Wanderlust Reconsidered is a collection of personal stories about travel, belonging, and learning to find home—both in places and within ourselves.

This isn’t a space for bucket lists or perfect itineraries. It’s about the quiet side of movement—the lessons, the contradictions, the moments that linger long after the suitcase is unpacked.

Travel has shaped every chapter of my life: childhood summers in southern Spain, the first steps of independence studying abroad, the freedom of my early years in London, and the slower, more intentional journeys I take now. Through it all, I’ve discovered that movement can heal, but it can also hide—and that sometimes, staying still takes the greatest courage.

Here, I write honestly about what travel gives and what it asks of us—about love, loss, identity, and the evolving meaning of home. Because the most transformative journeys aren’t always measured in miles but in how deeply we learn to see.
