Stuck in a funk because you haven’t travelled in a while? Don’t worry, we all have those days. Fortunately, there are a lot of things we can do to feed our travel-hungry souls. One of my personal favourite ways to lighten up my mood is going through some Instagram accounts that give me a glimpse of the world from the comforts of my bed. Oh, and I’m not talking about just any Instagram account. I’m talking about the real #TravelGoals. Check out these adorable Instagram dogs, and you’ll know what I’m talking about.

1. @loki
A mix of Husky, Arctic Wolf, and Alaskan Malamute, Loki is a handsome wolfdog who has stunning photographs of his travels around the world. His human, Kelly Lund, took him home during a blizzard and the duo were never the same since. Today, Loki is a famous doggo with more than a million followers on Instagram. In fact, he now sells his own products available on his website. What a good boy!
2. @theadventureshiba
Four-year-old Kuma is one adventurous Shiba Inu. She endures long-haul road trips by sniffing fresh air from out the window. This little fluff loves herself some fields of flowers and the sand in between her paws.
3. @sirdextergsd
When Dexter was rescued from Ohio, he was abused and malnourished. But now, he’s as healthy as can be! This German Shepherd-Australian Cattle Dog mix goes crazy for camping and swimming in freshwater. He’s also an avid traveller who has been to almost every state in the USA. Woofer would travel forever just as long as he doesn’t get too homesick without mom or dad around.
4. @atlasthesam
Another adventurous bork, Atlas the Samoyed’s favourite outdoor activity is hiking. He absolutely loves the snow — he loves hiding in it, too! If you’re hungry for some mountain adventures, definitely check out his Instagram feed.
5. @hi.wiley
Wiley is an adorable Dalmatian who wears his heart on his nose — literally! If you’re looking for a little sunshine on your feed, go follow him. Aside from his nose heart, Wiley is also winning the Internet for his adventures around sunflowers and fields. Take a look!
6. @henrythecoloradodog
A mix of Shepherd, Boxer, Husky, Australian Shepherd, and Staffordshire Terrier, Henry was born one-of-a-kind. He belongs to an adventurous family and just knows how to travel. Along with his family and his best friend Baloo the cat, Henry backpacks all over the world for fun. Today, he’s exploring Colorado.
7. @mochiandthecity
Not all travellers are adrenaline junkies at heart, and Mochi proves that that’s okay. A three-year-old Maltipoo (Maltese and Toy Poodle), Mochi lives in the fabulous New York City. She explores the urban jungle and supports charity organizations while at it. Need some inspiration on how to pose for your next Instagram pic? Mochi is definitely the girl you need!
8. @lucyadventuregunn
Katharine and Humz Gunns are design professionals who quit their jobs to travel around the USA. Of course, they couldn’t leave their fur baby behind. Now, Lucy gets to enjoy vanlife with her humans. Not every Golden Retriever is lucky enough to experience that!
9. @travelwithleia
If you think you’re the coolest backpacker, then Leia might make you think again. This adorable French Bulldog hails from Norway but has made it all the way to France, Africa, Slovenia, and everywhere else. And, she’s backpacked her way to these places, literally in a backpack! How cooler can anyone get?
10. @django_and_chloe
Talk about double the trouble! Django, a Dachshund, and Chloe, a Parson Russell Terrier, are both from Rio de Janeiro. So far, the globetrotting pooches have travelled to Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Sweden and the USA. Their humans, Bruna and Luiz, say that they’ve connected with so many dog lovers since their floofs had an Instagram account. Have questions about travelling with your dogs? Hit them up!
