I'm Karen Bryan and I'm your new Wandalust blogger. I'm looking forward to writing posts to fire up your wanderlust and get you thinking about and planning your next trip.

I aim to write posts that are informative, useful and entertaining. I'd welcome any suggestions from you about topics you'd like to see covered in Wandalust.

I have been blogging for my travel business Europe a la Carte since October 2006 but it's a whole new ball game writing for another blog which covers global travel. It's an exciting challenge for me but for you the proof of the pudding will be in the (r)eating!
