50 Questions with Salt in Our Hair’s Hannah and Nick

After travelling around the world for four months back in early 2016, in May that year Netherlands couple Hannah and Nick decided to pen a blog stemming from their passion for travelling, photography and sharing experiences. Setting a goal to show others that there’s more to life than being a desk jockey and with an aim of providing help based on their own experiences – the concept for the Salt in Our Hair blog and Instagram was born.

Graduates in graphic design and web development, the couple have moved fast in the 14 months since launch – gaining almost 80K Instagram followers and working with brands and companies such as GoPro, Teva, and CNN Travel. They’ve also gone on to expand their offering beyond the Instagram, blog, and YouTube channel, launching their own range of filter presets.

With a slight obsession with their feed and a fascination about their entrepreneurial pursuits, we got in contact with the couple – with Hannah putting her hand up to jump in the Husskie Fast 50 firing line. Here, she talks to us about everything from getting started in blogging to being hacked and losing everything.
