Today I’m counting down my favorite resorts in the most amazing locations on Stories. Check out the whole series and see where @keemalaphuket ranks! #TheGlobeWanderer #TheTravelPro #2018 #bestof2018 A post shared by Mikki Tenazas (@thetravelpro) on Dec 30, 2018 at 8:01am PST

9. @DOYOUTRAVEL

Jack Morris is the world traveler and professional photographer behind @doyoutravel , his travel-focused Instagram account with over two million followers. He’s known for his idyllic photographs of the most spectacular places on earth. On a side note, Morris earns a six-figure salary for traveling the world and was once paid $9,000 USD for a single post on Instagram.

View this post on Instagram Are you following your dream? 👊🏼 So many of you ask me how I got to where I am today, how I travelled nonstop for so long, and how I can make money online. Unfortunately there’s no simple answer and there’s no secret overnight success tip. . With that said, I truly believe ANYONE can do it if that’s what they really want to do! It just requires some hard work, and passion. 💪🏽 . There’s soo many things you can do online these days, there’s an infinite amount of opportunity, and so many resources to help you achieve goals. . I’ve been pushing The Preset Bundle hard over these last few days because it’s truly one of the best things you can buy online right now if you’re wanting to kickstart an online career, especially in the social media space. . There’s a shit load of presets in there (which is epic) but there’s also a bunch guides on how to master social media and make a career out of it, as well as video tutorials on how to better your photography. It’s the ultimate package created for you, by the leading creators online. We all collaborated on this together and are real proud of it! If you haven’t bought it already, join over 8000 others and get involved! It’ll be gone in a few days and I’d hate for you to miss out on this! You can still get it now with the link in my bio! Sorry for the essay haha✌🏻 A post shared by JACK MORRIS (@doyoutravel) on Feb 28, 2020 at 5:16am PST

The 22 Best Instagram Travel Accounts To Inspire You

instagram travel accounts to follow

Instagram is simple, it’s visual and it creates a quick emotional impact! It’s also a great way to discover new places around the world. No wonder I’m always seeking the best Instagram travel accounts to follow!

Even though I despise the direction Instagram is going, with self-proclaimed influencers spreading like wildfire ( beautypreneurs is a thing now…) I confess I do spend a significant amount of time there .

Sometimes double tapping cat videos. Sometimes stalking my friends. But I’m especially interested in new travel inspiration. And now I’m sharing them with you (the travel content, not the cats).

Best Instagram Travel Accounts to Follow >>

For this list, I tried to avoid hollow influencers who only use travel as a way of getting new backdrops for their own photos. The world needs valuable content, interesting things to learn and see and especially people who truly love to travel.

With no particular order, these are my favorite Instagram travel bloggers to feed your wanderlust (list updated May 2019). They are travel bloggers, Youtube stars, journalists or simple amateurs sharing real, honest, and interesting content.

Let’s get inspired!

1 @paulodelvalle

Paulo’s was one of the first accounts I followed in Instagram. He’s a Brazilian travel photographer, but mostly a storyteller. His amazing photos in the most varied landscapes inspired me to follow my own wanderlust dream.

Estou muito impressionado com a beleza dos templos e santuários japoneses. Cada um mais bonito que o outro! 😍 I’m really impressed with the beauty of the japanese temples and shrines. Each one prettier than the other! 😍 Tokyo, Japan. 🇯🇵 w/ @marlonduque A post shared by Paulo del Valle (@paulodelvalle) on Jan 3, 2016 at 6:11am PST

2 @youngadventuress

Liz is one of my favorite travel bloggers out there and Young Adventuress is a BIG SUCCESS in the travel blog world. What I particularly enjoy about her is how down-to-earth and unpretentious she is.

Her gallery in Instagram has bits and bobs from everywhere in the world, but mostly from the awe-inspiring New Zealand outdoors.

3 @treyratcliff

What I like the most about Trey’s body of work is that he’s not afraid of color. In fact, he’s all about color!

You can sneak peek his travel photography blog , displaying more of his amazing pictures.

4 @Tourist2Townie

I’ve been a follower of Gareth’s videos on Tourist2Townie’s Youtube channel for quite some time. I’ve always been a fan of the very down-to-earth and humble way he approaches travel, still managing to be informative and truly helpful.

