This 16-Year-Old’s Instagram Will Make You Want To Drop Everything And Travel The World

Jannik Obenhoff is a 16-year-old aspiring landscape photographer. He lives in Germany, a country blessed with lush forests, foggy mountain tops and clear blue lakes. Jannik has been loving the great outdoors all his life and started capturing the majestic views since the age of 13, when he first took up photography as a hobby.

When not studying, Jannik likes to wander around Germany taking stunning photos of it’s nature and sharing them with more than 200k of his Instagram followers.

“If you won’t go out and explore, you won’t see how beautiful nature can be,” Jannik cleverly said on Instagram’s blog and we truly believe each word. Whilst not exploring, be sure to follow his Instagram for daily wanderlust-inspiring views.

This 16-Year-Old's Instagram Will Make You Want To Drop Everything And Travel The World

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

Beautiful photos, but I can't help but think that this kid must lead a pretty privileged life to be able to travel, and visit exotic destinations like this at the tender age of 16. The camera alone and the thousand dollar lens he's using isn't coming out of his pocket. I appreciate the photos/art, but it's hard to tell folks to put down everything and travel when you're still a teenager.

All this places an in the same region of Germany, so going there by car only takes a few hours. Our country isn't that big. Within around 8 hours cardrive to the north Germany looks totally different... eckernfoer...6359a5.jpg

Wow, seriously? That's a big leap to take knowing nothing of the kid. Exotic places? Where do you live? When you travel an hour or 2 from home, do you consider it going to exotic places? A few hours on a Saturday here, a Sunday there. Heck, there were only 18 pictures and it was obvious that some were taken at the same time. Your statement seems to indicate he is some big world traveler. I also don't see where anyone said to put down everything and travel. The kid made a statement about "exploring". You can "explore" your own city/town - it has nothing to do with traveling. :(

I had the same sentiments. I am not denying the skill. Or do I think an expensive camera is necessary (if you know your camera you can take a good shot). But even an hour drive could feel like a vacation to those with responsibilities. The photographer is not my problem so much as the article it self.

What a great places. The reason for wanting to travel is an inner motive and it is related to the question of why, whereas more specific motivations determine the answers regarding where and type of holiday. Travel needs and motivations also underpin the first expectations and may influence the final outcome of a holiday: it turned out better or worse than expected compared to the level of satisfaction of the generated needs. Obviously once a travel need has been satisfied it ceases to exist.
