Who to Follow for Family Travel Inspiration on Instagram

If you’re looking for family travel inspiration on Instagram, read on for my favourite accounts. 

I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with instagram; I’m not a massive fan of the over staged and set up shots that seem to flood some grids with a very tenuous link to somehow promoting a mouth wash brand or some such! 

But I DO love instagram for the genuine and inspirational accounts, especially those of other family travel bloggers. Now, they may fill me with massive travel envy, especially when I’m sat at home, but they also provide a great deal of travel inspiration. I try to keep my own account as genuine as possible 

So, if you’re looking for ideas of where to head on your next family-friendly holiday, or if you’re toying with the idea of heading somewhere perhaps a bit off the beaten track and need to see other families taking it on to give you a sense of “if they can do it, we totally can too!” then read on to discover some awesome family travel accounts on Insta:

Jenny – Travelynn Family 

Jenny and her family aim to push the boundaires of family travel and dispel the myth that adventure needs to wait until the kids are older (her boys are aged 3 and 4). I am constantly in awe of their travels, and of their stunning pictures. On her grid find inspiration from their epic African roadtrip, adventures through Asia (particuarly India), with a bit of Peak District (their new home) for good measure.
