Behind the Hashtag – When It All Goes Wrong
There are several notable examples of travel influencers being exposed:
- Marissa Casey Fuchs faked an elaborate “surprise proposal” that turned out to be a brand pitch deck in disguise.
- Natalie Schlater faced backlash after posting a tone-deaf caption comparing her beach life to that of a local rice farmer.
- The Backpacking Couple were accused of faking poverty and scamming followers into donating to fund their “journey.”
And these are just the ones who got caught.
