🌍 Welcome to Wandering Raine

🌍 Welcome to Wandering Raine

I’ve always loved to wander — not just across places, but through time, memories, and little stories tucked inside photographs.

I started taking digital photos back in 2005 with my very first digital camera (remember those chunky silver ones?). I didn’t know it then, but that was the start of a habit — snapping moments everywhere I went, from road trips to random city corners.

Now, twenty years later, I’m starting Wandering Raine as my online travelog — as a way to wander back in time, to revisit the places I’ve been, the paths I’ve taken, and the adventures that shaped me. Each post will revisit a trip, an adventure, or even a small everyday wander that happened around this same time years ago.

It’s part memory lane, part travel journal, and part reminder to slow down and notice the world — past and present.

So, welcome along! Here’s to looking back, traveling forward, and finding wonder everywhere.
