Welcome to the July edition of our regular Instagram travel inspiration feature. Every month we ask you to tag your travel Instagram shots with #spaceinyourcase if you’re happy for us to share them with our readers. It also means we get to drool over even more of your holiday snaps and days out, and fuel our own wanderlust. We’ve absolutely loved the holiday envy inspired by our instagrammers this month, and here we’re sharing a few of our favourites.

Getting the perfect shot

Sometimes you really don’t need to have incredible photography skills to get an amazing picture – that’s the beauty of Instagram. You don’t even need to be on holiday. Often it’s just about spotting an interesting angle, a splash of colour, or an adorable moment with your child on a day out.

Sun shining on a pretty cardigan transforms a simple seaside shot from @mummytravels
A great vantage point always makes for a stunning view @littlewoodlife
Sometimes the sights speak for themsleves – @mumsgoneto showcases the Sibelius monument
@tamingtwins looks to the distance for an interesting sunset
A close-up portrait tells a holiday story for @onetinyleap
Then again the perfect shot came after the kids left the scene for @mini_travellers
Take a moment to notice colour, like @beckygoddardhill
Top tip from @bavariansojourn is to look up – you might find a pretty window box
@missielizzie shows us how it’s often all about the angle!

From the team this month we couldn’t resist sharing Katie’s first go on a paddle board – she looks like a total Amazon!

Happy travels everyone, and don’t forget to leave #spaceinyourcase for us! Please keep tagging, and we’ll keep sharing.

Every photo we share in our monthly roundups is credited and linked back to your Instagram accounts.

Thanks! I think I make paddle boarding look a lot easier than it actually was in that photo! 😉 x
