Welcome to Wanderlust Wendy! I’m glad you stumbled upon my blog, where I’ve kept musings from various life experiences since 2008. Recently, I relocated back to my childhood city of Taichung, Taiwan with my husband after two decades of living around the world. I write about travel, life abroad, and my journey to financial freedom.
This blog began from my time in the Peace Corps, then into days in grad school and a major life move to Shanghai, where I spent nearly six years. Travels in between have been chronicled, including the epic year of an around-the-world journey. Below are some of the highlights to help you navigate through my archive. Thanks for reading!
