Pursuing your dreams is something we all wish to do, but being able to withstand the rough patches and struggles will really determine if you become successful in doing so or not. For travel couple Domi and Frida, despite their working together on their shared passion of travel and learning new cultures, they certainly had to withstand the shortcomings and become successful without burning out.
The couple both put together their passions about travel and world exploration to work together perfectly as a team. Creating content and coming up with new ideas for travel along the way. After meeting in high school, the couple has grown together in age and with their experiences traveling together. After graduating high school, Domi and Frida both got full-time jobs, never letting their passion for travel prevent them from doing so in the busiest moments.
Despite originally starting an Instagram page to simply keep their family and friends in the loop while they explored the world. They had no intentions initially of monetizing their experiences, but within only a few years, they had a large enough following to really be able to fully monetize it and support themselves without needing to work for anyone else.
Although they struggled initially to find ways to strike partnership deals with brands and hotels, eventually they found themselves being paid to stay in 5-star resorts, their intense passion for travel wouldn’t let them give in to failure no matter how long it took. Domi and Frida both admit that nothing is created overnight, and behind any successful person is countless hours of hard work and effort.
No success is created overnight, even though their lifestyle is one that most couples would dream of, in a time where anyone in a venture for the money would give in, they continued to work hard and their passion didn’t dwindle even once.
Starting from day one, Domi and Frida had the full support of their friends and family. Even though at first it seemed unconventional to attempt to make a living off of a travel social media page, their friends and family saw how apparent their passion was for traveling and backed them all the way. Domi and Frida both state that a large part of their inspiration for monetizing their content was from their competition. Rather than look at other people in the space as competition, they used these brands as a stepping stone, finding new content ideas, taking classes in photography, and creating and editing videos for social media platforms. Through it all, Domi and Frida have let their dream of traveling and exploring various cultures around the world keep their hopes high and their ambitions strong as they’ve successfully turned one of their life passions into a full career.
