Hi, I’m Stephanie. I got my first passport stamp in 1993, and haven’t stopped yet. I’ve visited 157 countries (and counting), all seven continents, and every state in the U.S. — most of them for a reason. For more than two decades, I worked as a humanitarian consultant embedded with some of the world’s leading development organizations, including UNICEF and World Vision. That work took me from the deserts of Sudan to the skyscrapers of Singapore, from London to Laos — not as a tourist, but as someone paid to understand and tell the stories of what’s actually happening on the ground.
Somewhere along the way, I also became very good at the art of traveling. As a published author and recognized expert in credit cards, points and miles strategy, I’ve spent years helping people leverage every dollar and every mile — not to travel cheap, but to travel exceptionally well.
I’m the friend everyone calls before a big trip. The one who knows which safari camp is worth it, how to get there first class on an A380, what to pack, who to tip, and what the guidebook got wrong. I still spend roughly half the year on the road — which means when I recommend somewhere, I’ve probably already been there.
Wandering for Good is where I channel all of it — a travel advisory practice built on access most advisors simply don’t have. My mission is simple: see the world, change the world, and have fun doing it. And I want to help you do the same.
You can go to the places everyone’s posting about. Or you can go somewhere that changes you.
This space exists for the second kind of traveller. If that’s you, let’s talk.
Other FUN facts
Things I love: deep soaking bathtubs in fancy hotels, hammocks on exotic beaches, hotel breakfast, people who can laugh at themselves, Asian airlines, americanos, sending postcards, and capturing the beauty and color of the world.
Things I don’t love: checked luggage, grumpy people, domestic airline lounges, foreign transaction fees, dishonest taxi drivers, and ketchup.
