About Wanderlust Wendy: This blog centers around my experiences abroad, and my journey to a simpler life with financial freedom. It documents stories from my days in the Peace Corps, grad school, 5 years of corporate grind in Shanghai, our one-year stint in Saigon, and of course, all the wandering in between. I write, to pay-it-forward, and I hope you find these stories amusing and the resources useful.

We are Ali and Alison Walker. We met in 2004, married in 2006, reached financial independence in 2017, and retired in 2018. The first thing we did after reaching FIRE (financial independence retire early) was to create a complete and total change from our career-focused lives. In November 2018 we left our Seattle life behind and made travel our new lifestyle. We enjoyed traveling full time and getting to know people in other places for two years. Then COVID-19 changed the world so we changed direction again. We decided to create a new home base for ourselves in Flagstaff Arizona near family. As of February 2021 we will be adjusting to a new post-FIRE routine that includes owning a home along with traveling internationally and within the USA as well.

I was already overdrafted on my checking account by the time my pay was deposited, I had no savings, and worst of all, I cashed out my most important financial asset - my retirement account. Thankfully, that was a while ago and a lot has changed. To keep me green and growing, I share stories of how I save more to explore.

Everyone says you need to be dedicated to things. I think “things” is too vague. I think you should be dedicated to your life. After all, you are the one that has to experience it every day. Why force yourself to do something for 2+ years because the world says you have to? Travel opened up a world of opportunity for me and I’ve been living in Phnom Penh, Cambodia for almost two years! I started my sales consulting business at 24 and this year, I have been working on building my business to the point where I can now live almost anywhere in the world! I hope you enjoyed learning a bit more about me!

I started We Want Guac after years of itching to share my own experiences. The name itself comes from getting the “extra” in life without feeling guilty about it or like you can’t afford it – the guac at Chipotle being the premier example. I focus on showing people in their early 20s how to get started on the climb to wealth; whether you’re debt-free or have loads of loans, whether you’re a newbie or a little advanced, it doesn’t matter. We’re out to get you to understand everything related to finance: budgeting, investing, income growth, adjusted mindsets, and overarching societal impacts are all discussed at length.
