Hi, I’m Jennefer Walden

I’m an Ohio-based writer and photographer who loves finding interesting places to visit with my husband and family. This blog is where I share the photographs, experiences, and bucket list ideas I collect along the way.
Before writing about travel, I wrote Three Sons and A Princess for ClubMom, sharing my family’s adoption journey. Here, I invite you to come exploring with me, whether we’re close to home or halfway around the world.
I hope you find a place that makes you think, I’d like to go there!
