Wander Worthy™ is an independent travel publication founded in 2021 by Alexandrea Sumuel Groves.
A travel journalist, digital publisher, and member of the Society of American Travel Writers, North American Travel Journalists Association, and the Society of Professional Journalists, Alex built Wander Worthy on first-hand travel and honest storytelling.
In addition to her own coverage, Wander Worthy also shares authentic stories and insights from fellow travelers who bring unique perspectives from around the world.
Every feature on Wander Worthy is researched, written, or edited by travel journalists and contributors with verified on-the-ground experience. Our content is designed to help readers plan meaningful trips.
In addition to destination coverage, we also report on travel industry news, trends, and updates that help readers stay informed about what’s shaping how we explore.
- Authenticity: We only write about places we’ve personally experienced or verified through reliable sources.
- Transparency: We disclose affiliate partnerships and note when stock photography helps us paint a better picture.
- Accessibility: We believe great travel writing should inspire everyone, not just frequent flyers.
