Students Will Travel the World with These TikTok Accounts
Globetrot via TikTok!
The winter holidays looked quite a bit different this year. With the pandemic halting most travel, the winter vacations and family trips we look forward to all year may not have happened. After being stuck at home for the majority of this past year, it can be easy to sink into the winter blues. However, for those of you globe trotters out there, here are some fun and creative ways for students to explore the world from the safety and comfort of home! Below are popular TikTok accounts with a focus on travel, whether it be international cuisine or different cultures. Browse through these accounts to find a fun way to explore the world!

International Cuisine TikToks

One of the best ways to experience a new culture or area is to indulge in the unique cuisine of the area. The following TikTok accounts all aim to teach viewers easy and delicious recipes from all over. A fun way to try the dishes of multiple countries is to make it a weekly tradition! Dedicate Fridays to preparing a meal of international origins and have fun with all the possibilities! Here are some wonderful TikTok accounts with a focus on international cuisine:
  1. @OMNIVOROUSADAM

  2. Professional chef, Adam Witt is a TikToker with an emphasis on international cuisine.

Hidden Travel Gems

Look no further for hidden gems and underrated must-see locations for your next trip to almost anywhere! I know that when I can’t travel, I usually like to busy myself by planning potential future vacations. If you’re like me, then try satisfying your inner explorer by finding hidden gems to potentially visit once travel has resumed. These TikToks are great sources for unique travel destinations:
  1. @KRISTINACORS
