Christina Bly and Lauren ‘Button’ Aadland describe themselves as “two inexperienced knuckleheads traveling the world with no idea what they’re doing.” In reality, they’re actually awesome at documenting their adventures on their YouTube channel and blog. They show a fun, youthful way to travel and see the world without ever taking themselves too seriously.

Lorenza Tessari is a college student and avid traveler living with her girlfriend in northern Italy. Her Instagram is full of stunning photos of them around Europe and feels a bit like you’re witnessing someone’s personal love story. Lorenza is studying political science and human rights but clearly has a natural knack for photography. Her photos have been featured all over Instagram. Obviously, since she has more than 1,900 followers, I’m not her only fan.
