Each morning the first account we check is Doyoutravel. Why? Because it’s simply the most inspirational travel related account on Instagram. Bright, colourful and wanderlust inducing in the world's most picturesque locations.

A list like this wouldn’t be complete without This Wkndr. In our opinion she has the best travel blog on the internet and her Instagram reflects this.
Beautiful images inspiring wanderlust of epic proportions!

Keep an eye out for Lenses & Locals as they are going to be huge!
This exceptionally talented Aussie photographer couple have set off to travel the world, cameras in hand and with a clear objective; to capture local life through their lenses.
We think they’re doing it pretty well.

In his own words; “I understand the importance of conserving a moment in time through photography and writing”.
This is the type of travel Instagram accounts we love.

The colour, light and vibrancy in his shots will make you want to get up from your desk and set off on an adventure.

Clearly someone who pushes the boundaries of his passion, his shots on Cape Town especially will have your jaw dropping.
