A lot of times, Instagram accounts that follow travel are really light and bright, which is very fun and uplifting.

This account will give you all the travel inspiration you’re looking for, but Nele, who runs the account, does it in a very unique and not-cliched way.

Nele is an Instagrammer originally from Germany but has lived all over Europe, including the Netherlands where she studied but explores the world often. She is currently living in Sydney, Australia, but still manages to do quite a bit of traveling.

One of her biggest passions is Asian culture and fashion, of which she documents often on her account. She draws a lot of inspiration from Korean culture, and her pictures show her passions beautifully.

What makes @nelly.nugget so much different than other travel accounts is that she has a really cool mix of self-portraits, landscapes, and other interesting subjects for her pictures. The pictures also have quite a dark edge to them, without being physically dark. Nele often wears bright colors, which juxtaposes that dark filters and editing she does to her photos.
