Discover spots to travel to next by checking out the feeds of these Instagram accounts. Be warned, though, that you may get so bitten by the travel bug that you’ll start contemplating plans on how to leave your whole life behind and move or just hop from one destination to another.
@fosterhunting
Ever dream of just packing up and taking off in a van? You could spend your days exploring, surfing, and just being out in nature? Well, that’s what Foster’s been doing. Live vicariously through his Instagram.
@zakshelhamer
If you love adventure sports and travel (or just wish you took part), this Instagram account will get your heart pumping. Follow Shelhamer as he cliff-jumps, off-roads, surfs and more in spots around the world.
@kirstenalana
Gorgeous photos from her travels, and she includes a lengthier than the norm (most people tend to have a quick line or two) comment, explaining the building or sight and including her take on visiting the sight.
@everythingeverywhere
The well-traveled Gary Arndt (he’s been to 140 countries and all seven continents) offers a well-rounded selection of photos—from food and sights to locals and art and architecture.
@bkindler
A mix of mostly pretty nature and wildlife shots and aerial views (Kindler is a pilot) with the occasional food shot thrown in.
@explorecanada
A collection of reposted Instagram pictures that have been tagged #explorecanada, this feed makes you wish it were less expensive to travel and discover more of our home and native land. From the stunning lakes and rivers to the soaring skyscrapers, the photos will make you happy to be Canadian.
@natgeotravel
Get an extra fix of National Geographic via their Instagram account, which serves up great behind the scenes looks of their team’s at work; and just like the magazine, these photos give you the urge to take better travel photos yourself.
@kevinruss
This wildlife photographer shoots with his iPhone and captures the gorgeous beauty of the west coast of America (Russ is based in Portland) from serene lakes to horses grazing.
@uncornered_market
Breathtaking photos from this “travel evangelist,” of everywhere from Namibia to Costa Rica. It’ll have you reconsidering your choice of career.
@legalnomads
Foodies who travel will want to hit “follow” on Jodi Ettenberg’s feed as her account is ripe full with foodporn (with more than a few cute furry creatures she encounters on her travels thrown in, too).
