What is diariesof?
diariesof is a travel bookazine. This means that it has got the quality of a book and the format of a magazine. Its 164 pages are filled with travel stories, photographies, interviews, and also one humanitarian project to raise social awareness.
Each issue is solely about one country so the reader can immerse instead of touch base. We find it important to explore the different aspects of a culture in order to better understand it. We achieve our goal when the reader connects to our featured country and feels inspired to make a journey there to live his own experiences and encounters. diariesof mainly intends to inspire, hence our motto “travel inspirations”.