His his Instagram “is secondary” (his words, not mine), but still very much worth it if you ask me.

5 @danielkordan

Daniel is a landscape photographer who shoots STUNNING pictures in remote places like Japan , Russia or Norway .

I have to confess I think this is one of the most inspiring Instagram accounts I’ve EVER come across. After all, 1M followers can’t be wrong.

6 @bemytravelmuse

I found Kristin’s Instagram very recently and made an impact on me. It’s one of those accounts you can’t stop scrolling down.

Once a former investment banker in the corporate world, Kristin is a now a travel writer exploring the world full-time. You can follow her on her blog too. Judging by her gallery, I’d say she chose the right path!

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Kristin Addis (@bemytravelmuse) on Apr 25, 2019 at 8:47am PDT

I’m going to be honest: I don’t know much about whoever is behind this account. In fact, I know nothing.

All I know is that the pictures here are breathtaking and make me want to go places. Apart from the visual element,there are also several inspiring descriptions. So Andy , whoever you are, you are awesome!

9 @AlexStrohl

What I like about Alex’s gallery is how impactful his pictures can be. A photographer keen on the more remote destinations, he is able to translate the wilderness of incredible nature landscapes directly into his shots.

Alex is one of my top favorite Instagrammers out there, so I strongly suggest take a peek at his account. His photos will surely wow you!

10 @kristarossow

More than being just another National Geographic photographer, Krista has the amazing ability of telling a story. She’s in this list because of in-depth descriptions of her photos, which make the captures really come alive . With such an interesting gallery, she makes it so easy to travel along with her!

View this post on Instagram It was so normal in Myanmar to pass groups of young monks or nuns on the street or in temples….I even got cut off in traffic by monks on motor scooters! On my last night in Mandalay, I had just left the Sandamuni Pagoda when I came across these young Buddhist nuns draped in pink. I climbed Mandalay Hill into the sunset and who knows where they ended up. It is amazing how such disparate lives can pass in a flash…and how we smile at each other in our shared humanity. Thank you, Myanmar, for being friendly, welcoming, beautiful, and mysterious. I’ll be back and I hope that whatever changes as the country is opened to the world, that it doesn’t take the joy from the spirit of the beautiful Myanmar people. // #FujifilmX_US @FujifilmX_US @bhphoto #mywinteraway #FujifilmXT1 #Fujifilm @NatGeoCreative @NatGeoTravel A post shared by Krista Rossow (@kristarossow) on Mar 5, 2016 at 8:32pm PST

Hugo and Cristina are a portuguese couple on a quest to explore the world’s best cultural and nature destinations. I’d say so far they are doing a great job!

Mark Wiens travels with a purpose: to eat food. Sounds like a great life purpose to me. Based in Bangkok , he combines his travels with indulging in the local foods and ingredients. The result is a colorful and yummy Instagram feed: a delight for foodies.

I have a problem with this guy’s feed though. I always get hungry!

Kiersten Rich is another example of a well-succeeded corporate woman who left everything for travel. And she really means it: she’s already got more than 40 countries ticked off her bucket list.

Her Instagram account is not all about travel, it’s also packed with lifestyle tips and experiences. The recent photos she took in Indonesia are quite awesome!

I love everything about this profile. The concept, the name, the composition of the photos, and specially the tagline Eating my way around the world .

Originally from Hong Kong , Melissa Hie started this project because she felt awkward asking strangers to take pictures of her. So she started taking food selfies! On her Instagram you can find a bag of dutch fries in Amsterdam a corn bread in Indonesia , or this koulouri in Greece . I’m hooked!

Jackson is the real deal. During his gap year in England , he started a documentary series in YouTube about his personal life and travels. This series eventually made him famous in the online world with MILLIONS of followers on his Instagram account.

Apart from being a filmmaker and producer, he’s now a climate change activist and a very interesting personality to follow.

In a shameful act of self-promotion, I had to squeeze myself in! It feels damn good to even be featured in the same list as these amazing list of Instagrammers!

My account is still a little fish in a world of travel sharks out there. My first photos in Instagram were taken in 2012 with a crappy camera phone (#throwbackshame). I like to think that I’ve improved by now. And I hope I can continue to get better every shutter at a time!

