The Buzzoole Insights are back with a list of the best Travel Creators on Instagram. The Buzzoole rankings is a list of the top creators in a specific vertical built using our cutting edge technology and curated by our content team. Last month, the spotlight was on the <\/span>foodies<\/span><\/a>, while this time, we\u2019re focusing on the adventurers of Instagram, the so called travellers. Our <\/span>#AD analysis<\/span><\/a> found travel to be one of the verticals responsible for 5% of sponsored posts in 2018, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s lacking in quality. As travelling is one of the most exciting and inspiring activities humans can do, the content created by the best travel Creators is usually mesmerising. It surely is an exciting sector to be a part of and we found many stunning accounts. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Methodology<\/b><\/p>\n

In order to get a well rounded view, we sourced a wide range of travel creators and ranked these according to engagement per post <\/span>(likes plus comments on the published posts during the time period considered) and the average follower growth. As with our food rankings, we created two categories: The \u2018Rising Stars\u2019 who have 30,000-100,000 followers and the \u2018Stars\u2019 who have 100,000+ followers. The KPIs derived from April statistics therefore our rankings reflect April account activity. <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cStars\u201d Ranking<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to reveal our top Travel creators, we\u2019ll begin with Stars. <\/span><\/p>\n

Our fifth ranking travel creator is <\/span>Bookonin<\/b> and her profile presents a stunning aesthetic. Naomi\u2019s pastel themed images make them look as if they\u2019ve been taken in paradise. Her feed gives us major travel envy!<\/span> Jess.wandering <\/b>is next with an average of 34,527 engagements per post. Her pictures are both stunning and scary, with her swimming with jellyfish and picnicking on cliff edges. In third place is <\/span>Jacob <\/b>who has an inspiring colourful feed filled with beautiful photography. He has an astounding average of 37,167 engagements per post which is reflective of his talented ability of capturing the moment. <\/span>Chrisburkard<\/b> came in second place and is gaining on average 20,910 new followers a month. His daredevil photos include him jumping from cliffs, surfing through waves and scuba diving into what looks to be an underwater cave. He\u2019s definitely brave and it\u2019s great to see his channel growing. <\/span>TheBucketListFamily<\/b> are top of our star rankings with a staggering average of 130,902 engagements per post. It\u2019s definitely well deserved. Garret, Jessica and their three children Dorothy, Manilla and Calihan have captivating photos and videos of their travels and show how travelling can bring a family together in the most adorable way. <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cRising Stars\u201d Ranking<\/b><\/p>\n

In fifth place we have <\/span>YouCouldTravel, <\/b>with an engagement per post of 4019 in April. On average, this adorable travel couple are earning 9390 followers in one month, which is the highest in our rising star rankings! We see them becoming even bigger in the near future. Next is <\/span>TheAdventureBitch. <\/b>Cassie posts amazing tropical photos and gets an average of 4880 engagements per post. In third place we have <\/span>Jack_Anstey <\/b>who\u2019s amazing photography skills have earned him over 75,000 followers and 5596 engagements per post. His stunning, cool-toned mountain shots are beautifully done and perfect for lovers of landscapes. In second place we have <\/span>TheDiaryOfANomad <\/b>who has one of the most colourful travel feeds in our rankings. She showcases elegant art and architecture from around the world and has a well-deserved average of 7000 engagements per post and 2970 new followers a month. Our top travel creator in the rising star ranking is <\/span>Pina_Patootie<\/b>! Though she doesn\u2019t have the highest amount of followers, she has had an amazing average engagement per post in the last month of 16,032. Daniah\u2019s feed is different to many other travel bloggers in our rankings as she utilizes white borders on her photos which gives a cute postcard aesthetic. <\/span><\/p>\n

Trends <\/b><\/p>\n

There\u2019s some clear differences between what works for our top travel bloggers compared to what works for other verticals. The typical Instagram aesthetic e.g. an all pastel feed, is something that our top travellers seem to ignore. Rather than posting photos that look the same colour and style, they\u2019ll post pictures and videos that show off the vibrancy and true colours of each place they visit. Adding colour filters may dilute the beauty of these photos, therefore focusing less on making their feed look uniform and more on broadcasting the real charm of their surroundings gives a more true travel feed. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Something else we\u2019ve taken away from these rankings is unless you have a unique story such as The Bucket List Family who are travelling with children, having more photos of your beautiful surroundings and scenery rather than selfies is a great way to gain a following. People love to see pretty pictures of the world, therefore focusing on the beauty of the places you travel is a great way to interest people in your feed. <\/span><\/p>\n
