italy just proved it! 🇮🇹

Everything is Content (& I Mean EVERYTHING)
I've been documenting this entire travel experience, and holy moly, the content opportunities are everywhere. Like, literally everywhere.
🧳 The packing saga alone is giving me a week's worth of material I'm planning to share:
The "what to pack for a 5 month abroad trip" post
The "things I definitely overpacked" reality check post
The "packing cube game changer" product recommendation I'm dying to share
The "re-packing because I'm an amateur" behind-the-scenes story that's too good not to post
✈️ Then came airport day, which I'm turning into a content goldmine:
My "airport productivity setup" post (spoiler: it's just noise-canceling headphones and prayer)
"Working from Terminal B" tips I'm planning to share
The "airplane workspace optimization" carousel that's already drafted
"Jet lag productivity hacks" I'm currently testing and will report back on 😴
My TSA Pre-Check didn’t clear so my husband left me at normal security (…I would’ve too LOL)
🏡 And now the Airbnb content is practically writing itself:
"Creating a temporary office space abroad" (definitely posting this one)
"WiFi speed tests and backup plans for remote work"
"How to stay productive when your view is the Italian countryside" (still figuring this one out!)
The Real Content Lesson Here
The point isn't to document every single moment of your life (please don't), but to recognize that your everyday experiences are way more interesting than you think.
Your audience doesn't just want your polished expertise. They want to see how you handle real situations, solve actual problems, and navigate the messy parts of life and work.
That "boring" thing you did yesterday? Someone in your network is probably dealing with the exact same challenge and would love to hear how you approached it.
Some content ideas hiding in your regular life:
How you organized your desk this week
The app that's been saving you time lately
Your coffee shop work setup vs home office
The planning mistake you made (and what you learned)
Your actual morning routine (not the Instagram version)
My Challenge for You This Week
Look around your next few days and ask yourself: "What micro-experience could I turn into helpful content?"
Maybe it's how you prep for client calls, your grocery shopping system, or even how you decide what to wear for video calls. I guarantee someone in your network has wondered about the same thing.
The best content creators aren't the ones with the most exciting lives. They're the ones who can spot the universal experiences in their ordinary moments and share them in a way that helps others.
Plus, this approach makes content creation way less stressful because you're not constantly trying to come up with groundbreaking insights. You're just sharing what's already happening!
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go find some pasta because I’ve been in this country for far too many hours without any! 🍝
