In America and across the world, people are feeling deeply uncertain right now. The future is always unknowable. But when fear starts to take hold, we believe that travel—done thoughtfully and responsibly—can provide an antidote.
Travel opens our eyes to all that we have in common, while also inspiring us to celebrate our differences and reminding us how important it is to look out for one another, both at home or abroad. We all have our stories about people we met on the road with whom we discovered unexpected life symmetries, who let us in on a little local secret, who were kind to us when we needed help. And we all know the feeling of being one of those people.
At Condé Nast Traveler we strive to be a vessel for finding hope and joy through travel. No matter how uncertain the future, we want to celebrate being endlessly curious about the world, finding commonalities amidst our differences, and seeking ways to include everyone in the magic and power of travel. And that’s the thing about travel: no matter where you’re going, forward is the direction you’re headed.
