Rooted in the Midwest. Roaming Everywhere Else.
Hi, I’m Haley, a wild roamer and proud homebody proving you can be both. Welcome to Rooted + Roaming—a space for intentional living, soul-led travel, and tools to help you wander with purpose. Whether you’re exploring distant landscapes or reconnecting with home soil, you’ll find immersive guides, travel inspiration, and resources to support your next meaningful adventure.
Rooted + Roaming was born out of motion—and stillness.
For years, I ran. Through cities, across oceans, into remote corners of the world. Travel became an escape, then an identity, then a full-time lifestyle. I was chasing something I couldn’t name.
When my dad passed unexpectedly, everything stopped. I inherited his century-old farmhouse in rural Illinois—and with it, a sense of clarity I didn’t expect. For the first time, I chose to stay. To fix what was broken. To rest.
Now, Rooted + Roaming is the bridge between both worlds:
intentional travel, slow living, and finding meaning in both movement and stillness.
