Wander Woman is Scary Mommy's latest travel package celebrating the beauty — and necessity — of getting outside and literally touching grass. From a mother-daughter road trip to the Grand Canyon, to a solo camping guide for women, to a Route 66 centennial celebration, we're making the case that travel, shared experiences, and connection with the world around us are exactly what we need right now. Come with Scary Mommy as we commemorate the end of summer with a dash of wanderlust, a heavy dose of sarcasm, and a deep love for the open road.
