Wanderlust (magazine)

Wanderlust is a travel magazine from the UK that focuses on adventurous and cultural journeys as well as special interest travel. It is released ten times a year. Founded in 1993 in Windsor, Berkshire by Paul Morrison and Lyn Hughes, the magazine was created to fill a gap they noticed in publications that combined their passions for wildlife, activities, and cultural experiences. After the passing of Morrison in December 2004, Hughes stepped up to become the publisher, managing director, and editor-in-chief. In 2008, the Haymarket Group acquired a share of the magazine.
