There is a girl who we used to work together in the same place. We casually knew each other like “Hi/Bye” , but never actually had any conversation.

And I haven’t seen her since then like for 3-4 years. But i got her on my instagram/snapchat and sometimes i see her posts/stories where she goes to hiking, certain authentic bars , etc.

And i replied to her stories few times like “what a wonderful place, may i ask where is that?”. To what she replied in a nice way (what and where this place is). To what i sent her smile with thanks to what she also sent smile with “your welcome”.

What would be the best way to ask her out? and not sound creepy like i never really talked to her and asking her out out nowhere. Or maybe i should go to the places she usually goes in hope of meeting her there?

Can anyone help with advice please. Thank you!
