Tyler Tedrow is a professional residing in Winter Park, Florida. While he loves his hometown, he is also a travel enthusiast who seeks out opportunities to explore new places around the world. From long road trips across the United States to backpacking tours through Europe to relaxing beach vacations in the Caribbean, Tyler believes that travel is one of the best ways to spend one’s time.

In Tyler’s eyes, traveling is a one-of-a-kind learning opportunity, no matter where you go. Even if you’re simply taking in the beautiful sights or trying out a local restaurant, you are immersing yourself in a place that you previously knew nothing about (or had only heard about secondhand). There is nothing quite like exploring a new area, especially if it is drastically different than what you are used to. The more places you explore, the more you are able to cultivate a global perspective — informed not just by these places, but by the local people who inhabit them.

As a science and technology enthusiast, Tyler is always interested in learning about top-tier science centers, planetariums, or other types of institutions around the world. He’s also interested in research and academia in general, which has driven him to learn about some of the most iconic historical landmarks, monuments, or museums that the world has to offer. Even still, he knows that one of the most appealing aspects of traveling is the ability to “get away” from normal life and relax, so he seeks out plenty of beaches, parks, or resort areas as well.

Tyler is also a food enthusiast who loves to try new cuisines, making travel an even better experience for him. Cuisine is typically one of the most important parts of any culture; it allows people to understand the culture’s values, ways of life, prominent resources or ingredients, and more. It’s also a great way to keep your travel memories with you long after you have returned home; to this day, Tyler enjoys recreating some regional recipes that he originally learned on trips around the world.

This blog will cover some of Tyler Tedrow’s recommendations for traveling, both in the United States and abroad. He will cover some of the must-see destinations that travelers will never forget, and will also discuss some of the logistics of traveling (planning, budgeting) so that you can be fully prepared and can focus on having fun.
