Welcome to Wander for Days, where we challenge you to embrace life’s adventures and explore this beautiful, diverse world we live in.
My name is Deanna (half of the Wander for Days team) and as much as I’d love to tuck you inside my suitcase and take you along on each and every trip, I haven’t learned the art of traveling light yet, so you won’t all fit. Instead, spend some time with us on the Wander for Days pages and imagine yourself embarking on adventures near and far.
We want to be your trusted travel companions. Learn more about who we are and the places we’ve been on our About Us page.
What does it mean to wander?
The dictionary definition is to “walk or move in a leisurely, casual, or aimless way.” In this blog, our goal is to inspire, inform and connect you to the world of travel. We’ll share some of our wanderings around this big, beautiful world in the hopes that you will be inspired to embark on your own wandering adventures.
You may choose to wander in your own city, county or state, and that’s wonderful! It’s amazing what you can find in your own backyard if you’re open to experience it. Or, you may choose to wander a path less traveled wherever that may lead.
Dreaming of a European vacation?
Prefer island vibes and serene beaches?
Or is one of your bucket list items to visit all of the 50 states?

Places to Wander
