Touring Atlanta in Style with the Mazda MX-5 Miata

Touring Atlanta in Style with the Mazda MX-5 Miata www.worldofawanderer.com

This post is in collaboration with Mazda & DriveShop I'm pretty sure we've all had that ONE thing that we wanted more than anything else in the world as a kid. That thing that may have been a little ostentatious; yet, we begged and pleaded with our parents and would almost give life and limb for it, if that's what it required. Maybe for you it was a treehouse, or pony, or the entire Mighty Morphing Power Rangers collection (because let's be honest, who didn't want to be a Power Ranger?). For me, it was a...

What’s in My Bag? The 5th Co. Essential

What's in My Bag? The 5th Co. Essential

I have been known to be a notorious overpacker, and when it has come to my everyday bag it's been no different. My parents used to teasingly ask, "What do you have in that suitcase?" (referring to my purse/bag), and to that I would respond, "My life, duh." I like being prepared. I mean, you just never know when you might need those pair of socks in your purse to double as gloves because it's the dead of winter and you forgot your real gloves at home. You were running late, didn't have time to let...

The Accessory That Every Traveler Needs: The 5th Watch

Every traveler needs a good watch. Personally, my life revolves around constantly being in one place or another. I´m always on the go, and there´s always planes, trains, and other things to catch. Plus, since moving abroad I have definitely had to adjust my punctuality habits more like the lack thereof. So when I got the opportunity to collaborate with The 5th watch company  I was ecstatic. No more digging through my purse aka the abyss of random stuff looking for my phone to check the time. No more distractions when I pick up my phone, but end up on...

Skyroam Review: How to Stay Connected When Traveling Internationally

As a travel blogger staying connected is imperative. I mean, how else am I going to show you the world of a wanderer, via Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat, if I have shoddy or non-existent WiFi? I can't! And that's just not ok. Right?! Right. But, besides staying connected to the social world, I need to be able to have access to more functional things such as Google Maps, a translator, and the internet to pull up information on the fly while traveling abroad. If you've ever traveled internationally, you know this is not always an easy or cheap feat. Relying on...

Airbnb Alternatives: Vacation Rental Sites You Should Know

Sometimes hotels just don’t cut it, especially when traveling with a family or a large group of friends, or even if you’re a solo traveler, such as myself, who just want to stay somewhere unique.

By now, we have all heard of Airbnb for accommodation rentals and if...

That One Time I Thought I Was About to Die: A Mini Confession

This is a random note I came across in my phone this morning while searching for something else. Too long for a Facebook post (IMO), and not quite long enough for a featured blog post, I figured I'd make it a mini confession: Everyone bracing themselves, drinks sloshing, cutlery and other tray items flying, unanimous "Ohhh's" and "Whoa's" with every violent bump, and a whole lot of prayers, on my part. I just knew the face masks would drop at any minute and today would be the day that I met my Maker. I've never experienced...
