Wanders & Words started in the tiny bedroom of my college apartment in Minneapolis at 20 years old. I thought a PR-focused blog would be the perfect way to jump start my career. I quickly realized I had z e r o desire to talk about work in my free time, so after I graduated in 2013 and secured my first job at an ad agency, I began to share snippets of my life in Fairbanks, Alaska.
Then I moved to Washington state,
then Arizona,
then Texas,
and now upstate New York.
And the one hobby that carried me through all these moves, all these places, and all that change?
Reading.
So in 2024 I made the decision to pivot this blog to book reviews, book lists, and all things reading, because some day I hope to become an author, and it seems like no better place to start that journey to get there than sharing my love for books.
