We believe that the desire to travel is characteristically human; it is the need to move, to fire the imagination, to satisfy curiosity, to make new friends and to experience the unknown.
We are Elke and Sarah. The Netherlands is our home country, but the world is our oyster. We are fortunate to be able to travel far and wide and discover beautiful destinations all over the world. In July 2014 decided to share our travel experiences. On a shoestring or as a king, however you wander; our platform aims to offer firsthand information about unique destinations, culinary spots, off the beaten track destinations, natural treasures, city trips and much more. So from backpacking to luxury travel, from the great capitals of the world to quaint little villages and beautiful landscapes, let wander-lust tag along with you as your virtual travel companion.
In 2020 Wander-Lust published their first travel book; Off the Beaten Track (NL). It’s about the unique and less visited places in the world, where mass tourism is yet to be found. Later, the second book followed in 2023; 110 Bijzondere Bestemmingen (NL) which sold over 8000 copies.
With a team of writers from the Netherlands and London, we travel around the world to find the best and less traveled places. Check our IG account @wanderlust.nl for updates and inspiration!
