Wanderlust (magazine)
Wanderlust is a British travel magazine, covering adventurous, cultural and special interest travel.[1] It is published ten times a year. It was established in Windsor, Berkshire in 1993 by Paul Morrison and Lyn Hughes, who had observed the absence of a publication combining their interests in wildlife, activities and cultural insights. Morrison died in December 2004 and Hughes took on the roles of publisher, managing director and editor-in-chief. In 2008, the Haymarket Media Group bought a stake in the business.
