When I was in eighth grade, my English teacher asked all of her students to create blogs about topics they were passionate about. No surprise: I chose to make a travel blog. When the school year ended, I decided to transfer my first blog to this site so that it wouldn’t get deleted. With the extra time I had at home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I decided to start working more seriously on my Instagram and my blog. On a bit of a whim (life is about spontaneity, isn’t it?!), I purchased a domain and web-hosting service, started learning how to use WordPress, and ended up here.
Young & Wanderlust is a travel blog with tips, stories, recommendations, and inspiration. I want to show people that traveling is a great way to broaden your horizons and learn more about the world, and you don’t have to be a certain age to start. This is where my blog name comes from—I’m young (19!) and wanderlust (I have an insatiable desire to travel and explore new cultures). In addition to travel guides, I post tips for traveling as a vegan with food allergies, based on my personal experience. I love taking pictures while I’m traveling, so you’ll see some of those as well.
Ultimately, Young & Wanderlust is a way for me to showcase my love for traveling and hopefully inspire others to do the same. I hope that you enjoy my travel blog and find it helpful. Every trip provides new adventures, and I’m excited to share them with you!
