Hello! Standby: noun, stand·by /ˈstan(d)-ˌbī/; ready or available for immediate action or use. We are Chris and Jessica. If we're not boating around Lake Michigan or hanging out with our unruly Shiba-Inu, Sumi, we're getting lost and traveling somewhere new...most often with little to any notice in advance. We curated standbytheworld for avid and spontaneous travelers (like us!) who enjoy taking impulsive and unannounced trips around the world and may not always have the time to plan a trip attentively. With travel being more of a necessity than luxury these days, and work schedules leaving little time for itinerary planning, our hope is that people may find standbytheworld as a resource for quick and easy trip planning. This blog is meant to serve as a guide for those not only who have available the frill of "standby" travel, but also for those who have a free weekend or weeks for vacation at their disposal and seek sudden adventure, either solo or with a group. This blog offers: Quick guides for city tips depending on the number of days planning to see a place. This includes: places to stay, what not to miss, itinerary examples, food & drink guides and phrases to master before venturing out to unexpected places. Enjoy and please leave feedback and comments! We'd appreciate it so much! Thank you!! View all posts by standbytheworld
