Who We Are
Welcome to CheckinAway, your go-to travel blog for authentic experiences and expert travel insights. We’re Paul and Hristina, London based, travel-loving couple who have explored over 40 countries, seeking out the best cultural experiences, hidden gems, and upscale stays across the globe.
With a passion for travel and storytelling, we created this space to share our firsthand experiences and inspire fellow travellers.
We have been travelling together since 2010 and would like to share our experiences and travel tips with you. We are 4 seasons active and enjoy long beach holidays, winter and skiing trips, weekend breaks in Europe and biking in the UK.
Our Travel Style
We love exploring the world through a mix of luxury stays, cultural experiences, and hidden gems. Whether it’s discovering boutique hotels, uncovering non-touristy things to do, or curating the perfect travel itinerary, our goal is to help you travel smarter and better.
Find out more about our journey in the below timeline of events:
Moved to London
The big city was calling and so we decided to move to London making our dreams come true to live in a city with 5 airports. Perfect for our spontaneous trips!
Got Engaged in Prague
After sharing our passions together for 5 years we realised that it’s time to make it official.
Civil Ceremony in London
We decided to make our civil ceremony in London almost making a somewhat of a destination wedding for our guests.
Mini-Moon in Florence
We always celebrate life with every occasion and this is exactly one of those times. Rather than settling for one honeymoon we decided to treat ourselves to two.
Got Married in Bucharest
Following our civil ceremony in London it was time to spread the happiness with the rest of our families from Romania and Bulgaria.
Honeymoon in Punta Cana
Our honeymoon was a great opportunity to experience our first long haul exotic destination. Palm trees, white sands and blue waters were awaiting us.
Checkinaway.com is Born
