About Idaho Wanderer: Your Local Guide to Adventure in Idaho

About Us: The Team Behind Idaho Wanderer

Hi! I'm Meredith!

After a whirlwind fifteen-year career in marketing, managing content and communications for global tech consulting firms, nonprofits and PR agencies, I'm in a new era of slower more intentional living while raising my growing family in North Idaho. Blending my professional experience with my passion for family and travel, my days are now a dynamic mix of homemaking on my 16-acres in Sandpoint, travel writing for She Buys Travel, and promoting the best family-owned tours and attraction businesses in Idaho and the American West through Idaho Wanderer.

As a meticulous planner, I believe in the power of thorough research to uncover hidden gems and ensure the best possible experiences for my family. This dedication extends to my clients as well. With three young children, I understand a mothers' desire to make the most out of every precious moment.

Planning a family vacation should be an exciting adventure, not a late-night chore. I'm here to transform that experience for my clients, offering my carefully curated recommendations so you can optimize quality time with your loved ones both pre-trip and on the road, and enjoy a truly remarkable vacation.

And I'm Will!

I'm a lifelong adventurer and a firm believer that the best experiences happen outside. My love for the outdoors and my background in movement and exploring wild spaces helps me help travelers seeking a truly unforgettable experience with their family or friends.

From rock climbing to whitewater rafting, my life has always been about pushing boundaries and discovering new horizons. I've been fortunate enough to share my passion with others through appearances as Will of Stone on three seasons of National Geographic's "The Legend of Mick Dodge," my homesteading YouTube channel, and my agritourism experience as a top-rated Hipcamp host. As a youth parkour and movement coach, I motivate our local youth in Sandpoint to embrace their physical potential and connect with the world around them.

As a father, I encourage my own kids to build confidence through movement outdoors and embrace the wonder of adventure. This same philosophy drives my work as a travel advisor with Idaho Wanderer, crafting memorable trips for families who crave excitement and exploration. Let me help you create an unforgettable journey that will leave you feeling invigorated, and connected to the natural world.

Together, we're Idaho Wanderer.

As parents, content creators, and local Idaho travel advisors, we love to explore new destinations, support family-owned businesses, and experience the natural wonders of our great nation with our growing family.

We started Idaho Wanderer to share these passions and to connect travelers with the family-owned business owners offering the best tours and attractions in the American West.
