About

Where the Wind Takes Molly is the travel journal of Vejas and Molly. It is a record of the places we go, written down while they are still fresh, so that other travelers can use it to plan their own trips.

The name

The name is a pun. Vejas means wind in Lithuanian, so wherever Molly ends up, the wind took her there. Vejas picks a direction, Molly comes along, and this site is the record of where we landed.

About us

We travel together whenever we can, and in 2026 we walked the Camino de Santiago through Portugal and Spain. Vejas also runs Theme Park Archive, which is where our theme park visits go.

What we cover

National parks and monuments, museums, botanical gardens, castles, nature reserves and roadside stops, across the United States, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America and the Caribbean. Some are bucket-list trips. Others are short detours that turned out to be the best part of the trip, the kind of stop most people drive past. We treat them all the same.

How we write

Every place on this site is somewhere we went. We take our own photos, use our own recorded routes for long walks, and write from what happened on the day. We include the details that help you plan, like what to see, how long to allow and what to check before you go. If something was closed or was not what we expected, we say so.
