Travel with Sam Brings Vacations to Instagram
When Sam Freij is not working as an automobile industry manager, he enjoys traveling to new places and enjoying the local landscape and cuisine. He documents his trips on an Instagram feed, Travel with Sam (@travel_with_sam), which is rapidly gaining traction. The majority of his page is dedicated to various beaches, cuisines, and beverages. Each post on the page informs a community of hundreds of thousands of followers about where Sam is or what he is cooking or eating.
The page currently has more than 256,000 followers and just over a thousand posts. For a page that is still mainly a hobby for its owner, it has experienced excellent growth over the past year. Followers get a chance to see a variety of vacation spots, as well as different beaches and food options. There is rarely more than a gap of a few days between posts, meaning that followers can always expect to have new and unique content on their feeds.
The most recent posts on the page showcase the diversity of content that you can get from Travel with Sam. There’s a post for flying out to a destination, a beachside sunset, and a firewood-baked Lahmajin made by Freij himself. Those homemade meals are an additional highlight of the page, along with the vacation destinations, but food from those visits is also featured frequently.
The travel page prides itself on its consistency and diverse content. Freij encourages anyone looking to start a successful Instagram page to strive for the same qualities. Content that you can expect to see on your feeds that is familiar and yet unique with each post helps keep bringing users back to popular pages.
Travel with Sam has covered dozens of countries, but the most frequently visited destination is Cancun, Mexico. The page often showcases the beautiful resorts and beaches in the area along with the food and drink options that they offer. Press in Cancun has also noticed the page leading to some exciting networking opportunities.
The page has been featured by Hyatt Aruba and Intercontinental Presidente Cancun. With followers from all over the world, they hope to continue to gain opportunities with other media outlets across the globe to give exposure to the page, as well as to travel destinations in each publication’s area.
The account’s follower base primarily comes from North America, but they also have plenty of followers from South America and Canada. The account’s reach even stretches as far as Russia. Having a diverse following has helped the account’s exposure and they hope to continue to gain followers from all over the world.
The Travel with Sam account is a win-win situation for everyone involved. Freij gets to enjoy traveling to Cancun, the Caribbean Islands, and many other premiere destinations. Followers get an up-close look at the amazing locations and cultures and the travel spots get some amazing, free exposure on a digital platform.
Freij has put in a lot of hard work in his life and that has allowed him to do even more work with the Instagram page. He doesn’t see the social media opportunity as work though. Freij is just having lots of fun and bringing Instagram users from around the world along for the ride.
“I love it and I don’t have any plans of stopping,” he says. “I really think this page can do so much for so many people and I wanna see how far we can go. It’s an amazing opportunity on so many levels.”
