Not every journey will be beautiful.
Not every morning will be bright.
Not every road will be smooth.
Not every flower will be pretty.
Not every person will be a friend.
Not every landscape will be breathtaking.
Not every moment will be memorable.
Not every question will be answered.
Not every book will make sense.
Not every wound will heal.
Not every sun will rise.
Not until it is time.
LOST is a magazine about self-discovery through travel. It is a magazine that features real stories, personal reflections and epiphanies from people around the world. It believes that travel isn’t about fancy hotels or tourist destinations, but about immersing oneself in someplace entirely foreign to feel extremely uncomfortable so that one can learn from it. It believes that travel is a state of mind.
Issue Ten is 17.5cmx24cm, 296 pages, bilingual (English & Chinese) and features 10 personal travel stories.
Featured stories:
When James Tugwell goes into the wilderness for a sandal photoshoot, he is reminded by the wilderness that it is, indeed, unforgivingly wild. He recounts his experience in “When Wild Triumphs”.
In “Three Days”, Miki Lau goes on a solo trip to Sri Lanka when she unexpectedly falls in love with a stranger.
To pull himself together, Fred Lahache booked a trip to New York. But when he got there, he realised he was in the most anxious city in the world. He documents his journey through his camera in “Angst and the City”.
When Nick travelled to Nepal to hike the Annapurna Circuit, he wasn’t expecting the biggest challenge to be in the form of catering. Could his body cope with running on little more than lentils and rice for weeks on end? Find out in his story “Dal Bhat”.
Jasper Pryor shares his thoughts about the state of nature as he wanders through the landscapes of Wales in “To Travel in a Human Landscape”.
When Yiman bought a one-way ticket from Shanghai to Inner Mongolia, she had no idea what she was going to do or when the trip might end — the only thing she knew was how to get there. She shares her adventures in “To the Land of Nomads”.
