Hi, I'm Wendy.

I have been traveling since I was eleven years old, when my parents sent me to Mexico on a student exchange program. That trip changed something in me permanently. I came home knowing that the world was bigger than I had imagined, and that I wanted to keep finding out how big.

That was the beginning. Since then, I have lived in Hawaii, built a life in the Colorado mountains, worked as a professional ski instructor at some of the best resorts in the country, spent years in education as a teacher and gifted program coordinator, and eventually found my way to a career in luxury travel. I speak Spanish and Portuguese, have a working knowledge of French, and have traveled extensively across the United States, Mexico, Europe, and beyond.

Paul, my husband and adventure partner, and I are in the middle of a deliberate life reinvention. We left Eagle County, moved to the Four Corners region of Colorado, bought a home that I designed and renovated myself, and have been navigating the beautiful, complicated work of building something new. We are currently selling that home to put down roots in Montrose while holding onto a larger dream: a small place in the Girona region of Spain, a home base in Colorado, and a life that genuinely earns its name: the Best of Both Worlds.

This blog is where I document that process honestly, including the parts that worked, the parts that didn't, and the parts that are still unresolved. It is about traveling with intention, making real decisions, and building a life that actually fits.

I am glad you found this. Pull up a chair.
