When it comes to social media, I’m more a Twitter and Facebook kind of guy. But more and more, I’m using Pinterest to share amazing travel photos and find travel inspiration (you can check out my boards here). Not surprisingly, Pinterest is fast becoming one of the most popular social networks. According to my research, Pinterest has about 70 million users and 30 billion+ pins. Thirty BILLION. Is that incredible or what? The more time I spend on Pinterest, the more I’m discovering amazing people and brands to follow. Here are 10 of my favorites that you should follow, too!
1 @NatalieDiScala
OK, I admit it. I’m biased here. Natalie is my wife but her Pinterest boards really are amazing. She pins everything from interior design and fashion to really beautiful travel photos. BEST BOARD: Travel Destinations
2 @EverywhereTrip
Gary Arndt’s Pinterest boards display his most spectacular travel photography from around the world. Featuring photos from every continent, his boards will definitely inspire you. BEST BOARD: Italy

Gogo has changed flying for everyone by providing WiFi up in the air. And we love them for it (thanks, Gogo!)

BEST BOARD: Travel Quotes
