Los Angeles Travel Influencers to Follow in 2026 (13 Creators)

This list names 13 travel influencers based in Los Angeles, with what each one posts and a link to their Instagram. I'm on it too, so you can compare directly.

The list covers solo travel, couples, luxury hotels, road trips and the city itself, so it works whether you want someone to follow or a creator to work with. Follower counts change every week, so I have left them out; each profile shows the current number.

How this list was put together

I checked the public Los Angeles travel lists at inBeat, IQFluence and Heepsy on October 30, 2026, and kept the creators those lists place in Los Angeles. The descriptions are what those lists say each account posts, in my words. If you are a Los Angeles travel creator who belongs here, please send me a note.

Working with a Los Angeles travel influencer

Tourism boards, hotels, airlines and brands hire travel creators for Instagram reels and posts, blog guides and photography they can use themselves. If you are looking at a campaign in Los Angeles or on the West Coast, my Partnerships page lists my past work by type of partner and has a form to ask about a campaign.

Keep on roaming,
