Born from a Love of Exploration
WanderLast began in 2018 when our founder, Sarah Johnson, realized that planning meaningful travel experiences was unnecessarily complicated and expensive.
After years of traveling as a journalist and experiencing both the magic and challenges of exploring new places, she envisioned a platform that would make authentic travel accessible to everyone.
Today, we've helped over 50,000 travelers discover 500+ destinations across 80+ countries. But we're just getting started.
