“No one in their right mind would have predicted this Strange New World we find ourselves in since the last issue of WideOyster Magazine came out last January”
The world and all its beauty will remain
Wow. No one in their right mind would have predicted this Strange New World we find ourselves in since the last issue of WideOyster Magazine came out last January.
The ripple effect of the pandemic we find ourselves in will have a massive effect on all levels of travel. We are strong believers that travel done right can be a tool in conserving this beautiful rock we live on.
This crisis could put that believe in warp speed mode. Less is more. But choose right. Choose the love for nature, choose for sharing and connecting with local communities, choose for authentic experiences that will enrich your life. Choose with your heart. But that is just our opinion.
At this moment, while travel is not possible, we wish to bring you dreams and inspiration. Because with the right food for thought and great storytelling, you can travel without moving. Fueled by fantasy.
The world and all its beauty will remain.
Dream now, explore later.
Stay healthy my friends,
