Wanderlust: Travel Journals (Gold Star Program) Gold Star Wanderlust is an international platform for sharing travellers' tales from the road, a place for photographers and writers to publish their personal experiences of places and people. After five years online, we are opening up to more work from those on the road, their trip reports and websites. Please consider becoming a member or a patron to support this goal of global connection. Thank you.
