Some call me Paf, others call me Foua. I usually introduce myself as Pafoua-pronounced a little bit like Pa-Fwuh or Ba-fwah depending on who I’m speaking with. It’s complicated. 😜

I’m so glad you’re here!
I was a college graduate with a teaching license and minimal job options so I did the next best thing: moved back in with my parents.
While there, I applied to teach abroad and moved my whole life to China.
As an expat living in China, I traveled to new places with friends and fell in love with all the different cultures I was encountering.
I started Her Wanderful World in 2021 to document ways to create memorable experiences traveling. Today, I enjoy sharing travel itineraries, guides, and tips with all my readers!

It doesn’t matter if you’ve never stepped out of your city limits or traveled the world over. We all start somewhere.
I love making new friends, so we can make it official and connect on social media
