Meet Courtney
Welcome to Elle est Wanderlust! I’m so glad you’re here.
My name is Courtney, and I’m a millennial mom of three kiddos living in the picturesque state of North Carolina with my high school sweetheart. For many years, I worked in the fast-paced world of corporate software sales, climbing the ladder and achieving what I once thought were my dreams. However, something was missing. The constant grind left little room for my true passion—travel.
After years of balancing work and family, I made a life-changing decision to leave my corporate career behind and fully embrace my love of exploring the world. This blog is a testament to that leap of faith. It’s a space where I share a piece of my little life with the hope of inspiring women to create a life rich with memories for them and their families.
