Kinfolk Journeys

Kinfolk magazine editor in chief Burns’s (Kinfolk Travel) latest lavishly illustrated book shares 18 stories by contributors about unusual trips that celebrate the journey, not the destination. Travelers can explore New Zealand’s South Island by mail van, England’s Lake District by double-decker bus, Tokyo by taxi, or Andalusia with a herd of goats. Trips also include riding a train along the Hel Peninsula in Poland, driving a car down the Wilderness Road in Sweden, visiting the fantastical sculpture gardens in Tuscany and Lazio, boarding the ferry to the Croatian island of Lošinj, and taking the Al Boraq high-speed train across Morocco. Grander adventures consist of bicycling in the Lofoten Islands, Norway; taking the train to Broken Hill, Australia; traveling the Upper Mustang region of Nepal by horse; day-tripping along the coast of Namibia; and cruising to Antarctica. Each entry briefly introduces the trip, including how to get there, what to see, and where to stay. The book is richly illustrated with stunning color photographs.
