5 Twitter accounts you should follow if you want a different experience of travel

If you love to travel but you’re a little sick of traditional travel blogging, check out these Twitter accounts. Each one gives a different perspective on travel and cultures around the world. 

@indig_geotags

This Twitter account is dedicated to reminding people that in America, public land is native land. It provides an important reminder of how history is threaded through our travel experiences, even if we don’t realize it. 

@TheCultureist

Filled with high quality travel stories, with my personal favourite being an article on how to speak like a howler monkey

@Maptia

Maptia combines beautiful photographs with in-depth travel reporting. The account is filled with stunning photos, but if you click through there’s often fascinating insights to be found. 

@decolonialatlas

Take a look at  a map from a different perspective. This twitter account uses maps and infographics to develop a more ethical perspective on geography. 

@outsidemagazine

The ultimate in outdoor travel. Yes, it’s got a particularly North American bent, but it’s filled with helpful outdoor articles, like why vodka is necessary in your first aid kit.
