I’m very particular about who I follow on Instagram. I don’t like seeing my feed cluttered with uninspiring images like a tea that’ll supposedly help me lose 20 pounds in a week.
Basically we’re blood relatives if I’m following you, or you’re beyond awesome and we don’t know each other.
And if you feel the same way, then here’s an incredible list of my personal favorite travel Instagrammers I think you should follow (along with a bonus one at the end!).
Murad Osmann
Murad and his wife are seriously charming. Ever since finding them, I’ve been a follower and happy to see whenever they go. Their photos are always fun and inspire me to travel to amazing destinations. And here are some of my favorites from his account!
FOLLOW MURAD OSMANN HEREOliver Vegas
Oliver’s shots are full of vibrant colors, awesome landscapes, and charming moments in time. Expect to see shots that communicate an obviously high level of talent.
And without trying to sound too cheesy, a lot of his work is pure magic. You’ll find no shortage of nature shots and adventure pics, and you can tell that he has a love of nature and an awe of the world around him.
FOLLOW OLIVER VEGAS HEREGmateus
Gabriela’s shots circle the globe and show lots of wonderful architecture the world over. Even when she photographs a well-known landmark that’s been shot a thousand times too many, she finds a way to make it look fresh. You’ll appreciate her originality!
FOLLOW GMATEUS HEREBucketlist Journey
Annette offers the awesome shots you’d expect out of any high-level Instagrammer; great landscapes, great cityscapes, wonderful people, and great moments in time. But she also lets her sense of humor and her personality shine through in a way that makes viewers feel like they know her and they’re along for the ride (wherever the ride might be).
FOLLOW BUCKETLIST JOURNEY HEREAnna Everywhere
A full-time traveler for over 10 years, Anna features lots of variety in her shots from all over the world. Her style is idyllic, bright, fun, and creative. Once again, we see a traveler willing to get into the shot often enough that over time you feel like you know her and you’re traveling along.
FOLLOW HEREHippie in Heels
Exotic locales, good themes, solid content, mesmerizing location shots, Rachel’s good at capturing the places she goes in a way that makes it feel like you’re with her. You’ll enjoy her talented photography.
Update: Rachel sadly passed away in 2019.
FOLLOW HIPPIE IN HEELS HEREPaulo Del Valle
Paulo is one my favorites and his pics are always sharp with a strong, yet bright style. He brings a certain glamour to his shots. Even things we’re familiar with from Southern California look different when he shoots them because he does it that well. Awesome variety of photos and locations; you’re going to love him.
FOLLOW PAULO DEL VALLE HERENicanor Garcia
Nicanor Garcia’s Insta features lots of distance shots and architecture. He has a talent for urban settings and being able to accurately and artistically show perspective and scale. His shots have a unique artistic quality that’s hard to put your finger on, but easy to appreciate. You’ll like his work.
FOLLOW NICANOR GARCIA HEREKael Rebick
The next photographer is one of my favorites. Her work has a unique sense of personality and mood, and she puts the wonder in wanderlust. She’s good at capturing nature and seasons, so expect to see a combination of both nature and city shots in her work.
FOLLOW KAEL REBICK HEREExpert Vagabond
Matt’s shots include lots of epic landscapes, adventure pics and cool shots of people and animals. His talent is obvious and his ability to keep constantly moving means that as you scroll through his feed, you’ll see an eye-popping variety of places to go, adventures to be had, people to meet, and things to do. It’s a great way to stay inspired.
