“During one of my early adventures, I started taking photos and writing a blog – mainly so my friends and family could see how my long-distance trek was progressing,” explains Anna, when asked how she turned a hobby into her profession. “I kept this up for a few years, sharing my adventures online through images and words, and this gained traction. Soon I was speaking about my adventures at events, festivals, and for businesses and schools. Then I started to approach brands to work with them on my upcoming trips, and bit by bit I was able to generate enough income from photography, writing, adventure filmmaking, speaking and social media to make it a full-time job.”
