Could you introduce yourself in a few lines so that our community can get to know you better? How would you define your style/universe as an adventure sports influencer?

Hello, my name is Gabrielle and I am 29 years old. I'm originally from Brittany and live in Pau.

It's pretty simple, my world as an instagram influencer: good humor on a daily basis, sports (lots and lots of sports, in fact), travel and adventure! A girl who never stops (or almost never stops!)

When did you start your social networking activity as an adventure sports influencer?

I created @gobynette a little less than 3 years ago and https://gobynette.com/ 1 year and a half ago

What triggered you and why did you embark on your social networking adventure with instagram?

The trigger: um, all my girlfriends were on insta, I didn't want to sign up, and one day, a friend said to me "do you want to see my new boyfriend?", "yes", "well sign up on insta, I've put a photo up", "don't you want to send me the photo instead??". "No". I created an account, I understood absolutely nothing about instagram and it clearly pissed me off, so I went to see the famous photo and then I thought I'd deleted my account. I hadn't. I'd just deleted the application. A few days later, we're having a girls' night out and they say to me "that's it, you're finally on instagram, youhouuuu". "No, I'm not. "Yes, you are and you're going to post your first photo tonight". So my girlfriends introduced me to instagram hahah. Has the student surpassed the master?

For the blog2 years ago, in my spare time, I was writing case law reports (to put it simply, legal stuff), and I was getting a bit fed up of spending my days working on legal stuff, so I decided to stop (I was getting a bit bored of it too, even though it did keep me up to date with legal news) and start blogging.

How much time do you spend on your articles or videos? Production, editing...? Do you have any organizational tips for other adventure sport influencers?

Frankly, it takes time... I'm aware that I don't reply to every message at all, because my life isn't instagram. So I try to be present every day in my stories and posts. For the blog, it's when I have time (right now, for example, it's complicated, I don't even have time to write the second part of my trip to Iceland this summer!!!).

What community and audience are you targeting?

According to instagram, mostly men, and overall in my 18-35 age bracket.

Lots of sportsmen and women. Triathletes and runners.

Where do you find most of your inspiration? And which social networks do you use most?

I don't really have any inspiration, but I follow a lot of sportsmen on insta, so that's bound to influence me. But in the end, I remain myself. Otherwise, I only use insta and facebookis already enough.

How do you manage your time, between your family, your work and your social networks? Do you have a job or other activity besides your work as an adventure sports influencer?

It's an organization. I know that some people around me don't really like this "instagram" aspect, so when I'm with them, I'm on it as little as possible. When it comes to work, I'm not there, I don't have the time - you have to work and earn a living. Occasionally, I do share funny things from my professional life, but it's very rare.

Yes, I was a lawyer and now I'm a magistrate. For me, insta or the blog isn't a job, it's where I share my passions for pleasure.

Do you produce your own visuals and photos? And if so, what equipment do you use?

Behind each photo is a person behind the scenes taking it! So thank you to the people who lend themselves to the game on a daily basis. I have an Iphone X and a Nikon for my travels.

What advice would you give to other influencers in the community?

To be themselves. And to continue to share what gives them pleasure on a daily basis. To be passionate and true.

What would you like to undertake or develop next in your life as an adventure sports influencer?

Not much, but continuing to share my passions with my subscribers is not bad.
