Momma Wanderlust – Cultural Family Travel Blog

I’m Tykesha, a wife and momma with a major case of wanderlust.  But I’m also the writer, voice, and photographer behind Momma Wanderlust. I launched Momma Wanderlust at the end of 2018 with the mission to encourage and inspire parents to travel with their children to unique places.  My aim is to help parents to find fun ways to explore the heart of each destination by incorporating a bit of history and culture into every family trip.  As part of that, I provide recommendations and guidance on destinations, historical and cultural tours, accommodations, activities, and itineraries.  

Why Work With Momma Wanderlust?

Authority

I’m one of the few family travel bloggers who are also an expert on Black history and culture.  I’ve traveled to all seven continents.  And as a family, we’ve stayed in large resorts, small cabins, and remote tiny homes.  

 High-Quality Photography and Writing

I’m a journalist by trade and have written and produced for television news outlets, as well as provided freelance writing services for print, and online magazines. I have also provided high-quality photography assets for clients including images that have been used in a destination marketing organization promotional brochure. 

Integrity

I enjoy working with brands that help to make family travel easier.  My readers trust my opinion, which is why I only like to partner with brands that my family uses and loves.  As a brand ambassador, my aim is to create and share amazing content for brands that my family loves and to expose my readers to the brands, so they will love them as well.  All reviews on my blog are my unadulterated opinions.  I also don’t allow guest posts on my website, and we never promote any products or services that we don’t truly love. 

Insurance

I maintain a $1 million E&O policy, through Berkshire Hathaway.  I’ve never had a claim. My current policy goes through 2023.
