Are you in need of travel inspiration? No problem. Social media, in particular Instagram, has become a well-known channel for travel bloggers to share their journeys. Travelers have taken to the popular free photo-sharing mobile app to guide their followers through their destinations and activities, hoping to inspire others to travel.
While there are plenty of great brand-powered travel accounts, personal accounts have a sense of realness and personality. Here are the top five travel accounts you should follow to help you get inspired.
@muradosmann
Murad Osmann has some of the most beautiful photos ever taken. The Russian photographer and his wife, Natalia Zakharova, explore the world. His #followmeto photos were inspired by his wife’s impatience, as she is constantly trying to lead him. Osmann has more than 4 million followers and his work has led him to a book deal, advertising contracts and numerous magazine articles.
@everythingeverywhere
Gary Arndt dropped everything — sold his company and his house back in 2007 — to travel the world for a year and he hasn’t stopped. He has been to more than 100 countries and all seven continents. In 2014, he was named Society of American Travel Writers Travel Photographer of the Year for his exceptional photos. He has more than 150,000 followers. Inspiration or not, you need to check out Arndt’s photos.
@ovunno
Oliver Vegas describes his photography in three words: grasp, feel and transmit. Barcelona native Vegas began traveling at 17 years old in order to find a different point of view on photography and new places. Vegas also does sport photography for companies like Nike. Even though his photos are only of his travels on Instagram, he takes you through raging rapids, unique angles and much more.
@theblondeabroad
Kiersten Rich went to college and became a corporate financier; however, she felt something was missing.
