You guys. When on earth was the last time I wandered on a Wednesday with y’all? I can’t even tell you. (I mean, I could just look it up on YouTube — it’s right there — but that’d defeat the purpose of such a hyperbolic statement.) A lot has transpired since I last wandered on […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #18: Great Smoky Mountain RailroadIT’S BACK. After what feels like years away, the tradition of Wandering Wednesday returns. A chance for me to dip back into the blissful well of #RunningTo and, well, go wandering again. In this week’s wandering, I trek to DuPont State Forest in western North Carolina and explore the waterfalls running rampant there. I […]
Read More The Return of Wandering Wednesday: DuPont ForestGosh, I’ve missed wandering with y’all. But guess what?? IT’S WANDERING WEDNESDAY TODAY. ALL. DAY. I’m going to try and make my video wanderings a more regular routine again. Hold me accountable, guys! I’ve honestly missed the intentionality of wandering to new places, and I’ve missed communicating with y’all beyond merely digitized words. Today’s wandering […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #16 – Newport Beach, CAToday is a great day. I don’t care if I get stuck in Los Angeles traffic for hours or lose my favorite watch. (Oh wait, that second thing already happened.) Today is WANDERING WEDNESDAY. At long last. But it’s not just “another” Wandering Wednesday. It’s quite possibly my most pivotal Wandering Wednesday adventure yet. First […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #15: Fullerton, CAI KNOW, I KNOW, I need to recap my return to the Exodus Conference from this past weekend. It’s coming, I promise. The conference was amazing, and I’m still unpacking so much from the experience. You can check back Monday for the first in a series of Exodus blog posts. In the meantime, I wanted […]
Read More (Non) Wandering WednesdayFELLOW WANDERERS: This particular kind of video adventure has been a long time coming. For a while, I kinda lost the “spirit” of Wandering Wednesday. Back when this creative concept was instated in 2011, I envisioned many spontaneous drives to the coast, mountains, city, and desert alike. Seeing new sights and hearing new sounds, adding […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #14 – Bolsa Chica, CAEvery now and then, I tend to wander. It’s kind of my thing. And sometimes I tote a camcorder along for the ride. It’s also kind of my thing. Recently, I wandered to Palm Springs, California — a resort town in the middle of southern California’s hot dusty desert. I’d been to Palm Springs once […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #13 – Palm Springs, CAUm. So. I haven’t wandered with y’all in a while. Like really wandered. Like in a while. Not since Malibu last May. Gosh, I’ve definitely missed doing these videos! I recently returned to my roots — well, my most recently sprouted roots — and wandered about my home of the last 2 years. Wonderful Whittier. From […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #12 – Whittier, CAI recently went wine testing tasting in Malibu. I know, FANCY. Was the first time I’d ever done such a thing, and thus, my next Wandering Wednesday was formed. Check it out below. This’ll close the book on my spring wanderings from California! Heading across the country now, where I’m sure I’ve got plenty more […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #11 – Malibu, CAAnd finally, the epic road trip comes to an end. …even though it actually concluded way back in February. But just pretend like I’m smelling that sweet Seattle sea air through your screen RIGHT NOW. Ahhhhhhh. This is actually a pretty cool WW. After months of desperately wanting to see this mystical city on the […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #10 Part Two – Seattle, WA (By Day)It’s all been leading up to this. Forget the adorable sea lions of San Fran, or Paul Bunyan and his Ox Babe Blue The in NorCal. THIS IS IT. SEATTLE. Seattle was so epic I had to break my visit there into two Wandering Wednesday videos: the first by night, and the second by day. […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #10 Part One- Seattle, WA (By Night)There are certain things that intrinsically define a city. For Philadelphia, it’s the cheesesteak. For the entire South, it’s a giant pitcher of sweet tea and fried WHATEVER YOU WANT. And for Portland, Oregon, apparently it is doughnuts. Lots and lots of doughnuts. But not just any doughnuts, mind you. Magical ones that come in […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #9 – Portland, ORLast month, me and a sister and some other person decided to drive from Los Angeles to Seattle. Yes, that’s a bit of a drive. Thankfully there was plenty to occupy our vision along the way — unlike my drive through Alabama and Mississippi when I moved to the West a couple years ago. VISION […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #8 – Redwood Forests, CAI drove to Seattle last week. You might have heard. Or maybe not if you’ve purposely tuned me out. In which case, BLAH BLAH BLAH THE HUNGER GAMES IS ONLY AVERAGE BLAH BLAH BLAH. Along the entire Pacific coast I stopped at various critical junctures. And over the next several weeks I’ll be sharing my […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #7 – San Francisco, CAI may be back on the west coast after a lengthy holiday stay on the east coast, but that doesn’t mean I’m incapable of teleporting back to Georgia and filming a Wandering Wednesday video-blog there. It’s pretty much all thanks to the magical rainbow gazebo that I visit. Even in a small town where I […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #6 – Watkinsville, GALast time I wandered with you, I walked the ghostly streets of Long Beach, CA on Thanksgiving Day. This time, I was 3000 miles away in the city where I was born and raised. Good ole Langhorne, PA. I’ve walked these streets billions of times, and yet I never tire of seeing the historic Langhorne […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #5 – Langhorne, PAIt’s been far too long since I last wandered on a Wednesday with you all, and for that I apologize. I truly do enjoy exchanging my written words for spoken ones every now and then, but admittedly I’ve slacked. Blame it on the NBA. Not to worry! Because not only do I have a power-packed […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #4 – Long Beach, CAI spontaneously ventured to San Diego a couple weeks ago and figured I’d bring my camcorder along in anticipation of a great addition to my ever-growing Wandering Wednesday video collection. I did, however, forget to charge said camcorder before leaving home. And so I only had time to film about 60 seconds worth of TMZness. […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #3 – San Diego, CAThis past weekend I took a delightful little test to become qualified for substitute teaching in the great state of California. And what do you know, my camera just so happened to be with me. Fancy that, if you possibly can. I know; crazy stuff. Did I pass? Did I bomb? Did I get lost […]
Read More Wandering Wednesday #2 – Downey, CAHey there TMZ’ers! I’ve actually never thought of you guys as “TMZ’ers” until it flowed from my fingertips about 5 seconds ago. Don’t think that will stick. Anyway. With today’s post, I’m excited to bring you my first video blog (or “vlog,” for all the hipsters in the crowd). In my intro post to being […]
