Each week, we spotlight a member of The Wander Club community and share the story behind their Token Collections. These stories remind us why we do what we do - and just how meaningful every journey can be.
John’s Journey: A Love That Still Travels
Some stories speak directly to the soul. John’s is one of them.
This week, we honor John, a devoted husband and passionate traveler whose Tokens now carry even deeper meaning. He shared:
“My wife, Alex, and I loved to travel. But we especially loved cruising. This past Christmas, I ordered our Tokens from The Wander Club to remember all the places that we had been in our short six years together. She told me that that was the greatest gift that she had ever gotten.”
What was meant to be a joyful keepsake became something even more powerful.
Just one month after receiving the Tokens, John's wife, Alex passed away unexpectedly—on the day before her 34th birthday.
“These Tokens will always remind me of all of our amazing trips together. She still travels with me as I take the Tokens and her ashes with me wherever I travel.”
John shared how emotional it’s been to revisit the places and memories they once shared:
“I’ve been sitting here looking back over some pictures and video of trips we took last year. It’s become an emotional trek as I picture traveling without her. She is definitely with me as she now resides on my mind and in my heart.”
John's love for Alex and their adventures lives on in every Token—and in every step forward.
💛 To John: Thank you for trusting us with your story. We are truly honored to play a small part in preserving your memories with Alex.
