An adventure just waiting for you.
21 Hidden Destinations Around The World To Visit At Least Once In Your Life
@jacob

It's about that time of year when a lot of people start getting that itch to "escape". Unfortunately, we're not all actually financially stable enough to just take off when we feel like it, but we can still at least dream, because that's free! That said, professional photographer @jacob on Instagram has quite a dreamy collection of photos taken over the last several years of his adventures around the world, everywhere from major cities to hidden locations. On blizzardy December day such as today, why not absorb the eye candy below below and start planning your great escape to one of these amazing destinations, or heck all 21! Enjoy!
