Sheer un-stylized beauty! You get either grandiose panoramas or intricate detail, here, with no in-betweens. The view of a city under the moonlight or the wings of a butterfly, a boat floating across the lake or a gorgeous pelican. This feed will add joy to your day.

You expect the feed of a regular outdoorsy guy and you are, almost shockingly, met with pure magic. Moonlit paths, sunlit peaks, the most beautiful foggy panoramas you have seen, and more. Ruggedly romantic!

@anxhi_celiku

Is this girl made of steel? Her last name “çeliku” means exactly that in Albanian, so there may be something to it. From rock climbing adventures to rugged bike rides and the discoveries of uncharted territories, this feed is pretty dang awesome.

@fationplaku

Perhaps the most beloved Instagram accounts of the Albanian outdoors! Everyone knows him and that is because Fation Plaku, arguably one of the best independent tour guides in the country, shares beautiful experiences, not only great photos.

@erald.halili

We call this the chocolate box of feeds and not only because @erald.halili unapologetically goes for the square format! No, it is because each square holds a different flavor, unexpected and always exciting. The colorful feed takes high and low and everywhere in between!
