15 Awesome Travel SnapChat Accounts to Follow

Remember when SnapChat used to be known for people sending naked photos that would delete after five seconds? That was cute. But now there’s way better uses for the social media app, especially when put in the hands of world travelers.

Imagine having your own personal travel shows and tours of far away places, in the palm of your hands for you to view whenever you’re feeling a little wanderlust. That’s what will happen when you follow these full-time travelers, who Snap to literally put the world in your hands!

I’m a full-time solo traveler (MyLifesAMovie) and I use SnapChat to show what’s really going on behind the scenes when I travel and am taking those seemingly perfect-looking Instagram shots. There’s a lot of sarcasm involved and my facial expressions don’t hide anything. I also do a lot of tutorials for travel tips and tricks, like how to use the flexible option to get hundreds of dollars off flights, how to pack a carry-on, and even how to use a GoPro to get photos like mine! I’ll be all over Southeast Asia in May, and up to no good in the mean time!

Anna (AnnaEverywhere) is another full-time traveler whose Snapchat ranges from a variety of entertaining things. She’s really good at capturing the behind-the-scenes life of travel bloggers, for instance; she snapped me while I was attempting to take a GoPro selfie over the edge of a cliff, and also snapped Matt (ExpertVagabond) after he accidentally broke the shifter in a beach buggy in Cozumel. She also manages to always find cute animals to snap, and shows her skills when practicing aerial! Right now she’s snapping from Havana, Cuba!

Alicia (Alicia Explores) has quite the entertaining Snapchat account with her lovely travels and witty presentation. Recently I just watched her do a full on conversation as a face-morphed tiger, and I’m pretty sure she was Snapping it from her seat on the plane! She also likes to include the people in her life who are close to her, which, I’m sure get a kick out of being her Snapchat victims! See what shenanigans she’s currently up to in the UK right now!

Tom (TravelTomTom) is a full-time traveler who uses his Snapchat to show what’s really going on during his travels instead of just looking at his beautiful Instagram pictures (I’ve seen them, they’re pretty great). See how he goes from slumming it in 0 star hostels to the most exclusive 5 star hotels, and how he sips cocktails on rooftop bars then will go have a beer with locals and try the local food. He cliff jumps, snorkels, and climbs mountains for a shot of an amazing sunset. Right now you’ll be able to see him snapping from Southeast Asia!

Edna is a serial expat and the blogger behind Expat Edna. She left home at 18 to see the world, and after eight years of bouncing around Asia and Europe she now travels from a home base in Paris. Her snaps will introduce you to delicious eats from around the world, from the best cichetti in Venice and cocktails in Paris, to craft beer in Japan and night markets in Taipei. Don’t watch when hungry: you’ve been warned!

Lee has technically been to every country in the world (LeeAbbamonte.com), and says that he loves Snapchat because it’s an unfiltered look into his daily life; both traveling and at home. You can expect to see some awesome scenery and lots of commentary from all corners of the globe, with a sense of humor and sarcasm. Plus he tends to throw in some pizza, sports, music, and emojis! Lee will actually be traveling to Longyearbyen, the Northernmost town in the world, where I just was last month, where he’ll be departing for an expedition to the North Pole.

Gloria (TheBlogAbroad) lives on the road and uses her SnapChat to share a range of things; from what she sees and experiences while out and about exploring, or simply doing her day-t0-day rants and musings about life. She says that it’s true that being a full-time travel blogger is complex, but with SnapChat’s non-edited medium, it allows us to show others that we are JUST like them. She says it’s that unfiltered connection in real-time that will only make Snapchat continue to grow.

Will (TheBrokeBackpacker) is currently on a four year backpacking adventure which he’s doing without the use of flights. He has recently been Snapchatting his journey as he criss-crosses Iran by hitchhiking and tackles trekking in the Pakistani mountains. Right now, he is driving a psychedelic tuk tuk across India, and snapping the whole way!

