Welcome to The Wander Journal

Hey there fellow wanderer! I’m Ashley - head wanderer, spontaneous trip-taker, and the slightly overenthusiastic planner behind Wanderlust On A Whim.

My love for travel goes way back to my first adventure: Sea World in San Antonio. (Fun fact: I legit thought we stole the rental car. Oops!) From family road trips and school breaks at Disney to softball weekends across the Midwest and college game days that doubled as town-hopping tours; I’ve been chasing new places and new stories my whole life.

These days, you’ll find me planning SCUBA trips, sister getaways, family travels that turn into core memories, and food-fueled adventures that check off bucket list dreams and stir up that same childlike wonder. Travel doesn’t just light me up, it resets me. I started Wanderlust On A Whim to help you feel that spark, too!

Whether you're dreaming of a luxe escape, a spontaneous solo trip, a family reunion that doesn’t involve group text chaos, or a “get me outta here” weekend - I'm here to make it effortless, meaningful, and totally you.

💫 What you’ll find here:
• Travel tips and tricks that keep things smooth and stress-free
• My own travel stories (the fun, the chaos, the unforgettable)
• Curated travel offers and dreamy destinations
• Custom trip planning to turn your whim into reality

So come wander with me, soak up the stories, and maybe even find your next “YES” moment. After all, memories don’t just happen ~ they’re made. Let’s make yours. ✈️✨
