How did you form and grow your platform?

“We both love taking photos – on our first trip together we decided to make a travel blog of India, we documented our travels as we went along, taking photos and videos of the places we were visiting. We then started taking pictures of both of us in these beautiful destinations which seemed to be going really well. We unexpectedly started gaining more followers, the more we travelled and shared on Instagram. This inspired us to develop our photography and share the best images we possibly could, as this what our audience was engaging with. We started with a camera, a passion for photography and a plane ticket, and since then we have never looked back!”

Since the rapid growth of Charlie and Lauren’s platform as travel bloggers, their aim is now no longer only to document their travels but to inspire others. “Chase your passions and what makes you happy”, they encourage, making clear that the sky’s the limit for those brave enough to carve out enough time for seeing bucket list destinations and exploring the world. Certainly, in the case of Charlie and Lauren, that decision has led them down the path of creating some unforgettable travel memories.

What are some of your most memorable trips?

“Going on safari in Tanzania was like nothing we had ever done before, it was extraordinary… it really is the only place in the world to experience wildlife in the way that you can there…” mentions Charlie immediately, with great enthusiasm.

The UK based travel bloggersinsist that this is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that will mesmerise even the well-seasoned traveller. The vast, warm land offers natural, unspoilt beauty and is home to an abundance of magnificent animals. From lions, leopards, zebras and giraffes to gazelles, rhinos and buffalo. As if jumping headfirst into a David Attenborough documentary, this was an unforgettable highlight of their years of travel and an absolute must for travellers looking to experience different depths of the earth.

The couple continue to recollect and recommend their most memorable destinations; “the places to stay in Jamaica and Bali are amazing”, Lauren remarks. The selection of boutique hotels offered in Bali are an experience in themselves, they both passionately express, evidently still enthused by the impression that the tropical adventure has left on them.  “And when we visited Jamaica, we were invited to stay at one of Sandals Royal Caribbean Hotel– the resort was paradise”.

Certainly, this was one of their most relaxing hotel stays. As host, Sandals provided every amenity and experience they could have possibly wished for right on their doorstep. Being located on the beach, the hotel is surrounded by crystal clear Caribbean waters and white sands. “We were lucky enough to have use of the beautiful amenities, such as one of the more spacious rooms and suites, with spa inspired bathrooms and a choice of swimming pools”.

Sandals Royal Caribbean Hotel can also arrange for guests to explore some of the island’s greatest natural beauties in many different ways, such as watching the sun set over the island on a boat tour, zip lining through the jungle, or scuba diving in the ocean. The options really were endless. The attentive nature of the hotel, they say, and the amount that it had to offer guests is what made this particular trip so memorable.

“It was true luxury”, Charlie agrees.

Finally, some of the most unique and beautiful hotels that Charlie and Lauren have stayed in throughout their extensive travels were in Cappadocia, Turkey. Carved into the caves which make up the unusual landscape in Cappadocia are hotels featuring opulent suites, swimming pools and many other mysteries to discover within the caves such as restaurants and spas. As the sun rises, so too does a display of multicoloured hot air balloons, attracting travellers from far and wide for this spectacular occasion. Charlie and Lauren were clearly awed by the magical moment as the balloons rose gently across the sun-streaked horizon. Surrounded by sandy amber landscapes, the couple recommended with great enthusiasm taking a trip through the countryside on the back of a trusted donkey as the culture and deeply rustic nature of the city entwines itself around you.

Experiencing new adventures together is one of the many reasons which motivates and fuels Charlie and Lauren’s lives as travel bloggers. Finding beauty along slightly less-trodden paths and capturing this through their love of photography – forever chasing the perfect image and moment together to share with the world.
