About Me

I am Emily Mucho. Welcome to my blog space.  This blog began with a culmination of a deep love of knowledge and travel intertwined with a passion for sharing experiences. I have been a teacher for the last twenty-three years and I have been traveling the world longer than that. I am excited to share my journeys with you as I meander the world.

Meander  /mēˈandər/  : to follow a winding path or course   : to wander casually without urgent destination

There are a few things about me you should know before reading my blogs. In addition to being a teacher, I am a wife and a mother. I have two smart, athletic amazing boys who I encourage to live their best life and being their mom fulfills me each and every day. My husband is amazingly adventurous and gives us the means to travel the world, so you'll see a lot of him in my blogs. 

You will also see two different worlds collide through my journeys. First, I am plant-based, vegan and my husband is a hard-core carnivore. Simply stated, I am a health nut, and he is not. Therefore, depending on your culinary preference, you will see food from different countries vary greatly between our plates. Another dynamic difference you may notice is that I am topographically disoriented, otherwise known as directionally challenged. I can get lost anywhere from a city to a shopping mall, you name it. My husband, on the other hand, can navigate in his sleep. I am sure he has a compass lodged up in his brain somewhere. We always joke that we need to participate on television's Amazing Race because honestly, with his excellent navigational skills and my attention to detail, we would win that million dollar prize. Finally, you will notice that he is more adventurous than I when it comes to events that could lead to death! I am fearful of many things, but you will see me tackle some of my worst fears through our adventures. I love hearts and tikis so you will see them make sneak appearances throughout my journeys. 

He and I have been traveling for the past fourteen years together and I cherish all these memories and adventures that I will share with you. I hope that I can pique your curiosity to explore some new states and countries and inspire you to learn more about other people, cultures, and yourself.

Thank you so much for being part of my community. My blogs are fed to social media, so please follow me there too. You can also subscribe to my newsletter with upcoming travels.

"Travel isn't always pretty. It isn't always comfortable. Sometimes it hurts, it even breaks your heart. But, that's okay. The journey changes you; it should change you. It leaves marks on your memory, on your consciousness, on your heart, and on your body. You take something with you. Hopefully, you leave something good behind." - Anthony Bourdain
