If I’m not travelling, then I’m definitely dreaming about all the places in the world that I’d love to visit. Usually, it involves endless scrolling through Instagram accounts that I follow and admire. We all love looking at pretty landscape pictures and gorgeous destinations around the world, don’t we?
That’s why today I decided to share 12 Instagram travel accounts that never fail to inspire travel more and give me a bit of motivation when I’m feeling in a slump. Take a look but be warned, I am not responsible for spontaneous bookings and flight tickets.

@jacoblaukaitis
Jacob is a Lithuanian creator who you might remember from my recent Reading, Watching and Listening post. One thing that I admire the most about Jacob is that he is such a positive person. After a life-changing road accident, he decided to live each and every day as it was his last, meaning that he tries to get the most out of his day and appreciates even the smallest wonders of the world. He has a YouTube channel as well if you want to check it out.
@shutupandgo
Shut Up and Go is a travel blog and a very much inspiring travel account created by Damon & Jo who are travellers and YouTubers. Damon and Jo are inspiring on their own but the community they created with Shut Up and Go is incredible. This account is for those who don’t make excuses or, at least, want to not make an excuse to live the life they want to. From funny love stories on the road to new discoveries for the next adventure, you can find it all on @shutupandgo.
