Lately, Instagram has become my full-on guilty pleasure. Chalk it up to my love of photography and visual storytelling, I suppose, but I just can’t get enough of it.
And while some people may bemoan the way the platform has changed since it’s humble insta-beginnings (you know, when posting a photo actually happened instantly, not after careful curation, post-processing, and further manipulation within the app itself), I’ve thoroughly enjoyed its evolution and still get unreasonably excited whenever new filters and editing options are released.
The accounts I want to share with you today are the ones that keep me coming back regularly for more delicious eye candy. Some are big accounts you’ve probably heard of, others belong to good friends of mine who deserve more recognition, and others are just people whose photos I’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon randomly while browsing one hashtag or another.
In any case, I hope to introduce you to something new today to feed your wanderlust, your creative soul, your burgeoning inner photographer or even just give your twitchy thumbs a way to pass the time. Enjoy!

Because pugs on surfboards and other fun stuff.

If you’re not familiar with Matador Network, do yourself a favor and follow this account ASAP. They feature the photos of adventurous world travelers (they’ve even featured mine a time or two) and they will inspire you to step up your travel photography game in a big way.

Female badassery + beautiful landscapes = mind-blowingly inspiring.

My good friend and fellow travel blogger Jeremy is a seriously talented photographer who somehow even manages to make me wanderlust for the good ol’ US of A.

Megan is a good friend of mine and a professional photographer with a wanderlusting heart. She knows how to tell a story with every photo she takes and I find myself getting lost in her feed more often than I should admit. Her work has been featured on this blog and I am hoping to collaborate with this talented beauty more in the future.
laviwashere
I met Lavi this year at TBEX Costa Brava and quickly bonded over Spanish tapas and day drinking (and, like, photography and blog-related stuff, obvs). She now impresses me on the reg with the beautiful shots from her mirrorless Fujifilm.

Gloria is another blogger I’ve been enamored with ever since our meeting at TBEX. Her Instagram (and her blog, and her Snapchat, and…) oozes with spunky personality and her captions are as hilarious as her photos are beautiful.
travelbabbo
Eric Stoen–family travel blogger and dad of the year for probably the last 10 years or so. Making world travel with kids look effortlessly cool one Instagram upload at a time. I love his hashtag #takeyourkidseverywhere.

Catchy handle? Check. Pretty photos of wine and other pink stuff? Check.
theborderlessproject
Fun travel photography full of whimsy from a Peruvian/American duo. I don’t know these two personally, but something tells me we’d get along just fine!
