How to Say "anywhere" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “anywhere” is “dondequiera” — B1 level.
Examples

Wherever you go, I will find you.

There were flowers everywhere.
Dondequiera que estés, espero que seas feliz.

The 'Que' Connection
When this word is followed by 'que' to mean 'wherever you [do something]', the next action word needs a special ending (the 'subjunctive' form) because you are talking about an uncertain or hypothetical place.
Function as a Bridge
Think of this word as a bridge that links an action to any possible location without specifying which one.
One word vs. Two
Mistake: “Writing 'donde quiera' when you mean 'wherever'.”
Correction: Use 'dondequiera' as one word for 'wherever'. If you write 'donde quiera' as two words, it means 'where he/she wants' (e.g., 'Ponlo donde quiera él' - Put it where he wants).
