Kinfolk Journeys
An unforgettable journey to breathtaking destinations around the world.

Venture beyond the familiar with Kinfolk Journeys, a celebration of inspiring and sustainable ways to travel slower and see the world anew. Take a subterranean tour of Tashkent, join a local mailman on his delivery route through rural New Zealand or sail the high seas en route to Antarctica—these stories will transform the way you travel, no matter the locale or distance. Kinfolk Journeys is filled with ideas for day trips, weekend breaks and grander adventures that center around slower modes of transport—road, rail, sea and trail—and encourage us to be our own guides along the way. Featuring lush photography, practical advice and thoughtful reflections on responsible travel, the eighteen stories in this collection take us to some of the world’s most extraordinary landscapes, from Namibia’s daring and desolate coastline to the most remote reaches of Australia. Guided by the belief that travel is as much a state of mind as an action or itinerary, Kinfolk Journeys is about exploring our world in a way that not only fosters thoughtful perspectives on the places we visit but also deepens our relationship with home once the journey is over.
