Meet Chris Tynes
@justyouravgjoe Tell us how you got started. What got me started was actually a cruise I took in September 2015. We left from Tampa and went to Grand Cayman and Cozumel on board Carnival. Travelling didn’t cross my mind much before then, but that broke the seal. What made me even more interested in travelling was a cheap round trip deal we got from DC to Santiago for $297/pp as well as my partner leaving for a Gap year in 2017, and planning to meet in different countries every couple of months. How does travelling make you feel? When I travel, I literally leave all worries of my regular life behind. I feel free of everything…
My Heart is in Havana
The power of music and dance is so amazing. We may not speak the same language but through the sounds of his guitar, the shake of a beautifully crafted handmade maraca, and this rhythm (that somehow always takes over you while roaming the streets of Havana), the language barriers were broken and the time of our lives was made! Welcome to Havana, Cuba. Where not only the architectural structures and the classic cars have been preserved, but so has the culture, the arts, and the energy! When anyone asks about my trip to Cuba, the 1st thing I have to discuss is the people! So warm, so open, so positive,…
Meet Tammie Bradley
@BradTheGirl Tell us how you got started. I did not get on a plane until I was 21 years old. I joined the military in 2008, which required me to fly. I have been hooked on traveling the world since! My first few plane rides were with the military, with my first “long” trip being to the Middle East. I was able to spend some time in Doha, Qatar on a break from duty and in that moment, I fell in love with traveling and experiencing other cultures! Where did you receive your first passport stamp? While I was deployed in 2012, my friend asked me to go on my…
Meet Whitney Simmons
@WorldWideWithWhit Tell us how you got started. Growing up in the Bronx, New York, I never imagined traveling the World. As I got older and connected with more people and some of my family members, I learned that there is such a beautiful place outside of America that I needed to explore on my own. So I became curious and wanted to see for myself! How does traveling make you feel? Traveling makes me feel complete. It gave me the opportunity to learn things about myself that I did not know existed. It challenged me to step outside of my comfort zone and become open to meet wanderers like myself.…
Meet Andres
@TravelWithPapi Tell us how you got started. I have been travelling since I was young. Thanks to my parents I was able to experience visiting many places. They were the type of parents that never left their kids with a friend or family member when they travelled. So having that early experience was the spark to my travel bug. How does travelling make you feel? Happy!! I love being able to switch my environment whenever I can. It’s refreshing to visit a different part of the world and to get a taste of a different culture. I always come back feeling inspired and stronger when travelling. Where did you receive…
Meet Woni Spotts
@WoniSpotts Tell us how your travels began. I traveled as a small child, but I began recording my travels when I participated in an independent film that had the goal of visiting every country. How does traveling make you feel? I feel like I’m alive. It’s the only thing I get excited about. I’m never disappointed. Where did you receive your first passport stamp? As a child, I don’t remember my early travel or if a passport was required like it is now. My first passport stamp as a teen was in the Caribbean. Other than your passport, what is one thing you cannot travel without? My phone! What…
Meet Courtney Camilla
@WanderfulLAWS Tell us how you got started. I’ve always had a passion for traveling, however my travel increased when I set out on an #EatPrayLoveTravel journey once I lost my grandfather, boyfriend, and my line sister in the matter of 14 months. I needed to rediscover myself, learn to live again in this new normal, and wandering the world helped to heal my soul. As a result, Wanderful L.A.W.S. was born to inspire people to travel & trust the journey. How does traveling make you feel? Traveling sets my soul on fire. It invigorates me and helps me to appreciate & embrace the diverse cultures of the world. One of…
Meet Pete
@FastLaneArzu Tell us how you got started. Inspiration and curiosity got me started. Where did you receive your first passport stamp? Panama Other than your passport, what is the one thing you cannot travel without? I can’t travel without my Credit card. Lol Was there a time something went wrong while traveling? How was it resolved? Brazil, not having our visa… had to reroute and settle for Paris. Great trip though! Any advice to new travelers traveling internationally? Never be scared to visit the locals it’s the best thing to experience ❤️ How does traveling make you feel? The feeling of knowing the truth and others survival skills around the…
