Creating my first TikTok video in Melbourne back in March 2020 was truly an unforgettable experience. It was a moment filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness, as I was exploring this new social media platform while being far from home. Melbourne, with its vibrant culture and scenic spots, provided the perfect backdrop for capturing engaging content. I remember planning the video content around my personal identity and culture, which is why hashtags like #ilongga hold special meaning to me, connecting me to my roots even while abroad. Sharing these moments on #onthisday hashtags helps me reflect on how far I've come since then. For anyone looking to start their own TikTok journey, my advice is to focus on authentic storytelling. Whether it's showcasing your daily life in a new city or sharing cultural highlights, genuine content resonates most with viewers. Don’t hesitate to use relevant hashtags to reach communities that share your interests. Also, enjoy the process and let your personality shine through the videos. Overall, TikTok has been a great platform to document memories and connect with people worldwide. Looking back at my first video made in Melbourne gives me inspiration to create even more meaningful content in the future.
