Raise Your Hand and See Where It Takes You
Volunteering at John Pennekamp brought us a place to stay, a new friend, and an evening snorkeling the reef while we figured out what comes next.

Get There Early
A century old luncheonette, one strange egg cream, shopping, Aladdin, drinks in Central Park, plenty of laughter, and a fight: our New York girls’ weekend was not perfect. That was part of what made it matter.
A Blown Tire on the Way to the Keys. Enter Road Ranger John.
A socket that wouldn't fit, a very welcome roadside assist, and the Florida phone number worth saving before your next trip.
Fishing JY Reef with Dad
Our first offshore fishing trip together brought an amberjack, a barracuda, red snapper, and a busy day over one of Georgia’s artificial reefs.
Places, people, and small discoveries
Glow Night Kayaking: Experience Austin’s Neon Adventure on Lady Bird Lake
LED-lit clear kayaks and a view of downtown Austin from Lady Bird Lake after dark.
The Beautiful Art of the Japanese Tea Ceremony in Hokkaido
A slower moment in Sapporo, with matcha, traditional sweets and the attention that goes into serving tea.
Snowmobile to the heart of Iceland's Langjökull Glacier
The adventure begins not by car, but by specialized transport. Visitors are often shuttled from the base camp (like Húsafell or Klaki) up the rugged glacial slopes in a massive, modified Super Truck (or monster truck).

Places worth wandering toward
Go out. Get lost. Come back with a story.
Wander 'Bout is for the days that don't go quite according to plan — the wrong turn, the unexpected stop, the thing you almost missed. We get out there, make films, write Field Notes, and share what we find along the way.
Come wander with us. Follow a story, try a new place, or become a Scout and send back a discovery of your own. And when you find something worth keeping, there's Found: our shop of vintage objects, artwork, and useful gear with a story.
Send us what you found out there.
Wander 'Bout is built on contributions from people who go somewhere and notice what is around them. Submit a Field Note, a photo, a video, or a discovery. Earn badges. Join the field.
A good reason to look up.
Occasional stories, Scout discoveries, new Wanders, and recently found objects. No noise—just dispatches from the field.
