The World Wide Wander 2024

We wandered, we connected, we laughed, we cried. Wow. Just wow. The World Wide Wander 2024 was truly wanderful!

A massive huge thanks to everyone who wandered with us - it was amazing to wander with thousands of you, collectively around the world, solo in our own experience.

We had 65 Walkshops in total all around world, 4 online with hundreds of wanderers participating from over 30 countries, and 61 in-person Walkshops from Minsk to Morden, Lima to Leamington Spa, Portland to Perth.

We learnt so much from each other’s wanders and shared stories, and our hearts were filled with joy and wonder, not to mention admiration and kind curiosity.

We were so wowed by everyone who took part so generously and courageously.

Thank you to our incredible community of volunteer hosts who created the time and space for people to wander with wonder. Thank you to our amazing special guests who delighted us along the way. And thank you to our wanderers, for sharing the open path so gracefully and graciously.

Fancy owning your own World Wide Wander T-shirt, made so beautifully by our friends at Folk Clothing? Grab yours and wander in the beauty.

We’ll announce the next World Wide Wander 2025 soon, but for now enjoy these gorgeous photos of connection and insight from this year’s BIG Wander. Meanwhile, if you’d like to get involved in this global movement of kindness and curiosity, contact us!
