Interviews and Travel inspiration from Some of my Favorite Travel Bloggers
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…
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 Queenie
@FlyWithQueenie Tell us how you got started. I got started with traveling at a young age because my family is Jamaican, so I would go back and fourth. I also lived there, so that’s what initially sparked my traveling interest. How does traveling make you feel? Traveling makes me feel happiness, and at peace. I feel like I’m on cloud nine from the moment I’m on the way to the airport, to the moment I leave. It’s the best feeling ever! Where did you receive your first passport stamp? My first passport stamp was to Jamaica. BLAAAAAP BLAAAAAAAAAAAP! (sorry im extra lmao) Was there a time something went wrong while…
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…

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…
