Couple on 10-year honeymoon they funded 'by selling saucy photos' share life update

A couple on a 10-year honeymoon travelling the world funded by selling steamy photos have shared an update from the beaches of Thailand.

Kieran Shannon celebrated his 30th birthday on Koh Phangan with his partner Silke Muys, 32, having tied the knot on the Isle of Skye, in August 2021.

The couple, who first met in Sitges, outside Barcelona, in Spain, have told how they live off just £7 a day by selling the risque snaps as they travel.

So far they have been to Iceland, Spain and Portugal before spending three months in Sri Lanka and then on to India, Nepal and Thailand.

They posted a YouTube video from Koh Pengan, captioned by Kieran writing: “Celebrating my 30th birthday on Koh Phangan with new friends was so beautiful and I really wouldn't have changed it!

Maybe next year I'll get all of my family to come and meet us somewhere EPIC!!!”

The video shows them sitting on the beach with Kieran playing the guitar and then they run naked into the sea.

“After an amazing time on the beach we’re going back to do some volunteering,” he then said.

They can be seen having a birthday cake with friends before heading back to the beach with Kieran continuing: “Then we are going to meet some friends for some adventures.”

They manage to fund their travels for just £7 a day by staying in the cheapest option on Hostelworld and eating only street food. This gives them leftover money from their £350-a-month income they earn from uploading nude artsy shots to Patreon every Friday. Subscribers can pay £6-a-week for seductive shots in breathtaking locations around the world.

They plan to continue their honeymoon for 10 years, and their current plan is to travel on to Chile and then up to Alaska, as well as visiting Myanmar and Mongolia.

Silke said: "We get to know each other better by sharing these magical moments together on top of mountains and beneath waterfalls.

"Everyday is an adventure. We lead such a beautiful life but we try to share the hard times too because it’s not always easy.

"It's amazing when hotels have us to stay for free but we love meeting new people from all over the world in hostels. We go for the cheapest place on Hostelworld and they're not always the nicest."
