Wanna Wander

Wandering the country is my passion and I want to share it with you. Follow my adventures, make sug Hello Everyone and welcome! What could possibly be missing?
(2)

This group is for a wide variety of people but mostly for people who love to travel. Here is where it all started:

One afternoon I was sitting around and still felt like something was missing from my life. I own my home, my business, have great friends and family, stability; The American Dream. Here is where I had my Ah-Ha moment. I wasn't able to do what I love and I wouldn't be able to until it

was time to retire. Being in my 30's that seems like a really long time to feel incomplete. I thought to myself there has got to be another way. After doing a lot of research and following a few different people and groups I realized that I don't have to retire to travel full time. There are tons of people doing it and I am going to be one of them. I also realized that there are a lot of people out there who want to make the move to full time travel but don't know where to start, if they can, what they need to know or the ability to at this point. This page is to uplift people in the same situation. People who want something else but don't know what to do. People who no longer want to conform to what society dictates we should do (work a 9-5 until retired). Heck, it can even be for people who want this life, but just can't do it yet and want to live through other people. I am going to be traveling the country in an RV with my boys, sharing my high's and low's and all of my experiences along the way. Please feel free to follow me at wannawander.com and please post your trials and tributes. Throughout time I will be doing challenges, accepting challenges and asking for your input. If you have a place you want to go but can't, let me know. If you have a place you have traveled and want to recommend it, tell the group. This group is for everyone to learn and feel a sense of family. You are among friends here.

A little fun at Bryce Canyon. Just when I thought it would be impossible to love Bryce more than I already do I see it in the winter and I'm beyond sold.

You just can't help but feel at peace on the drive from Kanab to Richfield. Snow covered mountains, the sun dancing in the shadows, the fields sparkling with frost, the stream flowing along the road giving off a glow of steam and the never ending beauty that is Utah.

It may be chilly, but with a view like this, you truly can't complain. More and more in love with this majestic place.

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow wanderers. What are your plans for the day?

Happy National Hiking Day! Where did you explore today?

Guess who fell in love with not 1 but 2 goats!?!? Yep, that's me. Meet Oreo (the snuggler) and Cocoa Puffs (jealous boy). ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The tree doesn't complain that there isn't any water or soil... It just finds a way 😍

Where am I?

I've been seeing a lot of beautiful fall pictures... And I have to say I've been quite jealous. Where I am, it is currently 15 degrees. Not a typo. Went from summer to winter. So, in light of the situation I have decided to post a summer picture and think warm thoughts. ❤️

First, I want to say I'm sorry. I haven't been near as active and informative to you all as I usually am. Maybe this will help :)

https://wannawander.com/ouch-where-have-you-been-the-ugly-truth/

Ouch was all I could say and what I seem to be saying often. That’s what happens when you are injured right? Especially when you are someone like me and the injury is your knee. For those of you who don’t know me, I’m one of those people who give other people anxiety because I

We are all familiar with the typical shot of The Wave, what most people don't know is the entire area is filled with immense beauty. Beauty for days everywhere you turn. It's not easy to win the lottery or get to The Wave, but it is more than worth it. Also, do yourself a favor and explore the whole area, not just the Microsoft version.

Nice little Saturday. Replaced my propane tank regulator, fixed my door from sticking open, replaced my furnace motor and my Badgers shut out Kent. Rest of the day to let SVU wash over me. This is the life of a full time traveler ❤️❤️👍👌

09/28/2019

WOW!!! It really is everything people make it out to be. So incredibly blessed to have been able to guide a super cute couple out at the Wave ❤️❤️❤️

09/25/2019

Such an amazing opportunity to be able to bring people in to this beautiful slot canyon on a daily basis. I love what I do and the people I get to meet along the way. I feel incredibly blessed to call Southern Utah home ❤️❤️❤️

09/19/2019

Is it possible to not be all smiles or happy when your job involves taking people out to amazing wonders like this?!?! The answer is no... Even after an 8 hour day I am all smiles and charged. ❤️❤️❤️

09/16/2019

It's too bad that pictures just can't show you how magical this place really is. No matter where you are the view is a little different and always amazing. If you haven't been to Yosemite, add it to your bucket list ❤️ ❤️❤️❤️

I just couldn't help myself when I saw this quote. It is so true. I know I'm feeling rich.

How could you possibly have a bad day when this is what you wake up to?!?

I know it's Labor Day weekend, but if you want to read about a must do hike....this is definitely your post 😍😍😍😍

Angel’s Landing is just that. The beauty of this summit is so angelic it is actually fit for an Angel to land. The hike is beyond rewarding and the views are endless. The name actually came from some people passing through who commented “Only an angel could land on top of that.” That was back

If you are ever in Zion don't rob yourself the amazing experience of going through The Narrows. Bring your water shoes and hiking pole and just go. It's soooo worth it.

