When it comes to tracking down inspiring travel locations, Google is your friend, says this Sydney-based content creator - known to his million Instagram followers as @itizwil. “If you've found an image of a really nice scene and it doesn’t have a location tag, you can save and paste that image into Google Image Search,” shares Calabio. “It will come up with blogs or articles that might tell you the exact location of the photo, how to get there or when to shoot it - so it's very helpful.”

Find a fresh perspective

"Don't fall into the trap of capturing that one typical tourist photo - you don't want to get home and think, ‘Oh, I could have just looked that up on Google’. When you're at a landmark, say it’s the Eiffel Tower, think about how many different angles you can shoot it from. This helps you capture a unique memory.”
