Culinary Experiences

Just share a sample of the culinary experiences we share on our blog or YouTube channel.

We strive for a 1:1 private experience with a local food expert as a co-host in our videos. This is so our audience gets that private time with your brand and culinary experience. Thus we work with a variety of vendors for this exclusive experience: OTAs and tourism boards, boutique food tours, cooking classes, local guides, local food experts, YouTube foodies, local fans and some we source on our own.

Why work with us

Food is the only area where we offer some in-exchange collaboration.
The value of our videos for OTAs (Airbnb Experiences, GetyourGuide, Klook, etc… ) starts at $5,000-8,000 USD.

1. We produce high quality food tour videos with strong storytelling and we hire a video editor to make it look good.

2. We are not a food channel, but a solo trip planning channel. Thus, our audiences are travelers looking to book activities for a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

3. Our videos created to be evergreen and have the ability to be found in search engines

4. Our YouTube videos can  be embedded via Youtube html onto websites.

5. Christine is a professional TV producer and has worked on Food Channel content.

What you give is what you get

Private experience: You get a full feature with name mentions, your brand is mentioned through the video and a roundup at the end. Logo and/or name and links in Description box.  Fee: $200 It helps us pay our video editor.
Group tour/shared experience: You get a Shout mention in introduction or Integration in a city guide, with your logo and/or name and links in Description box. Fee: in-exchange for the tour. We use an OTA affiliate link if there is one available.

“Every destination is on my bucket list. But every solo vacation takes work! Showing my audience how I work at travel, makes them appreciate the reality of destinations I show them” – Christine

We travelers are smart consumers~ we seek honest reviews, word-of-mouth opinions and experiential insight into what our dollar will buy us ! Not only do we convert travelers, but larger YouTube personalities researching for their own travel series.

Nepal Tourism Campaign | Himalayan Travel Mart 2018 & 2017

We have worked with Nepal Tourism Board and PATA Nepal on two campaigns, with our first campaign landing us the Best Blogger of the Himalayan Travel Mart.  We are proud of our work with Nepal on the whole.  We created a series of destination videos and blogs, but our best work are our YouTube videos (view counts range from 18K to 600K ).  After the 2015 earthquake, Nepal has worked to recover tourism. As a female solo traveler, we covered destinations, which showed ruin but also the places that were perfectly in tact. We also went a step further to research ways to interact and share more local culture, as well as promote food tourism through food videos (something Nepal has been lacking coverage in).  Click for case study⬅️⬅️

Branded Campaigns we find the best strategy to promote our clients organically while also being attentive to algorithm, SEO and content positioning. It helps when we know your conversion goal. We never promise ROI on anything, because our travelers are not always in the buying phase in their trip or dreams. It can take time to simmer, but an idea can be propelled to interest when audiences follow us.

In the case of travel, some destination content performs better when pre-warmed with similar destination content, so audiences have a headsup there’s a change in destination. Meanwhile, other content strategies inject into our channel with ease when it’s around our process.

Either way, your deliverable may request one video and we may charge you for one.  But there have been cases where we include an extra video or so to help the campaign and audiences meet that effective goal for better conversion.

Mazda Campaign (to the Arctic Ocean)
#CXArcticDrive

We created daily social stories pre and during our trip and concluded with one video shared on all our social platforms.
This gained a total of 102,000+ views/impressions.

YouTube feature video: U.S., Canada,  UK, 18-34 range and secondly 35-54 range. Some viewers are car owners in Canada.
First year of publication: 212,330 impressions, 80 comments, 10,000 views .

Facebook videos series:
• 50,000 + 6,200+ 9,800 + 6,800 = 73,000 impressions
• 2,254+ 541 + 943 + 566= 4,304 engagements

Instagram: No analytics as this was acquired to client through a third party service.

We were invited to participate in a five day once-in-a-lifetime drive expedition to the Arctic Ocean, driving Mazda’s CX-3, CX-5 & CX-9 vehicles.

Concept: Inspired by the Mazda tagline “Feel Alive”, we took that into our solo travel brand and featured Mazda vehicles throughout the documentary. The original deliverable requested was one video, but being a travel brand, we saw a opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime travel documentary series. We optimized our video series with competitive but highly ranked key searches for future growth and evergreen discoverability around the Arctic Ocean and the popular destinations on it.

 

SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD
#SpeedUptheFlow

 

SanDisk released the ultra compact SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD. As a solo video creator, I know the pros and cons of external storage, owning a lineage of storage hard drives. Concept:  We filmed in two countries of extreme range, aligning the SSD with ideas of rugged endurance, speed, compact/lightweight solutions and navigating the ever-changing demands of solo filming on the road.

Deliverables: The campaign engaged all platforms : blog, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. We did fun Instagram Story test drives trekking in Nepal and delivered a blog review , sharing it with our newsletter audiences. We also threw in product integrations showing SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD usage.

In the first year:

  • Social media garnered 32,000+ impressions,. 7,300+ total engagement
  • YouTube video: 10,000 views, 144,000 impressions, 80 comments. Channel Pages 54%, YouTube search 14%, Browse features 13%, YouTube playlists 9%

Jilin is a destination often overshadowed by other winter destinations in China, so it wasn’t on the tourist roadmap.
But one of the hotels we shared on Instagram converted curiosity into booking interests. Although the hotel was not easily searchable and bookable online, our Asia travelers still reported back with photos from hotel sauna.  See our media kit.

Unique Boutique & Luxury Hotels

For us, a hotel is not just a lovely crashpad.. it’s a unique sightseeing destination on its own, sometimes its own amusement park!  Cave hotels, luxury safari bungalows to eco-friendly or boutique design themes, we seek something a little different to stand out. See our Hotels section.

