Hi travelers! We’re Julie and Austin Wells, a part-time travel couple from Dallas, TX. We came up with the name for this blog by putting a twist on the phrase “well-traveled” and a line from the famous Robert Frost poem “The Road Not Taken.” Most of the destinations we visit together are pretty frequently traveled, and we want this blog to be a helpful resource to anybody who is planning their own adventure!

Here are a few fun facts to help you get to know us better:

• We met working at our hometown newspaper. Our careers have since diverged into other fields, but we have both always shared a deep love for writing and photography.
• Collectively we have visited 18 states and 7 countries so far. We have so many more destinations on our bucket list!
• We are both avid readers and huge Harry Potter fans. Austin wooed me on our second date with his famous homemade butterbeer recipe. We had a little golden snitch on our wedding cake and honeymooned at Universal Studios.
• We were both born and raised here in Texas, and we love sharing unique experiences from across our home state!
• Julie is the planning queen, creating elaborate 10-page Google docs full of our trip itineraries and notes. Austin is the history buff who researches local lore, ghost stories, and historically significant moments for each place we roam.

We believe travel enriches our lives by exposing us to nature, history, and culture. We have always found it to be worth the money and time we invest in it because of what we learn and how our relationship grows from sharing those experiences together.

We hope this blog helps you as you plan your next trip!
