Away We Go
Away We Go, by Kayla Ossachuk & Andrew Martel, is dedicated to helping couples who have the means, the money, and the time to travel to get out on the road and create their own travel memories.
Are you overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information out there surrounding travel? Do you dream of seeing the world but can’t figure out where to start? Are you tired of hearing about solo travel and just wish you could hear from REAL couples who travel the world together? In this podcast, we will cover couples’ travel from idea to execution to help you make the leap and book your next (or first) trip abroad.
You will find interviews with fellow travellers, as well as expert advice on what to pack, when to travel, and how to budget, and the good, the bad, and the funny stories that we have from over a decade of travels, leaving you feeling more confident in your decisions and ready to get that next passport stamp. For a more behind the scenes look at some of our travels, make sure to follow us on instagram, @awaywegopodcast.
