What inspired the name Wands In Wonderland?

When I first decided to create my YouTube channel and blog I wanted a name that would represented how I see the world. Through my eyes the world can be magical, whimsical and magnificent. However, it can also be crazy, complicated and scary. Sometimes we know exactly who we are and where we are going and other times everything can be uncertain…and that’s ok.

What places are on your travel bucket list?

Let’s just say that if I was to ever win the lottery I would leave everything behind and go travel the world. There is something so fascinating about exploring new locations, trying new foods, and immersing yourself in new cultures. Currently my top five bucket list places to visit would be: Japan, Thailand, Iceland, New Zealand, and United Kingdom.

Why do you want to live a slow life?

Ever since I can remember, and way before it became popular on social media, I have been attracted to slow living. I have never been attracted by material, fancy, or flashy things. My goals have never been to climb the corporate ladder or live a life of luxury.

I would describe my ideal life as one where I live in a simple yet purposeful manner. A life where I am in tune with nature, present, aware, and grateful. Overall a life that I can share with those I love.

How do you balance slow living and working a nine to five?

Honesty this has been one of the most challenging things to do…but not impossible. While many of us would love to live in a cottage in the middle of a beautiful forest away from everything the truth is it’s not always possible. In my case I make sure to fully disconnect from work once my day is complete. I find time to do things that fill my heart with joy whether that be making videos, reading a book, or painting. I implement techniques to help me manage my stress and anxiety levels. Most importantly because I am aware of my situation I take extra steps to ensure that outside of my nine to five I am living a life that brings be joy.
