Checkinaway.com is Born

We were eager to share our love for travel despite being confined to our homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. So, we came up with an idea to create an authentic journal-style blog, where we could not only reminisce about our past adventures but also share our insights and lessons learned along the way. We hope that we can inspire others to dream about future travels and discover new perspectives on the world around us.

March, 2020

As avid travelers, we understand the allure of exploring far-off lands and escaping the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. That’s why we chose the name of our website – to evoke the excitement of checking in at a destination far from home.

With the world becoming increasingly globalized and international air travel more accessible than ever, we want to inspire you to embark on your own adventures and experience the magic of new cultures and landscapes.

So, come along with us on this journey as we share our travel tales past and present, and stay tuned for the exciting adventures that await us in the future. We can’t wait to have you join us!
