Hey there! 

I’m Mae-Gene,

but you can call me MG

I’m an adventurer, photographer and travel writer

at The Wandering Suitcase

The Wandering Suitcase is about inspiring travelers to get outside of their comfort zone and go on that once-in-a-lifetime adventure.

Do you remember your first solo trip?

Did your heart jump out of your chest when you got on your first flight?

Were your palms sweaty when you waited for your luggage at the airport?

Did you run through thoughts of “have I done the right thing?” over and over in your mind?

Do you remember all the research and reading pages and pages of information in preparation?

The Wandering Suitcase helps 15,000 readers and followers every month plan that memorable, once-in-a-lifetime adventure

I’m that friend who they turn to for super practical advice.

I’m the blogger who shares awkward, scary travel moments.

As a super honest, fellow scaredy-cat traveler, my readers look to me to tell it like it is.

Through The Wandering Suitcase, I share my story of adventure and inspire my fellow travelers to take the plunge (even if they’re scared!) through my writing, photos and down-to-earth Instagram posts.

Here are some of the things my readers have said about me…

“Very inspiring! I love your blog. It has tons of good information. It helped me a lot when I planned my trip to Arizona.”

– Nikki, USA

 “I think the Wandering Suitcase is useful because it provides information without the commercial lens. Such a trustworthy source that is easy to listen to.”

– Kathy, Australia 

“I’ve not crying; you’re crying!!! So inspirational and I can relate to this so much! Nothing fuels that fire like “you can’t do that.” YES, I CAN, and you’re gonna watch me!! This is probably my favorite insta post of all time, way to nail it so perfectly.”

– Anna, USA

“It’s so crazy that you’re posting this today… I’m currently trying to convince my mom that I should take my first solo trip overseas to Italy! It’s my dream trip, and she’s scared!”

– Bailey, USA

Photography

They say that “a picture is worth 1,000 words” and I honestly believe that photographs truly capture moments, experiences and feelings that words can’t.

Photography is one of my passions, which I showcase via my Instagram and my work is regularly shared from other accounts and local Tourism Boards.

Example deliverables include:
