About

Welcome to The World Up Close my blog where I write about places I've been and things I'm doing. I am an avid traveler, who has been to all seven continents and a few dozen countries. I've hiked half the Appalachian Trail in one go, with more planned. I love to write about those places, and share tips and pointers. I am a FIRE retired former software developer (BS Computer Science) and operations manager (MBA) who now spends her days walking dogs, traveling, hiking, and writing, both here and freelance.

I love questions and comments so please leave some! Check out my Instagram for more pictures and videos:  @Desirawanders
