About Tyler & Harlee and Matthew & Dru

About Us

Welcome to OurTripsAbroad! We’re Tyler, Harlee, Matthew, and Dru – four passionate explorers who balance our 9-to-5 lives with a deep love for travel. Our mission is to show you that you don’t have to quit your job to explore the world; you just need the right plan and a bit of inspiration. Through this blog, we share how we make travel happen every year, offering you tips and stories to spark your own adventures.

How It All Started

Our travel journey began with a simple trip to Maui, a place that kindled a love for exploration we didn’t know existed. Just three months later, we found ourselves walking the streets of Japan, completely captivated by the adventure. From there, the rest is history! Each destination fuels our desire to see more, and now we’re here to help you make your travel dreams a reality.

Our blog is dedicated to providing you with actionable tips, inspiring stories, and practical advice to make travel accessible for everyone. From weekend getaways to annual overseas trips, we’ve got you covered.
