Instagram couple slammed for asking people to fund 'celebration of life' cycling trip to Africa
An Instagram couple from Germany is getting ridiculed on social media after setting up a GoFundMe page to fund their trip to Africa.
Cat and Elena of the Instagram account Another Beautiful Day have come under fire for requesting 10,000 euros ($11,234) to help them go on a “huge adventure” to Africa starting late July. According to GoFundMe and the couple’s Instagram page, the pair are planning on tandem cycling from the “middle of Germany” toward “Africa, and hopefully beyond.”
The two, who did not give specific destinations, described the vague trip as “a celebration of life.”
“We want to take you all on this huge adventure,” the GoFundMe page read. “A celebration of life, as we ride freely across mountains, by the sea and through metropolitans. We will show the beauty of this planet and its inhabitants, but also the ugliness.”
The pair said the money raised would go toward the bike and gear as well as food, accommodations, Internet, SIM cards in every country, insurance and to cover for emergencies if they arise.
“We hope you all enjoy and learn with us,” the post continued before concluding “Together we can make a difference.”
