Welcome to Southern Roots and Wanderlust Wings—a space where heritage meets horizon, and every mile carries meaning.
I’m Amy, a wanderlust spirit with a restless, gypsy heart, rooted in the South, but drawn to worldly exploration! A southern girl by birth and an Alabamian by circumstance, there’s something about a good rocking chair on a front porch with a glass of sweet tea that feels like home. But I’ve always felt the pull of belonging somewhere else and needing to explore—from the winding paths and villages of the Cotswolds, to the big city lights of Paris to the moody cobblestone streets of Edinburgh and beyond—it’s the thrill of new landscapes, and the discoveries that mark each journey.
This blog is my compass and my journal. It’s where I reflect on travel that’s not just about movement, but about transformation. It’s about experiencing new cultures and changing the way we look at the world. It’s about slowing down, eyes wide open, embracing the wonder beyond our everyday world.
Whether you’re here for inspiration, storytelling, or simply to wander alongside me, I’m glad you’ve found your way. May your own wings carry you far, and your roots keep you steady.
