The Epic Beauty of Oman in Photos

Hi there!

I'm Emily—an Australian who's been living and working in Southeast Asia since 2015. A writer by trade, there's nothing I love more than telling a good story.

Wander-Lush is a travel blog that documents my daily adventures in colour, culture and creativity. Here you'll find stories about traditional textiles, responsible and slow travel, cultural immersion, and urban exploration. I also share guides, itineraries and tips from my travels around Asia, the Caucasus, and beyond.
