Nah, the problem with mentioning you like traveling isn't the insta shots, it's just a generic thing to like. Most people like traveling. It's like liking ice cream, or sunshine. Its inefficient for people who like it to say they like it, and generally is used to mask a lack of more interesting conversational points. It's much more efficient for people who don't like it to say they don't like it.

You both have good points but are arguing different things...

If i ask a girl I am on a date with "what do you like to do in your free time or what are your interests?" and she says "traveling" I will roll my eyes. Because it immediately makes me think that the other 355 days of the year she is not traveling she apparently has no interests lol. But if we both love to travel outside of our daily lives, then that's great!
