Welcome To Wanderlust

“Travel changes you. As you move through this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life – and travel – leaves marks on you.”

– Anthony Bourdain

Travel isn’t just about going somewhere, it’s not just about seeing things, travel is about engulfing yourself in sights, sounds, smells, tastes and experiences that expand your mind and soul. It’s about losing yourself in your surroundings and rediscovering who you are and who you can be, cast away your fears and fall in love with the world and it’s people. When you find that drive to explore you’ll never look back, that catharsis is something magical and leaves you wanting more of it.

So my advice to you is the following, get a passport, go hike into the mountains where there’s no phone signal, buy that cheap flight to somewhere you’ve never been before, leave the comfort of the known for the thrill of the unknown. When you feel that itch, that constant tingling, that thought rattling around the back of your mind that just won’t leave you alone you’ll know you’re there. You’ll know you are on the path to exploring and that drive will never leave you. Welcome to Wanderlust.

My name is Zach Snead and I grew up in Kansas in a rural suburb of Kansas City. From a young age I had an extreme curiosity for other cultures but as I grew I became more concerned with normal dumb teenage things and temporarily lost that wanderlust. However when I turned 23 I lost one of the most important people in my life, my Great Grandmother who passed a week after my birthday just shy of 101 years old. It was during this time I rediscovered old photos from various slide shows she had of her past travels with my Great Grandfather, my Grandmother and even my Mom and Uncle. This reignited a flame in me that burns strong today and pushes me to explore the far reaches. Little by little over the 6 years since I have gone to new and exciting places and I don't plan to stop. I created this blog to share my experiences with everyone and hopefully be the spark that ignites the flame in all of you out there unsure whether traveling is right for you. I will try to post daily updates and weekly stories, follow me on instagram, YouTube and Twitter the links are in the menu. Never forget to keep wandering!
Zach
