What a great time to be alive!

When travel is the most affordable it has ever been, there are more and more people seeing the world today then any other time in our history. And whenever we aren’t traveling, there is always someone out there sharing their experiences.

Our favorite place to look is Instagram. Our company account @destinationspecialists is always looking out for beautiful photos and wonderful experiences. The best ones get regrammed on the account. Over the months of doing so, we’ve discovered many Filipino travelers sharing their experiences to the world.

These are our favorite Filipino Travel Instagrammers to quench that wanderlust inside of us: 

1. Nella Lomotan

Lost in an alpine dream. Had fun putting my photos together with @lexitsoi’s photo of this Swiss mountain! I took that tiny man from afar as he was walking on a volcano’s crater, and the sky during a starry night somewhere in the Sierra Madres. 🌌 Thanks Alexis for the cool idea to collaborate for a photo (hope you like it)!! #wtnartventures #tinypeopleinbigplaces

After three years of chasing (and failing to see) the elusive bed of clouds, I finally got to experience one! Thank you, universe! But the goal still continues: see a bed of clouds in my home, the Philippines. I will never stop hoping and wishing, and trying even after failing 🙂 #travel #Bali #Indonesia #GunungAgung #hiking

That one weekend I was supposed to feel lonely, that’s when you decided to bring snow. You never cease to bring me joy, Cuenca. I thank God he brought me here.

I'm beginning to keep a list of stories to tell my kids in the future. High on the list is this scene: my bro @carloscang and I chillin' out with the cosmos. This was taken just hours before his surgery in what was and has been an epic battle with cancer. We were talking about the power of the mind; in a universe where stars explode and planets are created every second, truly anything is possible… But really only if we choose to believe it is. 🌏🙏🏻

You feel sweat trickling down your face, dust entering your nostrils and your butt starts to hurt because of the bumpy road. It's not the most comfortable ride but the tropical breeze and scenic view tell you that life is good. . #collageartventures #AirAsiaPH

When the struggles of the world make you feel like curling up, like giving in, be like a snow being thrown off the peak, collecting all your broken pieces together, getting bigger, getting stronger as you fall. And when you fall, find comfort that you won't be a snowball but an avalanche, capable of making an impact to anything you touch. Hugot by @corvaceous #SinoPinas

CAPPADOCIA, TURKEY. The history of hot air balloons in Cappadocia can be traced back to pilots Lars-Eric Möre and Kaili Kidner, who operated the first commercial passenger balloon for a German travel agency in 1991. Before that, locals relied heavily in agriculture and pottery to earn a living. Today, tourism powers the region’s economy. #BBCTravel #LoveTheWorld #tasteintravel #letsgoeverywhere #tlpicks #CNtraveler #lpfanphoto #lonelyplanet #TravelStoke #Travel #igtravel #travelgram #instatravel #adventure #photooftheday #bestoftheday #bestintravel #destinationhunting #travelphotography #ourdailyplanet #thepoortraveler #passionpassport #cappadocia #hotairballoon #turkey #turkiye

In every trip, I cannot go home without fridge magnets for my Mom. When I had the opportunity to take part in the Philippine Tourism Promotions Board's product familiarization tour in Siquijor, Dumaguete, and Bohol last month, we had a tight schedule that I had no time to get magnets from the first 2 destinations. Before boarding the fast craft to Bohol, our Dumaguete tour guide, Ma'am Pearl Galicano, found out about it and asked for my address, saying that she'll look for magnets and ship them to me in Manila. A couple of weeks later, I got not just 1 magnet for each destination, but I had 8 magnets – and she insisted that I shouldn't pay her anything! Thank you Ma'am Pearl. You're proof that it's the people that make tourism in the Philippines more fun and unforgettable. Guys, if you need a highly-recommended tour guide in Dumaguete, you can contact Ma'am Pearl at 09173141678. #itsmorefuninthephilippines #visitph2015 #tpbgovph #Siquijor #Dumaguete #Philippines #travel #travelph #vsco #vscoph #vscocam #travelswithahobo

Reflections of heaven at the Ducligan Rice Terraces in Banaue, Ifugao. As the rice paddies are filled with water in preparation for planting, glass-like surfaces are created, mirroring the sky.

A friendly Karo Batak woman pointed out the way to Gundaling Hill before happily obliging to having her portrait taken. #Berastagi is in the heart of Tanah Karo (Karoland), south of Medan, the ancestral domain of the indigenous Karo Batak people who are mostly Christian, having been converted by European missionaries since the late 19th century. 😀 #WonderfulIndonesia #PesonaIndonesia #Berastagi #NorthSumatra #SumateraUtara #Sumatra #Indonedia #Karoland #tanahkaro #goasean #batakkaro #travel #backpacking #adventure #portrait #portraitphotography #travelphotography #lonelyplanet

Huacachina, a small town (or just a village) in southwest Peru, only has less than a hundred residents, most working in the tourism industry. .. Surrounded by hundreds of feet of sand dunes, Huacachina's number 1 tourist activity is sandboarding where you get to zip down the dunes like a skier or snowboarder, or body boarding where you are flat on your belly. I recommend the agency International Sand School, along the main road. .. Read more about sandboarding in Huacachina, link in bio.

Because I can't help myself and I bought that beautiful scarf on sale. (why is there no flamingo emoji? huhu). I can live in a resort forever (style wise), but well, I can't afford it… so nevermind, I'll just create one in our home. 😂 #ppfhome #AnakDunKaNalangSaKabilangRoom #AkoNalangDito 😂😂😂

If you want to enjoy sagada, don't go to Kiltepan. Wouldn't recommend it. The place is messed up. The crowd is frustrating. Go off the beaten path instead. Consider Marlboro hill. #choosephilippines #phonephotography #travel #pinas #ph #philippines #sagada #mtprovince
