Welcome...

Thank you for all your congratulations on both our r 25th anniversary (I still can’t believe it!) and our sparkling new look. It is most gratifying to know how loved Wanderlust is. Never forget that it is your magazine, so please do continue to send through your feedback and ideas. With the night’s drawing in, this is always the time when thoughts turn to planning exotic adventures for f the following year. With that in mind, we bring you our annual Travel Hot List of o the places that are getting us excited for 2019 (p56). I hope that you draw some inspiration from it. One of the destinations that keeps popping up on my personal travel radar is Georgia, which I have been wanting to visit for a long time. If you are intrigued by it, too, then join me on one of our new Wanderlust Journeys (p126) next summer and we can discover it together. But back to the coming few weeks. If you are panicking about Christmas gifts for f your travel enthusiast friends, fear not; we have compiled some great ideas on page 148. And, of course, a year’s worth of Wanderlust magazines (p78) is the gift that keeps on giving. Seasons greetings,
