PUBLISHED WORK

Full-size reading material.

The readers open only when asked. Magazines, unlike websites, were designed for lingering.

01 / WHAT ARRIVED

The assignment

A travel feature has two jobs. It must be useful when the reader arrives and vivid enough to make arriving seem like a good idea. The place itself gets a vote, too.

02 / WHAT I HANDLED

My part in it

Contributed freelance travel articles to Lonely Planet Magazine India between 2010 and 2012.
