About Practical Wanderlust

Practical Wanderlust is run by Lia and Jeremy, who write under the combined name Liaremy. After marrying in 2016 they quit their jobs and spent a year travelling, and began the blog to share their adventures. Since 2016 the site has grown substantially, with more than 290 posts in its sitemap, a podcast, and a small team supporting the project. The blog pairs practical, budget-minded travel advice with storytelling, offering destination guides, multi-day itineraries, packing lists and travel tips, and presents travel as a tool for education, connection and social impact.

Part practical travel manual, part off-beat couple’s memoir, Practical Wanderlust reads like a conversation with two friends who plan trips meticulously and laugh through the disasters. Their voice is candid and self-deprecating, with plenty of humor and social context woven into destination guides and itineraries, and the podcast adds an easygoing, Californian-accented layer to the material. We find it especially useful for travellers who want concrete day-by-day plans and packing checklists delivered alongside human stories and responsible travel advice. The site feels warm, informative and reliably personal, ideal for curious budget-minded travellers seeking memorable, unconventional experiences.
