Let me start off by saying that I love planning a trip. Love it. I will even plan trips for others to a limited degree (I don’t want to be held too responsible for your trip). Do you need a discounted airfare? I am the patient searcher, finding the flight I want and then waiting,waiting, [...]
There are a few things about our blog that you may not know, that you may not even care about. But I wanted to share a few things about us and this blog that may make you look at us differently. 1. WanderingWhy makes no money. This is not a blog that creates income for [...]
This is one of my favorite descriptors learned while traveling. We first heard it used in an article we read in Australia. Once we learned what a travel wanker was, we wondered how we had gone so long without a definition for a, well, wanker. A travel wanker is the traveler who has to constantly [...]
A few days ago I read an interesting blog post by another travel blogger about travel regrets. This topic and article got me thinking, did I have any travel regrets? When I talked to Wandering Sean about this, he said “I don’t regret anything about our travels. “ Pause….”Except not putting down roots when we [...]
There are very few places that we have been to that I would return to. Why? The answer is not much more than this: it is a big world and there are a lot of great places out there I have not yet seen. Why would I spend time going to the same place again [...]
If there is anything that you may have learned from this blog, it is that Wandering Sean loves to eat. Really loves to eat. So when Wandering Why found out about Hans Lienesch, a gentleman who rates ramen on his foodie blog TheRamenRater, we had to hear more. Ramen was a staple food for us [...]
When we (okay I, WD) asked to join the TeamBLUE bloggers relay sponsored thru Lowcostholidays.com, I thought what a great way for WS and I to relive some travel moments and try to shorten our list of favorite travel moments down to three. This lead to much discussion, many contented sighs, and finally a list [...]
A question came up in a recent conversation with a friend regarding travel to a familiar destination. She and her husband lived in Italy for three years and loved it there. For the past two years, they have been living in the United States again. Next year is their tenth anniversary, and they want to [...]
When asked about the places we have been, questions always arise about fear. Were you afraid to walk alone there? Were you afraid you were going to be robbed? Were you afraid you would not understand the language? Always, with confidence, I have answered “no”. But there is one fear I do have when traveling, [...]
Since we returned from ‘the big trip’ we have not done any traveling together (WS did not go to Haiti). This is not to say we have not gone anywhere since mid 2009, it just means we have taken vacations instead. How do I define the difference? A vacation to me involves little [...]
