Favourite Photos on Instagram (Edition i)
It is fair to say that we are very engaged with our social media channels. We love sharing some of our favourite photos on Facebook and Twitter. We love chatting to our followers and it is always the best place to ask us questions (hint hint).
And while Instagram has been fun, we haven’t really been too focused on it until recently. Now I will admit that we do share some of our DSLR photos on there, but I don’t think that is a crime! I LOVE it because it is a photo sharing platform. An outlet for our travel adventures and creativity to be showcased.
We are also aware that not all of you follow us on social media (why not? Use those links above 
) and even less of you follow us on Instagram.
So to make sure that none of you are missing out on our favourite photos on Instagram we decided to steal acquire an idea from our fantastic photography friends, Laurence and Vera over at FindingTheUniverse.com. Every month or so we are going to do a round up of our most popular photos as “liked” on Instagram. Hopefully this series will allow us to share a whole range of photos from our travels around the world.

Would love to hear if you enjoyed the photos. And more importantly, if you want daily photo-goodness rather than a monthly favourite photos on Instagram post, then make sure you follow us now on Instagram!

We have been wearing out our jandals (Kiwi slang for flip-flops) on our travel adventures around the world since 2009. We love all types of adventures that make us step outside our comfort zone, in comfort, including surfing, skiing, snowboarding, diving and cruising on our bikes. You can find out more 
Ah la France J’adore!

Cheers Emma
So I’m guessing you spent some time in France?

Spent a month in the French Alps at a resort called La Rosiere! Beautiful location
Nice shots and (conveniently) all in one place. Thoughtful AND inspiring.

Thanks Karen. We hope to make it a monthly (or so) series
Beautiful photos. We haven’t embraced Instagram yet, but based on your photos….maybe we should!

You guys should definitely be uploading your wildlife shots. But it is another social media channel to keep up to date… So many of them now haha.
I love Instagram for its “squareness”
Every time I take a photo I feel like I have my old Polaroid camera in hands 
Great photos!

When we get home (someday) I plan to print out a bunch of our Instagram shots on small square canvases. I reckon it would like awesome!
That wee little church is so cute!

Not a religious man myself but would have loved to go to a service there. Would be very cool!
Beautiful pics. They’re all so different. I’d never have guessed they were Instagram snaps!
I have a crappy phone but as soon as I upgrade I’m going to jump on Instagram.

We only just got into Instagram in the last few months. Our phone is about 2/3 years old now too so would love a new one with a better camera! Just can’t justify the costs… Oh well.
I love the photo so much that I followed you guys at instagram! I can’t wait for your next travel picture to share it there.
Thanks for following us there Kristy
I love the picture with the crayfish
Izy Berry – The Wrong Way Home recently posted..Volunteering in Cambodia
They were very tasty
I told myself I’d stop relying on my phone for photos, but I can’t help loving instagram and pudding camera! And nothing like mentioning I’m not following to get me on that task!!
Cat of Sunshine and Siestas recently posted..Seville Snapshots: The Statues of Ayamonte
Hmmm pudding camera? Didn’t know about it so had to do a quick google
Thanks for the heads up, now I am even more distracted haha.
Oh wow those crayfish!! Fresh seafood in New Zealand is just the best. Great idea

Kiwi food is probably the one thing I miss the most after my family!
The Christmas one is my favorite of the bunch. Such a beautiful snowy scene! I really need to learn how to ski.

Told ya before that France is the place to do it
I’m with Jennifer – love the Christmas photo. It’s been a few months since we’ve been anywhere cold enough to snowboard, and I’m missing it a bit.

Cheers Turtle. There are plenty of good ideas out there for us to “borrow”.
