"Through my travels, I have learned that it is not the physical surroundings or the iconic sights that give a place meaning. It's the people and their stories that make each trip memorable. Afar will go beneath the surface of a place and offer readers the real experience of travel," notes Greg Sullivan, Afar Founder and CEO.
Of the 15 regular departments, Mix, with its multitude of world photos, caught my eye with its take on regional shoes.
Resident connects readers with a local's view of his or her neighborhood; in this premier issue, we visit Sophie Howarth's East London.
Oakland, California resident and web programmer Mark Salvatore shares what it's like to be constantly on the road in Nomad.
Jennica Peterson's�Good Trips - Travel with Purpose touched a cord�with me. Perhaps it is because I write the "Traveler's Making a Difference" column for Hip Compass Escapes Magazine. I liked that each story showed how to become involved and travel with purpose on your next adventure.
As a lodging editor, Stay: Authentic lodging accommodations that engage in culture and identify a sense of place, captured my attention.
Of course, Where Travel Takes Me: A memoir of personal journey is always of interest to the travel writer in me. The fact that Afar snagged Tim Cahill to share "The Kindness of Strangers"�hooked me from start to finish.
Congratulations to Afar and its editorial staff on launching a sharp, new travel magazine as we step out of a recession and step into a new journey afar!
Afar magazine debuts with a frequency of six times a year. The subscription rate is $19.95 per year and the cover price is $4.99. Visit afar.com/blog or follow Afar on twitter.com/afarmedia.
