Gastronomic Sojourns

April 2025

In our continuous quest to provide you limitless possibilities, we hope to expand not just your explorations, but also the lens with which you view the world. In that spirit, we unveil three new pathways—Mind, Body, Soul.

In Soul, we aim to take you on the most sensorial and transformative experiences to satiate your wanderlust and enrich your very being. For instance, in our Cover Story, we invite you to savour the world through shared meals and ancient culinary traditions. Imagine foraging or cooking with locals or taking a culinary class—the idea is to connect
with cultures, a flavour at a time. In Denmark, food takes on a powerful role of forging friendships, as community dining brings people out of their homes to share conversations over meals. We explore Japan with a sake trail, a truly soul-satisfying quest. Journeys like these truly resonate, leaving indelible memories and impressions.

In Mind, we seek to take you on stimulating journeys that stoke your intellectual curiosity and shape new perspectives. In this issue, we delve into the subtle art of mindful travel, revealing how cultural sensitivity can transform your sojourns. We also explore the emerging trend of micro-luxury stays, which is signalling a shift in how we view luxury escapes. It’s about expanding your horizons, one thought-provoking story at a time.

Finally, we honour the Body and put your physical well-being upfront. Our scenic walking trails help you connect with the world at your own pace. The aim is to find harmony between movement and mindfulness. To new thoughts and new horizons…

Happy reading and Namaste!
