12 of the Craziest Travel Selfies on Instagram

I travel to 20+ countries a year sharing my firsthand knowledge of reward travel, travel credit card deals, travel tips and more.

I started taking selfies long before selfies were even a thing. But the craziest travel selfie I’ve ever taken was probably when I swam with sharks in Bora Bora and that wasn’t even that dangerous – especially when you compare it to these daredevils below. Here are 12 of the craziest travel selfies I’ve seen on Instagram:
