About Me

Wendy: Born and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I still suffer from LA culture shock on occasion. As general manager of Le Dufy Hotel in the 80's, associates referred to me as 'Gidget'. Inspired by my fearless globe-trotting Aunt Evie, I took the leap to move to Los Angeles and have been traveling ever since in order to "get out of Dodge". This blog is dedicated to her love of travel and her adventurous spirit. "If you can't carry it, don't bring it." * Note: This is a personal website, produced in my own time and solely reflecting my personal opinions. Statements on this site do not represent the views or policies of my current employer, past or future, or any other organization with which I may be affiliated.
