Five Favorite Posts of 2017
Last year our Wanderlust blog presented tales and reflections celebrating the wide wonders of the world, from Alaska to West Africa, written by a spectrum of authors, including award-winning novelists, journalists, and essayists as well as GeoEx’s own world-wandering staffers. As always, our goal was to inform, entertain, and inspire you; we hope our stories whetted your own wanderlust.
As we begin a new year of adventure and discovery, we wanted to highlight five of our favorite staff-written blog posts from 2017!
We present them here, along with our warmest wishes for a new year full of exploration, growth, connection, and fulfillment.

The Importance of Travel in Turbulent (and Not So Turbulent) Times
By Don George
