# Bizarre Bathrobe Photography The Bathrobe Crusader Instagram Travel Photo Series is Hilarious By Meghan Young | Published 2014-09-30 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instagram-travel-photo References: [buzzfeed](http://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/theres-an-american-college-kid-traveling-europe-i) & [instagram](http://instagram.com/bathrobecrusader) It is not everyday that an [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/odorsegregating-travel-backpack) travel photo series will not only make people feel jealous, but also have them rolling on the ground laughing. Although people might not find it that funny, it does revolve around a bizarre premise: An American college student has decide to spend his summer traveling around Europe--in a bathrobe. That is one way to live the life. Dubbing himself the Bathrobe Crusader, the [University of Southern California](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travelpro-and-dominic-ciambrone) student's Instagram travel photo series shows that with a little bit of disregard and humor, people can make anything into an interesting series that will garner attention and perhaps even an avid following. In this case, that involves an odd Instagram travel photo series. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 89% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Bizarre Travel Photography:** Opportunity for travel companies to leverage unconventional and humorous photo series to promote tourism destinations. - **Unconventional Social Media Branding:** Brands can attract target audiences and boost engagement by regularly producing unique and humorous content, as demonstrated by the Bathrobe Crusader. - **Humorous Youth Tourism:** Opportunity for tourism companies to target a young audience by offering lighthearted and unconventional experiences such as traveling in a bathrobe. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Travel:** Opportunity for travel companies to promote destinations and experiences through unconventional and humorous photography. - **Social Media:** Brands can capitalize on the success of the Bathrobe Crusader series by producing their own unique and humorous content to increase social media following. - **Tourism:** Opportunity for tourism companies to target younger audiences by offering lighthearted and unconventional travel experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Quick-Dry Odor-Free Robes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/k25-smart-bathrobe-20.md) - [Humorous Hotel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marriott-bonvoy-x-mercedes.md) - [Relaxing Bedding-Inspired Robes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-gandy-duvet-robe.md) - [Playful Hotel Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bwh-hotels.md) - [Lavatory Travel Guides](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/encycloopedia.md) - [Travel Story Visuals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-wrapped.md) - [Offbeat Bath Bombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-bomb-extreme.md) - [Affordable Luxury Robes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-cotton-hotel-italia-robe.md) - [Cotton Jacquard Bath Robes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fluffco.md)
