Life Four Months Ago
Tired of the new normal? Do you miss the walls around you feeling like a safe haven instead of a medium security suburban prison? Are those little spots behind your ears sore from the cute homemade mask you paid $25 in shipping on Etsy for?
The world is your oyster
It's an hour before noon in Cancale, on the coast of Brittany; head down to the edge of the sea — the port is called La Houle — in the chilly sunshine and wait, perched on a stone wall. Soon, you see them come into view, the little oyster boats, chugging into shore with their morning's catch.
Erica WagnerPublished 4 years ago in WanderLondon, Calling
In many ways, I have chosen a rather unconventional approach to describing my “digital dream vacation”. I have replaced the conditional tense with the present, attempting to depict the scene as if it were happening in the here-and-now (which for many of us is in a state of lockdown, hopes of any real vacation currently inconceivable). I intended for this piece to detail an atmospheric experience of sorts, much like a dream itself. I have chosen to obscure the exact names of places in order to leave your imagination free to roam along with me.
Isabelle EmmaPublished 4 years ago in Wander"If you want to skate, just skate"
Since I started traveling, I've met so many different kinds of people and learned so many different things from them. The stories they've been telling me is the fascinating part of my travel.
Hajeong SongPublished 4 years ago in WanderThe Stereotypical Travel Bucket List
We all want to travel. Everyone has somewhere they want to see, experience, and explore. Funny thing is, those of us "travellers at heart" have quite a few places in common. Actually, we have a lot of places in common, enough to make a list. ;)
Faith SummerPublished 4 years ago in WanderVancouver Photo Guide: Life in Colour
Hi there! Welcome to my Vancouver photo guide! :) I post a lot of photos from around Vancouver on my Instagram and I've had quite a lot of people asking me "Wow, here is that?" or "OMG I love that mural!" or "Please tell us where you take all these?"
Faith SummerPublished 4 years ago in WanderSurviving Iceland in the Winter
I awoke to a dark sky. I craned my neck to see out the window next to my bunk only to find the sun was still tucked behind the snowcapped mountains. I rubbed my swollen eyes in awe. Where I am? I thought. But then I remembered where I had landed just that morning at 5:00AM… Iceland. I was in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Natalie SchweizerPublished 4 years ago in WanderFree Things to do in Paris
Let's face it. Paris is an expensive love to have. If it's not the endless supply of macarons and croissants draining your bank account, its those pricey exhibition tickets, trips to Disneyland and daily café au laits at quaint river-side cafes. Needless to say, Paris is not the cheapest of beautiful European cities. That said, it doesn't mean that it's not possible to travel around the City of Love on a budget!
Emma StylesPublished 4 years ago in WanderVisit these 2 places in southern Thailand to avoid crowds.
OFF THE BEATEN TRACK Most of the Thailand travel guides recommend visiting Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai and of course famous Phi Phi Islands and James Bond Railay beach. Well of course they do, these are the main "must-see" places, but hey! Who said you have to follow the beaten path? I'd like to invite you for a short journey through my two favorite places in southern Thailand.
Gosia KowalewskaPublished 4 years ago in Wander10 Life Lessons From Nature
How to connect and flow with source energy for inspiration, faith, and peace of mind. It’s easy to think of nature as “out there”, something separate from us, but this incredible Universe we are a part of, connected with, are one with, can teach us a lot about life and ourselves. We experience the same cycle of birth, growth, death, and rebirth many times throughout our lives, we just resist. We struggle and fight against the elements in our environment and the ups and downs on the journey, trying to push things in the way we feel they should go or be, instead of allowing the natural flow and trusting in the process.

Chance JamesPublished 4 years ago in WanderAntevasin
So, you might be reading this upon reflection of your recent wanderlust adventures. Remembering those nights under skies and stars. Those passing days that mingled perfectly; its fulfilment and satisfaction based entirely around the square parameters of a city map in the palm of your hand. You are craving it again. To be out there in the wilderness, happily lost amidst the perfect chaos of it all. Where nobody knows who you are, nor do they care or expect anything from you but a passing smile on the streets of somewhere. Well let me tell you, that feeling that you keep homing in on constantly is not a negative one at all. It's your inner consciousness coming out, giving you a navigation to who you actually are. It’s as if the inner chemistry of your body repels the connections that it has already sought and lived through before; the paleo pull is dramatically pulling you elsewhere. But the question is to where, why and what is the journey like ahead for those who cannot remain in one place for too long?
