Wanderlust

Wanderlust is the UK’s leading magazine for independent-minded and adventurous travellers. Founded in 1993, Wanderlust combines the right mix of wildlife, activities and cultural insight – not to mention inspirational writing and photography – packed with truly impartial information and fresh ideas.

How far can you travel on £250? How about a week on Spain’s Camino de Santiago, a long weekend In Jordan, or six days in Kosovo or Morocco – just a handful of the budget adventures undertaken by Wanderlust readers for our 25 trips under £250 special feature. Find out how they all got on (including one rescue by coast guard) in our trial issue.

Also in the trial issue are two true trips of a lifetime: a 14-page guide to visiting Antarctica, and TV naturalist Mark Carwardine’s account of meeting mountain gorillas in Uganda.

Plus, exploring Israel, walking the new Wales Coast Path, city guides to Calcutta and Vilnius, and a visual guide to taking a Japanese steam bath (remember: naked is normal!).

The Future of Travel

As Wanderlust marks its 30th anniversary, we gaze three decades into the future to see how new technologies, climate change and shifting attitudes will affect the way we travel the world…

 

We look back at how Wanderlust and travel itself have changed in the past 30 years

Capital Region, USA

Sixty years after the March on Washington and Dr Martin Luther King’s era-defining ‘I Have a Dream…’ speech, Black history is finally being told across the Capital Region
