    Two creatives. One wanderlist. Zero reasons to stay at home.How Far From Home is a personal project created to reinvigorate the creativity of two South African creatives, who had reached a point in their advertising careers where global exploration and going beyond the comfort zone was the only option. The mission has been to see how far from home Steve & Chanel could get - literally to see how far from Johannesburg they could travel, and figuratively to see how far out of the comfort zone they could push themselves.Since departing South Africa in March 2015, the idea has evolved from a sabbatical concept to a full-time lifestyle, allowing the two entrepreneurs to collaborate with fellow artists and brave brands from all over the world, in the process growing their social media presence to over 160,000. Chanel & Stevo offer creative strategy, content creation, photography, film production, and influencer programs to their array of clients, on platforms such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook. Working on accounts such as Marriott International, Expedia, The Luxury Collection, Honda, Air Canada, Colombia, Eurowings, Empire State Building, and Tourism Boards from Kenya, Qatar, and South Africa to name a few.
