ABOUT ME

Welcome to Wandering Americana!

Hi, I’m Colleen. An American by birth but a citizen of the world at heart. Over the years, I’ve lived in Brazil for five unforgettable years and now call the picturesque surroundings near Stockholm, Sweden, my home.

With a background in International Studies, I deeply appreciate the transformative power of global understanding. Traveling and living abroad has shown me how stepping into another culture not only broadens our horizons but also fosters respect and empathy for our global neighbors.


Through this blog, I aim to create a welcoming space where we can share stories, learn from one another, and inspire wanderlust. Whether you’re an experienced traveler or someone dreaming of their first big adventure, my hope is to encourage you to embrace the world with curiosity and an open heart.


Thanks for stopping by, let’s explore together!
