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.

3 tips for enjoying winter city travel
Other than ski holidays, people don’t generally seek out cold weather spots for vacation. But business travel can take you anywhere regardless of the time of year or temperature. So, if you’re heading to a winter city, take it from a Winnipeg gal who knows—to enjoy it, you’ve got to embrace it. Here’s how. […]
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. […]

What it takes to date a female business traveller
Every relationship with a frequent business traveller is different. If you’re in your 20s there are likely different issues than in your 40s. 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. […]
Tag-Along Trip to Seattle (via Redmond)
I’ve enjoyed visiting Seattle a few times. Most recently, I decided to tag along on Steve’s weekend business trip to Redmond, which is a suburb city about 26 kilometres outside Seattle. One of the things I like about being a tag along traveller is that you get to explore places you wouldn’t normally set out to visit. […]
