GIRL VS GLOBE

We adore the aesthetic of Girl vs Globe’s Instagram feed; amazingly colour coordinated and packed with useful travel tips from all over the world. Sabina Trojanova is the name behind the face and in the past few months she has ticked Beijing, Edinburgh, Prague, Malta, California and way more places off her bucket list. Her captions are also pretty inspirational. Follow her and you’ll soon be in the know of the coolest sights, most magnificent buildings and authentic city restaurants to visit in new cities.

ALONG DUSTY ROADS

Another power couple in the travelsphere, Andrew and Emily of Along Dusty Roads were winners of the  2018 Best UK Travel Blog . And their Instagram page is just as great! Being the fantastic photographers that they are, we wouldn’t expect any less. Follow them around on their epic adventures through some of the world’s most underrated cities that you may not even think about visiting (these guys will make you want to book a flight out to one asap). From Latvia, Peru, the Kareo Islands, Chernobyl and Belize, discover different corners of the earth in a whole new light! They’ve done it all: slept in hammocks on the beach, gone glamping in a converted van and had wild times in party hostels. Their beautiful and unique photography will have you desperate to jet off somewhere new.

THE COMMON WANDERER

Australian globetrotters Mark and Mim are so worth the follow. Their indie Instagram aesthetic is a reflection of just how cool this couple are. These guys are passionate about sustainable travel and often talk about it in their Instagram stories. We love how honest they are in their captions, highlighting both the highs and lows (mostly highs) of life on the road. Travelling to some of the most Instagrammable places on the planet on a budget, whilst also keeping their blog updated and being sustainable on the road all at the same time ain’t easy! But these two make it all look easy peasy - maybe they’ll inspire you to pack up and go...
