Could you introduce yourself in a few lines so that our community can get to know you better? How would you define your style/universe as an adventure sports influencer?
Hello, my name is Gabrielle and I am 29 years old. I'm originally from Brittany and live in Pau.
My world as an Instagram influencer is quite simple: good mood every day, sport (a lot of sport even), travel and adventure!! A girl who never stops (or almost!)
Date of creation of your activity on social networks as an adventure sports influencer?
I created @gobynette a little less than 3 years ago and https://gobynette.com/ 1 year and a half ago
What triggered you and why did you embark on your social networking adventure with instagram?
The trigger: um all my friends were on insta, I didn't want to sign up, and one day, a friend said to me "do you want to see my new guy?", "yes", "well sign up on insta, I put a photo", "don't you want to send me the photo instead??". "No". I created an account, I didn't understand anything about instagram and it really pissed me off straight away, so I went to see the famous photo then I thought I had deleted my account. Not at all. I had just deleted the app. A few days later, we had a girls' night out and they said to me "that's it, you're finally on instagram, yahoo". "No, not at all". "Yes, yes, and you're even going to post your first photo tonight". So my friends introduced me to instagram hahah. Has the student surpassed the masters??
, in my spare time 2 years ago, I wrote case law reports (to put it simply, legal stuff), I was a little fed up with spending my days working on law, so I chose to stop (also it was starting to bore me a little, even if it's true that it allowed me to be more up to date with legal news) and start blogging.
How much time do you spend on your articles or videos? Production, editing…? Do you have any organizational advice for other adventure sports influencers?
Honestly, it takes time... I'm aware that I don't answer all the messages at all, because my life is not Instagram. So I try to be present every day in my stories and posts. For the blog, it's when I have time (right now for example it's complicated, I don't even have time to write the second part of my
What community and audience are you targeting?
According to Instagram, mostly men, and generally in my age category 18-35.
Lots of sportsmen and sportswomen. Triathletes and runners.
Where do you find most of your inspiration? And which social networks do you use most?
I don't really have any inspiration. I follow a lot of athletes on Instagram, so it must influence me. But in the end, I stay myself. Otherwise, I only use Instagram and Facebook; that's enough.
How do you manage your time, between your family, your work and your social networks? Do you have a job or another activity besides your work as an adventure sports influencer?
It's an organization. I know that some people around me don't really like this "instagram" aspect, so when I'm with them, I'm there at a minimum. On the work side, I'm not there, I don't have time, you have to work and earn a living. I sometimes share funny little things from my professional life, but it's very rare.
Yes, I was a lawyer and I am becoming a magistrate. For me insta or the blog is not a job, it is where I share my passions for fun.
Do you produce your own visuals and photos? And if so, what equipment do you use?
Hum behind every photo is a shadowy person who takes it!! So thank you to the people who play the game every day. I have an iPhone X and a Nikon for my travels.
What advice would you give to other influencers in the community?
To be yourself. And continue to share what makes them happy on a daily basis. To be a passionate and true person.
What would you like to undertake or develop next in your life as an adventure sports influencer?
Not much, continuing to share my passions with my subscribers is already not bad.
