When I travel, I always look for what is unique about a new place, and how that relates to universal themes. What do people for fun in Portugal? What games are common in Thailand? How do people create happiness? What does 'romance' mean in Slovakia? What about India, Japan, Germany and Argentina?
Wanderlust Box is my research project. As I step into new cultures and learn about differences, I will send gifts and their stories back to you. With Wanderlust box, you're not going to receive the typical souvenirs that might come to mind when you think of a foreign country. You're going to discover the hidden story.

Each box is going to differ monthly depending on the location it is sent from and what is going on in that location at that time. Although the contents are for now a mystery (that's part of the fun, right?), I guarantee that you find the contents worth the price or you can have 110% of your money back ($43) for that month.
There will be two themes:

For this box, you have to trust my (weird, I know) tastes that I will choose the best gifts from around the world. Expect a variety of themes, ranging from tastes, games, crafts, and other items of cultural significance. Every box will contain one “big” item, and then a plethora of sweets, spices, teas and smaller samples. This is the perfect way for you to sample cultures of different cities around the globe and satisfy your own wanderlust.

Have you every wondered what 'romance' means in Kenya? Or what it means to be 'sexy' in Korea? Or how to express your 'love' in Germany? As I travel with my boyfriend, we will research what romance means in every place, and share gifts with you. Enjoy sweets, art, scents and massage oils, and so much more. Way more exciting than a chocolate of the month club or wine of the month club, this is the perfect anniversary or birthday gift for your loved one.

My goal is to make the world smaller and your place in the world larger. By sharing cultures with each other, we are able to love and appreciate more. I will do the best authentically share what I find with you, but of course keep in mind that you will be experiencing gifts through the lens of a traveler, not a local. Authenticity, love, and play are values that each box will fully embody from purchase to delivery. Not only will you be experiencing new cultures, but you will also be supporting local craftsmen, artists, and entrepreneurs from all over the world with your purchase.

My major costs now are the contents in the box and shipping (included in the price). The boxes are expensive because I want to send you good stuff. These boxes are going to travel halfway around the world to end up at your door, and I want to make sure that it was worth the trip. There is a 110% guarantee to ensure that if you don't love your box, you will receive more than your money back.
If I reach my goal on Indiegogo, I will be able to send the first batch of boxes within the next few months. I will personally choose the items for each box as I travel, and ship the box to you.
