As 2014 comes to a close, I have been looking back at the amazing places I’ve visited this year. For the first time in years, I haven’t traveled outside the US this year, but I’ve found incredible places to visit right here in the US of A. From East to West, mountains to deserts to oceans, I’ve experienced beautiful places, eaten some fabulous food and met some great people. As I “Wander With Wonder” I always look for those special memory-making moments. This year, I’ve found many opportunities to say “WOW.” Check out this short video to catch a quick look at some of my favorite WOW travel moments from 2014.

Love Tahoe in the fall! In 2015 I want to go back to New Orleans and make a first-time visit to Northern California wine country…both settings for stories I’m working on. 🙂 Happy travels to all who wander!
Northern California wine country is one of my favorite areas. I haven’t been to New Orleans since the mid-1990’s, so I’d love to pay another visit there.
