About Me – Wanderlust Wendy
Countries
So far, I have traveled to 50 countries or territories and all 7 continents. My travels include North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, and Antarctica. Visited countries and islands are throughout Central America, Eastern and Western Europe, and a nice sampling of islands in the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas, the Central and South Pacific Oceans, and Indian Ocean. In addition, traveling as a grownup, I have also visited and a good chunk of the states in the United States.
My travel adventures have spanned the decades and as such my experiences capture the different types of travel that tempt us in different life stages.
Travel Time
Most of these trips were planned within a vacation allowance of two weeks or less off of work. A few times I have had the luxury of working remote or being between jobs. Fortunately, this allowed me to take a little longer than the usual one or two week travel itinerary.
Travel Budget
All of the trips balanced budget needs with my preference for luxury. For instance, those over water bungalows in French Polynesia look amazing. Yet, I was not willing to spend a mortgage payment per night I stayed on the islands. Still, I traveled to French Polynesia. Once there I combined vacation time, weekends and working remotely for 45 days of island life. Amazingly, exploring the islands of Bora Bora, Moorea, and Tahiti at a reasonable cost.
Travel Companions
Traveling solo when I was young and when I was not, allowed me to experience all the joy and benefits taking that leap provides. Traveling with my husband, teenagers, friends, siblings, and then with my sibling’s families, I was fortunate to explore places as a compromise. Although they may not always have been on my travel bucket list at the time, they are now among my favorite travel destinations.
