Our mission

Our mission in life is to help people follow their travel dreams and inspire them to discover our beautiful and diverse world.

We want to spice up your journeys with unique and authentic experiences that create lasting memories, and also provide you with valuable tips and advice on how to plan your trips. And do all of that while still having the stability of your job and your home.

How can Wanderlust Designers help you?

We know how little time those of us with full-time jobs have for planning our vacations and preparing for them.

That’s why we’re doing all of the hard work for you. On Wanderlust Designers, you’ll find lots of information on planning vacations. We provide itineraries and travel guides for specific destinations; tips on how to get around – whether it be renting a car or using public transport; where to stay; packing lists; inspiring stories and much more.

Besides that, we’ve started providing Gift guides as well. We know how hard it is to find gifts for people who love travel – especially if you are on a trip yourself! So we wanted to help you out as much as we could!

We know that we don’t cover every single destination in the world, and that’s why we have a full bunch of articles on how you can plan your own trips. No more wondering about where to start!

Our story

Hi again!

We’re Wanderlust Designers, and we’re going to help you travel.

We’ve explored our own countries and places all over the world, too! Some of the most “exotic” destinations include Japan, Easter Island, Patagonia, Bolivia, Morocco, and more, and more. And we’ve done some very interesting things, too, including hiking a lava field in Hawaii before sunrise to take pictures of boiling hot lava flowing into the ocean!

And since we were getting a lot of questions that boiled down to “how do you do it?!”, we decided to share the knowledge!

That’s how Wanderlust Designers was started – to share our trips with others and show what we did so that others can do them, too.

With time, we decided to include planning tips – since we’re not covering every single destination in the world, it’s important that you, our readers, can plan your own vacations.

How do we differ from other blogs?

We like to mix relaxing with adventure.

We watched the sunrise over the ocean and we also stared right into the stream of hot lava.

We hopped into an onsen under a starry night but we also jumped in the ocean and snorkeled with manta rays.

We stepped across the edge of the cliff and abseiled waterfalls in a jungle but we also enjoyed a natural hot spring with a cocktail in our hands.

We slept in a salt hotel, ate a raw sea urchin and watched the dancing northern lights.

We also experienced an earthquake, got altitude sickness and spent our first night in romantic Hawaii in an anti-romantic emergency room of a hospital.

We’re two utterly clumsy explorers, with full-time jobs, who love to admire the beauty, enjoy the adventure and experience the uniqueness.

Because this is what creates wonderful lasting memories, and those are the best things about travelling.

And that’s why we love to do it! 

And we like to mix it up

Another thing is, we plan our trips so that we enjoy both cities and nature.

One day we enjoy a Michelin-starred restaurant, the next day we’re having a picnic in the mountains.
One day we put on a snorkel, and the next day the hiking shoes.
One day we ride a horse, the next day we ride a Shinkansen.
One day we throw in some active movement, the next day we might just relax in a wellness.

This way allows us to experience a country or place differently and makes for many great and diverse experiences.

By the end of our trips, we typically have a heap of dirty laundry, a bunch of full memory cards, and loads of memories that (usually) make us say – wow, what an amazing time we’ve had!

If this sort of travelling sounds attractive to you, then Wanderlust Designers is here for you!

We truly hope you find our blog useful and entertaining. Thanks for stopping by and we wish you happy travels!
