Setting Intentions for a New Year: 2024 Edition
3… 2… 1… Happy New Year! Although it was just yesterday that I shared my Year in Review post for 2023, it was also last year. Much like celebrating a birthday, the dawn of a new year isn’t an instantly transformative experience – we’re all still exactly the same people we were yesterday. But as …
2023: Year in Review
Reflecting back on 2023 through the lenses of life, travel, and this blog. This again? I know the “this year went by so fast” schtick probably feels a little tired, but man, it feels like just yesterday that I was reflecting back on 2022. This post contains a few affiliate links – if you decide …
How I’m Approaching Travel Differently in My Thirties

I can’t believe it has been five years since I published my very first post on Wayward. (really, you don’t have to click the link and read it – it’s… not great). Back then I didn’t know what to expect from beginning this adventure. I certainly didn’t have a five-year plan in place to guide …
Setting Intentions for a New Year: 2022 Edition
*pops cork* Happy New Year! If you stayed up to watch the clock turn from yesterday to today, I hope you were able to sleep in a bit this morning. I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling pretty grateful to be alive and well today in this new year. And I’m also thanking my …
2021: Year in Review
I think we can all agree on one thing: it’s been a year. As I reflect on 2021, it’s easy to get lost in the bad. Between the continuation (and mutation) of COVID-19, still-unresolved social justice issues, and disastrous effects of climate change, there is a lot to be frightened and angry about in the …
