Once Amanda got a taste of wanderlust she was hooked as inevitably happens to travelers and explorers. She began working as a waitress, saving her tips so she could travel the world. And she did, to far reaching places such as Latin America and Southeast Asia. But she wanted more, more adventure, more experiences more exploration. So she began to travel to countries in the midst of wars including Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and Syria. As others who find themselves traveling the globe, she began to earn a income while abroad […]

You started your blog in 2015. What or who inspired you to become a travel blogger? You’re right – my blog was launched in 2015, when I began my first solo international journey around Europe. The blog was meant to be a platform for me to catalogue my travels and share travel tips, itineraries and budget hacks. I wanted it to be a useful resource for others looking to visit the same destinations as I’d visited. Some travel bloggers that inspired me were IAmAileen, World Of Wanderlust and The Blonde […]

I’m in a remote Peruvian village in the Sacred Valley, deep in the heart of the Inca world. Surrounded by mist-shrouded mountains and cobalt blue lakes, agrarian rhythms define life here, just as they have for centuries. I feel as far off the beaten track as I can possibly get. I’m spending the afternoon with the women of the village. Traditionally dressed with their long black hair in precise plaits, it’s as if time has stood still. They are weaving experts, using the same techniques, materials, natural dyes and patterns […]

A smile of contentment warms the crisp evening breeze, as my Big-Easy reality eases back to its default setting: A humbled existence devoted to saving lives, amidst the controlled chaos of a stressful clinical environment. Just a few days back, the dullness of my royal blue nursing scrubs surrendered to the brightness of my candy pink hiking suit. The travel bug took an awful bite! It is nudging this brown-eyed, fun-size wanderlust to defy conventional wisdom, and listen to the tiny voice that whispers: “GO…. There’s nothing stopping you!” THE […]

If you are thinking that the title of this article sounds a little familiar, you’re surely a marvel fan and will enjoy reading the rest of this blog. Traveling and travel writing has been more than just a profession for me. Exploring new places, immersing in a foreign culture, meeting new people, and taking up extreme adventure tours; all this completes me.   I like to do this the local way, as I feel that traveling like a local provides an unmatched insight about the destination. And for that, I take […]

To be in the shoes of a wanderer is to fully experience life and to ponder our own existence. However some places carve out a special place in your heart – places you must return to again. There is a mystery of why this ‘pull of attraction’ exists within yourself and no amount of restraint can stop you from revisiting. For me, Bohol in the Philippines is that place. It has been exactly four years now since I visited Bohol, its capital city and nearby towns. Those natural attractions—the wonderful […]

Road Trips. Have you ever wondered why people go on road trips, when we can easily book a fully planned holiday from one of the local travel agencies? Planning and booking a road trip is a downright hassle, but I promise that once you’re on the road, you’re not going to regret it. Trust me, I’ve just gotten back from my own road trip to the South Island of New Zealand last week, and now I’m already itching to go on another one. So, road trips: why do we do […]

Dreaming of Sydney. Very few of my friends can say that they have traveled across the globe to one of the happiest countries in the world, second only behind Iceland. I’m talking about Australia, and I would have to say that I agree, wholeheartedly with that statement. When I first flew into Sydney, I couldn’t help but notice the picturesque view of the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge. It is such a romantic city, yet it’s so far away from my normal everyday reality of life back in the United States. As a single […]

This book is a fast, engaging and at times humorous read – highlighting stories from the author’s childhood trips gallivanting with his family around the world. They visit exotic destinations – remote islands in the middle of the South Pacific and fish in Piranha infested waters – always in search of “local” non touristy experiences. The author’s father was infected with wanderlust, taking trips without making many plans and always bringing along a keen interest in fishing. This formula often combined to create memorable experiences. The first story begins when […]

Probably the biggest lesson that has shown itself to my wife and me since our launch from material life into a wanderlust spin is, simply, peace. We thought we were setting out to explore the world and, on a deeper level, to shed attachments to the lives we had individually created, which were then brought into our new marriage. Not that those things haven’t happened. It’s just that the higher purpose seems to have been what Gandhi notoriously told us all to do: We are becoming the change that we […]
