On the search for some Instagram users who post amazing pictures while traveling. Aside from the big ones like National Geographic and Patagonia, who are some users worth checking out?
Love this question! So many good ones already listed, here are a few I'll add to the list, in no particular order...
Ok...maybe more than a few, but there are so many good ones!
We think we do a pretty good job: http://www.gramfeed.com/urbanadventures
Why? We have passionate people who run Urban Adventures businesses in currently 125 destinations around the world. Each day we scan the feeds of these cool insiders and pick a great image of something cool going on in one of those places.
Right now we've got our team in Tokyo doing a takeover and showing us some great lesser known places and stories from around their city.
Obviously as the General Manager - I am biased but really I think the passion and local knowledge comes through and not in a stock photo type of way. I'd love to know if you agree?
these are my absolute favorite from all over the world:
doyoutravel, cultoflee, passionpassport, jordanherschel, misshattan, cntraveler, infinitelegroom, humzadeas, brooklynhawaii, travelandleisure, cityofcapetown, gotlib, matadornetwork, brianladder, aditzt, seyzilmaz, thenorthface
Urban Adventures. Real pictures, true stories.
Nikoleta Zavou and Aggelos Karagiannis as well and last but not least Giorgos Marinakis
Check out @NatGeoTravel -- we've got the best travel photos.
Me of course! (gozacgo)
My wife and I just left the US for a long long trip around the world..Our first stop was Mexico City and now Oaxaca.
From here we are going to road trip around the US (anywhere between Cleveland to Colorado Springs and then head to Eastern Europe (places like Croatia, Greece, Turkey before going to Vietnam/Cambodia and Southeast Asia in general.
We will be taking pictures all along the way!
Great question, and thanks for getting some great ideas of who else to follow!

Check out "peleguz". She and her husband have been traveling the world and she has some great photos from her trip everywhere they go. Her photos are more artistic and give you a good feel for the places they visit and that you may want to go to one day.
