From hobby to successful career
The couple booked a trip to Cappadocia in 2022, That year, they still had just over 90,000 followers and split between work online in London and trips, but after the Cappadocia trip the viral content grew fast, the couple quickly realized how gratifying the reaction of others to their
images was. “It was amazing and we were super happy. Every time we updated our Instagram page, we saw the account grow. Initially we didn’t even realize what was going on and we were even asking ourselves: ‘But where are the followers coming from? What is happening?’. Then we
started to realize that we were being identified by many fashion, couples and lifestyle pages and that’s how our travel career began.
When they returned from that trip, they already had more than 250.000 followers, Despite the success achieved, the couple had the real world waiting for them and a professional life, in addition to travel. In a short time, they were able to make a living from producing travel content.
