The 50 Best Travel Photos We Published Last Month (2023)

At Travel Lemming, we’re building the world’s most authentic online travel guide, written from the perspective of our team of dozens of locals and experts. As part of our mission, we try to share our best travel photos to inspire you to travel, and to inform you of what to honestly expect.

Just last month alone, our creators published over 600 original travel photos on Travel Lemming!

To celebrate our creators’ talent, and to showcase Travel Lemming’s original content, I’ve decide to share my 50 personal favorite travel photos from last month.

I’ll first share my top 10 favorite travel photos, then 40 more honorable mentions. Note that apart from that, there is no particular order here (it was hard enough to pick my favorites, let alone rank them!). Photos are sorted alphabetically by first name of the creator.

I’ve also added links to the article the photo appeared in, and to our creators’ bios, so you can dive deeper into exploring our library of more than 1,200 original and free travel guides!
