Do It for the ‘Gram
Avid social media users know the power of the right caption in a successful Instagram post. However, when you’re posting on the fly, it’s all too easy to find yourself at a loss for words. Therefore, we have compiled an extensive list of captions and quotes for Instagram that perfectly complement every travel scenario and occasion.
Meaningful travel quotes often make great Instagram captions. If you need inspiration, you can never go wrong with using a well-loved quote like Anthony Bourdain’s “Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown” or Susan Sontag’s “I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.”
Moreover, emojis can be another useful tool when crafting captions for Instagram. They can be used to save space (the camera emoji concisely assigns photo credit) or create a clever pun (rather than writing “I’m nuts about this destination,” employ a chestnut emoji).
