THE BAG TAG
WELCOME ABOARD, TAGGIES!
UNPACKING THE
WORLD
OF TRAVEL
We all crave a little adventure, but sometimes life has other plans. Whether you’re stuck in a cubicle, maxed out on PTO, losing it in rush-hour traffic, or tackling those “weekly” chores that somehow take all day, we’re here to bring the world of travel right to you!
From deep dives into the hottest destinations to heated debates over the big questions—like whether it’s ever okay to recline your seat or what really separates a trip from a vacation—we’ve got it all. We cover what’s happening in amusement parks, national parks, landmarks, the skies, the seas, and everywhere in between. Plus, we’re dropping tips, tricks, and ideas for quick escapes — exploring how to enjoy tiny voyages in your everyday life. Throw in some fun stats, a little trivia, and endless travel inspiration, and you’ve got a one-way ticket to wanderlust!

SEGMENTS
-
That chaotic moment when the plane touches down, and the cabin erupts into a frenzy — everyone's scrambling to unbuckle, grab their stuff, and time their escape perfectly so they don’t miss their chance to squeeze into the aisle.
You’re in that rush, heart racing, and you reach into the seat pocket to grab your belongings—but it’s a bit of a gamble. Your hand brushes against something: maybe it’s your book or your headphones, but there’s also that unsettling possibility of finding a stale pretzel or someone’s crumpled, used napkin lurking in the depths. It’s a grab bag of mild disgust and necessity.
Each week a new, unexpected discussion topic is found around travel that makes for a fun debate.
-
How well do you really know cities around the world?
All you’ll have to go on is a Bag Tag code and five Dr. Seuss-like riddles. Each clue will reveal a little more about the mystery destination—but can you guess the city before we do? From iconic landmarks to hidden gems, this game will have you racing to connect the dots, flex your geography skills, and outsmart us! Like “Are you smarter than a 5th grader” but maybe more like 6th grade!
Spin the globe and off we go!

The world is big but we shrink it down (you’re welcome).
Breaking down any and all travel news stories that you’ve gotta know with the high-level overviews and takeaways so you can best be prepared for your next trip or travel discussion.
-
Every year there tends to be a few places everyone seems to go, and we breakdown why!
We do deep-dives into the history and top things to do in cities and countries around the world!
-
Believe it or not, we like to travel!
We mix in some of our personal travel experiences - breaking down our full itineraries, planning strategies and struggles, and of course everyone’s favorite: what to pack!
And when we get back….we unpack the trip with our souvos and takeaways.
-
Unfortunately, we can’t fly off somewhere exotic every week (wallow) but that doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy the beauty of travel.
This is where we highlight the fun things we’ve discovered for the week. New food, culture, music, sports, activities in our hometown or a neighboring city!
-
The battle of the skies is often won on the 50th floor of some Manhattan office filled with stale, cold coffee and gray, stiff carpet.
From the Hawaiian-Alaska Merger that saved the best-branded airline from folding, to the TWA-American Merger that is argued as one of the biggest failures, we sift through the baggage to explain how and why some airlines were meant to be together from the start!
-
When did overwater bungalows become a thing and why is everyone so obsessed? Chantel…Chantel is obsessed!
Did you know Kona Brewing is two separate companies? Like they brew the same beer with the same name but two completely different companies — the beer in Hawaii is different than the beer in the other 49 states!
What happened to our beloved Sky Mall? How we lost the best piece of in-flight entertainment the airline industry has ever seen!
While we have our more consistent segments, there is so much out there that we naturally had to have an “and more” so we could talk about it!
Like we enjoy getting festive - we’ll do a draft of the spookiest Halloween destinations!
Who are you people?
Oh yeah, probably good to know who’s behind The Bag Tag. We’re a Fortune 500 company with over 8,000 employees….
Nah, we’re just a lil old married couple who needed something to do after we said “I do”
Things we love:

Co-FounderHey there, I’m Chantel! Co-Founder of The Bag Tag, wife to Wyatt, and mother to Henry (pug) & Freddie (black cat).
When did my love for travel start? That’s a great question… My mom used to drive me around in the car as a baby to get me to fall asleep and, ever since then, I can instantly fall asleep in the car or on a plane. So I’d say it’s not necessarily the act of travel that I enjoy but getting to see new places, and eat their food. I love food.
Other things I love:
All my boys, duh
Reading - put a romantasy or dark academia book in my hands and you won’t hear from me for days
Horror movies - not haunted houses, because I only like to feel scared in the safety of my own home
The cheesiest action movies you can think of, literally, Olympus Has Fallen is my guilty pleasure
Cooking - while I’m a foodie, I’m also an amateur chef and pride myself on making good, homecooked meals
All things glam - makeup, nails, hair, I just love being fabulous
The beach - I was born & raised in California then lived in Hawaii for 10 years, what do you expect?
I think my dream life would be living in a beach house or on a vineyard with like 3 pugs and spending at least one week every month in a new place.

Co-Founder[sits down, netflix interview syle] “Is this thing on. Should I look at that camera or this one”
Hey, I’m Wyatt - the cofounder of this lil adventure.
Mhmm..about me- I was (and am sometimes still) afraid of flying. I need the window seat. I get really into decorating for the holidays. I’ve been dabbling in video games with PS5 and Switch. My family runs an ice cream shop - Licks Unlimited. I love Mountain Dew and coffee, who needs sleep, am I right?!
Feel like everyone does, but I enjoy movies and shows. Here are my thoughts:
Marvel - Good!
They don’t make comedies like they used to
White Lotus - met Mike White on Mount Etna when they scouted season 2
Play Fantasy Survivor
Apple & HBO are top tier, Netflix gives us slop that I can’t stop consuming, yet I don’t want to stop
Big sports fan!
Patriots (queue eyeroll, we stink now anyways so back off)
Vikings
Wild
Twins
Wolves
College Sports - UMN Gophers, UW Huskies, UH Rainbow Warriors
Can I be 100% honest with y’all? I dream of spending my life in a different city every week — smacking on new foods, strolling down different streets, learning new ideas from different cultures.
I’m tryna break out of that 9-5
