The Vacation Wingman
About Me

About Me

Welcome to all!

I am Addison – avid traveler who loves exploring the world. The sights, sounds, and people from around the globe are amazing. I truly enjoy the pursuits of learning and understanding that come with travel. Having said this, I realize that travel is an aspiration goal for many. Therefore, I began writing this website to allow others to more easily share in the benefits of travel.

My goal with this site is to provide resources for those looking to make their vacation dreams a reality. Too many of us have dreams of vacation/travel but don’t know how to take those from dreams to realities. I want to be a wingman of sorts to see those visions fulfilled. 

What is this Website About?

There are many travel blogs out there that provide tips and tricks, how-tos, and vacation inspiration. While some of my posts will likely border on some of these categories, I have a different purpose and primary focus for this website. This website is primarily dedicated to the how-to of traveling (the proverbial “nuts and bolts”). Readily available resources such as sample/suggested itineraries, award chart comparisons, travel benefit comparisons, transportation how-tos, location pros and cons, and other similar resources are my focus.

Several will be quick to note that this information is out there at sites like TripAdvisor, airlines websites, and some guide book publishers. While true, it requires a lot of work to consolidate and sift through the information and reviews. While the itineraries, comparisons, and other posts on this website will never completely replace the need to reference other resources, I want to give you a starting place or an Easy Button for travel prep and planning.

Instilling Confidence to Travel

Too many times I have heard people who do not know how to start. Many believe that they can’t put together a self-directed trip. If you start with that mindset, your vacation dreams never start to become reality. In addition, many get priced out of their travel dreams by booking companies providing assistance.

  • I am writing to tell you that you can put together a self-directed trip.
  • This website compiles the resources to allow you to start and give you confidence.
  • I am here to be a wingman along the journey to your next vacation.
