Hi Derek! I am still in awe of the Romanian tour you guided us on in August this year.
I look at the pictures and can’t believe how perfect you made the trip!
If you are contemplating a tour thru Wandering Earl Tours, DO IT!!!
You will never regret a moment!
Until next time, Derek!
Hey Helen – That’s so awesome to hear such feedback! And I am definitely looking forward to the next time!!
Greetings from Nepal:)
Hey Hope u will add Nepal as well in ur travel List.
I wish to be traveller like u
i am finding out if i could go on your tour.if ok,i want to ask about the tours.i am from singapore.
Hey Allysa – You can definitely join one of my tours! I have had several guests from Singapore. Just send me an email and we can look at the options and which tours you’re interested in!
Please add me to your tour offers.
Thank you.
Can’t wait to hear more about your tours…
Dude, you teased us a few weeks ago saying you’d be posting 2018 tours “soon”… WHERE ARE THEY??? 🙂 Trying to keep my autumn open for one. Thanks!
Hey Tim – They are being released, along with a brand new tours website (which was why it was delayed a little) on Tuesday!!
Hi Earl,
Please do post your experience in India. You have been an inspiration and I have travelled a lot in the country and am working on travelling to other destinations soon. I am in Bangalore India please let me know if you happen to come to Bangalore.
Will do Suryan!
¡Me gusta mucho tu blog de viajes! Siempre leo todo lo que escribes, espero unirme a algún tour pronto, sueño con visitar Asia. Supongo que hablas algo de español ya que has estado varias veces por esta parte del planeta (Latinoamérica), así que aquí va este mensaje en español, aunque sí, hablo inglés…
saludos y espero seguir leyendo sobre ti Earl.
Suerte por esos lares!
Pedro
Hey Earl, I’ve just started reading Travel blogs and I’ve read a few of your blogs and I loved them. I wanna thank you for sharing your thoughts and experience about traveling and motivating young teens such as myself, who are looking for adventure and who wanna know more about this field. Thank you
Hi, Earl? am interested in the amazing trips you offer around the world. kindly inform me how to go about so that i may join you soon. Here in Africa many tourist lands daily, its rare to see my fellow africans go out for tour and hikes.
thankyou.
Hey Charles, look around, there are many African travelers too and specifically in Kenya. But what Earl is offering is amazing. I would love to join one of his tours too.
How was the India tour? Will we see a post about it soon?
Hey Jen – The tour was another huge success! Great group and we all had a great time experiencing India in all of its craziness 🙂 Not sure if there will be a post about this one though…not sure how many posts I can write about this country! Hope you’re doing well!
Good day Earl, so nice to see how you have grown through the years and sharing your love of travel experience with others in a way which cannot be had in larger groups. I have shared your site with others, with hopes to inspire them to travel. One of those, is my son, and he has been traveling in the summer months for 3 years. It is possible , and I hope your experience will reach many.I trust you, and hope to join one of your India trips in my lifetime. Just wanted to let you know, without you knowing, how you are touching lives…….all the best!
Hey Linda – Thank you so much for that kind comment and I’m just happy that to hear that the site has had such a positive effect on some people. That’s wonderful that your son has been traveling each summer for 3 years now! And of course, I look forward to having you join one of my India trips whenever it happens to work out!

This is great! I would love to do your India tour but the October 2015 tour dates will not work for me. I hope that you offer this tour again in 2016!
Hey Victoria – Yes, there will definitely be an India tour in 2016!
Awesome, thanks! So excited to hear that! An adventure to look forward to 🙂
