If a picture is worth a thousand words, what about a video?
We all need inspiration for our next adventure– or at the least, a little distraction. All of the Snapchat accounts below will provide you with plenty of both as their owners scamper around the globe capturing it all via multi-second videos.
To quickly follow any of the people below, just open your Snapchat camera and take a picture of the Snapcodes below (the yellow dotted square with the ghost).
1. Anna Everywhere, @Anna-Everywhere
Blog: Anna Everywhere, Instagram: @anna.everywhere
Out of all the research I did, Anna Everywhere’s name seemed to pop up the most. She’s quite the travel vet having been on the road for over 10 years now. And her story is a bit unique to the majority of bloggers on this list– she didn’t quit her day job for life on the road. She just started off her adult life as a nomadic one. Anna’s lived in many different places around the world and has explored 70 countries from various bases, managing to publish a book on international law and get a masters degree along the way.
Where she is now: New Hampshire
2. Drew Binskey @drewbinsky
Blog: The Hungry Partier, Instagram: drewbinsky
Drew loves food, adventure, and partying. His Snaps certainly reflect that. Those things high on your priority list? Follow him!
Where he is now: Bolivia
3. Travel Dave, @DAVEBRETTUK
Blog: Travel Dave, Instagram: @TravelTomTom
I love the fact that he reviews luxury hotels for a living. If you’re interested in traveling to Southeast Asia or India, and you love luxury hotels, that’s where he’ll be all of 2016.
Where he is now: India
4. Matt Karsten, @ExpertVagabond
Blog: Expert Vagabond, Instagram: @ExpertVagabond
Professional Photographer Matt Karsten shoots beautiful Snaps, but his story alone is inspirational enough to get you off that couch and on a plane. Having barely traveled until the age of 29, he’s now been a full time traveler for five years.
Where he is now: New Hampshire (I’m guessing Matt Karsten and Anna Everywhere are friends? They’re Snapping from the same place right now.)
5. Travel With Bender, @travelwitbender
Blog: Travel With Bender, Instagram: @travelwithbender
This Snapchat account is unique because it follows a family of four. They’ve been to over 67 countries and show you how to do it with kids in tow.
6. Adventurous Kate, @AdventurousKate
Blog: Adventurous Kate, Instagram: adventurouskate
As the title of her blog describes, Kate’s brand is centered around solo travel for women. Like many of the people on this list, she quit her job in her mid 20’s and is now a full time solo-traveler.
Where she is now: South Africa
7. Lee Abbamonte, @LeeAbbamonte
Blog: LeeAbbamonte.com, Instagram: @LeeAbbamonte
This guy has been to every country in the world. And he claims to be the youngest American to have ever done so. Enough said?
Where he is now? Dewey Beach
8. Krista Simmons, @krista_simmons
Blog: kristasimmons.com, Instagram: kristasimmons
Foodies, this one’s for you.
Krista Simmons is global correspondent for Travel + Leisure Magazine, so her Snaps are food porn in gorgeous locations.
Where she is now: New York City
9. Expat Edna, @ExpatEdna
Blog: Expat Edna, Instagram: expatedna
Edna Zhou’s lives abroad as an expat, traveling often but using Paris as her base. Her situation is a lot like mine, just replace Paris with Buenos Aires.
Where she is now: Rio de Janeiro at the Olympics.
10. Chelsea Handler, @chelseahandler
www.chelseahandler.com, Instagram: @chelsea handler
Chelsea Handler is hilarious.
She’s also traveling around the world filming her new Netflix-exclusive series Chelsea, so she’s been Snapping some interesting destinations.
Where she is now: Los Angeles (I think)
Honorable Mention: Gary Arndt
I can’t technically put him on this list because as far as I know, he doesn’t have a Snapchat account, but Gary Arndt has an Instagram account and blog (Everything, Everywhere) that will blow your mind. As a three time winner of travel photographer of the year with all seven continents and a 180 countries in his repertoire, this guy will give you serious ideas about places you’ve probably never heard of.
