Travelling has always been an important thing on many of our budget lists, however, specially with the pandemic going on, all of our plans have had to be put on hiatus. While this may seem quite depressing, in today's society we can have equally rich experiences from home with the use of the different types of social media.
There is an amazing solo traveler who plans budget friendly trips around the world. Gabriel Traveler shares his adventures through Instagram and Youtube in a very unedited and realistic manner.
A way he stands out from the rest of travel bloggers is that he films in a way that makes you feel as if you are travelling with him, and he also does a lot of research on the history of his destinations, which he tells as he walks around the different monuments and parts of the cities he is visiting.

Another way in which social media can be incredibly useful to find new destinations is through accounts like that of Emmet Sparling. He is a professional photographer that shares his travels around the world through amazing photographs. He is also part of Triplift, which is a creative media outlet with some of the most talented film makers and photographers on social media.

Even though twitter is not the first social media that comes to mind in regards to travelling, there are many useful users that give travelling advice and share their experiences around the world. An example of this would be Sara Rodriguez, she is a travel and lifestyle blogger that retweets news about travelling, as well as gives travelling tips and more.
Tumblr can also be a useful social media platform to find places to travel or to get informed about the subject all together. For example, the blog Global Consciousness through travel, aims to create a conversation regarding how traveling is done right now and important things one should consider or know when travelling.
