This morning, CNN Travel published a story and video about my travels, bucket list and latest adventure: walking on the wings of an airplane. It was such an amazing experience and a strange one for me to... cnn.com/travel/amp/plane-win…
Last fall, I went to Kyrgyzstan to cover the World Nomad Games. I had a vague notion of what to expect upon arrival and I was so wrong. Instead, what I found was so much more and it has... whereandwander.com/what-i-le…
Let the games begin. I’m currently in Kyrgyzstan covering the World Nomad Games. We are hours away from the opening ceremony and everyone is gearing up. I was so lucky to catch these guys getting ready for the... facebook.com/142227692514529…
I’m off to Kyrgyzstan. Everything I have for the next 6 weeks is in this 20L daypack. All the essentials. A change of clothes, 30 rolls of film and all my cassette mixtapes. I did get a nice departing gift from... facebook.com/142227692514529…
Between my sister living in Berlin, brother in New York, me in San Francisco, family in LA, and extended family in Chicago, we somehow managed to align all the cards where for a few hours EVERYONE would somehow... facebook.com/142227692514529…
I would really love to get your feedback on my newest video. For the longest time, I'd travel and then put together a short film that captured that trip. I'd try to find the perfect song, choose the best footage to create something... youtube.com/watch?v=DlbwWo1e…
I had no idea I'd kick off my Mongolian roadtrip this way, but sometimes all you need is $6 and some new friends. I've always wanted to make beautiful travel videos that captured the essence of a place. In a... facebook.com/whereandwander/…
I've traveled quite a bit with some amazing women, who themselves were on a globe trot alone. Some people have this idea that traveling alone can be dangerous, especially as a girl. And in some... whereandwander.com/is-it-saf…
In Cuba, I wanted to capture of real faces of the locals. My goal was to not chase after some idea of what a Cuban portrait was supposed to look like. You know what I'm talking about. The one of some old man... whereandwander.com/the-real-…
BIG TRAVEL TIP: If you should find yourself in Vietnam, it is needless to say, but you must try the food on the street. Find a stool that looks like it's made for children, put your rear end down, and just point... facebook.com/whereandwander/…
Some places are as beautiful in person as they are in pictures. You just have to find that perfect angle. This shot of Hamnoy was taken in the Lofoten Islands of Norway. Truth is, you won't have a hard time... facebook.com/whereandwander/…
Here's the thing. Not every photograph is as it appears. The other day while driving down the Pacific Coast Highway after sunset, I had to pull over to capture at least one shot of the coast with the clouds... facebook.com/whereandwander/…
So sad to hear about Anthony Bourdain’s death. His style and approach to travel storytelling will not be forgotten.
You may not know this about me, but I'm an unapologetic and unabashed fan of Taylor Swift and her music. I've waited 12 years to be able to write this story.

Many years ago, I became obsessed with the idea of a bucket list of really cool things I wanted to do before I died. It started with a very broad one: travel around the world. That soon broke down into 10 things and very quickly became... whereandwander.com/bucketlis…
"I made it back with 8 minutes to spare, so in truth, I could have pretended like none of this happened. But I couldn’t. After a few shameful minutes of having to endure people congratulating me on making the... whereandwander.com/sisu-iron…
Last weekend, I came out to run the first ever Bear Grylls Survival Challenge. I scrambled up gnarly hills, avoided getting shot at, ate some bugs, and started a fire all while being timed and scored. To my... whereandwander.com/bear-gryl…
