Hi, I'm Jessica

Welcome to A Wanderlust For Life! I’m here to inspire your European travels through food and memorable experiences. You’ll find travel guides on cities throughout Europe, including some hidden gems that you don’t want to miss. This blog was started in 2014 when my husband and I sold everything and moved from the USA to Europe. We’re now settled in our home in Amsterdam and continue to travel as much as possible so we can share our experiences and tips with you. Head to my about page or check out my YouTube channel.
