WELCOME
Dear fellow traveler,
Like an engaging novel with a plot twist that keeps you thinking long after the final page, an unexpected detour can elevate an ordinary trip to one of your most memorable. A sharp turn onto an inviting lane can sometimes develop into an afternoon of serendipitous sightseeing or productive shopping. Even when it turns out to be a wrong turn, it can be salvaged with a riotous retelling once you return home.
In this fall issue, we follow our storytellers through the Mediterranean, Asia and beyond, hopefully inspiring you to plan an extraordinary experience of your own. Bright lights and vibrant flavors jump out from every direction in Bangkok, the subject of Chawadee Nualkhair’ s featured story about the kaleidoscopic Thai capital’ s street-food scene. Elsewhere, Amy Mutscher relates her wanderings through the captivating Italian island of Sardinia, while Emily Brown takes a Viking Mediterranean cruise, investigating the ancient sites of Greek and Roman history.
