Lyn Hughes

Project Advisor

Lyn is something of a legend in the travel business. In 1993 she, along with her late husband Paul, started a small travel magazine, working from their back bedroom. In the 25 years since then Wanderlust has grown to be the pre-eminent UK travel magazine, often covering lesser known countries of the world. Lyn is a very hands-on Editor-in-chief of Wanderlust, is an award-winning writer and manages to find time amidst her work for the magazine to travel constantly; it is no surprise that The Times described Lyn as one of the 50 most influential people in travel.

Lyn also organises the Wanderlust Guide Awards each year, which sees the winning Guides receiving bursaries which they can donate to a charitable community project of their choice. This, plus her many travels, makes Lyn a perfect choice as a Project Advisor for the Foundation, helping the Trustees to select community projects worthy of our support.
