Hey everyone! 👋

I’m Petra, and I’m here to wake up your adventurous spirit and share the incredible places I discover on my journey through life! 🌍

I spent 13 months in Canada where I was working and traveling. This blog was made especially to help me process this unforgettable adventure and share my learnings how to travel more meaningful with you.

I owe my love for hiking and nature to my parents & grand mother, who introduced me to the hiking in my beautiful home country Slovakia at a young age.

During my teenage years, I had different interests, but later I rediscovered my passion for nature and the outdoors. Thankfully, I didn’t become a complete bookworm, much to my grandma’s relief!

However, I still get lost in Harry Potter stories. The name of this blog is a combination of the short version of my last name and the word ‘wander,’ but it also reminds me of Ollivander, which is why I chose it. 

I spent 5 amazing years studying Economics & Management in beautiful Czech Republic, with a memorable Erasmus adventure in France, surviving on a tight budget. This is where I discovered my adventure spirit – hitchhiking and couchsurfing across France with my Lithuanian friend.

From there, I ventured to Lithuania for an internship in summer camp and explored the Baltic countries. Then, I spent two summers as a lifeguard in Virginia, exploring both US coasts.

And then fate intervened when I met Martin – my current boyfriend, and it was love at first sight! We moved to Austria and fell in love with climbing and Via Ferratas.

I’m happy to help you plan your itineraries and provide consultation, whether you’re looking to start volunteering while traveling or spend a year abroad.

If I inspire at least one person to embark on the adventure of a lifetime, my mission is complete 🫶