Steph Be (TravelBreak.net) likes to show the behind the scenes from her travel experiences which consist of adventure, lifestyle, and culture. She says to not be surprised if you see her dancing on a cliff on Snapchat, where you’ll later see it on her travel blog or Instagram as a an actual pic!

Scott (Intrepid Escape) aims to inspire people to travel through his own travels, which he’s been doing for quite some time after the travel bug hit him at an early age. In fact, when I asked him to send send me a few snaps he wrote back that he was casually searching through his phone for some at La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona…where he ended up sending me a Snap of Amsterdam!

Go super early (6:30-8) to avoid anyone in your photos AND to avoid annoying other travelers trying to take photos 😬

We also got a few group pics with the Travel Tribe! It’s definitely been extremely fun being here a second time with them!!

  • Kyrgyzstan is rising in popularity as a unique travel destination and its easy to see why!

From the beautiful nature to the well preserved culture, plus being extremely safe, it really makes it an ideal destination, but definitely expect some logistical hurdles 😁

Horseback riding in Chon Kemin and visiting Ala Archa National Park are a must! That's also where we learned about the Golden Eagles, a centuries old tradition practiced by their nomad culture that is still done today, mostly to continue keeping the traditions alive and teaching visitors about it.

Do you want to visit Kyrgyzstan?

I'm currently hosting a custom created "luxe-adventure" through the 5 Stans of Central Asia with my group adventure community @mylifesatraveltribe! This trip is in high demand so if youd'd to join one of them, please follow there and sign up for our notifications email list linked on the bio, as we dont publicly announce or send out our itineraries. 😁

  • I was one of the last foreigners permitted in Virunga National Park in D.R. Congo before it was closed due to many armed and dangerous groups occupying it. 

That experience was one of the most memorable ones in my life, and part of why I’ll always say DRC is one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to (4 times).

But DRC is also one of the most corrupt countries, with some of the most horrific ongoing atrocities committed on the local Congolese people, the environment, and the animals by greedy, heartless humans.

Deforestation, illegal mining for minerals used to make your electronics, and destruction (plus human abuse) are a part of why the animals there suffer.

Poaching for bushmeat and to steal baby primates to sell as pets is another.

If you’ve ever seen a primate, especially chimpanzees, kept as a personal pet or on display, its parents were likely killed so it could be kidnapped. UAE and Gulf countries, Thailand, China, Eastern EU countries, and even people in the USA are all guilty of this.

That’s why one of the organizations I’ve become an ambassador for in D.R.Congo is @lwiro_primates . 

Lwiro Primates take in injured, abandoned, and smuggled primates, and they rehabilitate and care for them, even during a time when their own homeland is a very scary please.

So I am kindly asking today on World Giving Day for Apes, to send them a donation, or at least share their story or the info in this post. Anything helps, nothing does not.

And if you ever see a chimp as a pet, please ask the owner if they’re aware that its parents were likely killed just for it to be kidnapped and forced to be a pet. 😡

The link to the fundraiser is on Lwiro’s page and I’ll share on my Stories!

I’ve brought about 100 travelers to D.R.Congo, and they all can attest to what a beautiful and unique place it is. I pray and dream for the day that we can safely return there and bring tourism back.

  • The highlight reel of Skardu, Pakistan! If you'd like the behind the scenes, see my previous posts or the story highlight! But also, yes, it really is this beautiful!

Do you like pretty highlight reels or do you prefer the struggle clips? 

Asking for a friend...who has a lot of both... 😬
  • The Photo VS the Moment in Skardu, Pakistan (wait for the videos after the photo) for anyone who thinks getting photos is easy, behold, freezing water, climbing on rocks, and magical geese who apparently want to be featured in the pics.!

(Comment "Skardu" and ill DM you my full travel guide plus how to get notifications for the group trip next year!)

What's the wildest thing you've done for a photo??

Thank you Destination Pakistan for the offer to work together and for helping get this footage so I didn't have to always use my tripod or selfie stick!
  • Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque!

The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels!

Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below!

What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??
  • Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather...

And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍

Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort!

Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore!

PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions??

More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??

The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels! Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below! What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??

Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather... And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??
