Welcome to World in Focus Travel!

Hey there! I’m Vanessa Dewson, the founder and chief wanderer behind World in Focus Travel. I’m thrilled to have you here on a journey where the world’s most captivating destinations come to life through vivid storytelling, rich photography, and insider tips.

Our Mission

At World in Focus Travel, our mission is simple: to inspire and empower you to explore the world with confidence and curiosity – with a camera in hand! Whether you’re an intrepid explorer or a curious armchair traveler, our blog is designed to ignite your wanderlust and provide practical, heartfelt insights to make your adventures unforgettable.

My Journey

My love for travel began with my grandmother who invited me to join her on a trip to Türkiye with the University of Manitoba when I was only 13. It was a course on ancient archeology and architecture. I learned so much on that trip compared to what I learned that same school year. I then grabbed every opportunity to travel I could, from an exchange in France to living in Mauritius when I was 16 and doing an internship in South Africa when I was 25. I’ve now visited over 50 countries and all seven continents with no signs of slowing down.

Through this blog, I aim to share those experiences with you plus trips and tricks I’ve learned along the way to make travel a real part of your life. My goal is to offer you a genuine glimpse into the places I visit, along with the tips and recommendations that come from real-life exploration as a female traveller, travel advisor and award-wining photographer.
