Brands and tourist offices are ready to pay for an Instagram post.
The couple now accumulates more than four million fans by sharing amazing pictures in incredible places.
They are also two successful bloggers. Jack Morris, who now writes on his blog “Do You Travel”, left school at 17 years old and worked as a carpet cleaner before making his 21-year-old bag and buying a one-way ticket for Bangkok where his adventure began.
He saw in Instagram a way to earn money when his savings began to melt, and began to rest "niche" photos on different accounts, he explained to Cosmopolitan.
The accounts grew fast, but being constantly discounted on his smartphone screen bored Jack and he decided to sell all the accounts except one that, at this point, already had hundreds of thousands of fans. He used the money from the sale to continue traveling and started posting his own photos on his account. As its fan base increased, brands and tourist offices contacted it to offer sponsored content.
One of these jobs led him to the Fiji Islands, where he met Lauren Bullen, who was doing the same thing. They got the lightning instantly. Bullen, native to the north of New South Wales, Australia, has a deep passion for travel and photography, which she retransmits in her blog Gypsea Lust.
Jack Morris wrote on his blog: “Everything went well for us from the first day and we were inseparable throughout the journey. During our last night in Fiji, I asked her to come to Bali with me, she said yes and we've been together since! »
Their work led them to idyllic places where they stay in luxury hotels, such as this stone villa in Phuket, Thailand.
The couple recently travelled to Kenya to celebrate Lauren's 24th anniversary where they had breakfast with giraffes.
They also saw great Mediterranean destinations such as Santorini.
In the picture below, they are in the Philippines, but when they do not travel, they live together in Bali.
But then, how do they take such amazing pictures? Not with applications or filters, "I retouch them with Lightroom on my MacBook Pro" , said Jack.
With regard to his advice for bloggers who are starting, he says: "Do not plan too much. If you're going to do backpacking, book a simple go and a room for your first night. Be sociable and meet new people. »
