Welcome to A World Away! We’re creating a space to share our destination adventures with the hopes of inspiring you to realize your destination travel dreams! Follow along as we travel, explore places old and new, and introduce you to some amazing destinations and Partners. We’re excited in the coming weeks to give you a peek into where we’ve been in the last few years, along with tips and interviews.
Two new directories, focused on Adventure Travel and Destination Weddings, are launching in Fall 2023 to help you connect to the companies and products that will get you moving towards your adventure dreams. More details to come in our next post, so be sure to keep an eye on our Travel Journal.
“Who the heck are you anyway?”
Good question...glad you asked! Let us introduce ourselves:
We are a Canadian/American couple...Rob and Tammy. Rob is the Canadian. From Vancouver, British Columbia originally, he was raised in Toronto and previously lived in the US for 10 years. Tammy is the American, born in Colorado, raised a military brat and has lived all over, including Hawai'i, Okinawa, Ireland and Belgium. We met in 1999 when we were both living in Hawai'i and became lifelong friends. We eventually elevated that relationship (after 20 years) and have built a life together in Vancouver and travel the world whenever possible. We have traveled to over 40 countries combined and have no plans of slowing down. A bit more about each of us...
Hi - I’m Rob... a visual effects artist in the film industry. I started my career back in the late 90’s and have worked on films and shows such as Bullet Train, Star Wars, The Last of Us, and Stranger Things, just to name a few. When I’m not creating movie magic, you’ll find me on a motorcycle adventure in the jungles and beaches of Central America, on a leisurely Sunday ride to Squamish or Whistler in British Columbia, or enjoying rooftop wine and bbq’s with Tammy and our friends.
And I’m Tammy... a marketing and events director in the tech industry. I’ve worked for companies such as Microsoft, Salesforce, and Snyk, producing global tech conferences and building marketing teams in the startup space. I’ve traveled extensively for work and take every opportunity to explore new cities. Before tech, I owned and operated a destination wedding company in Hawai'i. When I’m not creating event magic, I love to cook and experiment with new chocolate creations and travel. I’ve ridden motorcycles (as a passenger) nearly my entire life and am often on the back of Rob’s Ducati. This year I’m jumping into the driver’s seat!
We share a passion for travel and adventure and are excited to share our experiences through our site. We’ve learned so much along the way and thought how cool would it be to share our adventures and help others find the magic we have...all while building a global community?
When we are not at home in Vancouver, you’ll find us in Hawai'i, Central America or Europe,
usually on a moto journey. The world is our playground, but there’s still no place like home! If you’ve not been to British Columbia, we encourage you to plan a trip and experience the magic where the sea and mountains meet. Keep an eye on our journal for some British Columbia highlights very soon.
We look forward to growing our website and community. Thank You for being here! If ever you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’d love to help along your journey to create travel dreams of your own.
Warm Wishes and Happy Adventures,
Rob & Tammy