And this was my second one of the day. Clearly this app is confused, but the mileage is accurate. Another bucket list item gone. Oh, how the Narrows did not disappoint 😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️😍❤️

08/26/2019

Well, that's marked off my bucket list. This app is kinda neat, however, it hasn't really figured out ...sorry you are missing the side of the mountain the hike is on, but enjoy the pics 😉❤️

With my birthday right around the corner I have been finding myself more conscious about things like how I feel, what I look like and my age. I think this happens to all women my age but I could be wrong. I just wanted to share with you all what it's like to be a professional traveler and stay in shape...and remember....round is a shape 😉

Staying in shape is a common topic of discussion no matter what lifestyle you are living. After a little over 2 years of traveling full time, I realize that this lifestyle is no different. Believe it or not, I do get asked how I stay in shape. Honestly, that isn’t a question I thought I

With school back in session, I have started to see a lot of people ready for fall and pumpkin. Yep, it's almost that time of year again and I'm jumping the gun here but you will thank me later 😉

I apologize. I have been slacking on keeping up with my blog and filling you in on these places I have been to. Here is a neat little spot you should check out if you are in southern Utah.

Devil’s Garden seems inaccurately named if you ask me. When I think of the devil I think of fire, a dark, and ugly hell. A place no one in their right mind wants to visit. Devil’s Garden is the opposite of that concept. In fact, it is so far from that concept that there are

Filters aren't needed here. This area is truly breathtaking and I can't wait to explore it more.

I just couldn't believe it so I had to see it for myself. Yes, there is a waterfall in Kanab, UT. It's not much but it is flowing with what little snow or precipitation we have had. I can't wait to see it after Monsoon season 😍 #kanabutah #kanabut #waterfall #butahful #utahisrad #utahgrahm #utahgram #weareutah #nature #hike #seeitforyourself #beautiful #wannawander #happyplace #inmybackyard #blessed

Bridalveil falls was definitely an experience. Not only do you get to see this magnificent waterfall in all of its Glory but you also get to climb around on all of the slick rocks to get as close as possible ❤️❤️❤️ . #bridalveilfalls #waterfall #yosemite #yosemitenationalpark #yosemitefalls #yosemitevalley #wannawander #blessed #california #nationalpark #getoutside #explore #rvlife #traveler

Forest Losee Canyon Sunset

Have you ever been to a place that makes your heart yearn for it in the days, months and years ahead? Well that's how I feel about Southern Utah. You had me at Bryce 🥰🥰🥰 Here's a little Utah sunset for you...and secretly me too. #utah #sunset #forestloseecanyon #utahhasmyheart #brycecanyon #bryce #brycecanyonnationalpark #imissit #reminiscing

Minnesota 2017

Amazon photos created this neat memory video from when I was in Minnesota. You will notice there is a lot of Wanda remodel images, but also some fun. Relive Minnesota 2017 with me. #wannawander #wandaremodel #rvlife #traveler #memories #minnesota

Because I received such an overwhelming interest in yesterday's post I thought I would provide you all with some fun Bryce Canyon National Park Facts. Fun Facts: -Bryce Canyon was named after Ebenezer Bryce in 1874 after the area was settled by Mormon pioneers back in 1850. -Bryce Canyon is reported to cover 35,835 acres which is approximately 56 square miles -It is technically not a canyon because it was formed from erosion from a central stream -HooDoo's are up to 200 feet high -45 species of butterflies and moths have been reported leading to an assumption of over 1,000 different species of insects in all -Yearly temperatures vary from 9 degrees F to 97 degrees F. (WOW) -There are 8 marked and maintained hiking trails located in the park #brycecanyonnp #brycecanyonfacts #wannawander #traveler #hikes #hoodoo #mustvisit

When you decide to work for a coworker on your day to help out you take advantage of not only the overtime, but also mother nature. Great hike to work today. #hike #verdevalley #wannawander #overtime #cateyes

Another fun day at the office. Thank you AnnaLisa for making it a great last day with you!

Such a sad story. The history here left me in tears and deeply saddened. Big Hole Battlefield is one of those places that you must see if you are anywhere near. It's beautiful, serene and you can't describe the wave of emotions that will flood over you. Start in the visitor center and watch the short video. You won't get the true experience without it. #bigholebattlefield #saddening #teepees #tourist #nationalmonument #mustsee

Divide Bridge Campground is such a great boondocking spot! It probably costs $10/night now but we we're lucky enough to roll in just before they started charging. Right on the water! Great hiking trail (watch out for wood ticks). And views for days!!! #dividebridgecampground #boondocking #traveler #viewsfordays #rivercamping

Although I have not really enjoyed staying in Vegas I have been happy with some of the things that outside of Vegas has to offer. #wannawander #rvlife #travel #7magicmountains #sevenmagicmountains #tourist #bright
