We’re Keri and Matt! Both with full-time careers and busy parents of three teenagers still at home, we are firm believers that you don’t always need a plane ticket or a two-week vacation to enjoy new adventures.

Based just outside of State College, Pennsylvania, we’ve made a habit of squeezing every ounce of adventure out of weekend escapes – whether a quick day trip or a longer weekend a bit further away. Some trips are just the two of us, some include our teens (willingly or otherwise), and all of them are fueled by curiosity, good food, and the belief that anywhere we explore together is worthwhile.

Weekend Well Wandered was born from the idea that travel doesn’t have to be extravagant to be meaningful. We journey everywhere from small towns and cities to mountains and beaches - all experiences that fit into real life: sports schedules, homework, work deadlines, and all. Our weekends are usually loosely held, leaving space for spontaneity, unfamiliar areas, wrong turns, and the stories that come from them.
