In 2012, Jack Morris was withering away in a job as a carpet cleaner. Acting on an impulse, he quit his job and set out to travel the world, chronicling his adventures on Instagram along the way. A few months later, he began earning money through brand sponsorships on his smaller, more niche accounts (at the time, he ran several focusing on everything from animals to cars), which allowed him to continue to travel. Now, his primary account, Do You Travel, has gained approximately 2.5 million followers. What’s more, Forbes named Morris on their Creator 25 list in 2020.
