Long gone are the days that we’d go on holiday armed with several disposable cameras to snap photos of our adventures. With most phones now having decent cameras it tends to be a case of point, shoot and upload to Instagram to instantly share with your friends and family!
Where most use it as a day to day photo sharing app, many have gone above and beyond and now use it show us the incredible travels they’re going on (talk about rubbing our noses in it). Here at www.CRUISE.co.uk we’ve hand picked our favourite 12 travel Instagram accounts that are guaranteed to fill you with wanderlust.
Read on to find out all about the sailor dog that kayaks around the world and the woman that travels the world completing her bucket list… Warning – you may want to book a holiday at the end of this article!
Girl Eat World
@girleatworld
Girl Eat World follows Melissa, a girl who combines her love of food and travelling to bring us this incredibly engaging account. It all started off with her hatred of selfies and feeling far too awkward to ask strangers to take a photo of her, so she started taking photos of her food instead… The result? Hello Kitty marshmallows on the streets of Japan, crocodile burgers in Australia and so much more!
World Of Wanderlust
@worldwanderlust
One day this 24-year-old world traveller just decided she wanted to see more of the world, so she booked a one-way ticket to London and her feet haven’t touched the ground since. She takes the most inspiring photos that’ll have you packing your bags and flying off around the world. We know we want to!

Murad Osmann
@muradosmann
Known far and wide for his #followmeto project where he ‘follows’ his model girlfriend around the world, from a festival in Varanasi to the icy terrain of Lake Baikal, it really seems like this pair have seen it all. The images have inspired thousands and once you see them you’ll see why; we can scarcely believe these photos are real!
Sam Horine
@samhorine
New Yorker Sam Horine specialises in abandoned and forgotten places in his home of New York. He captures incredible images of uninhabited locations and pours love into places that would otherwise be forgotten. His account has an overall peaceful vibe with pictures of quiet scenic roads, empty beaches and we’re loving it.
Paris In Four Months
@parisinfourmonths
One day Carin up and moved from her home in Sweden to live in Paris for 4 months to learn more about the language and culture. After her trip came to an end she realised it was exactly where she was supposed to be so she ended up staying permanently. Her account shows you exactly why she loves the city so much, and she’ll probably make you fall in love with it too…
Bucket List Journey
@bucketlistjrny
Follow Annette as she seeks out the best once in a lifetime experiences on her adventure to complete her bucket list. So far she’s bathed rescue elephants in Chiang Rai, been on safari in Africa, zip lined through the Costa Rican rainforest, and that’s only just the start. The photos she uploads are inspiring and she perfectly captures the heart of the destinations. They’ll have you all screaming “take us with you!”

This Wild Idea
@thiswildidea
This account is essential for anyone who’s planning a road trip to the USA, or are just a huge dog lover. Why? Because This Wild Idea documents the adventures of Theron and his best friend Maddie the Coonhound’s road trip across all of the states. Their photos are adorable and the locations are absolutely incredible. What more could you want?
The Blonde Abroad
@theblondeabroad
Get the dumb blonde stereotype out of your head right now because Kiersten is one gutsy lady! She walked away from a career in corporate finance to become a solo female traveller and explore the world, since she’s travelled to 50 countries and hasn’t regretted a single moment. Her photos are bright, colourful and we’re really starting to believe that blondes have more fun…

Rumbo Mediterraneo
@sergibasoli
3 years ago he quit his job to travel the world in a Kayak, then 2 years ago something happened that’d change his life forever. Whilst travelling on the outskirts of Alghero, Sardinia he found a dog, scared and abandoned. So what did he do? Named her Nirvana and took her with him! Since then she’s been named his sailor dog and they go on adventures all around the world together. Can we come too?
That Backpacker
@thatbackpacker
Since she was 18 Audrey has been exploring the world. She finished University and off she went to become a professional travel blogger. She’s worked as an English teacher in South Korea and picked up various other jobs along the way to fund her wanderlust. She even posts her own travel tips on her website!

Uncornered Market
@uncornered_market
14 years ago husband and wife duo Daniel Noll and Audrey Scott bought a one-way ticket to Prague and haven’t looked back since. Since the plunge they’ve travelled to over 90 countries and taken some of the most awe-inspiring holiday photos along the way. We’re practically green with envy!
Millie The Climbing Cat
@pechanga
Ever since Millie’s owner visited her at a shelter and she climbed up onto his shoulders, he knew she’d be an adventurer. Since then he frequently takes her rock climbing with him. Don’t worry though! It’s completely safe, she even has her own special harness and her owner’s always nearby to get her out of sticky situations. Prepare yourself for breath-taking landscape shots and the cutest kitty pics you can imagine!
So there’s our top 12 travel Instagram’s that’ll fill you with wanderlust! What do you think? Do these travellers have you practically green with envy? Have they inspired you to go away on holiday? Let us know in the comments!
