AFAR Is By Far The Best Travel Magazine Ever
Posted Jul 26, 2010
I've been noticing more and more internal searches for the travel magazine AFAR. I had to see what the fuss was all about. Two words…Great Magazine.
If you are looking for a travel magazine that doesn't feel so "commercially driven" then I think you will find that AFAR will become your new best friend. I was amazed by the ability of the writers to take me a lot deeper into the culture and nuance of a destination. It is so much better than the normal drivel about clean hotel sheets and villa amenities.
They tell you what the local people are like, which to me, is much more interesting. If someone asked me what makes AFAR different, I would say it is about traveling for soul changing life experience, not just to get away from the daily grind. Sounds a lot more fulfilling, doesn't it? But don't take my word for it, you can get a pretty good idea of what to expect by reading a few posts from their blog.
Even the small "Try this…" articles are intriguing. After flipping through the most recent issue, there was a two paragraph blurb about Horchata a creamy refreshing summertime drink made from the tigernut found in Spain. It sounded wonderful....I could almost taste it from the description! It's crazy how such a simple thing can make you want to go there just to try the real deal. I've got to go there now.
If you are looking to change things up with your magazine subscriptions pretty soon…either add or switch out one of your subscriptions with AFAR magazine. Try it, I know you will look forward to getting each new bi-monthly issue. You can get a 1 year subscription through EBSCO for $19.95.
BTW - I liked this magazine so much I'll even give you an extra $5 off your order to give it a try. Use this code in your shopping cart: AFAR5 -- discount code expires 8/31/2010
