A Letter from Our Founder
I didn't start WeWandr because I love travel planning.
I started it because, at a certain point, family travel started to feel almost impossible.
After our third son, the thought of planning a trip felt overwhelming. Not just the big pieces - flights or accommodations - but all the in-between details that parents quietly carry: what to pack, how to get around with kids, what daily life would actually look like once we arrived. The information was out there, but it was scattered, impersonal, and often didn't apply to families like ours.
And yet, I also held onto a very different memory.
Two years earlier, I was on a plane with our three-month-old son. I was figuring things out as I went - all trial, almost all errors and countless kind strangers helping me along the way. At some point during the flight, another mom traveling alone with her baby needed help. Without thinking twice, I stepped in. Not because I had special expertise, but because I was living it too. We understood each other instantly.
That moment stayed with me.
It reminded me that parents don't need perfect advice - we need each other. We need the kind of insight that only comes from lived experience, shared honestly, without judgment. Parents helping parents travel better, together.
WeWandr was born from that idea.
We started with family travel because it's a category where small details truly matter - and trust is essential. Where one-size-fits-all advice falls short, and where learning from someone who's already been there can make all the difference. But the vision is bigger than any one type of traveler. WeWandr is being built as a place where people can learn from others who travel like they do and where lived experience is recognized and valued.
Alongside being a parent, I've spent much of my career working closely with early-stage teams, focused on marketing, strategy, and growth - with a background in finance that's shaped how I think about building sustainable systems. I care deeply about creating things that are thoughtful, scalable, and grounded in real human needs, not trends or noise.
That's how WeWandr is being built.
Not as a platform driven by influence or volume, but as a trusted place for experience to be shared, organized, and respected. A place where families, and eventually all kinds of travelers, can feel less alone in figuring things out.
WeWandr is still taking shape. It's being informed by real trips, real challenges, and early input from people who believe, as I do, that travel is be easier when we learn from one another.
If this resonates with you, I'd love for you to be part of it.
Warmly,
Founder, WeWandr
