Work With Me

Travel content creation for brands, hotels, tour operators, and experiences in Latin America and Southeast Asia

I help travel brands tell the story of what an experience actually feels like.

Through photography, video, honest storytelling, and social content that reaches travelers at the exact moment they're deciding what to book.

Let's Build Something Together

About Me

I'm Hugo, a French traveler, photographer, and content creator who's spent the last few years living out of a backpack across Latin America and Southeast Asia.

I started Horizon Hugo to share the kind of travel content I was always looking for myself: honest, specific, and actually useful for people planning real adventures.

I don't just pass through places. I hike volcanos, dive into the ocean, trek for days, ride motorbikes through mountain loops, sleep under the stars, and eat where the locals eat.

That means when I cover an experience, I can tell people what it genuinely feels like, not just what it looks like.

That's what makes the content work.

Why Work With 'Horizon Hugo'

Niche Focus, Real Authority

Horizon Hugo is built around Latin America and Southeast Asia, not the whole world. That focus means my audience comes to me for exactly those destinations, and trusts my recommendations because I've actually been there.

An Audience That's Ready to Book

My readers and followers are in their late 20s and early 30s, mostly from Europe and North America. They travel with a budget for real experiences, guided treks, immersive tours, quality stays, multi-day adventures. They are actively researching before they book, and they want to hear from someone who's done it.

Full Content Production, Start to Finish

I handle photography, video, drone footage, editing, writing, and publishing. You don't need a separate photographer, videographer, or copywriter, I bring it all together and deliver content that's ready to use.

Third-party Storytelling That People Trust

Travelers trust someone who's genuinely done the experience far more than a brand promoting itself. When I cover a tour, a stay, or an activity through my own channels, my audience takes it seriously. That social proof drives bookings.

Content on My Channels

For the right collaborations, I feature your experience directly through Horizon Hugo — blog post, Instagram, and YouTube. This brings your brand in front of my audience organically, through genuine storytelling from someone who's actually been there.

The combination of all three platforms (article + social + video) gives your brand long-term visibility and searchable content that keeps working for months after the initial publish.

Best for: Companies wanting third-party coverage and social proof alongside brand assets.

Photo & Video Library Licensing

I have an extensive library of more than 40,000 photos and 10TB of video footage from the following countries:

Asia: Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia
Europe: France, Portugal
Central America: Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica
South America: Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Brazil

If you need high-quality destination visuals for a campaign, website, or social media, I may already have exactly what you need. Get in touch and I'll check what's available.

Best for: Tourism boards, travel publications, booking platforms, and brands needing destination-specific visuals fast.

Photography & Video Production

I create high-quality visual assets for your brand's website, social media, and marketing campaigns. This includes:

Landscape and destination photography
Experience and activity coverage
Accommodation and property visuals
Drone footage (aerial landscapes, overhead shots, POV sequences)
Short-form vertical video for Instagram Reels, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts
Longer cinematic edits for your website or YouTube

Everything is delivered fully edited and ready to publish.

Best for: Tourism brands, hotels, tour operators, and experience companies that need a strong visual content library.

UGC-Style Travel Content

If your brand needs authentic, traveler-perspective content — the kind that feels real, not staged — I create natural, relatable assets that perform well as organic posts or paid ads. This works especially well for brands that want to move away from polished promotional visuals and toward content people actually engage with.

Best for: Tourism brands, activity companies, and travel apps targeting a younger, experience-driven audience.

Who's My Audience

My audience is mainly men in their late twenties and early thirties, around 65% male and 35% female, mostly from Europe and North America.

They are not on a shoestring budget.

They travel to experience things: guided treks, cultural immersion, multi-day adventures, quality stays, and activities worth writing home about.

They research seriously before booking. They trust recommendations from people who've genuinely done the experience over any promotional material.

When they find an honest review, a strong photo, or a video that shows them exactly what an experience feels like, they act on it.

That's what I give them, and that's why the content converts.

Let's Create Something Travelers Will Trust

The best travel partnerships do two things at once:

They give you great content
And give future customers the push they need to book.

If your experience, stay, or brand fits my destinations and audience, I'd genuinely love to explore a collaboration.