@doyoutravel

It’s hard not to get lost in Jack Morris ’ feed of impressive photos from around the globe. He’s currently living in Bali but spends most of his time photographing and exploring the world with his other half, @gypsea_lust , and their feeds are the definition of #relationshipgoals and #travelgoals.

@gypsea_lust

From the sand dunes in Abu Dabi to ethereal ocean views in Greece, Lauren Bullen ’s photos make us wanting to book our trip to wherever she is immediately–and look as good in the bikinis she sports while doing it.

@_itsbeautifulhere

Gigi Hopkins ' feed is a free city guide to the places we want to go to now. She left her corporate job to live life on the road, and is sharing her favorite finds to her loyal audience. From the Catskills in Upstate New York to Orpheus Island in Australia, you can trust her to guide you to all of the hottest spots and hidden gems–especially when she's chatting about her hometown of Melbourne, or contributing her best tips to BAZAAR.com as one of our contributing travel editors.

The ultimate collection of travel images from other travel pages, @wearetravelgirls’ founders @beckyvandijk and @vanessarivers aim to curate the most cohesive feed of vibrant and informative content. What we love most? Their travel tips, which they frequently include in their captions.

@kellyalack

Kelly Lack , an alum at some of the top lifestyle companies such as Martha Stewart, One King's Lane, and Spot , delights her Instagram followers with beautifully curated images of her favorite spots (pun not intended) from her latest journeys. When you're traveling to California, hit up her Instagram account for hidden gems–she's based in San Francisco and knows the best in the West.

One of our favorite photographers, Jamie Beck , has been capturing stunning fashion images paired with her adventures around the world for years–but her recent move to Provence has her landing a spot on this list.

Aside from being the master of food (especially sweets! ) photos and breathtaking self-portraits , Tara’s feed also includes images of jaw dropping destinations from her recent adventures to lust-worthy destinations like Chiang Mai, Shibuya, Jaipur and Finland. Her feed comes complete with perfectly styled shots, the best hotels to spend the night in and some of the best secret spots to indulge in dessert along the way.

@muradosmann & @natalyosmann

Murad and Nataly Osmann of #FollowMeTo are Instagram's original travel inspo duo, and are responsible for creating the iconic hand-holding pose we often associate with couples on the go. The Moscow-based pair doesn't just stop at jaw-dropping imagery; they travel to countries to curate the best in local designer fashion as well, and use it to style their iconic shots. Head to their accounts for the best in travel, style and some cute outtakes of how their feed takes shape.

@jackharding

Jack Harding’s landscape images are unparalleled. When you’re thinking of booking a trip, consider his adventures (and the amazing photos you'd get of them for your feed!) if you used his handle as your travel guide.

@lucylaucht

@lucylaucht’s feed looks like a gallery of images you’d want to purchase and hang on your wall. Her trips around the world and the stunning shots she takes of them will add countless cities on to your bucket list; expect stunning beaches, cityscapes and a fashion moment here and there.

@finduslost

According to Instagram, the couple that travels together, stays together. Los Angeles natives, Selena and Jacob , left their lives in California to travel and document their exotic getaways. We'll warn you, checking out their feed will likely result in some major travel envy.

@prettylittlelondon

Planning a trip to lovely London? Then you must follow this account immediately. It has photos of where you can find all the wisteria when it's in bloom, the quaintest spots for tea and a look at one of the world's best cities from every angle.

Leave it to a professional photographer and filmmaker to capture parts of the world in the most stunning and unexpected ways. Callum Snape is based in Vancouver, and so expect loads of breathtaking views of snow-capped mountains, arctic wonders and dreamy lakes.

@wonderful_places

There’s a reason why this account has over 8 million(!) followers. This account is more of a community than an Insta-feed; the #wonderful_places hashtag generates over 5 million user generated photos of magical places all around the globe, all of which are curated to create the account's content. Trust–you'll want to go to every single place on their feed.

@theprettycities

For the traveler that loves pink, girly findings and flowers, this is the feed for you. There are endless photos of lush florals found in various cities across the globe as well as shots taken in must-go cafes and all the quaint streets in-between.

