Travel & Adventure Inspiration on Instagram

One of the reasons I moved to Colorado was because of the incredible scenery I would see in photos on Instagram, as well as the people who were constantly on the move, constantly outdoors, and constantly challenging themselves.

So it is not a surprise that I am now finding travel inspiration on Instagram, and I've got 10 of my favorite travel & adventure accounts to share with you!

Do you have any favorite travel Instagram accounts or blogs I should be following? Be sure to share them in the comments! 

1. World of Wanderlust (@worldwanderlust)

Brooke is 23 and has traveled to over 50 countries - mostly solo. This girl is an incredible inspiration because she keeps things real, is always on the move, and has the best blog! As an aspiring travel blogger, I am learning a ton from Brooke!


2. Passion Passport (@passionpassport)

Passion Passport is a great account to follow for international inspiration, an engaged community and they also host some awesome Instagram Challenges with amazing prizes. I mostly just love getting severe cases of wanderlust when I see them pop up in my feed.


3. Tiff Penguin (@tiffpenguin)

Tiffany Nguyen is awesome because she shares my name, but also because she takes ridiculously beautiful photos! Her photos are very outdoor-centered, so you can also get some outdoor inspiration from her feed.



4. Liz Carlson (@youngadventuress)

Liz is great to follow! She is a female travel blogger, and was recently featured in an article on BBC Travel about how she quit her job for full-time travel (FYI - it doesn't happen overnight). I also love following her on Snapchat (youngadventuress).



5. Melissa Hie (@girleatworld)

Melissa Hie has the most yummy Instagram feed: travel + food?! I'm in heaven. I love when I see her photos in my feed because I not only get hungry for international food, but also love to check out what's going on in the scene behind her treats.



6. Dame Traveler (@dametraveler)

Dame Traveler is a community of women travel inspiration, so it's obvious why I love following them. They also have travel stories on their website and participate in Instagram takeovers!



7. Candace Rardon (@candacerardon)

I discovered Candace because of a Dame Traveler Instagram takeover - her photos are the drawings of the places she visits. I love how she merges art and travel with her drawings!



8. Murad Osmann (@muradosmann)

Murad has an amazing, #FollowMeTo series on Instagram that involved his girlfriend walking towards something during their travels and he is holding her hand. I love this idea, and love staring at his photos! He also has a book of his Follow Me To series.



9. Kate McCulley (@adventurouskate)

Kate McCulley is such a fun person to follow! She is also another solo female travel blogger and her blog is chock-full of tips, photos, and chronicles of her awesome experiences. She is also a blast to follow on Snapchat, and is a great inspiration to aspiring solo-female travelers.



10.  Amanda Williams (@dangerousbiz)

Amanda Williams' blog is named, "A Dangerous Businesses," after a quote from The Hobbit! I know my love for travel narratives has much to do with why I love travel, and I thought it was so neat that she named her handle after one of the best travel narratives!

It's Business Time: I'm Launching My Social Media Company!

"I know what you're trying to say..."


Aside from loving the song, "Business Time," by Flight of the Concords, it's business time here at Tiffiny Epiphany, which is currently in my kitchen.

For the last few months, I have barely been able to juggle my day job with my personal dreams and aspirations of being my own bread-winner. I want to teach yoga, travel, write, and somehow pay my bills.

I've decided to trade some time sleeping for some time creating, planning and dreaming. Things have been re-prioritized, and now it's time to dive all into launching and growing my social media consulting + management business. It's just me, no fancy name, yet. Just another adventure here at Tiffiny Epiphany. My dream is to see it grow into a media company so I can hire on friends who also want to use their amazing talents to support themselves.

If I can climb a 14er, I can handle this, right? Duh. Here's to living the dream!
