About Us

Hi there — we’re Walter and Dotti Sanders.

We’re a married couple from Macon, Georgia, who believe the best travel memories come from saying “yes” more often than “later.”

Since meeting in 2013, we’ve shared a love for discovering new places, finding great deals, and booking adventures without overthinking it. Whether it’s scoring a bargain flight, hopping a scenic train ride, or renting a car to chase sunsets, we believe travel doesn’t have to be fancy to be unforgettable.

We fly economy, enjoy a great travel deal, and embrace the little surprises that come from taking the trip anyway — even when it’s not perfectly planned.
Booked It Anyway is our corner of the internet to share stories, itineraries, tips, and inspiration for travelers who want to do more with what they have — without waiting for “perfect.”

We travel light, laugh a lot, and never turn down a chance to explore.

Thanks for joining us on the journey!
