I was very excited to go on my first travel photographer assignment. Together with over 75 Instagram users and travel bloggers in over 60 countries, we all worked together creating a huge real-time digital “relay” to help promote UN World Tourism Day (on 27 September 2015) and HelloWorld. More info about it here and the relay photos page can be viewed here.
I was chosen by Atout France Australia to represent France and cover Paris and the Normandy region. In order to be selected, I had to submit a sample itinerary and I chose the Provence area since I know it quite well and I love travelling there. However, Normandy was a very pleasant surprise as it’s one of the few areas in France I haven’t explored yet so I was excited to discover new places, and especially Le Mont Saint Michel.
Here is the route we took.
