Wondering why?
Dreams don’t become reality on their own.
It all begins with an dream, so I ask you “Why Not?”.
Sometime during the year 2020, while on a phone call with a dear friend she expressed her interest to visit Glacier National Park in Montana. While her desire to travel glowed through her words at the same time I could feel something deeper. Non-directly expressing everything that goes with a female dreaming of traveling, especially when the dream starts solo. Is it safe? Would I enjoy it solo? I wonder who would go with? The list of thoughts go on. On the HOME page of Women Wandering the World, in my quote I said “There is nowhere I wouldn’t go.” You must know this about me, this is very true. Picking up on her desire to go but shadowed by her hesitation I said “I would love to go with you". Before that moment I had no plans to visit that part of America but within moments I was just as excited as her. A year later in May 2021, we packed up my vehicle and west we headed.
I remember before we departed on that trip I caught myself wondering how many females have shadows (created by whatever) looming over their travel dreams. That thought saddened me. I pondered the way that thought made me feel and I then I had a dream, a vision! I wanted to create an organization and a network for female travelers. For YEARS this dream has traveled with me. So I finally asked myself this week of April 15th, 2024 “Why Not?" Why not create this, this “thing”, to take action on not only my dreams but my passion to help others with their dreams?”
So here is the birth of Women Wandering the World. Not sure what the future holds but I know I will be able to say I turned my dream into reality. And now I want to help other woman turn their dreams into reality. So here we go, wherever.
