A World To Discover

Jeremy Jauncey, the man behind Beautiful Destinations, has parlayed his passion for travel into a successful multiplatform business, as well as a force for good, which all started with an Instagram account

It's part-traveloue part-inspirational tool, part-aspirational bucket list guide, and all-around jaw-droppingly stunning portfolio of photographs. The photographs make you yearn, dream, and salivate. They make you want to pack your bags and catch the next flight to anywhere that promises excitement and discovery. They nourish the soul in an unexpected, almost meditative manner, reminding us that despite the sordid timeswe live in, there is still so much in the world that is wondrous, and beautiful, and pure. The man behind this Instagram account with 12.4 million followers and counting, not to mention a YouTube channel with 216,012 subscribers, and a thriving creative agency—all under the banner of Beautiful Destinations, is Jeremy Jauncey, a 34-year-old entrepreneur. Born in Scotland, he played pro-rugby in New Zealand and now travels the world, creating and growing a social media-driven travel community with a branding and content platform.

As for the future? Jauncey is still discovering new worlds. Beautiful Destinations has evolved from an Instagram account into a unique content-driven and social media-powered platform that encompasses nation branding

Beautiful Destinations, he explains, started “as an Instagram account focused on sharing inspiring travel content from around the world and connecting with talented creators with stories to tell.”

He adds, “I believe so passionately that travel is a force for good in the world—a universal language that connects people regardless of age, income, or background. Now, more than ever, we need things in life that can bring us together and in celebration of different cultures.”
