"Wanderlust inspiration."
--GQ, The Best Gifts for Coworkers
Join Kinfolk on a journey off the beaten track, to islands big and
small, in this collection of eighteen new travel stories. Whether it's a
tour of the otherworldly landscape of Socotra in Yemen or a hike into
the old growth of a Japanese forest on Yakushima, each slow travel
itinerary invites you to set sail at a pace that allows for true
discovery and immersion.
Filled with ideas and inspiration for where to escape, explore and
unwind, Kinfolk Islands is full of vibrant photography, practical
guidance and thoughtful reflections on why the idea of an island
embodies so many of our travel fantasies. There are the charms of urban
islands, including Montréal's beloved Mile End neighborhood. Truly
unexpected destinations, like Hormuz, off the coast of Iran, with its
psychedelic scenery and bohemian spirit. Italy's sun-soaked Ponza,
perfect for languid afternoons. And of course some of the world's most
beautiful beaches, from jungle-fringed Caribbean sands to rugged and
remote Nordic shores.
Believing that travel is as much a state of mind as an action or
itinerary, Kinfolk celebrates a way of exploring our world that not
only fosters thoughtful perspectives on the places we visit but also
deepens our relationship with home once the journey is over.
