I have tried to come up with a better system… croissants is the emoji for places I want to go. I have an Eiffel Tower for my Parisian hit list. But my map is a mess and even when I see a place has closed I don’t usually delete it because I like to know what I used to like. 😅

There are thousands of pins. It’s a bit silly. But I do use it to see if there is anywhere near where I’m going that I might want to go.

Haha thousands, wow!

Does it make your map difficult to use for basic navigation because of how many icons there are?

Probably a little? That's thousands across the whole world though, not just in one city. Like you said, my energy for organising is finite and it's manageable! I definitely prefer to have them than not have them. I also have saved folders on Instagram which I wish you could sort somehow as I've definitely created new ones when I haven't been able to find one. I refer to these if I'm going to a city too.

Making instagram folders for different cities is a great idea …

… but I’m gonna need a while to fortify myself before taking that one on! 😹 I’ve been dump saving IG posts since … (don’t even want to finish that sentence, let’s just say “five years”)

oh boy. If it helps I have about 40 folders and, like I said, some of them are duplicated. It's frustrating not to be able to search or filter/reorder them!

If you don't mind me asking: I'd love to know if you have any Parisian recommendations for meals that are veggie friendly and good for solo dining. No worries if nothing springs to mind!
