WanderLust in Real Life
A travel blog to help you fulfill the wanderlust in your life by providing itinerary inspiration, travel tips & insight on tasty food and drinks along the journey.
Hi! I’m Heather & I’d like to Welcome you to my travel blog WanderLust in Real Life!
I aim to help you fulfill the wanderlust in your life by providing itinerary inspiration, travel tips & insight on tasty food and drinks along the journey. I’m always seeking out craft beer especially while I travel! Check out more details of the Breweries I’ve traveled to and my passion of Craft Beer Travel.
I’m a corporate professional working a fully remote 9-5 job constantly having wanderlust while I’m living my real life. Hence, the idea for “WanderLust in Real Life” was born. Growing up, I didn’t travel much and found a passion for travel and other countries in college. I studied abroad twice and since then always have adventures planned near or far.
Growing up I lived in Northern Minnesota and previously I lived in the “Twin Cities” suburbs near Minneapolis, Minnesota.
In 2022, I relocated to DFW (Fort Worth) Texas. In between, selling our home & settling in Texas my husband and I (along with our dog) embarked on an extended road trip in our travel trailer. We started a YouTube channel to chronicle our relocation journey or as we have coined it “Our Grand Adventure” and will share everything travel on YouTube, so be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss a thing!
I travel throughout the United States & worldwide but you better believe I always have a trip near or far on deck.
