Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Haley Adams. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Haley thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. When did you first know you wanted to pursue a creative/artistic path professionally?
The first time I knew I wanted to pursue a creative path professionally was when I began flying with my dog and sharing our experiences on Instagram. It all started as a way to document our travels, but I quickly realized there was a significant need for guidance on how to travel with a dog.
I received an overwhelming number of responses and questions from people who were scared to fly with their furry friends and were avoiding travel because of it. This feedback inspired me to go to great lengths to create a space where people could find in-depth information on how to travel with their dogs confidently.
As I shared dog travel tips, I found that I also enjoyed sharing my life with my audience. This journey introduced me to many new friends and people, creating a sense of community around my content. The connections I formed and the impact I had on helping others overcome their fears solidified my decision to pursue this path professionally. I love the community we have built, and it motivates me to continue creating and sharing valuable content.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.
For those who may not have heard about me before, my name is Haley Adams, and I am the creator behind @OliveTheTravelier. My journey into this industry began when I started documenting my travels with my dog on Instagram. What started as a simple way to capture our adventures quickly turned into a mission to provide much-needed guidance for others looking to travel with their pets.
I discovered a significant gap in the market: many pet owners were scared to fly with their dogs and were avoiding travel altogether because they didn’t want to leave their furry friends behind. Recognizing this need, I dedicated myself to creating in-depth content on how to travel with dogs safely and enjoyably. This includes tips, product recommendations, and personal anecdotes that offer practical advice and reassurance to my audience.
Through sharing my life, dog travel tips, adventures, and self-growth, I strive to cultivate a connection with my audience that fosters confidence and self-discovery. Whether they are at home or embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, I want my followers to feel empowered and informed. I believe that what sets me apart is my genuine passion for helping others and the sense of community I have built around my content. I was recently featured in an interview with CNN about traveling with my dog, which was a proud moment for me and a testament to the impact of my work.
I offer a variety of creative works, from detailed travel guides and product reviews to engaging social media posts and collaborations with brands that align with my values. I am most proud of the positive feedback I receive from my audience, who often share how my content has inspired them to travel with their pets and explore new places.
The main thing I want potential clients, followers, and fans to know is that my brand is built on authenticity, passion, and a genuine desire to help others. I am committed to providing valuable, relatable content that encourages people to step out of their comfort zones and create memorable experiences with and without their pets. Whether you’re looking for dog travel tips, inspiration for your next adventure, or just a sense of community, @OliveTheTravelier is here to support you.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
For me, the most rewarding aspect of being an artist and creative is the impact I have on others. Anytime someone messages me to say they tried something that pushed them out of their comfort zone—whether it’s flying with their dog, going to a movie by themselves, or seeking advice on a personal matter—it absolutely fuels my passion to continue helping others and building their confidence. Knowing that my content can inspire and empower people to step out of their comfort zones and embrace new experiences is incredibly fulfilling. It’s these moments of connection and seeing the positive changes in others’ lives that make all the effort worthwhile.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
Building my audience on social media was a gradual and deliberate process. I focused on creating content that resonated with the audience I was targeting, staying true to my niche of dog travel tips, lifestyle, and self-growth. By consistently providing value and engaging with my followers, I was able to grow a dedicated and interactive community.
For those just starting to build their social media presence, my key piece of advice is not to focus on the number of followers. I know many “smaller” creators who are incredibly successful and impactful. The most important thing is to enjoy what you share. Don’t get caught up in trends—while they can be fun, finding what makes you unique and special is what will truly set you apart.
Stay authentic, be consistent, and connect genuinely with your audience. When you’re passionate about your content and true to yourself, your audience will recognize and appreciate that, and you’ll begin to thrive.
