Seeing the world is great; the cost of traveling to witness it all firsthand isn’t. I’ve heard that Virtual Reality goggles are supposed to be pretty realistic, but again this is a rather costly alternative. I prefer a different, free version of travel accessible right in the comfort of my very own home; Twitter. Twitter is a great place for people to connect and share their sights and experiences from all over the world. Take a look at some of the best travel twitter accounts and why you should follow them all today!
- Lonely Planet
- @LonelyPlanet is one of my all-time favorite twitter accounts to follow. They regularly tweet out images and stories from people and places across the globe that feature everything from unique recipes and food to cultural pasttimes. If you’re only in it for the pictures, their Instagram is also definitely worth following as well.
- Travel
- For an account whose bio boasts “it’s the journey that counts, not the destination,” @Travel makes us question that statement with all of the amazing photos of travel destinations that they share regularly. Sharing mostly original content, their feed is one that’s full of brand new places we’d love to visit.
- Travel+Leisure
- If you like their magazine, you’ll love the Travel + Leisure Twitter account. Great for gaining inside looks into some of the most beautiful places around the world, @TravelLeisure regularly retweets other travel fanatics’ tweets about travel news, destinations, deals, and more insider knowledge.
- Condé Nast Traveler
- The Condé Nast Traveler Twitter account regularly tweets out articles from their amazing travel-inspired website that features articles and stories on categories ranging from food & drinks to style & design to travel intel, city guides, and more! Follow them @CNTraveler.
- National Geographic Photography
- While their travel account, @NatGeoTravel is great and shares lots of food and culture from all over, the @NatGeoPhoto account is full of gorgeous National Geographic photos. They share a range of interesting things from around the world like storms, animals in the wild, natural phenomena, and more.
- Feet Do Travel
- This fun account is run by Angie and Simon, a couple who decided to quit their jobs and sell everything to make traveling their life full time. On @FeetDoTravel, they regularly share content and stories from less mainstream travel outlets that’s always worth reading. Oh, and they’re both avid scuba divers.
- Peter Bubel
- I’m usually not one for shameless self-promotion, but I’m quite proud of the Twitter presence I’ve established. Travel is a major interest of mine, and I love helping to share news and sights and places to visit with others. If you love a feed full of gorgeous places and people from around the world, consider following me @Peter_Bubel.
