Producer and photographer Murad Osmann and his girlfriend have traveled everywhere from Paris to Hong Kong together.

Having coined the hashtag #followmeto, his photos will truly inspire you to do exactly that.

Originally from Tokyo, Japanese photographer and professional wanderer Hiroaki Fukuda takes a different perspective on things. With interesting angles and contorted views, you’ll get a unique viewpoint from his photos. Focusing primarily on the nature aspect of travel, he captures photos of canals, waterfalls, and occasionally some with his feet dangling over a cliff.

Would you like to spend all of your time traveling and eating? Girl Eat World’s distinct images show her in various places around the world holding different foods in front of monumental sites.

Warning: following this account may cause extreme hunger.

Foster Huntington: @fosterhunting

Though the idea of driving across the country for an extended period of time may not sound appealing, Foster Huntington‘s photo stream proves otherwise. As a surfer, many of his photos consist of hidden beaches and coves along the West Coast. To experience this ambitious lifestyle on the road sans bug bites and dirty hair, follow him to find photos of barren, cactus-lined desert roads and epic tree houses that exist along the highways of America.

Daniel Noll: @uncornered_market
