Work with me
Places, Not Faces is a bilingual (English and Spanish) travel project by Leiser: Instagram Reels at @laser_2017_, plus practical travel guides on this website. The idea is simple: show the place, not the selfie, so your destination is the star.

What I create
- Instagram Reels with on-screen place names and facts, filmed and edited by me
- A full travel guide on this website in English and Spanish: how to get there, what to do, where to stay and FAQs, written to rank on Google and Pinterest. It keeps bringing readers long after a post leaves the feed.
- Pinterest pins for the guide, linking back to it
- Photos and drone footage you can reuse (licence agreed per project)
Ways to work together
- Destination or tourism board features: a Reel plus a dedicated guide on the website
- Hotels, hostels and stays: a stay in exchange for a Reel and a mention in the "Where to stay" section of the guide
- Tours and experiences: I join the activity and feature it in the Reel and the guide
- Street art and cultural projects: murals, festivals and galleries, which are the heart of this account
