Yahoo Monday unveiled its first original travel show, promising to "uncover the most interesting, extraordinary and innovative attractions around the USA" each week. Called "Wanderlust," the series appearing on Yahoo News will feature a unique theme in each episode, the first looking at the top 5 non-ocean "beach" destinations. Others will include the Top 5 Places You Can't Take Your Car and the Top 5 Oddest Museums.

Co-producing Wanderlust with Yahoo is travel video production company TurnHere, Chase Sapphire is the title sponsor of the series and will be featured in a branded "Chase Sapphire Travel Tip" segment at the end of select episodes. The new show continues the Web portal's effort to expand its video offerings. Yahoo earlier this month announced plans to roll out eight new series aimed at women 18 to 54.
