Conversations with Kate&poli Surala

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kate&poli Surala

Hi Kate&Poli, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hey there! We’re Kate & Poli (aka KALINA). In January 2024, we started sharing our videos, and before long, we hit half a million views. But after a few months, we decided to take a step back, unsure of what our next move should be. Everything changed when we visited Dubai and saw so many creators living their dreams—that experience truly inspired us. In May, we arrived in Bali and committed to creating daily content. By September, our hard work had paid off with over 15K followers and more than 125 million views!

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
No, it hasn’t been a smooth road at all. Working in social media can be an emotional rollercoaster, especially when you face constant criticism from people who tell you you’re doing it all wrong or that you should focus on something “real.” It can be tough, and sometimes it feels like it’s not working. But if you’re pursuing your passion and following your dream, you have to stay strong, block out the negativity, and never give up.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
We’re KALINA, a best-friend duo creating lifestyle, travel and dining content. Known for our high-energy, authentic videos, we share everything from iconic destinations to hidden gems. We’re proud to have built a community of over 15K followers and reached 125+ million views by September 2024. What sets us apart is our genuine friendship and the way we bring viewers along on every trip, making them feel like part of the journey.

So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
People can work with us in a variety of ways! We love collaborating with brands, tourism boards, and creators who align with our style and values. Whether it’s promoting destinations, showcasing unique fashion pieces, or featuring new restaurants, we’re always excited to bring creative ideas to life. To connect, they can reach out directly via Instagram @kalinasurala or send us an email.

For those who want to support us, following our channels, liking, commenting, and sharing our content is a huge help and means the world to us!
