Born and raised in Southeast Missouri, I always longed for more. The epic sunset, the highest peak, the fastest flowing river, the deepest lake, the longest bike path…the most adventure I could find!

As a very young child, my family took a 30 day road trip across the United States. My dad worked so hard to save money for that trip. He was self-employed, so he gave himself 30 days off work and my love for travel was born. We trekked across 17 states and 2 foreign countries (Mexico/Canada). No cell phone, no Google Map - just us and the open road!

In my twenties, I went on multiple road trips, mostly camping at each location as that’s all I could afford at the time. I have been fortunate for the past 15 years to have a good job with ample time off, and that’s where I have really begun to explore all areas of the United States. WOW! The U.S. is truly beautiful! I have found joy in girls trips, family trips, and solo adventures.

I am extremely organized! I love doing research and I usually feel like I’ve been to a new location before I even arrive. I am taking this passion and passing the benefit down to YOU! I want to create “wander”ful vacations for YOU!
