26. 9-5 job or full-time influencer? Full-time influencer. That’s a good one. You really need to learn how to schedule your days – quite frustrating!
27. How did you get into blogging? Actually, it was my family’s gift to me. I use to work as a flight attendant and when I got that job, my family surprised me with a blog! That is because I was a journalist before, so they told me in order not to forget about writing I should keep a blog about all my journeys when cruising those skies. But I never got a chance to write it then with the new exciting lifestyle I had going on. Finally when I quit the job, I took the time to start doing the things I loved most (they know me too well!) – combining both (travel and writing)… and look how it is turning out! Pretty exciting! 🙂

31. Most exciting moment since being an influencer? I am not even going to try hiding my enthusiasm: WHEN I SAW AN ELEPHANT. A horde of 20! Although, not sure if they knew I am an influencer 🙂 Truthfully, every day is exciting! First as you hit 20k, then when you hit 1000 likes per photo, your first collabs, when you get your first gifts, then first sponsored posts, when the brands you love contact you, when you get published in a magazine or Husskie.com! 🙂 etc. It is always exciting, every day brings something new!
32. Most terrifying moment since being an influencer? How to answer all the emails! Looking for an assistant SOON, hehe…
33. Best campaign you’ve ever worked on? I am always very selective about who I work with, trying to keep things sincere. So, I’d have to say each and every one was awesome to be part of
