About Wanderer at Heart

Visiting the Kensington Palace Gardens in London, England

 

“I’m not sure what I’ll do, but— well, I want to go places and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale.”

-F. Scott Fitzgerald-

Welcome to Wanderer at Heart. My name's Shelby, by the way. Thanks for stopping by! 

I've always had a desire for travel - I want to see the world, I want to live life on a grand scale, I want to see and experience how others live their lives. 

When I was younger, I watched the Travel Channel religiously, furiously writing down notes of Samantha Brown's travels. Should I ever visit Florida, North Carolina or wherever she happened to be that day, I would know exactly where to go, when the time came.

I always looked forward to family vacations, whether it was a simple trip to Disneyland or South Dakota. I would look up travel guides or maps, doing my research to make sure we saw all of the best spots. Little by little, each day, I would pack my bags and have everything set and ready to go. 

That bug for travel hasn't gone away. Whether it's a day trip to somewhere in Southern California or a week-long vacation, I'm always looking for new sites, sounds and eats to absorb while I'm away. While I haven't been to even half of all the places I've wanted to visit just yet, I'm always seeking a new adventure. 

This is a space devoted to travel and adventure - Where to stay, where to go, what to see, and, of course, what to eat. 

Come along for the journey and share favorites of your own.
