You know that feeling you get when you wake up, it’s raining outside and you just can’t be bothered to get out of bed?
Or when it’s just getting dark and you arrive jet-lagged in a new city and want to stay in?
Or when you are about the book the flights for your next Asia trip and that unexpected bill arrives and ruins everything?
Well…
I have some bad news for you.
You have a disease.
A disease called Domestication.
But do not fear, Domestication effects the best of us, and is a condition that is easily cured…
With your first heroic dose of the following travel-inspired Instagram profiles.
Then going forward, we highly recommend that you follow a minimum of 10 accounts and then continue your medication for the next 30 days.
Though you must ensure that you take your dose EVERY day for the full course of the prescription: 30 Days.
We are yet to have a patient who has not been completely cured after 30 days exposure to this high level of dosage.
Yes, I have spent the past 4.5 hours trawling through my Instagram account, tags and travel influencers in order to handpick the most inspirational travel and adventure themed accounts that will dispel even the faintest glimpse of the terrible (and some say deadly) disease of Domestication.
