Going Places isn’t just for travellers in the air – sit back, relax and flip through our e-magazine for travel inspiration
From the editor
As we delve into the warmth of June, it feels only fitting to embrace the theme of discovery, not just of places but of experiences that leave lasting impressions on our hearts and minds.
First, we’re excited to take you on a journey to Queensland’s sunny capital, Brisbane. With Malaysia Airlines flying direct to the River City starting 29 November, we highlight the best of its dynamic landscape, capturing its essence through stunning visuals that truly paint a thousand words.
Next, we venture to Yogyakarta, where writer Cheryl Marella brings us closer to the land of myth and magic. Her story reveals a different side to this popular destination, one rooted in sacred rituals, spiritual energy and a profound connection between people and nature. Through witnessing deeply symbolic practices, she uncovers the quiet strength and soul of a place often viewed through the lens of tourism.
Then, we turn to Amritsar, the jewel of Punjab, where tradition and old-world charm intertwine. Here, we explore the deeply humbling experience of volunteering at the Golden Temple’s community kitchen, an act of kindness that feeds thousands and leaves you with a renewed sense of gratitude.
As we journey through these diverse destinations, we are reminded of the immense beauty in both the seen and unseen – in the landscapes, the rituals and the human connections that make our world so richly textured. May this edition inspire your own adventures, wherever they may lead.
Go forth and wander!
