About Me

Hello and welcome, welcome, welcome to  Wander Away with Siri Kay. My name is Siri Kay Jostad, and I am a girl who was born with a curiosity about the world. I am SUPER excited to have you join my journey here.

​

When I think about my happy place, its cuddled up in my big 'rose' chair, hot Good Earth chai tea mixed with Tulsi Raspberry Peach tea and a dash of apple cider vinegar in a favorite mug, laptop in hand meticulously researching great places to stay.  I love it so much, I do it even when friends tell me they are going someplace because I'm SURE I can dig up something special and awesome.

​

That is, in part, what inspired me to start Wander Away--an easily accessible place for current and new friends to know where I've gone and what I did, as a way of informing their own trips.  

We all need a source for dreaming and inspiration and I'm hoping that's what Wander Away can be.

So I'm writing about what interests and inspires me.

​

Everything I write comes from my personal experiences.  If someone partners with me on an experience I will make sure you know it. My opinions are my own and I will always be candid and honest.

​

What's With Me and Travel?

​

When it comes to travel I was born loving it.  Long hours watching the road pass by lying on the top shelf of a camper truck, backpacking the Sierras, 3 months with a backpack through Europe during college and now nothing short of 2 to 4 week excursions to places so that I can live like a local.

I also happen to like REALLY nice things:  Beauty, Fashion, the Unique, Comfort, Good Service and the Aesthetics of things. I have quite the discerning eye.

Truth be told, I tend to spend a lot of time shopping when I travel (should I admit that?) and always before a big trip I actually buy myself a whole new wardrobe.  I'll have to blog about why some time. (smile) (I probably shouldn't admit that either)

All that good stuff has evolved into a passion for helping others get beyond the mundane trip.  I have come to discover that trip dreaming does not come as easily or as joyfully to some as it does for me.  So, I'd love to help!

​

My father always said there are so many places in the world you could never actually see them all in a lifetime...therefore I must get started exploring now.
