Dream Chasers: Quitting 9-5 for Global Adventures
Blog
What a year!

Well guys, it’s going to be hard to top that one. 2023 was a whirlwind, the best one yet! The one where we literally quit our 9-5 jobs to live life on our terms. It was actually a scary moment, quitting our jobs. There were many tears and “what ifs”, well actually that part hasn’t changed lol. But, we would never go back. No regrets, hands down the best decision we ever made. We had to make it work, this is our dream and we just cannot give up on it!

No two days are the same with Amy & Rónan. On Monday we could be in Cork, visiting 3 hotels - shooting content of their different types of rooms, spas & restaurants. Tuesday we could be back up the road to Tyrone to get all the editing done and then back on the road again. You never know where you might bump into us two! We work closely with Airbnb’s & hotels up and down the country, helping them improve their social media presence and their content creation skills. The power of social media is unbelievable, it can change peoples businesses over night!

In 2023 we visited 10 countries & very close to all 32 counties. In our eyes, nowhere beats home.

We’re feeling the “new year, new me” buzz and 2024 is going to be a big one. We plan on taking our content creation up a notch and also sharing our skills, whilst visiting a few more countries and ticking off the bucket list of course. Our first trip of 2024 is to Morzine, a 7 night ski trip to the French alps. Our accommodation is incredible, owned by a family run business! Make sure you’re following our socials for all things content creation BTS & travel @ditchinthe9to5.
