#161 Live Your Dream: Become a Travel Blogger with Samantha & Ryan Looney from Our Travel Passport

Ryan and Samantha Looney are avid travelers and the brilliant couple behind "Our Travel Passport." Samantha also functions as the brand's creative director while Ryan is the director of marketing and cinematographer. Shortly after they got married, Ryan and Samantha began traveling the world and fell in love with it. From their earlier travels, they realized they want to make travel a priority and would like to share their trips and experiences with their friends and loved ones back home. Essentially, that's how "Our Travel Passport" came to be. After traveling to more than 20 countries together, Samantha and Ryan turned "Our Travel Passport" into a content creation firm that produces video and photo content in exotic destinations the world over. They also conduct online workshops for those who would like to create epic videos, take amazing travel photos, and scale their social media platforms. The couple also uses their blog, YouTube, Instagram, and other social media channels to motivate and inspire others to see the world, appreciate different cultures, and spend more time on travel adventures with family and friends.   This week's episode talks about the strategies Ryan and Samantha used to reach out to potential clients, how they were able to establish trust with their audience, and what they did to get people to connect and engage with them. Ryan and Samantha also shares the reason why they chose to focus on videography and photography, what their mission is, and what their recommendations are to those who would like to travel and still stay on top of their finances. For those who would like to travel, Samantha has this to say, "It's not scary going out into the world and it's actually you know, you create a better environment and earth and world for everyone when you are exploring and meeting new people and having new experiences."
