MY WANDER STORY
Hi, I’m Lor, the traveler and storyteller behind My Wander Story.I started this space to document the places I visited, the experiences I had, and the little things I wanted to remember about each trip.
Over time, I realized that travel is about more than choosing a destination or putting together an itinerary. It’s also about making time for the things that matter, deciding where to spend your money, and figuring out how to make the trips you dream about actually happen.
That’s what My Wander Story is about today.
Travel Smart. Experience More.
I believe you don’t have to do everything or spend a lot of money to have a meaningful trip.
Sometimes, it’s about finding a place that fits your budget, planning your days a little better, choosing experiences that matter to you, or knowing when to slow down and enjoy where you are.
It’s also about understanding that travel looks different for everyone. A solo trip, a weekend getaway with friends, and a family vacation all come with different needs, priorities, and challenges.
There’s no single right way to travel. What matters is finding what works for you.
That’s why I want My Wander Story to be a place where you can find practical ideas, honest experiences, and inspiration to help you travel in a way that feels right for you.
What You’ll Find Here
Travel Smart
Practical travel guides, itineraries, planning tips, and ideas to help you make the most of your time and budget. From choosing where to go to deciding what deserves a place in your itinerary, the goal is to help you plan with purpose without overcomplicating the process.
Travel Together
Travel experiences and ideas for trips with family and friends. Traveling with other people can be wonderful, but it also comes with different preferences, budgets, and expectations. I want to share things that can help make those shared experiences a little easier and more enjoyable.
Work & Earn
Travel doesn’t happen in isolation from everyday life. There’s work, bills, responsibilities, and saving up for the next trip. Here, I’ll share my experiences and things I’m learning about working from home, earning, and managing money as part of making travel more possible.
Stories & Resources
You’ll also find personal travel stories, lessons from past trips, and useful resources to help you plan your own adventures. Some stories are about the places I’ve been, while others are about what I’ve learned along the way.
I’m Still Figuring Things Out, Too
Travel has always been something I love, but life doesn’t always leave as much room for it as we’d like.
I spent three years as a full-time mom, stepping away from my career to focus on my daughter. Now, I’m finding my way back to work while figuring out how to balance family, personal goals, and the things I still want to experience.
That journey is part of why I’m approaching My Wander Story differently today.
I’m not here because I have everything figured out. I’m here to share what I’ve experienced, what I’ve learned, the mistakes I’ve made, and the things I’m still discovering.
I hope that by sharing these things, I can help someone else feel a little more prepared, a little less overwhelmed, or a little more confident about taking that next step, whether it’s planning a trip, managing a budget, or exploring ways to make travel fit into everyday life.
Let’s Make Travel More Possible
My Wander Story is a work in progress, just like the rest of life.
I want this to be a place where travel feels more approachable, where you can find ideas that are useful in real life, and where the focus isn’t just on the places we visit but also on the experiences we create along the way.
If you’re looking for practical travel tips, ideas for your next getaway with family or friends, or a little inspiration to get started, I hope you’ll find something here that helps.
Start with the travel guides and itineraries, explore stories from my journeys, or browse the travel resources to help plan your next trip.
Thanks for being here. I’m glad our paths crossed.
KEEP WANDERING
There’s always another story waiting to be told.
Whether you’re planning your next trip, dreaming about somewhere you’ve never been, or simply looking for a reason to wander a little closer to home, I hope you’ll find something here that helps you travel with intention, experience more, and create a story of your own.
