What's on your 'wish list'?
- Here at Travelsampler.world we love to travel. We’re curious and keen to sample the amazing breadth of experiences our planet offers. What are you thinking about? Where would you like to go? What’s special and why?
Tell us at ideas@travelsampler.world. We’d love to be inspired by your ideas.
Here’s a few on our ‘wish list’…
- The Entombed Warriors and the far reaches of the Great Wall
- The Silk Road, rich in history and so important to trade in days gone by. Johanna Lumley explains here.
- The Northwest Passage across the top of the world
- The Panama Canal which is an extraordinary engineering feat
- The Wildebeest Migration across the Serengeti – great images at National Geographic!
- Sri Lanka for a lush tropical experience against a complex history
- Scandinavia because we haven’t yet sampled this distinct aesthetic and equitable society
- South America – so much yet to see. Starting with the Amazon, Atacama Desert, Machu Pichu, Carnivale and moving on to more remote and less frequently explore destinations (stepping off to the Galapagos anyone?!).
Every year around 1.5million wildebeest (also called gnu) migrate in an 800km loop across the Serengeti plains driven by seasonal rains and a search for pasture. It is an extraordinary sight to drive into the middle of the herd and see wildebeest and the compatible zebras to the horizon. Naturally, the massive herds attract predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards, who co-exist in an exquisite balance. In February, 2020 we observed the Serengeti ecosystem at close range and better than any nature documentary could ever show. The abundant wildlife together with the magnificence of the Serengeti plains, the Ngorongoro crater and the Great Rift Valley made an unforgettable and unique trek. Stunning.

Partner with Travelsampler.world
Travelsampler.world is for like-minded travellers who have an eye to travelling well while exploring both ‘bucket-list’ destinations, and locations somewhere off the beaten track. We’re independent, curious and interested in the world. We only talk about destinations we’ve visited in person, which is why you see the disclaimer above. Integrity and trust demand we are honest with our fellow travellers. Third party relationships will be openly disclosed.
Please know that we don’t work for free or because ‘it’s good for our brand’, we don’t ‘promote’ unrelated or untested content, and the only guest contributions we accept are short, verified submissions from fellow travellers that are relevant to the destination. We’re interested in meaningful business relationships that meet your needs and ours.
If that sounds like a good starting point, drop us a line with ‘Proposal’ in the subject line and let’s talk.
