Inspire Your Travel Senses

• As a young female, it is my desire to see the world, or at least as much of it as I can before I ‘settle down’.

Now, my prayer and hope is that after graduating from university, I will bag a job that allows me to travel. Or at least pays enough for me to travel wherever I wish to go to.
Following this interest of mine, I discovered and followed certain Instagram accounts that allow me to see others fulfilling their desires and fuel me to chase mine.
So here we go:

Black Adventuristas: @blackadventuristas

This account is catered towards black women who travel far and wide, doing things that they dream of.
They also repost followers’ pictures for the benefit of others as an incentive for more to be seen and done.

Hostel World: @hostelworld

Hostel World is a website that provides services for travellers to stay in accommodation for a cheaper price thereby meeting new people and making new friends.

Yagazie Emezi: @yagazieemezi

If you do not know who she is or you aren’t already following Yagazie’s Instagram account, it is safe to say that are living under a rock.
Yagazie’s account is full of photographs of her travels and as a bonus, her witty cartoon series (I promise you, they are funny) as well as other things that she posts.
She also runs a separate account called Bialere (@bialere) which focuses on young African photographers and aims to exhibit their pieces to the public.

Humans of New York: @humansofny

The Humans of New York account is mostly focused on, you guessed it, the humans of New York (clap for yourself) but it sometimes features other countries exclusively. The man behind the account, Brandon Stanton, photographs the residents of the different parts of New York and interviews then informally, after which he captions the posted photograph with excerpts of the interview.

Humans of Lagos: @thehumansoflagos

This article will not be complete without stating the Humans of Lagos account. It would be unfair of me to mention the American one and leave its Nigerian counterpart behind.
So this account basically does what the American one does, but with a Nigerian twist.
As a Nigerian living in another country, this account allows me to connect with my country again, it allows me to pick up different slang and to reach back into memory.
So if you like what you see, follow these accounts. I assure you, you will not be disappointed.
Yours Truly.
