Overview

An unforgettable journey to breathtaking destinations around the world, this book is full of sustainable ways to slow down and see the world anew.

Celebrate off-the-beaten path travel with Kinfolk Journeys. Whether via road, rail, sea, or trail, each trip will take you on an adventure where the point is not to get somewhere fast and check a lot of boxes but to take it all in—absorbing history, exploring unusual detours, and surrendering to stunning scenery along the way.

Featuring eighteen one-of-a-kind travel stories from six continents, from a sailing voyage through turbulent waters in Antarctica to a goat-herding adventure in Spain, Kinfolk Journeys includes vibrant photography, practical guidance, and thoughtful reflections on sustainable transportation. 

Kinfolk Journeys will inspire your next adventure with  conscientious routes through some of the world's most extraordinary landscapes.
