Hi, I’m Jen

I’m a traveller and online content creator from England. Although I’m English I have actually lived more outside of England than in it. I grew up in a town near Amsterdam in The Netherlands where I attended International Schools so I’ve always been very influenced by other cultures and languages around me. Being in a class with students from over 30 different countries has that effect on you. Another big influence for me growing up was my amazing grandfather who traveled around the world, from Antarctica to Australia he was always off on an adventure or sailing his yacht to faraway lands. I used to sit on his knee and listen to his travel stories with my mouth open in amazement & he definitely sparked my love for all things travel from a very young age.

After travelling to Turkey for a Summer job in 2007, I met my now husband and moved to a seaside resort on the Aegean coast of Turkey. In 2011 I bought an iPhone 3GS, downloaded an app called Instagram and documented my travels around Turkey, editing & uploading them to Instagram.

These days pretty much everyone sells their presets on Instagram, but we were the very first people to do that in the form of an editing app. My Husband is an app developer so in 2012 he created Deluxe FX app for editing your travel photos on the go. We turned Instagram into a full time job then and started to work with hotels, brands and tourism boards around the world to showcase amazing destinations and countries.

My most asked Questions…

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

I’m English! I was born in Essex, grew up in The Netherlands, moved to Turkey and now home is back in the beautiful countryside of West Sussex on the South Coast of England.

WHAT CAMERA DO YOU USE?

A Sony a74 and a Sony a7c for all of my photos and some of my videos. I also my iPhone 15 pro for 99% of my video content as thats the one I always have with me!

WHAT DO YOU EDIT YOUR PHOTOS WITH?

I use Lightroom and my own ‘izkiz’ app which is available on the Apple App Store. It has filters and overlays perfect for all your travel photos.

WHAT DOES IZKIZ MEAN?

When I started instagram in 2011 I wanted a short, catchy name. It’s random but ‘iz’ comes from the first 2 letters of the city in Turkey that I was living in & ‘Kiz’ meaning girl in Turkish.

1. Shibuya Crossing 🚶‍♀️Up to 3,000 people cross simultaneously from all directions in perfect harmony. It’s one of Tokyo’s most iconic experiences and the ultimate photo opportunity

2. Senso-ji Temple 🏯 Visitors waft incense smoke over themselves for good health and fortune at this stunning 7th-century temple. The approach through Nakamise shopping street is lined with traditional snacks and souvenirs

3. Sushi Experience 🍣 Tokyo has more Michelin-starred sushi restaurants than anywhere else in the world. We sat at an intimate omakase counter and watched the chef prepare each piece right in front of us, every slice of fish was pristine, every bite absolutely melted. It’s not just a meal, it’s a performance

4. SHIBUYA SKY 🌃 This stunning observation facility in Shibuya Scramble Square, connected to Shibuya Station, offers 360-degree panoramic views from 229 metres above the ground. On clear days, Mount Fuji provides a spectacular backdrop to the glittering cityscape

teamLab Borderless: MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSE teamLab Borderless: MORI Building DIGITAL ART MUSEUM in Tokyo is like stepping into another universe ✨️ We wandered through spaces filled with floating and glistering lights that surrounded us from every angle. Every space flows into the next and the art responds to your movements, so you never quite know what’s coming. Absolutely magical. We spent hours getting completely lost in here 🇯🇵
