Instagram is a fantastic resource for travelers. It provides travel inspiration, can introduce you to new destinations and allows you get to know people as they travel the world. I've made some great friends through the Instagram travel community and they've inspired me to see new places and help others do the same. Over the years I've come to really enjoy these 10 travel Instagram accounts as they take us on their adventures around the world.

For this list let's set aside the full-time professional photographers, contributor accounts, and travel companies. Otherwise I'd post links to all National Geographic photographers and accounts that collect the best photos on the planet. While I enjoy those accounts, I prefer to follow travelers who are photographers, storytellers, and inspire us to travel more all in once place.

These Instagram travel accounts will introduce you to their favorite places through their own eyes, tell you their story, and invite you to tag along through each of their accounts.

Lets get to know my all-around favorite travel Instagram accounts.

ExpertVagabond

Hands down the best adventurer I know. Matt is always doing something badass in some place I've unknown. Catch up with him on Instagram where he takes us to amazing places with his incredible photography skills and sense of adventure.

Les makes me want to step up my travel game every time I see her post a new photo. She's one of the most adventurous people around and puts a new perspective on amazing destinations around the world.

If you don't follow Kiersten by now you are missing out! She's always up to something fun and is a huge inspiration to travel. Whether she's introducing you to a new city, festival, or destination I'm always excited to see where she'll go next.

Lee is one of the world's most traveled people. He's the youngest American to travel to every country in the world and been one of my biggest motivations and inspirations to explore new places. Try and keep up with Lee as he heads to some of the world's most hard to reach places.

Alvaro, better known as Wander Reds, is from Spain and has been to 69 countries all while working a 9-5 job. He takes incredible photos around the world and he's always quick to reply to a travel question. If he can travel while working the 9-5 there is hope for us all!