Here, constant traveler and food, fashion and flowers lover, Polina, fills her feed with luscious and vibrant images of her latest eats, discoveries, and experiences with her equally nomadic and sartorial friends.

@theslowtraveler

This whole feed is cohesive and tonal–we’re huge fans of the clean and minimal tones–but @theslowtraveler’s Instagram page is more than just beautiful photography. She also shares tips on how to make Instagram images really pop and includes tips and personal anecdotes in all of her captions.

Top Instagram Accounts To Inspire World Travel

13 TRAVEL INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS TO FOLLOW FOR SERIOUS INSPIRATION AND WANDERLUST

Marketing, promoting your business, social media marketing, the 13 travel instagram accounts will give you major wanderlust.

By now it’s no secret that I have a serious penchant for world travel. For me, there is nothing better than incorporating my love for travel and adventure into my business by working with epic, experience-centered clients around the world.

I know my tribe resonates with travel the same way.

Maybe you’re a travel brand. Maybe you’re a budding location-independent entrepreneur. Or maybe it’s simply that you value experiences over possessions. No matter what role travel plays in your life, this post is for you.

I’m sharing a compilation of my all-time favorite travel Instagram accounts . These aren’t bloggers, but actual travel and tourism brands who are rocking Instagram and crushing the hospitality internet marketing game. They are also inspiring and impacting lives in the process. If you’re looking for luxury travel and tourism branding inspiration, then look no further!

An amazing Instagram account has nothing to do with how many followers you have. It’s all about the VALUE of the content that you are providing . You’ll find each of these travel Instagram accounts consistently shares stunning images that inspire you to get outside of your comfort zone and have a life-changing adventure.

So whether you’re a travel business who is looking for guidance on how to amp-up your Instagram account and reach new potential clients OR you’re a travel-lover ready to get inspired for your next world adventure, read on. These are 13 travel Instagram accounts you are going to want to follow.

13 Travel Instagram Accounts To Follow For Serious Inspiration and Wanderlust

1.  Adventure Culture:  @adventure_culture

If you enjoy jaw-dropping scenery and adrenaline-pumping adventures in the great outdoors, then Adventure Culture has just what you need. The creative agency equips active travelers for world travel and wild adventures.

2. Conde Nast Traveler:  @cntraveler

For those of us who enjoy the finer things in life—like delectable cuisine and luxurious abodes—Conde Nast Traveler’s Instagram is sure to be a favorite. This travel company has been inspiring people through their stories for years, so it’s no surprise that their Instagram account is just as powerful.

3. Travel and Leisure:  @travelandleisure

Want to know where the most beautiful places in the world are? Just take a look at Travel and Leisure’s Instagram. Their powerful photography makes for potent visual storytelling.

4. Australia Tourism Board:  @australia

This is hands-down the best tourism board on Instagram. When recently working with a client in Israel, this is the sample account I used to demonstrate what a travel Instagram account that works actually looks like. If you’re a travel or tourism business, go get inspired to create similarly breathtaking images.

5. Explore Canada:  @explorecanada

Another tourism board with enticing photographs that make me want to get on the next plane to Canada.  Explore Canada does a particularly wonderful job at portraying all aspects of the country, from cuisine to architecture to landscapes.

6. Travel Channel:  @travelchannel

Another iconic name in travel, the Travel Channel’s Instagram account lives up to its reputation by truly inspiring people to travel through gorgeous images.

7. National Geographic Travel:  @natgeotravel

Because can you really have a list of top travel Instagram accounts without including National Geographic? Not only are their photos beautiful, but the post descriptions provided detailed descriptions and information about the location the image was captured.

8. Royal Caribbean:  @royalcaribbean

You don’t have to be a cruise ship aficionado to take one look at Royal Caribbean’s Instagram account and want to start planning your next trip at sea. Royal Caribbean truly excels by showcasing all aspects of what a cruise with them looks like, including the adventures, the food and the stunning locales.

9. Lufthansa Airlines:  @lufthansa

Lufthansa is my favorite airline, so I was excited to see that their Instagram account also excels with high-quality travel photos. But what I really love about Lufthansa is that they actually respond to comments on their photos with real, personal messages. Too many businesses forget that social media is all about creating a community. Take the time to show your followers that you care, and your business will reap the benefits.

