About
Travel has shaped so much of who I am.
For 14 years, I had the privilege of working as a flight attendant. During those years, I experienced places I'd only dreamed of visiting, discovered cultures different from my own, and came to appreciate that every destination has its own personality.

Some places are vibrant and energetic. Others invite you to slow down. Every journey leaves you with something a little different than when you arrived.
Travel became more than simply getting from one place to another. It became my way of experiencing the world.
Paris, France
Like many travellers, I loved exploring local shops whenever I had the chance. Not because I loved shopping, but because I was curious. Every now and then I'd come across the perfect Christmas or birthday gift for someone back home - something thoughtful that couldn't be found at the local mall.
"I found this in New York." Or: "I picked this up in Mexico."
Those gifts always felt a little more meaningful because they carried a story with them. Looking back, I think those small moments quietly planted the seed for what would eventually become Wanderlust Stuff.
When I started this business, I wasn't trying to build just another online store. I wanted to create a place for women who love travel as much as I do.
-
A place where beautiful and practical could exist together.
-
A place where discovering a travel product felt a little like discovering it while wandering through a shop in another city.
-
A place that celebrates not only the journey itself, but all the little moments that make travel so memorable.
Over the years, Wanderlust Stuff has grown in ways I never imagined. Along the way, I've learned more than I ever expected about entrepreneurship, e-commerce, branding, and building a business from the ground up.
I've also had the privilege of connecting with incredible business owners and a community of women who share the same love of travel that inspired me in the first place.
While the business continues to evolve, the heart behind it hasn't changed.
I still believe travel has an incredible ability to inspire us, broaden our perspective, build our confidence, and create memories that stay with us long after we've unpacked our suitcase.

My hope is that Wanderlust Stuff inspires you to take that next trip, discover somewhere new, and find products that help make your journey a little more comfortable, a little more organized, and a little more beautiful.
