Who are we ?
Hey! It’s Chris and Alex! (Who else would it be?)
Met on a Set
That’s right, our love is straight out of a movie – movie set, that is! We were both working on a college film thesis when we first met, and we’ve been together ever since (March 27th, in case you were wondering). Post-college, we put our bachelors’ degrees in film to good use and each began our careers in New York City.
Industry Baby
Based out of our Jersey City apartment, we took on the television industry as two female workers in a male dominated field. In five years’ time, we both worked for some of the most high-profile clients in entertainment: HBO, People Magazine, TLC, Sports Illustrated, Food Network, Bravo, Yahoo! Finance, and Time Magazine, among others. Our careers gave us a sense of pride, but something always felt like it was missing.
Fast forward to 2020. After the entertainment industry shut down at the beginning of the pandemic, we found ourselves re-evaluating our careers before making the full-time plunge into content creation online. We use our skills and education from working in TV to showcase our escapades, lifestyle, and travel, all the while provoking thought and evoking humor along the way.
Instagram and Beyond
We began to use Instagram as a means of documenting our many misadventures and sharing our life as a same-sex couple. Today, we use our platform to be the representation we needed when we were younger, and we hope to encourage our following to experience different places, people, and cultures.
We like to refer to ourselves as “experience-based travelers” and strive to live like locals, delving into food, drink, adventure, culture, unique stays, unique local experiences, national parks, the great outdoors, camping, and much more!
More About Chris
Chris (she/her) was born under the light of an October last quarter moon, and in true Libra fashion, has been charmingly and diplomatically trying to rule the world ever since. Before reaching adulthood, she had traveled to 45 of the 50 states, making certain to sample all of the finest jellos and puddings in the National Park Service all the while.
She has a Bachelor’s Degree in film, and identifies as pansexual, often using and re-claiming the term “queer” to describe her ability to love any and all persons, regardless of background or sex or gender identities. From camera woman to editor to premium egg salad chef, the list of skills is endless.
More About Alex
Alex (she/her) is a self identified “butch princess”. Her most discernible skills include whipping up a mean three course vegetarian feast, carrying hiking gear for both parties like a sherpa, and randomly quoting the Lord of the Rings movie trilogy.
She is an award-winning director and writer, and while she’s never won an accolade for her lavender oat lattes, she’s gotten some fairly positive feedback. Her background in working television has not made her jaded or cantankerous, which that in itself is an accomplishment. She has an affinity for piña coladas but not getting caught in the rain.