If you don’t have time to respond to questions and comments, consider hiring a social media manager. The personal touch is a surefire way to increase your followers.

10. Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts:  @fourseasons

This is probably the best hotel Instagram account around. Four Seasons does an amazing job of taking you outside of the resort and into the one-of-a-kind locations where they operate.

11. Leading Hotels Of The World:  @leadinghotelsoftheworld

Another gorgeous account where each photo succeeds in telling a story. With over 400 locations around the globe, you’ll find inspiration no matter where your travels are taking you.

12. Lonely Planet:  @lonelyplanet

When you ache for authentic, off-the-beaten-track travel. I still remember backpacking with my best friend in college and always having our doggy-eared Lonely Planet nearby. That book was our everything. Lonely Planet’s Instagram is chock-full of the same high-quality travel inspiration.

13. New York Times Travel:  @nytimestravel

The New York Times has multiple Instagram accounts for the different niches and topics that they cover. Their riveting travel photos actually make me want to head to their website to read more about the stories behind them.

Sam Johnson

famous travel instagram accounts

My passion for photography was something that I also had when I was a child. I would find different ways to get a free version of Photoshop on my old Toshiba computer and edit all the random photos that I would take. As I moved into college, I let that passion grow distant. This is one of the biggest things I wish I could go back and reverse. I let it go because I was trying to fit a mold. Go to college, get a degree and start a career. That is what was preached to me. I didn’t see photography or digital creation as a career at the time.

I’ve always been into artistic expression of some form, but it wasn’t until photography found me later in life did I realize my true passion.

From traveling, meeting other creative minds, overcoming challenges working with companies and brands to bring a vision to life, the possibilities and excitement are endless.  Follow me on my journey as I make my dreams become a reality and share it with the world.

29. @Expertvagabond

The #1 Adventure travel blogger out there. Matthew Karsten is a professional photographer as well, so you can always count on quality content. What sets him apart is the fact that he shows the adventure, and takes you to places you didn’t even know existed.

I’ll try to post a few updates, but much of the trip is off-the-grid. •••• For now, here’s a shot from Joshua Tree National Park in CA. ? ———————— #VisitCalifornia #JoshuaTree #adventureawaits #desertlife A post shared by Matt Karsten | Expert Vagabond (@expertvagabond) on Mar 15, 2018 at 5:58am PDT

Apparently, it’s England tourism week this week too which makes it feel so apt to be off exploring the English countryside (*it also means there’s a whole lotta travel/food/drinks bargains to be had across England.

Christine is my lovely girlfriend and travel partner. So, I might be a bit biased since I’m the one taking her photos. But she has been to some really cool places and keeps inspiring people through her Instagram and travel blog.

View this post on Instagram Let's get to know each other! ? ⠀ Do you have any fun/random facts about yourself? ⠀ ? Here are 10 Random Facts about me: ⠀ ★ I used to worked as a cashier at a supermarket before I followed my dream as a full-time traveler. ⠀ ★ I’m 23, turning 24 this year! ⠀ ★ When traveling the world there are three things that I miss about home; My Family, Swedish Tacos, and Swedish Loose Candy. ⠀ ★ Alex and I met on the island Rhodes in Greece about 6 years ago. We've been together for 5 years this summer! ♡ ⠀ ★ When sitting on a bus/train/flight, I ALWAYS fall asleep. I don’t really know why haha. ⠀ ★ I’ve got some weird skin disease which makes my skin really itchy. I’ve had it since 2013 and the worst areas are my scalp, chest, neck, and some parts of my arms. I’m having a really hard time traveling with it since it gets worse when I change climates too often. It itches 24/7 and sometimes I wake up with wounds from scratching in my sleep. But I love traveling, so it’s not going to stop me! ⠀ ★ Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies, and The 100 is my favorite TV-series. ⠀ ★ One of my biggest dreams is to travel to Antartica. ⠀ ★ I love to cook & bake! ⠀ ★ As soon as I get back home or to the hotel (while traveling), I take of my bra and put on sweatpants.

Just make sure to give some love for the content creators at times as well. A big reason how to travel influencers can produce quality content is thanks to their followers and media reach.
