Welcome, traveler. My name is Winkari, and I’m historically what you would call an off-and-on WoW player. Since participating in the original 2004 Beta, I’ve had periods of months and years that I’ve taken a break from this game. But now, as a forty-something guy whose video game hobby always finds itself coming back to World of Warcraft, it is currently the only game I play.
Azeroth provides an escape from my everyday life. I’m happily married and have two wonderful daughters, but still savor the moments I get to log in and be transported to another place. A magical place. A place that lets me be and do what I can’t in the real world. I love questing through zones in an expansion, getting lost in the story that ultimately comes to a climax in its dungeons, raids, and cinematics. I love being met with little “surprises” throughout questing and adventuring, always thinking to myself, ”Am I the only one that feels this way?”
The Journey is my way of sharing these moments with others who play the game the same way — casually, curiously, and with an appreciation for the details. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.

In this episode, I discuss my time finishing up my delve achievements for War Within, unlocking and exploring Old Instances, questing through Vashj'ir, and participating in the recent holidays of Brewfest, Hallow's End, and Day of the Dead!
