Truth in Travel

Our Journal is committed to sharing the truth about the realities of travel. Here you will find a truly international range of perspectives and diverse destinations that explore topics of sustainability, human experience, culture and beyond. Telling these stories matters and we’ve created four guidelines to ensure the quality of our work is something you can trust and be inspired by.

Credible: We aim for depth and inclusivity in our stories and follow the four tenets of journalism: seek the truth, act independently, minimize harm, and be accountable. As a result, our writers are experienced and international.

Conscientious: As we cover a range of diverse cultures — often writing firsthand about a new experience — we use inclusive terminology that shows respect for the people and places we’re writing about. We think about our global audience and speak to the emotional, sensory nature of the human experience.

Current: With travel constantly changing, we are always at the forefront of what’s new. We observe and reference topical news, events, and trends and express them in a clear, concise way.

Inclusive: While our approach is journalistic in its standards, our content is grounded in compelling narratives and personal perspectives. We’re human, so we talk like real humans.

Now let’s explore!

A Day To Be Pigged Out

Are you ready for it? Are you ready for yet another weekend-long binge of bacon? Thanks to the graduate students of the University of Colorado who invented International Bacon Day, we have a perfect excuse to scarf down (more than) a few strips of crispy and chewy perfection. These fatty, salty, cured meat strips are […]

Slow-dating: realistic pace to more mindful connections

One of the unexpected gifts from these long seasons in quarantine is the abundance of time. This reflective period has given people an opportunity to look inward, to know themselves better and realize what is most important. Not surprisingly, this shift towards increased mindfulness has also permeated into how singles approach dating and inviting new […]

Discovering Creativity, Culture and Croffles

Returning to Hong Kong from London for a year now, I spent most of 2020 buried with work and online classes. With what seemed like never-ending projects and commissions coming my way all at once, I barely had any time to explore the city, only squeezing in one to two days per week to catch […]

My Panacea For Homesickness

Homesickness – the ineffable surge of nostalgia, a feeling that we are all too familiar with, especially given all that has been going on. Just like many of us, I haven’t been able to visit home for a period longer than usual. Growing up in an Asian family, dinner isn’t just right without a bowl […]

With the increase in vaccinations and relaxed travel guidelines, there’s finally a glimpse of hope at the end of the tunnel for the summer we’ve so longingly desired.

My Husband Loves Color

We all love black for the same reason, it’s easy. It’s a chic default. It’s a uniform and a shield. It’s safe and accepted. Black goes with everything and frees up our mental energy to worry about the other big and small emergencies life throws at us. This is a story of how my husband […]
