Hi, we’re Tyrell & Flor.
Together we created Green Carry-on!
We are a young couple excited to see and experience the world around us. Close to home and far from home, we hope to share our adventures with you and hope to inspire you to travel and create adventures of your own.
Tyrell who?
I was born and raised in Tennessee. Growing up I was always hiking and exploring the outdoors. I judge restaurants by how good their Rueben sandwiches are and can’t wait to explore the world. Lol.
Flor who?
Desert born and raised, now thriving in green Tennessee. I work from home and love to binge-watch long series. I love to cook and try new foods — foods of the world, here I come!
Together:
Our marriage adventure began in the summer of 2015. We can be very outdoorsy but also love spending time at home. Together we can go from hiking and finding new restaurants to staying in for the night, eating ramen, and watching TV. We adopted our pets: Yrsa in 2019, Hati in 2021, and Loki in 2022 – can you spot the theme?
Why Green Carry-on?
Well, it’s not just a catchy name; we’ve committed to traveling light with only our green carry-on and backpacks. Simple, right?. Plus, we think it sounds pretty cool. What do you think?
Why Travel?
Millennials are known for their love of travel, and we’re no exception. While family visits to Las Vegas and Northern Mexico fill our vacation days, we’ve always dreamt of exploring our home country and beyond.
In 2016, we stumbled upon a survey revealing the biggest regret of those 65 and up: not traveling enough. The words of researcher Karl Pillemer hit home – “When your traveling days are over, you will wish you had taken one more trip.” So, why wait for retirement? Life is unpredictable, and we’re seizing the moment, planning our adventures away…
