a travel and style blog
I admit I still feel a bit rusty at running this blog again. (Not that I was necessarily an expert at it before, but still). I feel like I’m still navigating what Wayward looks like in 2021, and with the world the way it is (i.e., the days are still pretty slow around here), I …
Charlotte isn’t on anyone’s radar as an international city, but we are so fortunate to have people from all over the world in our community. And if you know where to look, you can find businesses from regions all over the globe. Quite a few of the area’s Latinx businesses were represented at last weekend’s …
Instagram going down this week was reassurance enough that I should have this space to call my own, but I’m glad to say I didn’t feel the impact too strongly. I missed connecting with friends who I’d just gotten back in contact with, and I missed using it as a tool to find out what …
Happy October! We’re still a few weeks away from peak fall foliage, but there are signs of autumn’s arrival everywhere. Apple farms are open for picking, boots and wool capes abound, and there’s something distinctly different in the air (is that cinnamon?). Last year Michael and I did All The Fall Things and I think …
Hey, hi, hello! I’m so glad you’re still here (and if we’re being honest, I’m so glad I’m still here too!). The weather is just incredibly beautiful for this first week of fall, and I’m feeling extra happy we decided to move to Charlotte. Right now my days allow for meandering walks, and I love …
Have you seen today’s Google Doodle? Today marks the 60th anniversary of the Greensboro Sit-in that took place at the Woolworth’s Department Store (above) in Greensboro, North Carolina – which we had the chance to visit last weekend. I’ll share more about our visit to the site, now the International Civil Rights Museum, in an …
Happy… Wednesday? Sure, why not. It’s been a kind of weird, gloomy week here in Charlotte – weirder still because it immediately followed a beautiful, 70°F Sunday that we’re told is highly unusual in January. I’ve been trying to take it easy as much as possible to get ready for our trip to Baltimore this …
Happy New Year! 2020 is off to a… weird start, but that just kind of feels like a continuation of the past few months. Thankfully it seems like things are starting to look up: I pick up my car from the shop tomorrow, I’m finally starting to feel some improvement and relief in the herniated …
Oh, hey! I promise I haven’t forgotten about this space—or you. It’s been a busy few weeks moving up here and getting acquainted with our new city, and it hasn’t necessarily been an easy or smooth transition. I was rear-ended a few days after we moved, and managed to throw out my back and catch …
It’s happening. I know I’ve been saying this for a while now, but I feel like now I can officially say that we’re moving since we signed a lease this week for a place in Charlotte. Despite not working at the moment, my day-to-day feels busier than ever: packing, making phone calls, rehoming things we …
