Carly Allen

Carly started with Global Traveler in 2010 and, after a hiatus to join the private jet industry, returned to GT in 2016. She has a bachelor’s degree in Organizational Communication and Marketing from San Francisco State University. During her time at university, she got the bug for sales and marketing while working for BMW Group North America, which led nicely into her career at Global Traveler. She has traveled to Asia twice annually to visit partners from Seoul to Singapore since 2010, and annually to Mexico City, Seattle and Denver. Her leisure travels have taken her to the beaches of Hawai’i and Tahiti, along with exploring the wineries of Napa Valley and crabbing in Galveston, Texas. Allen enjoys spending time with her sisters (she is a triplet — all girls!) and family in Los Angeles, reading as many books as possible and attending spin class to help her clear her mind.

What is a Salvaged Stay and How to Plan One

Salvaged stays are an emerging trend in travel that let family travelers enjoy a unique way to experience a destination. Rather than staying in a destination’s big-ticket resort hotel or a cookie-cutter vacation rental, travelers look to the world’s repurposed properties, like abandoned mills and defunct train stations-turned-hotels that have found new life. These renovated properties are a lesson in sustainability and give families a chance to discover a unique view of the history of a destination.
