THE AWAY TEAM
Welcome to The Away Team, a travel blog for those interested in getting away, curious to learn about new places, or looking for a little escapism. We hope you can live vicariously through us and maybe get inspired to explore somewhere new for yourself.
ABOUT THE SITE
How We Got Here
We're Sam and Marissa. We met in college and became great friends, then started dating and got married. During a trip to Canada in 2011, we soon discovered we both had a love for travel. Shorty after, we started booking our own trips, starting with some of our bucklet list countries in Europe.
Our vision for this blog is to, first-and-foremost, keep our family, friends, and acquaintances updated on our various trips, but we also hope to share things we learn along the way like tips about where to stay in a particular city, hacks for getting around lines at tourist attractions, packing & travel tips, and more. We consider ourselves, thrifty travelers, but willing to spend a little more or go off the beaten path if needed.We are so excited to share our adventures and we hope you'll get something out of it. Maybe even see how easy and thrilling traveling to a new country or city can be.
We plan to share both international and domestic travel destinations (and pictures of us traveling the U.S. in our cute little camper). We hope to keep posts light, humorous, and to the point. We will definitely share any funny mishaps we encounter (like the time we got locked inside a dressing room at the Szechenyi Baths in Budapest or driving on the wrong side of the road in Scotland, whoops!). We hope you enjoy the blog!
We're The Away Team!
