Get to know us

Once upon a gate change, we almost named our travel blog WatchMyCat—a cheeky nod to the eternal struggle of finding a pet sitter before takeoff. But after realizing it sounded more like a questionable livestream than a travel site, we landed here… in Seat 34B. Cramped, underwhelming, and undeniably iconic. If you know, you know.

We’re a husband-and-wife duo who’ve been traveling together for over a decade: through flight delays, tray-table picnics, and at least one heart-stopping passport panic at boarding. We still haven’t mastered packing (please don’t open our suitcases), but we proudly pretend a neck pillow counts as a real accessory.

These days, we’re sharing two journeys: the adventures we’ve collected over the years (romantic getaways, city breaks, budget escapes, the works), and our newest adventure, traveling with a baby. From airport blowouts to figuring out how to pack even more stuff into a carry-on, we’re learning as we go and sharing all the honest, helpful, and hilarious bits with you.

This blog is our real-talk guide to traveling smart, spending less, and making unforgettable memories (no trust fund required). Whether you’re a twenty- or thirty-something hunting flight deals, a couple chasing your next getaway, or a family juggling strollers and snack bags, welcome. You’re our people.

Expect hidden gems. Unbeatable adventures. Underrated eats. Hotels that don’t smell weird. Hikes that make you feel alive and slightly out of shape. And a few good laughs, because let’s be honest, sometimes the chaos is the story.

So grab your neck pillow and that sketchy airplane snack. We’re Seat 34B, your guide to going places, even from the middle seat.

See you at the gate,
Megan & Marcos
