Wander With Monica
A soulful traveler at heart...
I share magical moments from my travels & from Portland. Here, you’ll find elegant escapes, local gems, and ways to wander more intentionally. So grab a cup of tea and settle in—you’re invited to wander with me!
Hi, I'm Monica!
…A soulful traveler, explorer of everyday magic, and longtime lover of wandering wherever my heart leads. I spent years traveling the country during my corporate career. These days, I travel with my amazing husband Dave, savoring the experience and finding little bits of magic hidden along the way. We’re Marriott Vacation Club owners, and many of our favorite escapes begin there.
Whether it’s across the world or just across town, I believe travel is a journey back to your soul. I’m so glad you’re here to wander with me!
