Stel maakt wereldreis van 17 jaar en is inmiddels vier kinderen verder

Zelfspot
Het Amerikaanse koppel Dean en Julie Couchey wil graag laten zien dat dit absoluut niet het geval is. Het tweetal maakt momenteel een wereldreis en doet daar verslag van op op Instagram. De naam van hun account? ‘Two Fat Americans.’

Stigma
“We zochten voor onze reisblog en ons Instagramaccount een naam die zowel grappig als representatief zou zijn”, vertellen de twee aan Travel and Leisure. “We geven toe dat we vrij rond zijn. Maar dat betekent niet alle Amerikanen dikke mensen zijn die zich, als ze op vakantie gaan, alleen maar volproppen met eten. Met onze naam ‘Two Fat Americans’ hopen we dat bezoekers van onze blog verder kijken dan dat stigma”.
