Meet the Woman Who Travels the World Just to Take ‘Bad’ Selfies

Liu, a travel-focused Instagram user, goes to different landmarks around the globe to do “chinfies” – it’s time to take the chin out because selfies are becoming too mainstream.

Yes, this is apparently called chinfies – or chinning, depends on what term you prefer.

To put it simply, you basically distort your face and angle or tilt your head back to accentuate your chin rolls better.

Even some of the new friends she met at Budapest, Hungary seem to have caught the chinfies as well

Men and women around the globe are starting to embrace the chin pose

“My chinning entertained my friends all through middle school, high school and college, at which point I decided to share my chin with the world,” Liu told Mic.

She first launched her Instagram account around September 2016 while she was studying in Vienna, Austria. Liu received mixed reactions from people who have seen her posts on social media.

“Strangers always notice me chinning. Some appear shocked, others confused, but across the board from my experience, they are usually entertained.”

Here are Liu’s other adventures around the world with her chin:
