Couple Travel is an
evolving species today post solo travel. A quick look at Instagram affirms
that. Sharing mutual travel goals is in demand when it comes to companionship.
The saying “Marriages are made in Heaven/Universities” needs a
correction. For travelling couples, “Marriages happen on road where the
two travel freaks meet and connect so well.” Instagram is a revelation
that travel vibe invites the tribe.
If you happen to be a
traveler, photographer or even a blogger..possibility is you would be familiar
with the travel couples listed here. These travel couples are truly influencers
in their niche. It is my personal interest to visit the unknown lands someday
that my eyes couldn’t stop from flipping through instagram travel feeds. And
having spent hours there, appreciating the beauty presented to us by travel
lovers, we thought to share with you a list of travel couples who are doing
justice to the beauty of the place they visit, giving us travel goals to go on
hunt for a place without much prior planning and life full of surprises. The

dream,” “I wish I could travel to this land.” If you resonate
with it then book yourself a one-way ticket as the world is waiting to be
discovered. Each couple listed here believes life is better lived with a
backpack. Also it is revealed that the life showcased on their instagram account
is in contrast to their real life.
Sun-soaked locations, gin-filled evenings, lust worthy travel experiences and infectious love of these full-time rovers offer inspiration to those longing to pursue their long neglected dream of travelling the world.

What started as living one’s passion for travel soon got converted into inspiration for many and took no longer to make a living out of it. Marie and Jake could see the potential of insta story tellling upon touching 30000 followers. And hence consistency in their work was their key forte. Not all disagreements are waste. Sometimes, it pushes you to come to a point where you see a new beginning. This holds true for the duo. Whilst Marie preferred brighter/sharper and colorful pics, Jake has a liking for softer/warmer/earthier photos. this conflict encouraged them to come up with their customised range of presets to apply to their photos to get a consistent style.
They
only promote products or support causes with a purpose and try to maintain
authenticity in online world. They count Indonesia as the best place to
experience diversity and is surely a photographer’s paradise. Other
destinations close to their heart are the Philippines, Mexico and Sri Lanka
5)
The Finnish-Norwegian power-couple is a must follow insta account to feed the wanderlust in you. They believe travelling is not only about visiting places but also you get to meet the people along the way and absorb different cultures. Travel for them is forming a connection you share with your fellow traveler, the destination you wish to visit and the locals who make you feel safe and at home. Samuel is a professional photographer, which is a plus allowing them to consider work assignments as an opportunity to travel the road less travelled.
6)
Bea
and Jéremy both have a deep interest in travel. Having taken an exit from their
career in 2013 to create Mr and Mrs Monnet, there sole aim was to travel the
world. They are based in Hong Kong when not in foreign land. Bea is a lawyer
with degree in marketing and economics. The lesser known fact about the duo
which many dont know is they get married every year in a different religion.

Travel and wine are synonymous to Elise and Domenic. The duo is currently in South Australia. Their passion for wine has taken them to learn the process of making it, tasting it, drinking it and the whole art of wine making. Fortunately, they own a winery i.e.
8)
This duo is truly digital nomad. One fine day the couple decided to make an exit from life of “normality” and venture into the mysterious. They quit their corporate jobs in America. But you know travel doesn’t come free. So, they did it with all planning. Working remotely, renting out their LA home, selling off cars were few to start
9)
Road
is their home. X & K met through a common friend at a Mexican Cafe only to
be hooked together and travel the world and create memories. But there story
wasn’t easy as it sounds. They had a long distance relationship, which soon
converted into road-based relationship as Xavier sold off his business in
switzerland and moved to San Diego to live and travel together with our Katie.
In just a year, they happen to visit Greece, Sri
Lanka, Bali, Japan, Thailand, Egypt, India, Morocco, Bahamas and flood us with
their stories at Gram.

This
couple left L.A. for the world, as they provide travel guides and inspire
wanderlust for all. From romantic snowy moments in Finland to the white sandy
beaches of the Dominican Republic, we’re in love with their love and their
Instagram-worthy lifestyle.
12 countries and 6000 kms alongwith Jacob is what led to the birth of
Their
story is an example for many that what seems unattainable only couple of years
ago can be achieved only with perseverance and sheer hard work.

Born in small countries (Bulgaria and Israel), Katerina and Yinon happen to meet by chance in New York while waiting in line for salad (lovey-dovey couple).

Although
they love to travel and meet new places, this portuguese couple knows how to
turn their travel dream into a reality. Time and patience are their two
possessions when they travel the world, which help them get the best of the
best shots with just the canvas like background and no unwanted human being in
the frame. Such clear shots are truly a treat to our eyes when we are on their
insta page. Besides sharing the mutual interest for travel, they have similar
clothing taste that Carina is seen stealing Ivo clothes in one of the pics.
Isnt’t that another sign of how complimentary these two are.

waking up to the sound of waves played outside their beach villa. They aim to
make a trip to Antarctica soon to get the satisfaction of having travelled all
seven continents in the world.
17)
Cat and Kev, the face behind
What
seems impossible to many has been experienced by them starting from scuba dive
in one of the most beautiful islands in the world, zipline through a cloud
forest in Costa Rica, hike an active volcano in Guatemala, a 5-course dessert
tasting in Tokyo, or walk on top of the CN Tower. Their passion for food and
adventure has led them to venture into wild luxury escapes. They have
chronicled each of their travel story well over For Two, Please, a bilingual (English
and Mandarin) travel blog motivating couples and travellers with passion for
travel to challenge themselves and step out if their comfort zone and travel
the world. So if you need, vacation ideas for getaway or luxury travel

Victoria
and Terrence, a travel loving couple treads the unbeaten path. They are usually
found chilling in a resort, road tripping, photographing in a forest or exploring
a new city. VIctoria had been to 49/50 states and 7 canadian provinces before
turning 14. She is in charge of content, social media and model across all her
pics. Travel comes genetic to Victoria and her wanderlust spirit is an
inspiration for many. She believes life is a matter of choices you make in
life. You can achieve anything you wish, all you have to do is work for it and
make it your dream that you see via naked eyes.
Terrence
takes the onus for photography, technology and planning rental cars, thereby
fulfilling their common interest to travel globally. They took their first trip
together in 2015 and there is no stopping them.
19)
Nanja’s
feed is flooded with Summers spent in Geece, enjoying natural swimming holes in
Mexico, experiencing the raw beauty of Jordan, appreciating the serenity of
world’s least populated countries New Zealand and demystifying many more lands
all with her companion @Jason. Jason is from New Zealand
with home base Australia. The duo is currently living in Germany only to be
headed to Spain, France soon.
20)
Mutual
passion for travel and photography got Andrew and Emily hear life’s calling. On
a rainy and gin-dipped evening in East London, the duo decided to venture into
unknown and booked themselves on a one-way ticket to Mexico with cameras, laptops,
backpacks with suffice clothing and enough funds to survive next two years .
They believe
in slow-travel, living-breathing and falling in love with every country they
enter. Through their travel and observations around, they wish to share with
you the positives travel can impart in you. Their blog Alongdustyroads offers
you enough dose to feed your wanderlust with travel guides and tips to travel
considerately. Back in the UK, the duo
continues to chronicle their travel journey offering you inspiration to find
your own dusty road to create memories someday.
21)
The
duo loves exploring new places, cultures and meeting new people. Hence
travelling far and wide offers them all three. They count Indonesia as their
favourite destination, courtesy its healthy food, friendly locals, diving,
hiking, sunny weather, volcanoes, waterfall and beautiful beaches. Picture
this: Early morning hike followed by relaxed afternoon of fresh coconuts at a
beach, evening full of foot a massages along with a glass
of wine in a jacuzzi. This is how they summarise their day.
22)
Charles loves sky and Doranne loves her. Most of the times we feel, we happen to visit the most beautiful place but blame our poor photography skills or unavailability of sound camera to do justice to the place. Same thing happened to them as well when they decided to buy proper camera for their new project @themerriedlife. Their roles are divided but complement each other well. He captures memories and comes up with crazy photographs and she does the editing. The images on their gram feed showcase a spectrum of aesthetics with a mix of dreamy, happy and vibrant images. The couple took their wedding vows in Bali, a destination most would-be couples long to visit. They are the most fortunate ones having witnessed the Northern Lights. The most precious part of their travel journey is having an opportunity to spend quality time together with less human intervention.
The
surprising thing about Doranne is she holds a full time job in Finance while
Charles belongs to aviation. So, most* of the trips are extended weekend
getaways minus two planned long trips that they take every year.
23)
If
numbers matter, Mike and Anne are on their #2615th day of celebrating what they
call the ” world’s longest honeymoon.” Having left for honeymoon in Jan 2012, the couple is adventurous to
visit 7 continents, 53 countries, 44 states and 873 regions. In their journey
so far, they have tasted the rawness of remote villages, the occasional luxury,
the natural landscapes and many adventurous places. They prefer having a loose
itinerary and welcome on-ground recommendations.
24)
Call
them bloggers, travellers, cat lovers, travel couple, photographer, they
justify each of the given tag. Running two travel blogs, Independent Travel
Cats and Finding the Universe, Jessica Norah and Laurence Norah first met in
Italy in 2014 onto to get engaged in California with marriage vows on ship in
Atlantic Ocean. Currently living in Scotland, Jessica is best introduced as a
cat-loving psychologist from the United States and Laurence is a whisky-loving
landscape photographer from the UK. Lately the couple shared their travel
itinerary would be around Scotland, Catalonia, Iceland, the Seychelles, and the
United States.
25)
These
wine connoisseurs are called @TheWiningHills over insta for a reason. Their
love for wine and travel is celebratory. Their gram feed is well documented
featuring their sabbatical year in Bordeaux, France. Jeromie and Madeline have
spent over 6 years of togetherness and are still counting having travelled over
27 countries. One lesser known fact
about Madeline is she started having coffee after moving to Sydney and
surprising fact about Jeromie is he is over 6’8″ tall.
Travel
is the way to connect with each other for them. The realization came to them
whilst they were on their first international trip in college to Greece. They
loved the place so much that they chose Santorini in 2016 and got hitched
there.
26)
Their story is beautiful. Romantic, Adventurous,
Rovers to core and mostly found on road. It is said they first met while
Backpacking in Thailand. George is a Brit and Hanna is an American bae with
mutual interest to travel and make world their home. They take pride in
spending months together exploring South East Asia. Year
2019 is gonna be an adventurous one for these two. They aim to travel the world
and explore 40 plus countries over 2 years. They are welcoming opportunities
and experiences that motivate them to resume their travel culture and look
forward top associate with brands who appreciate travel.
27)
Travel and fitness are a big fad for these two. Tony & Thera Messina have been travelling together ever since they met 8 years ago. Although they are full-time business professionals but still manage to find time to travel. Their aim was to visit 7 continents before they turn 30 and they are fortunate to have touched all minus Antarctica. But only a traveller would understand the more one travel, the greater lies the unknown lands to be explored. When not travelling, you may find the duo exercising, planning next itinerary or living a healthy lifestyle. You may follow their page for more travel stories.
With such a clan of travel couples listed here (am sure we would have missed a few, give us a heads up on worthy names and we would love to incorporate here), all one needs is a backpack, camera and a onewayticket to dream destination.
