About

Hey, I’m Asya!

I am a Travel Influencer, Content Creator, Blogger & iPhone Photography Coach and Digital Nomad. I’ve been perfecting the iPhone photography game since 2015!

My passion and mission is to offer informative travel guides for couples & tips and to help teach women how to be confident in front of the camera, leverage their iPhone to take & edit amazing travel photos & videos like a pro for their online business & brand.

Art runs in my family and that’s where my creative side came from. My family are either sculptors, painters, classical musicians, writers or art critics. I learned in high school that my passion is photography. In photography class, I used the old Pentax & Minolta cameras and developed my own photos in the darkroom. When not in class, I still loved taking photos on a film camera. I did switch to a digital camera later and when I bought my first smartphone - Samsung S3, that’s when I took my photography in a different direction.

My first iPhone was the 6 Plus in 2015. I am mostly self-taught, so other than my high school photography class and online courses, I never had any formal training. Now I will save you the long years of mistakes, so that you can take this information & apply it right away to where your photography game is on point to rock Instagram and your business.

I used to model for 8 years. I did a lot of runway, studio & on-location photo shoots. I won the title of Miss Toronto Tourism Swimwear 2007 & Miss Canada Tourism 2007. I had the privilege of representing Canada in Turkey at the Miss Tourism World 2007 pageant where I won the titles of Miss Bikini World Americas 2007 & Model of the Universe Americas 2007. You can find some old photos and videos on my YouTube channel & Instagram.

My entrepreneurial journey was born when I was involved in Network Marketing in my early 20s. That was also when I was introduced to personal development. I started reading books and listening to audios to rewire my thinking and grew as an individual very quickly. I went 5 years without watching TV or going to the movies. I wanted to learn and better myself and that growth phase was very necessary in my life. I realized a burning desire I had in me to be my own boss, escape the 9-5 rat race, & build my dreams rather than work for someone else to build theirs. This is how my business was born.

During that time I got to know Jesus, I started building my personal relationship with Him & realized that I was created in His perfect image. I was born again by His grace. I went through a lot of healing and this journey allowed me to learn how much Jesus loves us all and that He has a greater plan for each of our lives than we can imagine. This has been the greatest change in my life.

Today, I am doing what I am passionate about and what I was called to do.

I am fueled by lots & lots of coffee & would consider myself a wine enthusiast. I am digital nomad, ex-pat and travel the world with my husband.

I love to travel with my husband & take amazing travel photos and videos! Travelling gets me excited and I think it’s so important for couples to make a conscious effort to see the world together as much as they can. It helps you grow as a person, brings you and your spouse closer together, brings you joy & excitement, gets you out of your comfort zone and makes you a more interesting, well-rounded person.

I want to inspire other couples to travel as much as they can & enjoy every moment together! Don’t wait for tomorrow because this pandemic has shown us that in many ways tomorrow is not promised. Don’t procrastinate and do today what you wanted to do tomorrow.

I only partner and work with hotels, brands & companies I truly believe in, so you can trust I will never promote anything I haven’t tested or believe in 100%. I am passionate about the products and companies that I support.

I love challenging the status quo in many ways but especially in my photos & videos.

Instagram is my favourite app & you can always connect with me there.
