Good day and welcome, buenos días, buongiorno, bonjour, sawasdee, asalam aleykum - or as we say in the north - in short: Hello! I'm Sascha Tobias Tegtmeyer and I run the travel blog Just-Wanderlust.com with the associated social media channels of Strandkind Travels. Follow me on Wanderlust and Strandkind on an exciting journey through the big, wide world, with all its ups and downs, many unique experiences and curiosity about exciting travel destinations and relaxed holidays. Behind all of this, however, there is one big and important commonality that holds everything together: the love of travel, the sea and, above all, life.

What can I tell you? There are probably three things that define me: I've been writing texts since I could hold a pen. I've been traveling since I could walk. And I am so curious and full of thirst for knowledge that I always go through life with my eyes open, my ears pricked up and a sensitive instinct. That doesn't sound like much at first.
But for me and my work it's an unbeatable combination. A triad that gets me through life. And the best prerequisite for one Travel Blog to write, right? However, it would be a long way to get here. It's the dots you connect that make sense when you look back. I traveled a lot as a child, but in a distinct way wanderlust I never had.
My love of traveling didn't really take off until I was a teenager, when I started... Diving started. After I got my Open Water Diver (diving license) as a teenager, my passion for the world's oceans was immediately awakened. And I wanted to discover them all – from north to south, from east to west. I suddenly had a reason to travel - and it pulled me out into the world like a magnet!
Video – I am just one curious beach kid in the world
Please have pity on me and my limited video editing skills. This is the current one Strandkind YouTube channel trailer. I vow to do better in the future - and higher quality videos!
Traveling in the world with endless curiosity
The thrill of deep diving in Malta, exciting shark diving in the Maldives, exploring colorful coral reefs in Southeast Asia and mystical wreck diving in Egypt - the sea captivated me deeply and has never let go to this day. Especially the large fish and sea mammals, which always amaze me. The sharks, dolphins and whales. And turtles. And the manatee.
I'm just a curious beach kid in the world.

I bring all of this in my travel blog – or in other words, in my digital one travel Magazine Just Wanderlust together. I stand behind this project, Sascha Tobias Tegtmeyer, freelance journalist, author, content creator and, above all, digital creative with years of experience in print and online editorial departments. The Tender is one of my greatest passions. It is the link between experiencing and understanding and between experiencing and sharing. I am also in the online marketing segment awarded by Google.
Video – Snorkeling with the manatee
I've experienced a lot on my travels and especially while diving - really a lot of strange stories. But my encounter with the manatee was truly one of the craziest experiences I've ever had. I would therefore like to share the corresponding video with you below.
I was a late bloomer when it came to traveling
It all sounds so beautiful. I was originally a late bloomer when it came to traveling. I have never done a student exchange. For a long time my horizons stretched from Hamburg to the Mediterranean – and that was enough for me. At the tender age of 19 I discovered diving and from then on I spent a lot of time Egypt, Greece, Italy, Malta and Mallorca.
Back then, I invested every penny in my diving training and equipment, so long trips to America or Asia initially seemed unattainable and unaffordable.
Nothing could stop my desire to travel
But that never stopped me. Come to think of it, nothing has ever stopped my desire to travel. Stéphane Etrillard once said: “If you want to lead a magnificent life, define the wonderful as your everyday aspiration, instead of experiencing it as pure coincidence.” And that’s exactly what I did: It wasn’t until my mid-20s that I began to look beyond my European horizons to be enchanted by the beauty and diversity of the world. As soon as I get the wanderlust and the Wanderlust packed, there was no stopping them.
If you want to lead a magnificent life, define the wonderful as your everyday aspiration instead of experiencing it as pure coincidence.
Stéphane Etrillard
I often found myself thinking about the next one Travel planned while still lingering on a destination. And so began the travel planning for the most exciting and fulfilling time of my life, during which I had the privilege of visiting numerous amazing destinations around the globe.
Inspiration found in small and large ways
In every corner of the world, no matter how remote, I found inspiration, adventures and stories worth telling. With every step I took into foreign countries and cultures, my passion for it grew Journeys and the writing of travel reports about my experiences and adventures.
Today I share this enthusiasm and knowledge with you to inspire and support you on your own journeys. Together we will discover the most beautiful places in the world in lively reports, be enchanted by breathtaking experiences and collect unforgettable memories.

Travel blog Just Wanderlust - a creative journey beyond being an influencer
I finally started the travel blog Just-Wanderlust.com on July 1, 2016, after graduating from university. During this time I was Editor at diving magazine and was able to combine my passion for diving and traveling there too.
Many travel blogs had already existed for years at that time and I asked myself: Does the world really need another travel blog? The answer came late, but it was clear: yes, sure!
Because if you have a voice and something to say, then it is your duty to express it. And certainly writing is my expression. I'm not a good speaker and don't cut a good figure in front of the camera. But I can articulate my thoughts by writing them down. And if I inspire just one reader to finally have the courage, finally book the trip, discover a new travel destination, have a slightly better life - then the purpose of this entire undertaking will be more than fulfilled.
Vision statement
My inspiring vision for the travel blog Just-Wanderlust.com
I never needed to start without having a vision for Just Wanderlust. The best travel blogs have a goal and an idea of the future. I want my magazine to become one of the largest and most widespread in the German-speaking world. This is not megalomania. This is possible through continuous writing and constant development. But what drives me on this path?
It is the desire to positively change the lives of as many people as possible. If someone is inspired by me to book the trip, do a little more for their health with a smartwatch or think about how to look after their comfort zone then my contributions make a difference in the lives of my readers. And that's really something.
Share stories
I want to share my stories, tips, experiences and recommendations with my readers to help them better understand and appreciate the world. I want to help them achieve their dreams and explore the world with open arms and a curious mind. I can't help but do everything I can to make a difference with my reports and stories.
my motivation
The driving force behind my travel blog Just-Wanderlust.com and the articles I write is the passion to inspire people, expand their knowledge and help them experience unforgettable and relaxing trips or vacations. The meaning behind this task is my motivation and drive. But my goal is more than just travel: I want to help my readers live more fulfilling and happier lives. What else?
A creative writing process
I write each of my articles with great dedication and always strive to inspire and captivate readers. I stand 100 percent behind the content of my articles and make sure that they bear my personal signature.
My travel blog – a helpful companion
With my travel blog I want to be a reliable guide and source of inspiration for travelers, help them solve problems and challenges and show them how to get the most out of their vacation. After all, for many people a vacation is the most wonderful time of the year, when they want to gather new impressions, relax and recharge their batteries.

With my travel blog Just-Wanderlust.com I pursue the ambitious goal of reaching as many people as possible while at the same time creating awareness of the beauty and importance of travel.

So that’s me – but never alone
As I write about myself, I realize once again that I am on the right path. The road is rocky and challenging, the writing is very busy and the results are sometimes disproportionate - but if I want to find fulfillment, I have to find it in interaction with others. Finding the expression in a travel blog is not always easy.
And that's why I'm more than grateful for all the people who accompany me on my journey every day, who cheer me on, encourage me and push me to take the next steps. Without these wonderful people none of this would be possible. I am deeply grateful and humbled by all the good people in my life.
