Explore More for Less: Introducing The Away Trip

Last Updated on July 15, 2023 by Tyler

Hello, my name is Tyler, the owner of the website The Away Trip. I’m currently 23 years old. I love traveling and photography with a passion. Throughout my whole life, I have always wanted to see the world and see every single country in the entire world.

Growing up as a kid my family did some small trips. The greatest family trip we ever had was being in Hawaii for a month because my father was in the military. He did his military assignment on the side while also making time for the family as well throughout the time there. The fact he was able to work and then come back to his family was so fascinating to me.

We went to Disneyland once when I was 10 years old because my mom got lucky with the lottery and won a couple of thousand dollars then she used her winnings on a nice family vacation.

That was the sweetest thing she could’ve done. I still remember that trip well to this day. I have so many fond memories of that trip and other trips we’ve been on.

Besides those two main family trips we went on, those are the only family vacations we flew out to and stayed in a hotel all together as a family. As I got older as a teen my dad retired from the military then money got tight then which restricted us from traveling more than we wanted. Yes, we did do other activities as a family, we did small state road trips to see family.

Money was tight until my father started to receive income from the VA. After that, we did do some out-of-state road trips a few times, but nothing crazy as we always talked about road-tripping around the US and renting an RV, but I am so grateful for those small trips and driving to the next state to us trips. They carry a lot of excellent memories that are life-lasting, but it took me to turn 18 to be able to travel a lot more frequently.

As I write this, I just came back from a trip from New York City and have recently been to Orlando, Disney World, Miami, and Key West, all around the same time. These aren’t the most exotic attractions around the world, but these destinations all have their charm.

Being a photographer and videographer makes these treks so much more exciting in my opinion, yes the camera equipment can be a pain to carry around sometimes especially when I’m traveling with my clothes, but I found a system to everything I do when I travel.

I’m still learning every single day! I will become the best version of myself one day but for now, I’m still gaining skills. With the skills I currently have I believe I can make your life easier and show you the secrets to traveling easier.

Being a photographer and videographer I can show my future audience how to take excellent photos and videos while they travel.

It’s important to have the best pictures and videos you can take of a certain location because if they don’t turn out good when you get back home it’s going to cost a lot of money to go back to that certain location to retake the pictures or videos.

Not to mention how the weather conditions might not be as close as the first time. It is also important to be able to get good quality pictures and videos the first time you get to your destination.

That’s why I am here to show you the skills I learned being a student of photography, also using the skills I’ve gained from freelancing, photo contests, photography classes, and partnering with other creators.

I will bring the best out of you after reading my posts. This website has come a long way from the vision I first imagined. I am so excited to create travel and photography content. Traveling and photography are my main hobbies. I’m excited to share my skills on this website.

That feeling that traveling makes you feel when you’re finally at your destination after long hours of planning, packing, flying, driving or however you get to the final destination.

Just the hours of hard work finally paying off. There’s an enormous amount of stress that comes along with planning a trip. Why does it have to be so stressful just to spend a small amount of time in our busy lives to escape reality to feel better about ourselves?

Traveling doesn’t need to be this stressful at all, but it’s often people who explain their stories and how going on a fun vacation became a nightmare because of the planning, the way of travel, and all the companies people have to go through just to plan a trip.

My goal on this website is to post the best travel advice I can offer to others. I want to help others be able to enjoy the time of their life and teach people how to deal with these travel companies and airlines.

To effective packing methods, packing lighter, traveling on a budget, most important objects to pack. There’s just an endless amount of advice I always hear people needing help with and that’s going to be my job on this website to give the best advice and show others how to have less stress when traveling.

I’m not going to sit here and lie and preach about how I’m the greatest travel expert in the world “yet”, Still working on that goal everyday, but in all seriousness, I’m working everyday still learning by consuming books, reading other fantastic travel blogs and websites.

I believe there are still unanswered travel questions and advice people need to hear to be able to have a more enjoyable experience.

After talking to many people about their experiences and their wishes when it came to travel, the people I’ve met who some have their own travel blogs too, the advice I picked up from them and made notes of, My elders advice and honestly the biggest learning method I used to gain so much experience is straight up reading books and most importantly: the internet. Without these main factors, it would’ve had a harder time gaining the information that I know now.

I’m so thankful for where I’m at in life, being able to travel more often and really living my life. I want to share with my viewers how to feel joy in traveling and being able to travel more often.

The portfolio page on this website will provide all the photos taken while I was on my away trips. The page will be updated often as well. New pictures are being taken often, so there will be new pictures posted on this side of the website.
