This past year has been incredibly challenging for all of us. We lived through unprecedent times when the global pandemic required us to adapt to a lifestyle we never would have had to embrace in different circumstances. The self isolation made our team crave travelling more than ever before and from our urge to connect to our nomadic community, we wanted to bring the feel of travelling to your doorstep. We dedicated our fourth print issue to the topic of escapism. When our readers hold the magazine in their hands and flip through its pages, they can gather inspiration of how to sustainably escape in the world of adventure once travelling is safe again.

​

The Escapism Issue is dedicated to adventure seeking and roaming the world from a more grounded point of view. We go back to the roots of abstract tourism and under-the-radar travelling to discover how we can identify as escapists and to learn how we can become better ethical travellers. Our team believes that adventure lovers should never take an opportunity to connect to a different culture or a destination for granted. Through our forth print issue we pay a tribute to traveling as escapists, preserving a sense of creativity in stillness and acknowledging the beauty of tapping into the world of different cultures.

​

In The ESCAPISM Issue, we collaborate with journalists, photographers and storytellers to bring you one step closer to the wonderful experience of roaming the destinations in a curious, sustainable and adventurous way.

​

​

The search for adventure travel is on the rise and we fully embrace it. From destinations where you will be surrounded by shooting geysers to lava lakes, we travel to the most inhospitable places on the planet. Get ready to explore Earth's dramatic landscape like you have never seen it before.

An Open Letter to our Nomadic Community

We feel it is important to acknowledge what we have been through as a consequence of the global pandemic and to provide our readers with some inspiration on how to deal with the social restrictions in creative ways. The imposed self isolation restrictions and the closing of borders were necessary measures, yet they had a distinctive impact on the travelling industry and on our nomadic community. Our editors take a minute to connect with readers, acknowledge the combined efforts of getting to the other side of the pandemic as more empathetic people and building a better society with a future where ethical travelling is the escapist's norm.

Can There be a No-Fly Future

The boom of tourism required the airline industry to take it up a notch, but have you ever considered what this means for our planet? The emissions that planes leave in the atmosphere from a single flight can shock you. We wanted to take this opportunity and explore the possibility of a no-fly future where we travel in an eco-conscious way that doesn't harm the environment as much as the transport industry does at the moment. The future might be brighter. In the meantime we give you suggestions on what you can do to contribute to leaving a greener footprint.

Creativity in Stillness

Can solitude inspire creativity? We reflect on how world-renowned artists such as Van Gogh, Franz Kafka and Frida Kahlo created some of their masterpieces in isolation to debate on how solitude can help artists with their creative process. This past year has challenged us to embark on a journey of social isolation. We pay a tribute to all those who have paved the way for artists to find the strength in knowing that when balanced with creativity, self isolation can be a powerful tool in artistic expression and finding one's identity.
