Since leaving the UK and starting a new life abroad, we've discovered that no two days are ever the same.
This week brings some exciting possibilities as we've been approached with four brand opportunities across completely different industries. Nothing is confirmed just yet, but it's an exciting step in our journey as content creators, so we're taking you behind the scenes to show you what goes into preparing for a potential brand collaboration.
There's also plenty of everyday life along the way. Working remotely with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean and even finding time for a swim!
We're also spending more time exploring the opportunities around Alanya, particularly within the local travel and tourism industry. With it's beautiful coastline, yacht rental experiences, Turkish sailing trips and traditional pirate boat excursions, there's so much to discover along the Turkish Riviera.
Of course, life wouldn't be life without a few unexpected problems, and this week the car decides to give us something else to deal with!
Join us for another glimpse into our journey of building a new life, discovering opportunities and enjoying everything Türkiye has to offer.
Have you ever considered moving abroad? Or perhaps you're already living overseas? We'd love to hear your experiences in the comments.
A content creator shares their experience managing multiple brand deals while working remotely from a boat along the Turkish coastline. The video captures the balance between professional deadlines, the freedom of a digital nomad lifestyle, and the unexpected stresses of traveling abroad, including vehicle malfunctions.
We woke up this morning with four brand deals
and quite honestly I don't know whether to be scared
or like. We're gonna be prepping, doing the script,
editing it and then submitting it for them to make
a decision whether they go with us
or not. But here's the thing it's from four different companies
One is a technology company, another one is a dance company,
another one is a makeup company,
from four different companies.
and lastly one of them is a pajama company.
How do we go about this? The first thing that
we'll be doing is prepping, seeing exactly what the company wants,
and then developing a script,
It's great.
recording it, and then editing it, and lastly submitting it.
In great fresh artistic style, I've left it far too late.
I've got about a week to get all of this done and submitted.
I am a brick in it.
So you guys ask us how we stick to £50 a week.
Our office has a sea view
One of the things that we love about the work that we're building
is that we're not tied to one particular location.
As content creators, provided we have our laptops
and an internet connection, we can work pretty much anywhere.
And this week we've been given an opportunity
to spend some time working on a boat.
Now this is definitely a little different
from sitting at a desk at home or an office.
We can grab ourselves a coffee or tea,
get the laptop out and crack on with some work.
And whilst we're working, the kids can go out and play
and they can have a little bit of a swim with other children.
too can dive and get our shoes
Oh yeah!

I tell you Izinkanlah minat kaleng gula
There's something quite special about being able to work like this,
particularly when you look up from your screen
and see the beautiful Turkish coastline.
Jambu!
That's where Ahsan has just jumped from,
that cave into the water, about 20 metres.
Yes, Ahsan!
Hey, shoo!
Yes!
Does
it
touch
it?
It touched right next to the harbour.
He's going about his business
Apparently, it can feel your hand through the shell.
It's like a fingernail.
Oh, it's going back in there.
Yeah, it feels it.
When you touch it gently, it feels it.
Oh how cute they are. That's great.
I wasn't expecting that. Here as well Lane.
And just when everything
was going rather smoothly we've got a problem with the car.
Now there's one thing we've learned since moving abroad
is that you need to be prepared for the
unexpected. So off we went to see if a garage could have a look
and see if they could get it sorted.
And something you'll notice about
this particular road is that there's about
a million car accessory shops.
Honestly everywhere you look there's another one.
Okay, two together, okay.
This guy's remade his bike.
Oh.
Two stroke, two stroke, two now.
All right.
That guy's crazy right there.
Crazy!
Thank you very much.
Right guys I've come to get some oil
because my oil is leaking from my car.
I'm going to come to that more later
in terms of what needs to be done but
the boat car is broken. Officially broken but I'm still driving it.
So I'm losing oil from the transmission
and I need to get some oil so I've come to a shop.
I'll show you what kind of shop looks like.
it's a one of these mechanic supply shops they sell mainly oil
and many many different kinds of
oil i just bought the oil and i bought the wrong gel four
and i need gel five so it costs about
500 turkish lira depends on what oil you need
for this one this guy come and see him get some oil
you can buy some oil he's got all the oil
and air filters everything you need for most cars if you're in turkey
so all right so now i've got
the oil i'm going to replace it in the car i'm going
to temporarily fix the problem until i can
continue and hopefully get in the water
because that's the whole point of being in turkey is it
everything's done i've submitted the videos back down
on the beach it's night time sunset
And now I guess it's just waiting and seeing what their decision is.
Are they going to choose us or are they not going to?
So we'll let you know in the next video.
As you can see, our days in Turkey is busy.
There's no one day that is the same over here.
It can be good.
It can be nerve wracking.
It can be tiring.
It can be stressful.
It can be happy.
But yeah, every day is completely different.
Honestly, we wake up and we don't know what the day is going to bring.
But ultimately whenever the day ends we've got
this to come back to and quite honestly
it does make it better.
Even though you know it is a little bit stressful at times it does
make it better. In the next video I'm going
to let you know how the brand deals went. We are just
getting out of Jandarma now. The best sunset
is in Turkey at the moment and you can see our boat car.
And we've got a story about Columbus we need to sort out
but we're going to talk about it in another video.
We've got a story about today
but we'll probably tell you about this another time too.
