About

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” -Howard Thurman

Hi, I’m Brittany Kulick, a scuba diving, bungy-jumping, ice cream addict who’s caught the travel bug in a big way! In March of 2015, I launched The Sweet Wanderlust and in August of 2015, I said goodbye to Texas and a career in marketing to explore this great big world and share it with you!

Since then, over 360,000 people have relied on The Sweet Wanderlust to recommend the greatest desserts and the best adventures. Whether planning a girls’ weekend in New York, discovering Melbourne’s best freakshakes, or mapping an epic road trip through New Zealand, The Sweet Wanderlust is the go-to resource for people with a sweet tooth and a taste for adventure.

I remember when going to new restaurants and findi I remember when going to new restaurants and finding cute food was the highlight of my week. I loved researching fun desserts and, of course, I loved the experience of sitting in a restaurant, chatting with the staff, and trying something new. It's been a while since anything has felt "normal," so I'm finding new ways to get that same newness "high."
Here are a few recent endeavors I'm enjoying:
❶ Pretending to be the Willy Wonka of ice cream: I got a personal-sized ice cream maker and I'm testing out crazy flavors. Thanks to your suggestions, I've got a page full of ideas that range from fairly tame (s'mores, Nutella + fluff, and honey + fruit) to absolutely bonkers (peanut butter + pickle and blue cheese + balsamic strawberry)
❷ Hiking: 5 years ago, I hiked Mount Alfred in New Zealand with @miss.unicorn.cupcake and @cassidyexplores. Y'all, I was NOT prepared. It was straight up for hours and cold at the top because of the elevation! Hiking in Texas is a whole lot more flat, and the only obstacles are mountain bikers, but I'm loving getting outside. 
❸ Ukuleleing: I'm still working on my musical endeavors, and I'm learning Closer by The Chainsmokers now!
💖
I hope you're doing things that bring you joy right now. Do you have any crazy ice cream flavors I should add to my list!?

I’m not sure there’s anywhere in the world that embodies the quirky, cute, cool side of Tokyo quite like the Kawaii Monster Cafe. Harajuku girls danced on top of a spinning cake in the middle of the rainbow technicolor restaurant and the food was all kinds of Instaworthy. My Harajuku experience wouldn’t have been the same without it, but I’ve learned that future travelers to Japan won’t get the same experience I did... they’re closing their doors on January 31.

If you can, now is the time to support local businesses you love to make sure they’ll still be around when you want to visit them again.
If you follow any Texans on social media, you know If you follow any Texans on social media, you know all about the “snow storm” we got this weekend. I got all bundled up to take snow photos to promote the giveaway I’m doing with @keenstride... and in true Texas fashion, the snow had turned to rain! So enjoy a photo of me from the weekend with a snowy background from a trip I took to Croatia in 2018!

Just kidding (mostly)! I've hit the ground running with copywriting work this year and I'm so lucky to work with really fun brands and businesses that allow me to be creative every day! What do you love most about your job?
💖Good vibes only in 2021💖 Do you set new yea 💖Good vibes only in 2021💖
Do you set new year’s resolutions, intentions, or choose a word of the year? I used to set resolutions, but ever since my “cook a new meal every week” one in 2010 failed miserably and was abandoned by March, I’ve been a “word of the year” kind of girl. Past words have included peace, presence, value, love. This year, I think my word is going to be outside— a good fit after a year spent mostly indoors. I’m hoping 2021 will bring the opportunity to think outside the box, get outside my comfort zone, and -of course- get outside the barriers of this country! 
💖
What about you?
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it's bee I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it's been a 💩 year for most of us. It's been emotionally exhausting and I experienced grief in a more personal way than I ever have before. But in the midst of the uncertainty, loss, and a lifestyle change, some pretty cool things happened, too:
🧳 I led my first Eat, Pray, and Fall in Love with Israel tour with @abrahamtours and @abrahamhostels and celebrated Purim with @miss.unicorn.cupcake and @hannahlogan21 -- I couldn't have asked for a better last trip or travelmates
🎶In quarantine, I taught myself to play the ukulele I bought at a night market in Thailand back in 2015
📝 I started a freelance writing career to earn $$ when my travel blog lost 90% of its income
🎓 I was accepted into a graduate school program for library science
👩🏻‍💻 The freelance writing took off and I earned more through writing in 8 months than my travel blog made last year.
👩🏻‍🏫As a result, I decided *not* to go to grad school after all (I'm kind of digging the flexibility writing provides, so I've deferred another semester until I see what 2021 brings)
👩🏻‍🍳I've loved having a kitchen for the first time in 5 years and have made boeuf bourguignon, shakshuka, bulgogi, hummus, and so many more fun meals I first experienced while traveling-- AND I haven't even burned anything down, so I'm totally winning! 
🐶The support I've received from friends in unexpected places has been absolutely overwhelming-- whether treats dropped off on my porch, cards in the mail, memes in my DMs, or texts to make sure I'm ok, I appreciate you.
❤️
If you've had a hard 2020, know you're not alone. I don't think January 1, 2021 is going to be the magic cure... but I'm looking forward to a fresh calendar and a year's worth of adventures and friendship and opportunities. It's really easy to focus on the 💩 (that's where I thought this post was going to go when I started, but I found the 🌈) Tell me something good that happened to you this year!
Current OOO message: Thanks so much for getting in Current OOO message: Thanks so much for getting in touch but I am currently buried in a pile of CRUNCH that’s so deep, it may take a few days to eat my way out of here! Thanks for your patience and I look forward to replying once I’ve figured out how to remove the chocolate from the keyboard. [Gifted]

Can I see a show of hands for the chocolate-lovers out there?! 🍫❤️🙋🏻‍♀️
