Meet Celine – @Celinparadise Bobe | Yoga Instructor & Content Creator – Creareality’s Director

We had the good fortune of connecting with Celine – @Celinparadise Bobe and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Celine – @Celinparadise, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?

I left my historical little town of Dunkirk, France in 2013 at the age of 20, for what I thought would be a year abroad. I then lived in 5 countries, working in Events and Marketing before starting my own business doing Yoga & Marketing/Content Creation in Australia. This journey hasn’t always been easy and there are always so many challenges to overcome when moving abroad and setting up your own thing, but in the end it is so worth it.

Starting my own business has always been something I thought about, I wanted to work from anywhere, on my own terms. Before I started, I worked a really demanding job as an Event and Marketing Manager. I was bringing home the stress and never really disconnected from it. On the edge of a burn-out, I started to brainstorm business’s ideas, gathering my skills to create something that could help others too.

Surrounding myself with like-minded people and creatives that love what they do helped me a lot. On the other hand, I believe that travelling opens your eyes to see the world differently, gives you new opportunities and helps you to brainstorm on new ideas for your business and helps you to become the best version of yourself, a great communicator and also it gets easier making new clients per example. Also if you are passionate about what you do, people feel it too. The hardest step is always the first one, stepping out of your comfort zone to the unknown, taking risks and experiencing failure. But failure is all part of the process. Once you have taken that first step, you’re on for a beautiful ride. No matter how easy or hard it will get, you will learn along the way, become more independent and assertive, learn to solve problems and grow continually. I have realised by doing more and more things that makes me happy, it is a beautiful feeling that I want others to experience too.

Being my own boss gives me the freedom to be my most creative-self and express my skills fully. I now help people to develop their business ideas and transform them into reality, this is how I created CreaReality: www.Creareality.com. I do believe doing something you love is much more rewarding in the long-term.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Professionally, I love multitasking and working on different projects at the same time! I do a lot of photography and videography and travelling the world helps with getting new clients in totally different fields.

Please tell us more about your work. We’d love to hear what sets you apart from others, what you are most proud of or excited about. How did you get to where you are today professionally. Was it easy? If not, how did you overcome the challenges? What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way. What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?
I’m a French-Australian photographer and I have been travelling the world for more than 10 years. I try to capture beautiful moments of connection between nature and people. I love life and try to look at the world with different eyes through my lenses.

I left my historical little town of Dunkirk, France, in 2013 at the age of 20, for what I thought would be a year abroad. I then lived in Belgium, the UK and the Maltese Islands, Australia and now living abroad in Canada working in Events and Marketing before starting my own business doing Yoga and Marketing. This journey hasn’t always been easy and there is always so many challenges to overcome when you move to a different country and setting up your own thing, but at the end it is so worth it.

What has helped me, is surround myself with like-minded people and creatives that love what they do. On the other hand, I believe that travelling open your eyes to see the world differently, gives you new opportunities and helps you to brainstorm on new ideas for your business and helps you to become the best version of yourself which help you on becoming a great communicator with others and create new clients per example.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?

I’m all about sharing good times and if a friend came to visit me in Perth, I would take them for a nice Brunch at a local cafe facing the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean, one of my favourite would be at “Trigg Beach Canteen”. Then we would swim and chill, and end with a cute picnic on the sand while watching the sunset.

Then we’ll hit the road to go down-South and explore the coast of Western Australia, driving down on the long straight roads with good tunes , heading to Dunsborough for our first stop (which is one of my favourite city in the world) where we can watch dolphins and humpback whales migrating from the shore (Winter season only).

We would then drive further south to the Iconic Margaret River: a tiny surfer’s town, where we would go on trails along the coast and watch the surfers til sunset!

Last stop would be spending a couple of days near Hamelin Bay, where we can see eagle rays and even interact with them, stopping by exploring some Caves along the way and taking some photos in the incredible Boranup Forest.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Throughout my travels around the world, I have met some really inspiring people that led me to take the decision to  become my own boss. If I could think of people that have inspire me, a big shoutout to my yoga instructor, Yasmeen Q. She deepened my love for Yoga and on the other hand some adventure photographers that left their 9-5 routine job to go 100% doing what they love. Those people have had a big impact on my life and decisions. I hope I can also become a source of inspiration for others, so that they can also pursue their dreams and live their best lives!
