50 Inspiring Travel Accounts to Follow on Instagram

Who doesn’t love scrolling through Instagram and stumbling across an unfamiliar account with absolutely captivating travel, nature, and wildlife images?

Instagram is one of my favorite tools for finding new travel destination inspiration and planning out my trips, and nothing is more exciting than when I discover a new account with exactly the type of information I’ve been searching for.

So, I’ve rounded up 50 of my favorite inspiring travel accounts to follow on Instagram! These are all accounts that I personally follow and love; some have massive followings while others are a bit smaller, and some focus more on the art of photography itself while others are all about personalizing their captions and telling stories. For me, all of that diversity is exactly what makes this group of travel accounts so wonderful!

There’s no order to this list, so make sure to check them all out below:
