Our Story

We're a team of explorers, storytellers, and photographers with a shared passion for authentic travel experiences.

Wanderlust was born in 2013 when a group of friends returned from a life-changing backpacking trip across Southeast Asia. What started as a simple travel journal to document our adventures has grown into a community of like-minded travelers seeking meaningful connections with people and places around the world.

Over the past decade, our small team has expanded to include travel writers, photographers, and local experts from across the globe. Together, we've explored over 80 countries, always seeking out the hidden gems, authentic experiences, and stories that often go untold.

Our mission is simple: to inspire curiosity about the world and provide practical advice for travelers who want to venture beyond the typical tourist experience.
