You can never get enough wanderlust inspiration. The monthly feature Fearless Wanderlust includes recent travel news, articles, and inspiration to encourage you to put more travel adventure in your life! Check out this month’s version.
Professional Photographer for Your Travels
I’ve had a handful of trips where I come back and I have zero photos with me or my travel companions in them! To fix this and to provide a priceless souvenir, Flytographer allows you to hire a photographer at your destination. The package options range from a quick 30-minute session to a more involved shoot. Would you use Flytographer?
Airplane Food?
I’ve heard stories from several friends about how the airplane food was their downfall when traveling internationally. As this article says, even adventurer Anthony Bourdain avoids airplane food! I would suggest buying food in the airport before you board the plane.
Iceland
In my last Fearless Wanderlust post, I shared a report about Iceland and the concerns about tourism’s effects on the environment and culture. Mapping Megan posted this informative article about what to know before you travel to Iceland.
Speaking of destruction from tourism, Thailand has shut down tourism in three more islands off the coast of Phuket: Koh Khai Nok, Koh Khai Nui, and Koh Khai Nai. With more than 4,000 daily visitors, you can imagine the destruction of beaches and reefs that the traffic can cause.
Houston, Texas
At the beginning of the month, I spent Labor Day Weekend exploring and eating my way through Houston, Texas! It was a fun trip focused around food, art, and friends. Check out the three posts about Houston here.
Don’t Swim with Wildlife
A kayaker was caught on a drone video swimming with an orca. Now, his act is being investigated by the Department of Conservation as “harassing, disturbing, injuring, or killing a marine mammal” and is punishable by two years in jail or up to a quarter million dollar fine. It is illegal to swim 100 meters of a whale.
Why Vacation?
The next time you’re thinking about not booking a vacation, think about this Travel + Leisure article. Studies show more vacations and living near a large park are good for your mental and physical health!
