How I land hotel, tourism & brand collaborations while travelling
After getting asked how I land travel collaborations so often, I put everything I use into one pack :)
✓ Hotel outreach templates
✓ DM scripts & follow-ups
✓ Real collaboration examples
Honestly, most photographers I know can already take great photos. The hard part is figuring out how to actually get opportunities.
You can take beautiful photos and still struggle to work with brands because:
You don’t know who to contact
You feel awkward pitching
You don’t know what to say
You never follow up
This pack gives you a professional system for outreach, so you stop guessing and start pitching confidently.
Maybe this sounds familiar...?
You want travel collaborations but don’t know what to say
You overthink every email or DM
You save opportunities but never pitch
You worry your following is too small
You don’t know what brands actually want
I know because I used to sit there doing exactly the same thing.
Not every business says yes - some ignore me completely and some say no. These are just a few examples from collaborations that worked out.

A few things that helped me get more replies:
One thing I noticed after sending a lot of outreach is that the emails that got the best responses never really felt like pitching - they felt like genuine conversations.
The goal isn't to convince someone to give you a free stay - it's to show them how you can help.
At the end of the day, most businesses aren't looking for another traveller - they're looking for content, photos, videos, and stories they can actually use. That small shift changes the whole conversation.
A good media kit makes a huge difference.
One of the biggest mistakes I see is making businesses work too hard to understand what you do.
They shouldn't have to go digging through your Instagram trying to figure it out.
A good media kit makes it easy to see:
who you are
what kind of content you create
who you've worked with
why you'd be a good fit
The easier you make it for someone to understand your value, the easier it is for them to say yes :)

Why I made this
People kept asking how I was landing collaborations while travelling... and to be honest, I didn’t start with a huge audience or brands reaching out to me. I pitched. My first emails were honestly terrible. I overthought everything, rewrote messages five times and still wondered if I sounded weird when I hit that ‘send’ button! Eventually I started noticing patterns.
This is the exact structure I now use to pitch hotels, cabins, cafes and tourism businesses while travelling.
Nothing fancy.
Just a system that's helped me start conversations, build relationships and land collaborations over the years.
This is for you if…
✓ You’re a photographer, creator or storyteller wanting collaborations
✓ You love travel but don’t know how partnerships actually happen
✓ You’ve wanted to pitch hotels/brands but feel awkward
✓ You want a professional system instead of guessing
You'll probably find this useful if...
✘ You expect brands to magically reach out first
✘ You’re unwilling to pitch consistently
✘ You want overnight free luxury travel
