Independent magazines about travel

Independent travel print survived the collapse of the guidebook by refusing to do the guidebook's job. These titles aren't telling you where to eat. Flaneur takes a single street per issue and moves the team there for months to make it. Drift builds each issue around one city's coffee culture and has run ad-free since it started. Sidetracked publishes expedition and adventure writing three times a year at a length no website would commission. The format works because a place takes more room than a listicle allows, and because a magazine about somewhere else is the correct object to leave in a hotel lobby.
