"It was 1965. Hawaii was calling her adventurous heart, and Wanda was falling in love with life." In the turbulent mid-sixties, when much of the world was involved in racial clashes and experimenting with mind-altering drugs, young Wanda (McFeaters) Gallimore set off for an adventure 6000 miles from home, immersed herself in different cultures and became addicted to new ways of learning, loving and laughing that would define the rest of her life. Join Wandering Wanda as she leaves her loving, rural Pennsylvania home, crossing land and sea to pursue a nursing career on the Big Island. In paradise, she not only discovers what life can hold for one who is willing to take risks, but she discovers the love of a man which will also last a lifetime. Along the way, many friendships are developed and escapades are enjoyed, whetting her appetite to experience the wide, wide world. Wanda loves to interact with nouns, i.e. people, places and things. She says, "Meeting people from different countries and cultures is high on my priority list. I long to see, sense, and experience places. I'm a spin the globe kind of a girl. Wherever my finger touches, as the globe comes to a stop, (hopefully on land) is a place I want to go. I like to interact with things such as touching history, smelling exotic aromas, and seeing rugged landscapes that are beyond my imagination." Wanda Gallimore is a sought after speaker, leader and event planner. She is frequently invited to area schools to read her first published work, Lions in the Moonlight. Her article, A Time Piece, used in her many speeches, was recently published in The Story Teller, a magazine for writers. She is an experiential writer, and maintains a blog of her mission and exploration travels with her husband of nearly 50 years. She remains active post retirement, and loves to live life with frivolous ferociousness. Visit: http://awishcalledwanda.com
