Our 2019 Travelogue
Long midday shadows in winter Alaska
In 2019, we have emphasized celebrating beauty and researching designs and materials. This new website caps a year of inspiration at The Intrepid Wendell.
2019 has seen us in the tundra and the tropics. We hiked in the highest mountains and strode on frozen rivers. We met old friends at familiar haunts and paused for newfound experiences.
Creative people often have sensitive hearts. This year, our hearts were especially touched in Sri Lanka very shortly after the brutal Easter Sunday terrorist attacks. In Hong Kong, our emotions sometimes lacked for words as we directly saw the people of Hong Kong protest for their cause.
The Intrepid Wendell shared joy all around the world, staying over 125 nights in hotels, inns, and houses.
