It’s been a while since I last checked in here, so I thought it was time for a little update. A lot has changed for me over the past few years — in my life, travels, career and even in how I create content. I also know there are some new faces visiting my blog daily. 🙂 So, I’ve put together a Q&A that I hope will shed some light on what I’ve previously shared, where I’m at right now and where I’m headed going forwards, both as a blogger and writer. Whether you’ve been following this blog since day…

In this post, I share my thoughts on writing, travel blogging and my plans for my travel blog, Tamlyn Amber Wanderlust – Travel Writing and Photography. 1) Who or what inspired you to become a writer? It’s hard to put a finger on what exactly inspired my love of writing – I think, for me, it was just instinctual, like breathing. Since early childhood, I have always loved writing – so I always knew I was destined to be a writer. Unquestionably, in fact. (Although my dream as a child was to write and publish a novel. But, with time,…
2021 proved to be a trying year on so many levels for many of us – myself included. However, I was fortunate enough to travel more – and safely – during 2021 so there is still much to be thankful for! In this post, I share my best adventures for 2021. Looking Back on 2021: My 16 Best Adventures Here, in chronological order, are my best adventures of 2021: 1) Picking Flowers at Jamestown Flower Farm (Stellenbosch) One of my best discoveries of 2021 was undoubtedly Jamestown Flower Farm.

Last year, at the start of the global pandemic, I asked a few bloggers to share their thoughts on where they want to travel when the pandemic is over. Now, a year and a half later, life is still far from normal and we have all had to adjust to a new world, accepting that, at least for the time being, COVID-19 remains a part of it. In this post, myself and some lovely guest bloggers share the different ways that COVID-19 has changed the way we travel. How the Pandemic Has Changed the Way We Travel Some have found…

As part of the next instalment in my Guests’ Corner, a new travel interview segment on Tamlyn Amber Wanderlust, I chatted to SA Insta blogger and writer, Alicia Chamaillé of Chamaillé Online. Alicia was born in a small French village (one that no one has heard of!) – but grew up in the big city of Cape Town, famed for its gorgeous scenery. At a young age, she learnt the power of writing and the magic of words. She also learnt the beauty of capturing life in a single moment, frozen forever. Alicia is a proud dog owner, a hungry…
