UK travel bloggers rocking Instagram – my favourite influencers to follow
Oh, how I do love scrolling through beautiful pictures and short travel tales on Instagram. It’s one of my favourite indulgences at the end of a day. However, a peek over Mr Tin Box’s shoulder at the weekend reminded me that not everyone’s feed is sprinkled with milky blue mountains and oceans that stretch out to meet the sunset. His timeline is packed full of shiny car parts, work out tips and Dwayne Johnson. I’ll be honest, I do love The Rock but Instagram is a place where I crave travel inspiration. If you feel the same then I can recommend checking out some of the top UK travel influencers and their travel blogger accounts.
UK travel bloggers rocking Instagram in 2019
Below are my favourite family travel influencers. And don’t forget, you can also follow my family travel Instagram feed here: Tin Box Traveller on Instagram. My grid includes snaps from our recent trips to Crete in Greece, Lake Garda and Venice in Italy, Lisbon in Portugal and a family cruise, plus plenty of UK travel inspiration from self-catering holidays in Cornwall to family fun in Yorkshire.

Wandermust Family
Leona, her husband and daughter love adventure and luxury travel. Her IG grid is full of fantastic family travel inspiration from hiking the Great Wall of China to experiencing luxury in the Middle East with everything in between from their recent Round the World Trip!
My Travel Monkey
Follow Ting, a top UK travel blogger, and her travel monkeys on their adventures at home and abroad. You’ll find a mix of scenery and family shots which are bright and engaging. If you’re looking for family travel inspiration then there’s plenty here. Ting has recently returned from a luxury break in Greece – bliss!
Like Love Do
Donna loves a brightly coloured photo and has an eye for seeing something different. You’re sure to find snaps from all over the world as well as plenty of London historic sights, bars and restaurants. This summer Donna went on a Norwegian Fjords cruise – I was so jealous! You can read more about it on Cruising With Kids.
Jenography
Jennifer is a US-born, London-based journalist who celebrates family travel with flair, from camel-riding to cocktails. She’s recently been to Tuscany so I’ve been drooling over her Italian trip highlights.
Mum on the Brink
Monika’s account shares their crazy adventures sailing, campervanning and days out, as well as showing how living with less helps them travel more. There’s plenty of inspiration for outdoor holidays on Monika’s feed – it’s a lifestyle we love too.
We Blog Travel
Amanda, the Tall Fella and their two girls (9 and 16) share images of their family adventures both close to home and further afield.
Dais Like These
Daisy has three kids and her grid is full of pictures of them enjoying anything from a local day out to a trip of a lifetime, and everything else in between! Throw in a pretty destination shot or two, and you have a whole host of family travel inspiration.
Suitcases & Sandcastles
Clare loves telling stories with photos of beautiful places. Her grid is filled with colour and family travel inspiration from Greek islands to UK beaches, European city breaks to fun cultural finds. It’s the Greek island shots that always make me pause my scrolling for a while!
Mummytravels
Beaches worldwide are a favourite but Cathy and her daughter love to chase blue skies around the world. From cities to countryside to coast, her feed is full of bright colours and travel inspiration. Prepare yourself for blue, lots and lots of gorgeous blue!
Monkey & Mouse
Jenny loves to show her followers the best of Scotland with her two home educated, curly haired, 7 and 5-year-olds. Aside from Scotland they spend time every year choosing several different countries to visit around the world.
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). On her grid you’ll find inspiration from their epic African road trip, adventures through Asia (particularly India), with a bit of Peak District (their new home) for good measure.
Globetotting
Katja, her three children (3, 8 and 11) and her Instgram-shy husband have recently returned to the UK after nearly 12 years living abroad (Australia, India and Mexico). She’s just as likely to share trips from far-flung lands as she is days out in London and is a firm believer that you can – and should! – take your kids everywhere.
Flying with a Baby
I love Carrie’s pictures from far flung destinations and her tips for traveling with kids. Her summer travels in Australia looked incredible.
A Modern Mother

Susanna ‘s Instagram is full of travel inspiration for families with teens. From California to Cornwall and everywhere in between.
The Pigeon Pair & Me
Nell has an eye for the scenic and beautiful. She prefers landscapes to family snaps, but you might just catch the occasional picture of her 8 and 6-year-old sneaking into her feed.
Otis & Us
Katy loves to travel and share her family adventures. Her Instagram grid is all about life outdoors, camping, glamping, adventures and family travel. Oh and maybe a beach and a pretty door thrown in for good measure.
Have Kids Can Travel
Laura and her photographer husband document their family adventures across the UK and Europe. With their three teens and an almost-teen, you’ll find plenty of outdoor action, big skies and as many mountains as they can walk up.
Mini Travellers
Karen shares her adventures on the grid which range from days out in the UK and camping, to 5 * luxury villas and African family travel.
Travel Loving Family

Lisa’s grid is full of travel inspiration for families with young children from camping and music festivals to self drive boating holidays and luxury family cruises.
One Tiny Leap
Maria is an award-winning travel photographer based in Brighton. I love her pictures from home and from her travels In Portugal where she heads each year to visit family. It’s given me a real desire to visit for longer than the one day I had in Lisbon earlier this year.
Sorry About the Mess
Chloe documents family travel with her three boys aged 7 and under. Her forte is her visually engaging travel videos that capture the essence of why we treasure family holidays so much – the special moments and the memory making.
POD Travels
Charly shares her overseas travels and UK adventures with her 7-year-old daughter and husband. Always with a camera in hand, her feed focuses on places and people with discovery, exploration and adventure at the heart.
Picture Taker Memory Maker
Chloe is passionate about showing her three girls (11, 10 and 8) the world and loves documenting their adventures on camera as they travel as a family – the chaos, the calm and all the moments in between.
