Welcome to Cervo Wanderlust, a place for Tony & Teresa to share photos and stories of our travels.
We are Tony and Teresa Cervo, and Cervo Wanderlust is our place for saving and sharing our travels.
In 2024, we started pulling back from social media. What we didn't anticipate was the flood of friends and family telling us how much they will miss our adventures. While traveling, we would do photo dumps at the end of each day, with a write-up of what we did that day. It was primarily a way for us to journal our trip and have a place to refer back to when we wanted to remember the name of a restaurant, find a particular photo, etc. Turns out many of our friends and family members were following along with our journeys.
Like we did on social media, this site will be a place for us to save our photos and travel stories. We'll also include the occasional article with tips and/or lessons learned, product reviews (we don't currently have *any* sponsorships or affiliate programs, but if that ever changes, it will be made very clear at the top of each review), etc.
Use the Destinations dropdown in the menu, or the links further down on this page, or on any post sidebar to see posts for that destination.
