The answer to whether you are walking or wandering often changes from season to season – life is fickle in that way. We asked some of the folks we most admire to reflect on whether they feel like they are walking or wandering and have shared some of their responses below.

I am definitely walking a path. When you create something that no one else has done it can be both terrifying and rewarding. But before you start, you need to ask yourself, ‘What’s the best case scenario and the worse case scenario?’ If the worst case scenario is tolerable, move forward. Read More>>

I think I’m starting to wander, in a good way! It’s always been clear to me that I want to be a designer, and that I like making things. And recently I’ve started to explore other kinds of creation and just having fun in experimenting, which brought a lot of new inspirations and joy! Read More>>

I’m walking a path. Honestly, it’s a path I should have started sooner, especially after my diabetes diagnosis. That moment gave me clarity and purpose. Now, I’m using my artistic talents through Warriors Against Diabetes to help motivate and inspire others who are fighting the same battle. It’s more than just a creative outlet—it’s a mission.

It is appropriate to say that I am more of a wanderer. Although I set goals and work hard to reach them, many of my goals often stem from newly developed experiences and happenstances in both my personal and professional life. For instance, I enjoy spending my free time experiencing new things, such as restaurants and art galleries. Read More>>

I believe I’m walking on a path. Walking on a path versus wandering reveals fundamental differences in how I approach life and creativity.

I am most definitely wandering and I am perfectly at peace with that. Walking a path is fine but now that I’m in my mid 50’s giving myself permission to wander allows me to explore new ideas, new mediums and new perspectives. Read More>>

We’re undeniably wandering—and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Our journey, chronicled on thirteenadventures.com, is less about following a set path and more about embracing the unknown with open hearts and fearless spirits. From the moment we hitched our first trailer, we’ve let the spark of discovery guide us, whether it’s chasing new horizons across 100,000 miles, hiking the 2,198.4-mile Appalachian Trail, or exploring Canada and Alaska’s wild expanses in our van this past summer.
