Since launching Wayward in 2017, I’ve helped over a million readers plan their best trips yet—whether they’re looking for hidden gems, boutique stays, or advice on what to pack. With a dedicated audience of curious, style-conscious travelers, I share recommendations my readers have come to trust (just like getting advice from a close friend!).
And if you’re here? Chances are, you’re a like-minded destination or brand looking for a fresh, authentic way to share your story.
I collaborate with tourism boards, hotels, brands, and local businesses to create compelling, evergreen content that not only tells a story but delivers real results. Whether I’m developing in-depth travel guides, timely social media features, or creative visuals, my goal is to showcase what makes a place or product truly special in a way that resonates.
The sky is the limit—but to make our world a little easier to navigate, here are a few ways we can work together:
Collaboration Opportunities
- Dedicated travel guides
- Seasonal or themed travel features
- FAM trips
- Professional photography licensing for use in marketing
- Boutique hotel reviews
- Sponsored product reviews
- Giveaways
- Seasonal style roundups
- Styling sessions
- Charlotte restaurant and retail openings and events
Not sure where your business fits? Reach out! We’ll design a custom plan to meet your goals.
