Travel inspiration
The 10 best Instagram accounts to awake your travel drive!!
Traveling is and will always be the best thing in the world! But planning a new adventure and getting inspired for the next trip is almost as good. There are so many great places in this world that it can be really difficult to decide where to go next. You search the internet, read lots of blog posts, click your way from one site to another or ask your friends if they can recommend something. And suddenly you grow more passionate about a place you discovered while searching. It is a bit like falling in love with someone whom you don’t even really know.
And this feeling comes over and over again, every time you plan a new trip. No matter how often you have already set out traveling. This tingling inside you, this longing, this craving for adventure.
One of the best sources of inspiration to kindle the lust for adventure is Instagram. Every second several thousands of new images that take you to a new place are uploaded here. And the best part: you can get to know these places from a very different perspective. From the perspective of people who really live there or that are other travelers like you.
For me Instagram images are probably the best inspiration for new adventures. I love going through other instagrammers’ galleries, each time entering another world and falling in love again.
There are a couple of great instagrammers that I have discovered for myself and that make my nomad heart beat higher. To quench your wanderlust and also get inspiration for your next trip you should out these best Instagram accounts and follow them as well!
10 instagrammers you should definitely be following!
1. Johan Lolos – World Explorer
Johan is one of my absolute favorite instagrammers and is originally from Belgium but seldom goes back there. Be it stunning lights like recently on Iceland, lonely cabins in the snow in Canada or hikes with great views in New Zealand, here you find inspiration for places that still are wild and untouched. You cannot help but feel the tingling when you go through his gallery!

2. by Jaharn Giles
The person behind @misterweekender is not a man but the wonderful Jaharn. Her pictures are all in a very light style and have something wild about them. Jaharn travels almost every weekend, at the moment she is hiking through Tasmania in Australia and just recently went for a desert adventure in Dubai and before that did a road trip through Iceland. In my opinion she has one of the best Instagram accounts and her pictures will be a great inspiration for a cool weekend adventure!

3. RASKAL
Looking for the cool surfer life? Then you have to follow Raskal! I only know him because he is good friends with my surfing teacher Ayo in Canggu. Whenever I miss Bali and surfing I go by his account. His style is super cool and he also does really great portraits!

Jordan lives in California, right by Lake Tahoe on the border to Nevada. San Fransisco, Big Sur and Yosemite National Park are not far. His Instagram pictures take you on an adventure hunt through California and will really wake the wanderlust in you. And like many other travel instagrammers he also travels to many other countries, like just recently Canada.

I'm due for another road trip through Big Sur, and something is telling me that you are, too. Just grab someone and go.

6. Jason Charles Hill
When looking at Jason’s pictures I feel the same kind of tingling as I do with Johan’s, they make me want to immediately pack my backpack, put on my hiking boots and go somewhere where there is wilderness waiting for me. Jason takes you along to countries that are just brimming with adventure like Kenia, Canada, the US, Australia or New Zealand!
