About Us

Who We Are

TravelAwaits began in 2018 to fill a void in the travel industry, focusing on travelers aged 50+. We felt it was important for the travel industry to finally pay attention to these travelers who have the time and hard-earned investments to experience life on their terms.

“We are not our grandparents, or parents, at 60, 70, 80, dare we say 90.” It’s something we often hear from our readers. The only experience not on the agenda is sitting and watching the world go by. Our goal at TravelAwaits is to empower travelers to safely and authentically experience everything from weekend getaways to bucket-list trips.

At TravelAwaits, we spotlight quaint small towns, unique experiences in big cities, delicious restaurants, and fabulous stays. What sets us apart is making destinations accessible to all readers through our writers’ first-hand knowledge and authentic experiences.

TravelAwaits is operated by Savage Ventures, a Nashville, Tennessee venture capital operator. Savage Ventures address: 1402 3rd Ave N Nashville, TN 37208.

During her career, Tay has been published on AP News, Ranker, MSN, and other major publications. But don’t think of her as a travel writer—she’s a traveler and a writer. Travel is her nature; writing is her trade.

Best Of Travel Awards

TravelAwaits’ readers highlight their favorite travel destinations and businesses during our annual Best Of Travel Awards. Readers nominate their favorite small towns, big cities, national parks, resorts, restaurants, and much more, in hopes that they will earn the Best Of Travel crown. Nominations are reviewed by a panel of travel industry experts and writers for accuracy, and then readers vote for the remaining finalists to determine the winners in each category.

Each year, our team is excited to see which towns and businesses make the list: Often, we are introduced to spectacular hidden gems that we were previously unaware of. We look forward to learning your favorites! Nominations open in mid-February, with voting commencing around the first of April. Learn more on our Best Of Travel page.
