Window Seat Travel Escapes

“Traveling – it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller.” – Ibn Battuta

The Journey Begins Here

Whether you are looking for travel tips and hacks, hoping to follow along as we travel the world, or needing help with planning your next trip, you are at the right place. We can’t wait to travel with you!

This is how it all started…

I was planning our vacation for our 1 year anniversary/honeymoon and I decided to contact a travel agent for assistance. As I began speaking with the travel agent, I realized my research was more comprehensive, more detailed, and that I was able to find better deals than the travel agent. I began to talk with my wife, Kelsey, about it all and realized that I was passionate about finding the best deal, but also about finding the best trip possible within our budget. I enjoyed the research and found myself watching videos and reading articles well after we had decided on our trip. So my wife and I discussed starting a travel agency or travel blog… but then came the question of what we would call the business.

After much research and discussion, Kelsey suggested Window Seat Travel Escapes. Immediately, I felt it was catchy and unique, but there was one problem. I rarely get the window seat when we travel. She likes to have the window seat so she has a place to rest her head while she sleeps. After much discussion, I decided it was the perfect name for our business, because regardless of whether you are the one traveling and relaxing, or whether you are just looking for a bird’s eye view into our travels, this is the perfect place to find everything you are looking for in regards to travel. So while I like to call myself the “Window Seat Traveler,” that title actually belongs to my wife. However, with this blog, we hope to give you the window seat view of all our travels moving forward.

    Honeymoon/1 Year Anniversary Trip

    When Kelsey and I started talking about our honeymoon and 1 year anniversary trip, we were very budget conscious. We spent more than anticipated on our wedding in Las Vegas (we wouldn’t have traded it for the world – it was the most amazing wedding ever), so we felt we needed to be smart about…
