Travel Video Series – The Premier of my “Start Exploring Today” Travel Vlog

Ever since I started the Wanderlust Travel and Photos Blog, I have wanted to get a regular travel video series started so that I can bring you even more travel related content. I am very excited to announce that this past week I finally launched my “Start Exploring Today” travel vlog series to both IGTV and Youtube. This is a project that I am very passionate about and I cannot wait to start adding more high quality video content for you to view. I am still going to be running this blog with all of the passion and commitment that I have been for the past three years, but my hope is to use this video series to bring you new and exciting content that is just too difficult to deliver thru my blog.

The 20 Best Travel Accessories of 2021

The 20 Best Travel Accessories of 2021

Travel can be one of the most rewarding experiences you have in your life. Few other things in this world help broaden your perspective and teach you as much about the world and yourself as travel does. On the flip side, travel can also be very difficult and stressful at times. We have likely all had travel experiences that made us wonder if we’d ever get back out there and explore ever again. However, even the worst parts about travel don’t have to be that difficult or stressful. One way that you can help reduce the amount of stress that you feel when you travel and help you enjoy the experiences you have more is to have the right travel accessories with you on your trip. Having the right accessories can make you more comfortable, keep your belongings safe, and help you capture and save the special moments of your journey.

My Travel Bucket List – 2021 Edition

My Travel Bucket List – 2021 Edition

I like to say to my friends and family that I think I was born into this world far too late. I have a burning desire inside of me to explore and there are very few places in this world that haven’t already been explored. Having read books about Livingstone’s exploration of Africa and Lewis and Clark’s exploration of the American Northwest, I think it would have been so amazing to venture out into the unknown, not knowing what you would see or what experiences you would have. However, while I may not be the first to explore the amazing landscapes on this planet, that doesn’t mean that experiencing and exploring them won’t help me expand my horizons and grow as a person. That’s why I like to keep a travel bucket list of the travel adventures I want to have before I die. By sharing this list with you, I hope to ignite in you some of the passion for travel and exploration that I have burning inside of me.

Let’s face it, in many aspects the year 2020 was an absolutely miserable year. Tens of millions of people around the world were infected with the Coronavirus and millions of people lost their lives. Even for those who managed to avoid getting sick, our lives were thrown into turmoil as countries shut down, quarantines were put into place, and our daily routines were largely effected. Many industries have been critically effected by the shutdowns, quarantines, and restrictions, and one of those that was hardest hit was the travel and tourism industry. With most countries closing their borders, airlines, hotels, restaurants, and tourism-centered businesses have really struggled to stay afloat. However, now that the calendar has turned and vaccinations are starting to get rolled out, it seems like the long nightmare of 2020 may soon finally be behind us. In anticipation of international travel opening back up, I have outlined some of my Top 2021 Travel Destinations to start inspiring you to travel again.

Attention Travelers – Introducing My New Travel Discussion Forums

Attention Travelers – Introducing My New Travel Discussion Forums

When I started this blog a few years ago, my primary goal was to pass along some of the travel related wisdom that I have picked up over my years of travel.  However, it was also to spark conversation about travel and learn some things from you, my fellow travel enthusiasts.  The comments, tips, feedback, and encouragement that I have gotten from you in the comments of my articles over the years have been spectacular.  Some of the great tips and feedback you have provided I have already factored into my own travel planning processes and even passed on some of the wisdom to others.

The 20 Most Beautiful Day Hikes in the World

The 20 Most Beautiful Day Hikes in the World

For some people, sitting back and relaxing while traveling is just not in their DNA.  I know that I am one of these people.  When I travel, I always have to be doing something active.  Depending on where I am traveling, it is typically kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, sky diving, or my favorite travel activity, which is hiking.  For me, there is no better way to appreciate the beauty of an area than to hike thru some of its most breathtaking landscape.  In fact, I love hiking so much that sometimes I will plan an entire trip around a single hike that I want to do.

My 2020 Travel Bucket List

My 2020 Travel Bucket List

When I was a kid, my parents bought be a National Geographic subscription and I used to page through those magazines and imagine visiting the far-away places that I read about on those pages.  I would pin the pull-out maps on my wall and circle the places that I really wanted to see.  My imagination would run wild as I thought about what it would be like to visit some of the amazing destinations and experience some of the wonderful cultural festivals I read about.  I guess you could say that is when I first started to put together a travel bucket list, which is something I still keep track of to this day.

The 25 Top Beaches in the World to Visit

For many travelers, finding the perfect beach is the key to finding the perfect travel destination.  For these travelers, there is no interest in the hustle-and-bustle of sightseeing in a busy city or the sweat and breathlessness that goes with alpine hiking.  Instead, they would prefer to trade the subway pass or hiking boots for a beach towel and some sunscreen.  After all, soft sand, crystal blue waters, and lots of sunshine can really help recharge your batteries.
