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.

Being Alone: The Perfect Stay-Behind Weekend
When Steve’s travelling and I stay behind, my weeks go quickly because I’m working, but the weekends can be a challenge. That’s when we usually do couple stuff. This past week Steve was in Amsterdam, and I had a stay-behind weekend to myself. I decided to indulge in being alone. It was terrific. […]

5 Things I noticed in Edinburgh
I knew next to nothing about Edinburgh before we decided to add a week’s stay there following Steve’s business travel in London. All it took was our ten-minute walk from the train station to our Airbnb in the Old Town to fall in love with the city. Here are five things I noticed in Edinburgh. […]
Quick Guide to the Samhuinn Fire Festival in Edinburgh
The Samhuinn Fire Festival in Edinburgh is a re-creation of the ancient Celtic festival that marked the end of a bountiful summer and the beginning of the cold, dark winter. Taking place on October 31 at the top of the city’s dramatic Calton Hill, the festival takes Halloween to its spookiest level. […]
Business travel – is it a perk or a burden?
If you regularly travel for work, does it feel like a grand opportunity to enjoy new experiences or an endless burden of delayed flights, long hours, and generic hotel rooms? Some argue that how you answer likely has to do with your generation – with Gen Xers and millennials inherently embracing business travel much more than their older counterparts. While that might be true to some degree, I think whether you regard business travel as a perk or burden has more to do with other factors. […]
Welcoming fall at the FortWhyte Alive Goose Flight Feast
The air is crisp, the flip-flops are tucked away, and the days are getting shorter. Summer in Canada is slipping behind the leafy groundcover and fall is getting underway. The change of seasons can be a wistful time, but one way to ease into autumn’s embrace is to immerse yourself in the splendor of nature during this time of year. If you live in Winnipeg or are visiting, partaking in a FortWhyte Alive Goose Flight Feast is one of the best ways to welcome fall with open arms. […]
48 Hours in Toronto
When you are visiting a city for a short time, it’s tempting to pack every second with activity, which results in exhaustion. We recently spent 48-hours in Toronto, and although we resisted the urge to “see it all” we still crammed a lot of experiences into one weekend. The secret is to strike a balance between active and more relaxed pursuits so that you can enjoy your surroundings without wearing yourself out. […]
5 Things I Noticed When Travelling
One of the finest pleasures of travel is the immersion in a place and culture that is novel to the visitor. I always travel with an eye out for what is distinct about the destination I am visiting, which spawned my blog post series, “5 things I noticed in …” Some of my observations relate to culture, while others are about practical things that I learned during a trip. It’s a fun game to play as you recline your seat on the flight home. I’ve compiled all of TagAlongTravel’s “5 Things” posts and chose a top “thing” from each one. […]
Review: Cycling Andalucía with Cyclomundo
Our ideal vacation these days usually involves two wheels. There is something especially intimate about seeing a country’s landscape from the seat of a bicycle. We recently took a self-guided cycling tour in the Andalucía region of Spain from Sevilla to Cadíz with Cyclomundo. If you’re considering a cycling holiday, this one offers lush landscapes, captivating towns, and exceptional accommodation. […]