Culinary Experiences

We have a travel foodie audience, looking for recommendations and food tours which offer rich insight and excellent food choices. We partner with tourism boards, food tours, cooking classes and local food experts (even food YouTubers) in every destination to curate and showcase the best foodie/cultural experiences.  Here are just a few of the local food experts we have featured:

Christine is knowlegable about high-end beach fashion. She manages the social media for a retail beachwear shop in Waikiki.

Just share a sample of the culinary experiences we share on our blog or YouTube channel.

We strive for a 1:1 private experience with a local food expert as a co-host in our videos. This is so our audience gets that private time with your brand and culinary experience. Thus we work with a variety of vendors for this exclusive experience: OTAs and tourism boards, boutique food tours, cooking classes, local guides, local food experts, YouTube foodies, local fans and some we source on our own.

Why work with us

Destination Campaigns

“Every destination is on my bucket list. But every solo vacation takes work! Showing my audience how I work at travel, makes them appreciate the reality of destinations I show them” – Christine

We travelers are smart consumers~ we seek honest reviews, word-of-mouth opinions and experiential insight into what our dollar will buy us ! Not only do we convert travelers, but larger YouTube personalities researching for their own travel series.

Nepal Tourism Campaign | Himalayan Travel Mart 2018 & 2017

We have worked with Nepal Tourism Board and PATA Nepal on two campaigns, with our first campaign landing us the Best Blogger of the Himalayan Travel Mart.  We are proud of our work with Nepal on the whole.  We created a series of destination videos and blogs, but our best work are our YouTube videos (view counts range from 18K to 600K ).  After the 2015 earthquake, Nepal has worked to recover tourism. As a female solo traveler, we covered destinations, which showed ruin but also the places that were perfectly in tact. We also went a step further to research ways to interact and share more local culture, as well as promote food tourism through food videos (something Nepal has been lacking coverage in).  Click for case study⬅️⬅️

Branded Campaigns

Branded Campaigns we find the best strategy to promote our clients organically while also being attentive to algorithm, SEO and content positioning. It helps when we know your conversion goal. We never promise ROI on anything, because our travelers are not always in the buying phase in their trip or dreams. It can take time to simmer, but an idea can be propelled to interest when audiences follow us.

In the case of travel, some destination content performs better when pre-warmed with similar destination content, so audiences have a headsup there’s a change in destination. Meanwhile, other content strategies inject into our channel with ease when it’s around our process.

Either way, your deliverable may request one video and we may charge you for one.  But there have been cases where we include an extra video or so to help the campaign and audiences meet that effective goal for better conversion.

Mazda Campaign (to the Arctic Ocean)
#CXArcticDrive

We created daily social stories pre and during our trip and concluded with one video shared on all our social platforms.
This gained a total of 102,000+ views/impressions.

YouTube feature video: U.S., Canada,  UK, 18-34 range and secondly 35-54 range. Some viewers are car owners in Canada.
First year of publication: 212,330 impressions, 80 comments, 10,000 views .
Reach: Facebook 21%, amazonfiretv.blog 17%, YouTube 15%, Google search 14%, WSJ 5%
Reach v2 Dempster: Google Search 42%, Facebook 26%, YouTube 2%
Reach v3 Tuktoyaktuk: Facebook 41%, Google search 21%, ilbe.com 12%, Instagram 4%

Facebook videos series:
• 50,000 + 6,200+ 9,800 + 6,800 = 73,000 impressions
• 2,254+ 541 + 943 + 566= 4,304 engagements

Instagram: No analytics as this was acquired to client through a third party service.

We were invited to participate in a five day once-in-a-lifetime drive expedition to the Arctic Ocean, driving Mazda’s CX-3, CX-5 & CX-9 vehicles.

Concept: Inspired by the Mazda tagline “Feel Alive”, we took that into our solo travel brand and featured Mazda vehicles throughout the documentary. The original deliverable requested was one video, but being a travel brand, we saw a opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime travel documentary series. We optimized our video series with competitive but highly ranked key searches for future growth and evergreen discoverability around the Arctic Ocean and the popular destinations on it.

 

SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD
#SpeedUptheFlow

 

SanDisk released the ultra compact SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD. As a solo video creator, I know the pros and cons of external storage, owning a lineage of storage hard drives. Concept:  We filmed in two countries of extreme range, aligning the SSD with ideas of rugged endurance, speed, compact/lightweight solutions and navigating the ever-changing demands of solo filming on the road.

Deliverables: The campaign engaged all platforms : blog, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook. We did fun Instagram Story test drives trekking in Nepal and delivered a blog review , sharing it with our newsletter audiences. We also threw in product integrations showing SanDisk Extreme Portable SSD usage.

In the first year:

  • Social media garnered 32,000+ impressions,. 7,300+ total engagement
  • YouTube video: 10,000 views, 144,000 impressions, 80 comments. Channel Pages 54%, YouTube search 14%, Browse features 13%, YouTube playlists 9%

Jilin is a destination often overshadowed by other winter destinations in China, so it wasn’t on the tourist roadmap.
But one of the hotels we shared on Instagram converted curiosity into booking interests. Although the hotel was not easily searchable and bookable online, our Asia travelers still reported back with photos from hotel sauna.  See our media kit.

Unique Boutique & Luxury Hotels

For us, a hotel is not just a lovely crashpad.. it’s a unique sightseeing destination on its own, sometimes its own amusement park!  Cave hotels, luxury safari bungalows to eco-friendly or boutique design themes, we seek something a little different to stand out. See our Hotels section.

Culinary Experiences

We have a travel foodie audience, looking for recommendations and food tours which offer rich insight and excellent food choices. We partner with tourism boards, food tours, cooking classes and local food experts (even food YouTubers) in every destination to curate and showcase the best foodie/cultural experiences.  Here are just a few of the local food experts we have featured:
