{ exciting news }

a couple months back i received an unexpected email from someone i admire asking me if i’d be interested in a little project. that little project turned into a medium sized project and then before i knew it, it had become a very large project. and today, on the first of july, the large project has finally launched and is ready for the world.

i’d like to introduce you to someone. someone very special and dear to me. it combines two things that have transcended the fickleness of time and remain fascinating to me. the first is writing. the second is travel.

it’s an online magazine that pulls art and thought from people, wanderlusty people, presented in the most appropriate of no boundary mediums, the online gathering space where anyone from anywhere can flock. we publish poetry, photography, short pieces of fiction, feature articles, and columns that center around your, mine, his, her, their wanderlust.  stories, experiences, tangible, intangible, that deep-seeded and insatiable desire, it’s all there. come explore with us. bookmark and subscribe to us on the site, on twitter or facebook, pass on the good word and join this community of people who are moved by travel and have no qualms of talking about it. for our travels, even when solitary, find life in the way it teaches us to grasp the outer edges of our worldview and forces us to open up and let all manner of people and places in, embracing ourselves and then one another.

and if you feel so inclined, jump in and tell us your stories and thoughts in our weekly SoundOffs. or better yet, submit one of your pieces for publication. and finally, if you have an idea you’d like to spin to me for a longer length feature article, please, please do not hesitate to email me directly. i look forward to hearing from all of you or the very least, seeing your bright and shining faces in this corner of the world, ready to wander.

  1. thanks so much for your support and kind words! i hope you will consider submitting… a poem, a photograph (or photographic essay), or some writing. travel can mean so many things… plus i’m sure you have an arsenal of possible submissions somewhere in your hard drive :)

    and indeed, what stops us from the seemingly hard to reach dreams? i always wonder

  2. This sounds positively exhilarating Cindy! I wish I had the resources to travel more so I could contribute to such a project as this. I am a wanderlust at heart, I fantasize about roaming around; but the realities of family life keep me rooted. I save newspaper clippings of families who take to the road for a year though. My husband & I talk about moving to Italy for a year. What stops us?

    Congrats, I’m going to click on over and follow on Twitter, etc.
