About Travels with Tam
Travels with Tam is a personal travel blog by Tam, who began writing the site after her husband needed a double lung transplant in 2013. The blog has been active since 2013 and now contains more than 890 posts, with content updated a few times a year. Tam writes first-person travel narratives that span scuba diving, wildlife encounters, luxury and eco travel, senior and women-focused trips, and citizen science experiences. Posts feature many photographs, including underwater and wildlife images, and occasional republished pieces with fresh perspectives as she revisits past journeys.
A warm, candid travel diary that reads like a conversation with a curious, globe-trotting friend. Tam blends long-form trip reports and memoir, from snorkelling with sperm whales to Scottish city adventures, and she wears her passions on her sleeve - scuba, wildlife photography and conservation come through loud and clear. The writing is thoughtful and personal, often reflective about caregiving and loss as part of the travel story. Standout pieces include extended wildlife encounters and health-and-travel essays, and posts are illustrated with many of Tam's own photos, making the site a pleasure to browse for story and image alike.
