Wandering Stus

We’re Lauren & Jesse Stuart aka The Stu’s from Wandering Stus!

A adventure travel couple who quit our jobs to traverse the countries of Southeast Asia, Nepal and beyond. We’re here to bring you travel tips, epic itineraries and your everyday “how to’s” to help you plan your biggest or smallest adventures, regardless of where you roam. Our goal is simple, to show you how wonderfully amazing travel is and above all to inspire you to go to those faraway places you’ve been dreaming of. Follow along as we tell our stories of places we have been and furthermore where we are going next!

Thanks for stopping by the Wandering Stus! Oh, and happy travels!

Life is weird isn’t it? From what you thought you’d grow up to be when you were a kid, to where you are now, and where you’ll eventually end up. There are no rules, no milestones and no schedule. So, enjoy the ride and always appreciate those small moments, like campsite fire chats with your love and pup ❤️

What are some of your favorite small moments??

Truth hurts! Hikers, it’s really all we do. Walk away and come right on back 🥾

Once again for the people in the back! CRESTED BUTTE, the wildflower CAPITAL of Colorado🌻! Can you see why? So what are you waiting for?!

🌺 With the wildflower blooms in full force during the month of July, the town sitting at 9,000ft in elevation provides endless hiking trails, biking trails and roadside views that allow you to get up close and personal with these beautiful wild blooms. Not to mention their annual @crestedbuttewildflowerfestival , Crested Butte does wildflowers like no one else.

Cocora Valley is one of the most beautiful natural landscapes we’ve had the pleasure to explore. It’s a Colombian oasis ✌🏻
