BEHIND STRATEGIC WANDER

I'm Andrew.

I’m a traveler and writer who believes the best trips change more than your surroundings. I created Strategic Wander to share the places I’ve been, the fears I’ve faced, and the experiences that have changed my perspective.

Travel helps me see things differently

Exploring new places has helped me challenge fears, get outside familiar routines and see things from a different perspective. I created Strategic Wander to document those experiences—the good ones, the uncomfortable ones and everything I’ve learned along the way.
