Exploring Papago Park – Phoenix, Arizona

Papago Park

We frequently travel to Arizona.  Mostly it is her Irish Dance competitions (many times just Sydney and I) that bring us there, so we take advantage of the opportunity to explore the natural beauty that is so prevalent in this state! These days, we find ourselves driving to Phoenix versus taking the short 1 hour […]

A Day in Page, Arizona – Antelope Canyon & Horseshoe Bend

In late November, our Arizona road trip took us to the small and relatively unknown town of Page, Arizona, home of one of my travel bucket list items, Antelope Canyon.  This town is about 9.5 hours from San Diego, which seemed like a long way to travel for a 1 day experience.  However, when paired […]

About Us

We are Wanderlusters. We aren’t nomads. We don’t have online businesses that follow us wherever we go. We are your somewhat normal (because really, who is normal?) family of 4 who lives in San Diego, California where during the daily grind of school and work, sports activities, and well, just life, we still find daily opportunity to breathe the salty air, catch the sunsets over the beach, and enjoy the palm trees that don’t shed their leaves during the winter. Combine that with taking advantage of weekends and school breaks…you’ll find us on the road exploring the USA and beyond, a lot. And mostly outdoors, as it's our favorite place to be.

Why this blog? We started this blog because we are passionate about helping others discover the true beauty and joy that San Diego offers, as well as sharing the other places we explore in the USA and beyond. San Diego locals will really benefit from this, as well as anyone who is interested in traveling to San Diego or the other great places we visit. Over the last 20 years, friends and family have visited San Diego, and my heart breaks a little when they tell me their itinerary is full of theme parks. Not that there is anything wrong with theme parks, but there is SO.MUCH.MORE to San Diego than theme park hopping. I’ve always been passionate about helping people discover what truly makes San Diego America’s Finest City and helping them create memories they will cherish forever!

In this blog we’ll share current travels and adventures (in San Diego, USA, and Abroad) as well as past. We hope our posts will inspire you to go to the very places we share, and/or get out and explore more!
