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.

Islandhopping Vietnam highlights: Historic Hue
Vietnam’s historic Hue (pronounced hu-ay) is located on the banks of the Perfume River and is home to more than 300 temples and pagodas. Thankfully, we did not visit all of them.

Touring Vietnam via junk, kayak, and bike
Last month, Steve and I toured Vietnam for 14 days with Islandhopping.com, a German company that features bike and small boat tours of a number of regions. We loved the tour of the Ionian Islands we took last spring with the same company and were eager to do another. Here are our overall impressions of Vietnam via junk, kayak, and bike. […]
A message to VRBO and Airbnb Hosts
Steve and I are frequent users of VRBO and Airbnb. When we’re staying in one place for more than a couple of days, a short-term rental offers many benefits over a hotel. Generally, we’ve had a super experience. But, there are a few things that I wish all VRBO and Airbnb hosts would understand in terms of our needs as guests. […]
5 reasons to love your next airport visit
A lot of people get down on airports. Yes, they can be stressful if you’re rushing because of a tight connection or your plane has been grounded for maintenance. But once you’re through the rigmarole of security, there’s a lot to appreciate about spending time in an airport. […]
Hometown Feature: The Canadian Museum for Human Rights
The Canadian Museum for Human Rights is the first national museum in Canada located outside the nation’s capital Ottawa. Acclaimed architect Antoine Predock designed the breathtaking building, which since opening this past fall, has taken its place as a defining Winnipeg landmark. […]
Travel lesson learned: Toilets are different abroad
Travel is an enlightening experience, a window to other cultures, and an opportunity to get out of one’s comfort zone. In no other aspect of travel are these sentiments truer than when you need to use the toilet in a foreign land. […]
