At a young age, embarking on our biannual family road trip to West Virginia with numerous road maps in hand, I would occupy myself by finding local radio stations on my Walkman and TV stations on my portable B&W TV. The highlight of those trips though would be my patient parents letting me stop at every other service/travel plaza and rest stop along the way to play the arcade games, browse the gift shop, and pick up more maps lol. Memories by Wayne began in 2015 on Instagram as a way to share my mass collection of nature related photos to a more public audience. Sunrise/sunsets, lakes/ponds, fall leaves littering a nature trail, was sort of my "specialty" if you want to call it that. In 2015 while in the South Bend, Indiana area I decided to visit this little Japanese garden, and I filmed it. At the time I was also watching Adam the Woo's cross country back road vlogs and thought, "Hey, maybe I could do this on a smaller scale as well." In July of 2016 the official Memories by Wayne YouTube channel was born!
