Carla printed the book of her Instagram and her blog!

• Introduce yourself in a few words 

In 2014, Carla (the mother) and Mona (the daughter) cross the Atlantic Ocean to put down their 4 luggages and their 2 pair of flip-flops in Guadeloupe… The dad arrives later! That’s the beginning of the story… Wishes for change, discovery and later a transfer brings us to Guadeloupe. Not far away from 40 years old and just 10 for my daughter, it was the right time to throw ourselves into this new adventure, open up to a different culture, live under new latitudes and most of all fulfill a dream…

• What are your Instagram account and your blog about? 

Before coming to Guadeloupe we had to thought about the different ways to stay in touch with our loved ones, share our daily life and also justify choices!
My passion for photography led me of course to Instagram and the blog (my main blog 1idée.net is more about photography and wasn’t appropriate for this adventure). On Instagram I’ve decided to publish one picture a day on our first year: a quick way to share our daily life, a track for those that are far away, to not loose contact and share news in a picture, a little heart, a few words… (and of course have some news about friends and family thanks to this method). But with Instagram I’ve also been able to discover places that you don’t take time to explore unless you live there, touch other users of the social network, share, discover, exchange… And I still do all that!
The blog2pairedetongs is kind of a journal, or a way to send news to those we left behind without spending hours to write emails… The blog is the track of our discoveries, the first feelings and impressions, it’s also the album that we share online with our loved ones! And it encourages our friends to come and discover the island 😉

• Why did you decide to turn your Instagram account or your blog into a book? 

It seemed important to me that having a “material track” of my Instagram account and my blog, an album that you can read again whenever you want, an everlasting memory…. We keep this book in our bookshelf and we read it everytime with a great pleasure, seeing how far we’ve come and it’s not over! I’ve offered the book of my blog to my daughter, so that she can keep track of our adventure overseas… Adventure that continues and delights us every day!

• How did you know BlookUp?

I’ve nown Blookup wandering on the internet, Twitter and I’ve immediately thought about my Instagram account. When I received it, I loved it and I ordered the book of my blog!

• What are the positive points of the platform? 

It’s very quick and easy, in a few clicks the book is made and shipped in just a few days! Including overseas… Furthermore, the package arrives in excellent shape.

• How did you find the final result? 

The final result is good! Just a little thing that wasn’t so great regarding the layout, sometimes the captions and the pictures are not on the same page… Some pictures are a little dark but the global quality is very good!

• What do your friends and family think about your books? 

They’ve find the idea excellent and pleasant, it’s like a “travel journal” in a book! My daughter really likes to read those books, and remember those good times! So mission accomplished!!

• Would you recommend BlookUp?

Yes, I recommend BlookUp of course! And I will make more volumes!
