TravelTalk (The Blog)

Welcome to TravelTalk! When you think of the word "blog", what's the first word that comes to mind? Well, on this "blog" it's more than just "blogging". I like to take a thorough, deeper look into the tricks of the travel trade. Talking about travel incorporates a lot of inside information that sometimes can be missed on just day to talking and planning. Experiences are sometimes the key factor in making the trip either the best time ever, or the worst. Personally, the first thing I do when browsing for destinations is to see what others have to say about it. These posts are designed to share my personal experiences and the experiences of others to help the traveler like you in their travels.

Thank you for tuning in, and I look forward to seeing you on TravelTalk!

Hidden Lovebirds

By Tyler Edge • March 1, 2026
Most of my life multiple times a year I was unknowingly fueled the passion for adventure and exploration. It was family vacations to historical cities and sights like Boston and Williamsburg, or Gettysburg and Yosemite, and anything else in between. Different theme parks like Cedar Point, Disneyland California, or Six Flags. Zooming up I-95 for a family event for what ever it may be, as a child being the passenger and eventually being of age to drive myself back. So one would think with the passion for travel, writing a blog would be super simple..right? Most of my clearest memories growing up were traveling, wherever the destination may be it was somewhere special to me. But yet, nothing was standing out to me to write about. I didn't want to just write something to write, it had to have some meaning. It's my first official post on my journey on being a travel agent, and on Thursday February 26, 2026...I found it.
