It started in 2018 with a phone call. My friend Sonny said we should go to Russia for the World Cup — so we did. I went as a traveler, not a soccer fan. But my first day in Moscow, the whole city had been taken over by supporters from every corner of the world, and the energy floored me. That trip changed my life. I saw my first Messi goal — against Nigeria — and flew home certain of one thing: I would never miss another World Cup.
So I planned for Qatar. I went for the entire tournament, and I'd bought my ticket to the final six months early — before anyone knew who would be in it — quietly hoping for Argentina. They made it. And they won what many call the greatest match ever played.
Eight years and 100+ matches later, it's time to take this to another level. That's why I founded Wanderlust FC — a team and a community built to spread the beauty of the international soccer world. So many of you want to learn how to travel to matches the way I have. I'm here to help. Let's create some amazing experiences together.
