We are Roel and Eline, also known as Trendy Travel Duo on social media. We are a photo- and videographer couple from The Netherlands who make content showcasing the best of what the world has to offer, from breathtaking landscapes to incredible experiences.
Online, we love showing the world through our eyes as well as show our day to day lives working remotely around the globe and inspire others to make the most of their 20s and 30s. It doesn't matter if you are an entrepreneur or have a 9-5. While working remote you can have the best of both worlds: travel, really experience a place and culture while at the same time keep making an income.
On our blog we share all our tips and insiders info about different destinations and remote work. We are both huge foodies and also love sharing all our favourite restaurants and cafes.
We believe that travel is not just a means of escape, but can be a way of life, to enrich and broaden our perspectives. We'll promise to show you around and take you on an incredible adventure!
With Eline having years experience as a marketeer and Roel in sales, we are the perfect fit in our relationship as well as business partners ;) While Eline takes care of the creative side with editing and designing, Roel loves the business side with outreaching as well as keeping our inbox to 0. Ofcourse, shooting the content is a thing we both love to do!
Let’s see… I cannot go a day without chocolate or hugs, I hate making choices, I love being creative and I am happiest when I am at a tropical destination preferably on a boat or at the beach. Also, I’m obsessed with reading and currently finish about a book per week.
Something almost nobody knows about me is that I’m easily scared or nervous about lots of things, while it may not look like it from the outside. This is where Roel is my laid back opposite 😋 Although many things might scare me, I taught myself to be brave and do all the things I’m scared or nervous about nonetheless. Life starts outside of your comfort zone and many things aren’t as bad as you think they will be. This amazing life I have today wouldn’t be possible if I didn’t do all those scary things.
I am also the one planning all our trips as I love to make lists of everything (Yes, I’m a Virgo). Maybe that's also why I'm a horrible perfectionist and can never stick to just one hobby... I love figure skating, acroyoga, kizomba, photography and videography. That probably sums it up quite nicely!
That tall guy? That’s me! I cannot be missed 😉 I am someone who actually likes going to the gym. It clears my head and makes me feel great afterwards. I used to play rugby and loved it, but had to stop because of the many injuries I got from it. Also, I’m obsessed with cheesecake and will eat it in every country possible.
One of the most fun things I like doing is connecting with people from all over the world. Growing up in different countries and speaking several languages undoubtedly helped a little with that. Every person I’ve met has a unique story and personal ambitions to fulfill in their life. I love to learn more about these things, and I’m not afraid to get into these topics early on!
Another specific thing about me is that when I hear a helicopter sound, I get so excited, I become a 5-year old boy. 😂 In the future, I want to become a helicopter pilot because I’m mesmerized by those machines and the feeling of flying. Oh and I absolutely love trying out every food imaginable. Egg coffee, chicken feet or insects, I’m not scared to try it all. So yeah,that’s me!
