Hi there! I’m Betty, the visionary behind Wanderlust Gals. This passion project of mine is all about providing inspiration, tips, and handpicked products for women over 40 who are ready to embark on their own solo adventures. The idea for Wanderlust Gals sprouted from my own experiences and the desire to connect with amazing women like you who share the same adventurous spirit.
I’ve always believed that life’s adventure doesn’t have a ‘best before’ date. For me, that adventure takes shape in many thrilling solo excursions across the United States. Whether it’s a tranquil hike through a national park or a weekend exploring a vibrant city, my aim is to inspire women to embrace the wonders of solo travel. And while my current explorations have kept me stateside, I often dream of expanding my journeys globally.
But it’s not just about the destinations. My travels are enriched by my love for exploration, the excitement of tasting new cuisines—especially those that are vegetarian or vegan—and capturing the beauty around me through crafts and the use of vibrant colors. I also have a strong passion for history, which often guides my itinerary on travels, leading me to places rich with stories from the past.
Reading has always been my trusted companion on these journeys, offering a cozy escape into new worlds, whether in the pages of a gripping novel or historical account. It’s a simple joy that keeps me company on the road and ignites my imagination even further.
So, welcome to Wanderlust Gals! Here, you’re not just browsing a blog; you’re part of a community of fearless, vibrant women ready to see the world one solo trip at a time. With that, let me take you further into my personal journey as we dive into my solo explorations across the USA and the adventures that lie ahead.
