“NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST”
ABOUT THE OWNER.
Shay Watson, CEO and Founder of TTD. She has three words she often live by…
SAVE.TRAVEL.REPEAT.
Shay did not realize how often she truly traveled until her love for the world started to reach others. Now that she really think about it, traveling runs through her bloodline. At such a young age, she saw extraordinary places as early as four years old!
But once she started college, it sort of ceased. She obtained my Bachelor’s of Science from Bowling State University where she studied Gerontology. After graduating, the 9-5s did not seem to align with what she felt was destined to do. She began to immerse myself in the travel world again. She started taking advantage of every second of my PTO and sick days at my day job. She went on an adventure as often as she could, maximizing my happiness and work-life balance. That’s when she started putting my happiness first.
Shay was missing those long road trips across the county with my family, and those dreamy plane rides. At that moment, she paused.
She stop living for weekends, and start doing what she love everyday.
Today Shay is happy to say that she is no longer living for the weekends but rather living for the next trip. The Travel Diaries was created to be a space were individuals who would like to take the necessary steps to travel can break free and experience the extraordinary world with me.
No need to wait years for an indecisive friend to take those bucket list trips with. We have plenty where that came from.
Her wish is for more people of color, especially millennials to venture out to see the world, and allow the world to see us. We too, exist outside of our 4 walls.
