Wanderlust 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.[6] Wanderlust was privately purchased in January 2021 by Kipouros - a former AI entrepreneur - with Hughes remaining on board as founding editor, frequently hosting travel events and speaking on Wanderlust: Off The Page[7] podcast.
Wanderlust features travel photography, and for the past 26 years it has hosted the Wanderlust Travel Photo of the Year competition which is the largest amateur photography competition in the UK.[citation needed]
The Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards are chosen by readers who vote for their favourite destinations.[8] Each year, the awards are held in London, the 2021 Wanderlust Reader Travel Awards were hosted by naturalist Steve Backshall at Kensington Palace, and in 2022 the ceremony took place at the Tower of London hosted by author and television presenter Simon Reeve.[citation needed]
