Influencer couple wants to Travel but not to Work

By Andrescoto87 - June 19, 2019



A couple who go by the names Cat and Elena on their Instagram account (@another_beautiful_day_official) are currently asking their followers for donations to fund their trip to Africa, as they have stated that they do not wish to work. The couple considers themselves "influencers," and have previously shared their luxurious lifestyle with their followers. However, their recent request for donations has sparked controversy and criticism from many people, who question the ethics of asking others to pay for their travels.







We could write a long text about mental health or global warming. We could tell you about following your dreams, or how important stepping out of your comfort zone is. We could tell you how beautiful traveling is, and it’s benefits, or the fact that most news don’t match reality. But we’re going to show you! Less talking more action. Starting on the 20th of July in the middle of Germany, on a tandem, me and Eli will cycle towards Africa, and hopefully beyond. We want to take you all on this huge adventure. A celebration of life, as we ride freely across mountains, by the sea and through metropolitans. We will show the beauty of this planet and it’s inhabitants, but also the ugliness. But we can not do this on our own. We need you! The funds we raise will go towards the bike and gear, food and accommodation (when needed), internet and SIM cards in every country to keep you up to date, insurance, emergencies. We need funds now for preparation as well as throughout our trip. Every dollar, every message, every couch or garden for our tent, any help you can offer will help us go further. We hope you all enjoy and learn with us. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE another beautiful day with love Cat and Eli Link in bio Or paypal Abd_cat@hotmail.com

Get a job! byronwilkinson

I like you both a lot and have been following your posts for a while now but I just don’t really get how this helps people with mental health issues like myself ? ... sesujdog I’ve always liked what you do. But this is ridiculous. Especially the reason why you can’t get money on your own highkickreflex
And, what people find offensive is not that the couple wants to travel to Africa, is the fact of the way they are looking for the budget they want to spend. Because they want that budget from people's donations.

Some of the couple's reasons to do this are the following:

"Some of you have told us to get a job, like everyone does and to stop asking for money. But when you get the impact that we have on others' life, having a job is not an option.
"We could be model and earn some money fast, but we don't want to earn money doing consumerism publicity"

The controversy surrounding Cat and Elena (@another_beautiful_day_official), the couple asking for donations to fund their trip to Africa, has deepened following comments they made about their finances. In one post, the couple revealed that Cat's mother has two jobs to help support their travel expenses.

The couple plans to begin their trip in Germany on July 20th, before continuing on to Africa. They have promised to keep their followers updated on their journey, saying "We want to take you all with us on this adventure."

So far, the couple has only raised 277 euros out of their goal of 10,000 euros through their GoFundMe page.
