About Travel Plus One Life

Hey — I’m Brandon

I'm the guy behind Travel Plus One Life, sharing how I explore the world in a way that feels exciting, approachable, and a little off the beaten path. My wife Erin joins in from time to time, but this is mostly my corner of the internet.

My travels are a mix of cruising often, resort stays done right, and finding destinations that surprise me — the kind of places and experiences that don't always show up on the first page of a search. I love a good plan, but I leave room for the uncharted moments that end up being the most memorable.

My Travel Style

believe the best trips live somewhere between well-planned and unexpected.

You'll find me:

  • Cruising regularly and breaking down what's actually worth knowing

  • Pairing resorts with real destination exploration

  • Sharing honest reviews — the good, the bad, and the overrated

  • Traveling in a way that works with real life (and a real schedule)

  • Working remotely while seeing the world

I'm not about luxury-for-the-sake-of-luxury or rushing from place to place. I'm about travel that feels doable, intentional, and just adventurous enough.

Why We Share It All

Travel should feel exciting, not overwhelming — but with endless options, opinions, and algorithms pushing what's "popular," it's easy to feel stuck or second-guess every decision. I've felt that too.

I started Travel Plus One Life to cut through the noise and share what travel actually looks like in real life. The good, the surprising, and sometimes the things that don't live up to the hype. My goal is to make planning feel clearer and more confident, whether you're choosing a cruise, a resort, or a destination you've never considered before.

By sharing my experiences honestly, I hope to help you discover places and moments that feel personal — the uncharted stops, the unexpected favorites, and the trips that don't feel copied and pasted from everyone else's feed. If something works, I'll tell you. If it doesn't, I'll tell you that too.

Travel doesn't need to be perfect to be meaningful — it just needs to feel like yours.
