About Wanderlust Nerds
Where travel meets fandom.
Wanderlust Nerds is a blog for those of us who dream of two things: seeing the world and geeking out over our favorite movies and shows along the way.
We’re not just another travel site — we’re here for the fans who want to explore the real-world places behind the stories we love. Whether it’s wandering the dunes of Tatooine, walking the cobbled streets of King’s Landing, or catching a glimpse of the Hogwarts Express crossing a Scottish viaduct — this is your guide to cinematic adventure.
What we Cover
Wanderlust Nerds focuses on iconic pop culture destinations tied to five major fandoms (for now):
- Star Wars – From Tunisia to Skellig Michael
- Marvel – Including NYC, Edinburgh, and beyond
- Harry Potter – Real magic in London, Oxford & Scotland
- Game of Thrones – Dubrovnik, Northern Ireland & more
- Lord of the Rings – The heart of Middle-earth in New Zealand
Our Mission
To help fellow fans experience the joy of travel in a whole new way — through the lens of the worlds we grew up loving.
We believe in curiosity, storytelling, and the excitement of stepping into the very locations where cinematic history was made. This site is your passport to pop culture tourism — one franchise at a time.
