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 …
2022: Year in Review
Although time marches on, (almost) as evenly as always, I feel as if I’m sitting down to write this post sooner each year. If you’re new around here, at the end of every year I like to sit down and reflect on the past twelve months in an exercise of gratitude and growth. Before moving …
Blogging Organically: Five Year Check-In
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 …
A Survey – and a Giveaway!
Update: the results are in! The world looks very different in 2021 than it did when I was last posting regular content here at the beginning of 2020 – as does the concept of blogging. Today I’m releasing a reader survey to better understand what your thoughts are on travel, blogging in general, and what …
Eighteen Months
Eighteen months. That’s how long it’s been since I’ve last logged in to this space – my own space – on the internet. So much has happened in the last year and a half, but in truth, my day-to-day looks about the same as it did the last time I posted here. There were so …
The Start of Something New(sletter) + A Giveaway!
The start of the second half of the year seems like the perfect time to launch something new: the Wayward newsletter! Twice a month (give or take) subscribers will receive a list of the most recent posts, as well as links to interesting articles around the web, personal travel stories, and the occasional sale roundup. …
2018: Year in Review
Wait, but where did this year actually go? Time has a funny way of simultaneously passing at a rapid rate and dragging on forever. Indeed, I had every intention of writing and sharing this post several days ago, but life got in the way and the days simply kept fading. But here we are on …
Blogging Organically: One Year Check-In
Happy 1st Birthday, Wayward! This site went live one year ago, and I still can’t believe how quickly time has flown. Since I did a check-in at the six-month mark, I thought I’d do one now as well. Today I’m going to look back on the past six months, share what I’ve learned, take a …
