Meet the women behind The Collective — writers, thinkers, travelers, builders, and storytellers exploring life through travel, food, wellness, fashion, fitness, culture, and business. Each voice is distinct. Each story is lived. Together, they believe the best things are built with intention, over time.
Sienna Vale
Founding Editor · Travel & Financial Freedom · Based in Thailand
Sienna left the United States in 2024 in search of something many people quietly want: more time, more freedom, and a life that felt sustainable. Now based in Chiang Mai, Thailand, she writes about affordable living abroad, slow travel, financial freedom, and building a life with intention. As the founding editor of Wondrwell, Sienna documents the realities of long-term travel, relocation, budgeting, and what it truly takes to create a life on your own terms. Her next chapter begins in Italy, where new stories await.
Elara Solari
Food & Home · Based in Tuscany, Italy
Elara believes food should nourish more than appetite; it should nourish the spirit. After stepping away from the demanding world of fine dining in Milan, she returned to her family’s roots in Tuscany to rediscover a slower, more meaningful relationship with cooking. Now, through seasonal meals, intimate gatherings, and thoughtful storytelling, Elara writes about food, home, and the quiet rituals that make everyday life feel beautiful. She believes the best meals are shared, deeply felt, and made with intention.
Liora Vance
Wellness · Based in Sedona, Arizona
Liora believes wellness begins when we stop treating ourselves like projects to fix. After years working in executive wellness, she stepped away from fast-paced corporate life in search of something more sustainable, a way of living rooted in balance, ritual, and restoration. Now based in Sedona, she writes about holistic wellness, herbalism, intentional living, and the everyday practices that support healing from the inside out. Through Haus of Nourish, Liora explores the connection between mind, body, and spirit with a grounded, thoughtful approach to well-being.
