    Welcome, I’m Michelle! Writer, Photographer, and Content Creator behind Swoop Away Travels. Believe it or not, I didn’t grow up traveling. If my family took a trip, it was typically to visit family and it was never too far away. However, I’ve always had a desire to travel and that turned into a passion when I met my husband! We took our first trip together after only 4 months of dating. Now I like to explore every chance I get! We’ve been to over 10 states together, taking our time to enjoy every detail. These adventures range from luxurious experiences to nature- seeking, lowkey getaways. Our adventures have an emphasis on not only exploring the area, but taking in as many cultural nuances as we can. So whether you’re like I was and want to start traveling, an avid traveler looking for inspiration and tips, or unable to travel right now, this is a community for you! I’m so glad you’re here!
