Welcome to Wellspring Travels: Your Compass for Adventure
It started with a road trip—well, kind of. I was just a kid, clutching my doll Jenny in the backseat as my grandparents drove us to Disney World. I don’t remember every detail, but I do remember the feeling. The hum of the road beneath us. The excitement of a new adventure waiting just beyond the next turn. The magic of the Polynesian Hotel, the joy of a Mickey waffle in the morning. Maybe that was the moment travel got into my bones. Or maybe it was always there, waiting to be unleashed.
That trip was just the beginning. Since then, I’ve traveled far and wide, working on cruise ships, navigating the airline industry, road-tripping across the U.S., and stepping foot in all 50 states. But the more I traveled, the more I realized something: it was never just about getting from Point A to Point B. It was about the journey—how travel stretches us, humbles us, challenges us, and, if we let it, transforms us.
What to Expect from This Blog
Wellspring Travels isn’t just about destinations (though we’ll talk plenty about those). It’s about what travel does to us—the way it makes us pause, reflect, and see the world (and ourselves) with new eyes.
Here, you’ll find:
🌍 Adventure & Inspiration – Whether it’s the thrill of an open road or the quiet wonder of a mountaintop, expect stories that ignite your wanderlust.
✈️ Practical Tips & Planning Guides – Packing lists, road trip itineraries, best travel gear… because a well-planned adventure is a great adventure.
🌄 A Chance to Go Deeper – Because travel isn’t just about where you go, it’s about who you become along the way.
To keep things fresh, I’ll be sharing blogs based on the three core themes of Wellspring Travels:
Explore: Finding awe and wonder in the world around us. This might be an epic road trip, a guide to a hidden gem, or a deep dive into the beauty of a destination.
Engage: Fully immersing in the experience—connecting with locals, savoring new foods, embracing play. Think cultural insights, travel stories, and how to be present on your journey.
Evolve: How travel changes us. Sometimes, it’s in the little moments, like getting lost in a new city and learning to laugh about it. Other times, it’s the big shifts—overcoming fears, seeing life from a new perspective, and stepping out of your comfort zone.
Every week, you’ll find posts that touch on each of these—giving you a blend of adventure, insight, and practical tools to help you on your own journey.
