Welcome to Tag Along Travel
Hi there! I’m Deborah and my spouse travels for work a lot. Sometimes I tag along, which is fab because who doesn’t love to travel? But it’s not always a passport to fun. When I’m grounded at home and he’s away, it can feel like a long layover after the airport bar closes. Join me to find out how to make business travel and marriage work. I recap my favourite travel destinations and adventures while trying to sort out how to enjoy the journey, whether tagging along or not.

David Nicholls’ novel “US” inspires travel despite backdrop of family angst
One of the things that keeps me busy when Steve’s away on business is my book club. I’ve read so many great books I wouldn’t have without it. Our latest read, “Us” by David Nicholls is definitely my favourite so far this year. It mixes a tour of Europe with family angst and a huge dose of humour. It’s a book every traveller (and member of a family) can relate to. […]
Unforgettable Faroe Islands
In 2011, we planned a multi-city trip to Europe with a first stop in Iceland. Our savvy travel planner suggested we add The Faroe Islands to our itinerary. Located in the North Atlantic between Iceland and Denmark, it was the perfect pit stop via overnight ferry. After Iceland’s spectacular out-of-this-world landscape, I didn’t think anything else could compare. But The Faroes turned out to be equally stunning. […]
The best, worst, and strangest moments of our 2015 travels

If you have kids, a regular stint of single parenting is taxing and being separated from the little ones feels like you’re missing out. I never gave much thought to specific challenges of the single female business traveller until I discovered Jaclyn Goldman’s blog, The Travelling Saleswoman. […]
Private members clubs: A good idea for business travellers?
Most frequent business travellers madly squirrel away loyalty points to gain benefits while on the road. But some of those in the corporate game find their advantage by becoming a member of their local private members club. You may think these private clubs are an option solely for the wealthy elite, but while membership doesn’t come cheap, if you do a lot of independent business travel, belonging might just be worth your while.
