Return Trip Spring / Summer 2019

SOLD OUT ONLINE! Return Trip is available in select stores across Toronto. Visit returntrip.ca for a list of stockists.

Return Trip is an independent magazine exploring how travel makes us feel. In the first issue of Return Trip, we uncover what it means to “return” — whether to our homes, our roots, or the road. From featured discussions on how our lives have been shaped by travel, to reflections on immigrant identities, we look at how global experiences play a role in helping us become who we are. Our first issue includes art, photography, stories, journals, poetry and essays from 19 contributors living in Canada and around the world.

6 x 8.5 inches, 110 colour pages, perfect bound. Printed in Toronto, Canada.
