My Story 

  Why I created this course

I didn’t start this journey with a big following or a pack full of fancy gear.
Just an iPhone in one hand, a $20 tripod in the other and the urge to turn weekend side hustle into something more than a hobby.

Like most, I got into content creation for the fun of it. Once I realized I was pretty decent, I started trading content here and there - a little of this, a little of that. I played around with UGC for a few starter brands and thought getting a free water bottle for a post was the coolest thing ever (oh, how I've grown since then!).

For eight months, I created, learned, and experimented - all while balancing a full-time 9-5. Then I decided to aim higher. I wanted to test the waters to see if I could trade content for travel.

So I started pitching to hosts, asking if I could stay in exchange for content. I got turned down a lot. I got ghosted a lot. I even paid a cleaning fee once. But I kept going, building a small portfolio along the way.

Then, with less than 800 Instagram followers, I decided to go for it:

I timidly pitched my first paid project for .... (drum roll)... $400. They didn’t bat an eye.

So the next pitch? Let's try $700. They told me that was an amazing deal, and I was shocked.

So then I jumped to four digits… and I’ve never looked back. 

The pull of this new adventure was stronger than the comfort of a steady paycheck. So I packed up my cubicle life and jumped off the corporate ladder I was taught to climb.

Two weeks after quitting, my calendar was fully booked for the next few months - matching the same monthly income I’d just walked away from - with more freedom, fewer hours, and a whole lot more mountains to sea views.

Back then, I didn’t have a guide. No map. No compass. I figured it out the long way, one pitch and one stay at a time.

This course is the guide I wish I had - a trail map to help you skip months of uncertainty and get straight to the part where you wake up somewhere beautiful, camera in hand, knowing you’re building something real.

Because you don’t need 100k followers or top-tier equipment.

With your iPhone, a little strategy, and the courage to take the first step - you can do this too!
