Instagram Influencer Spotlight On: Kristine Irene @kristine_irene

1) Tell us a little about yourself. What are you doing now and where do you come from?

I was born and raised in Norway, then moved to the UK, then the US (where I worked in Disney World) and since April last year, I’ve been living in Paris, France. Just like most people, I do have a regular job besides being an influencer. I’m a Norwegian language teacher. My dream is to one day write for a travel magazine on a monthly basis AND manage my own travel agency.

2) What are your topics of interest? What do you post on Instagram the most?

Traveling. No doubt about it. My entire feed is dedicated to it.

3) How did your Instagram name come about?

It’s my first name and my middle name.

4) What are some apps you use to edit your photos? Share with us your photo-editing routine!

I use an app called AirBrush for my portraits, and VSCO for my landscape photos.

5) Any Instagrammers whom you really like? Which Instagrammer inspires you the most?

@theballoondiary – a girl who’s traveling with a pink balloon and is always looking gorgeous and stylish while doing so. All her photos are perfect. Also @muradosmann and his wife and their #followmeto photos. They are amazing.

6) If there’s one thing your fellow Instagrammers just gotta try now, what’s it gonna be?

Pack your bags and go wherever you wanna go. And if we’re ever in the same place at the same time, let’s hang out.

7) What’s your favorite part about being an influencer?

Helping people gain confidence to do the things that I’ve done to get to where I am now

8) What are some of your top tips to brands for running campaigns? How do you maintain authenticity?

Communication is everything. If I’m gonna help you out, I wanna feel like we have a friend connection going. I like to treat people as if they’re my friends – or even family. I guess that’s why I prefer helping out the little start ups and small businesses rather than big corporations.

9) What would your advice be on the importance of quality and original content?

Just be yourself. Be creative. Take chances. And don’t be afraid of coming across as weird or over-confident. It’s a good thing, really. And before you publish anything, ask a friend or a family member about their honest opinion.

10) What do you like best about partnering with brands?

Teamwork and collaboration.
