Join us on our journey as we explore the world, one adventure at a time!

Hi and welcome to Where the Ws Wander! We’re so glad you’re here.

We’re the W Family: a scientist, an educator, and two adventurous kids who believe that travel is one of the best ways to grow, connect, and learn. Our blog is a space to share our family’s journey as we explore the world together—through road trips, theme parks, international adventures, and everything in between.

Our travel goals?
✔ Visit all 50 U.S. states
✔ Explore Disneyland inside and out
✔ Discover new countries and cultures
✔ Make every trip both fun and meaningful

We’re not just checking places off a list—we travel to learn. Whether it’s exploring ancient ruins, tasting food we can’t pronounce, meeting locals, or seeing science in action, we aim to turn every trip into a learning experience. As a scientist and a teacher, we naturally seek out the “why” behind the “wow”—and we love watching our kids experience the wonder of discovery.

Planning is part of the fun for us. We carefully build itineraries that balance:

  • Budget-friendly travel tips
  • Kid-approved fun
  • Hands-on experiences
  • Family tours
  • And of course… great food!

Where the Ws Wander is our way of giving back—sharing what works (and what doesn’t), providing ready-made travel ideas for families, and hopefully inspiring you to take your next big (or small!) adventure.

Hit the sites early. You never know what you will see. A double rainbow could be in your future.

Our Travel Philosophy: Embracing Adventure and Learning

Traveling as a family is about more than just seeing new places; it’s about embracing adventure and learning together. We believe that every journey offers a chance to grow, whether through hands-on experiences or simply by stepping outside our comfort zone. Our goal is to inspire other families to embark on their own adventures, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

As we continue to explore the world, we invite you to join us on this journey. Together, we can discover the beauty of travel and the joy it brings to our lives. Let’s wander together!
