OutThere Magazine #15 The Seductive Sri Lanka Issue Edición anterior

OutThere travellers look for transformative experiences that are mind-expanding and meaningful, when they travel, and are conscious of our impact on the destinations, not to mention generous in giving back to the communities that we encounter. This is why we’ve chosen to dedicate the first part of this issue to Sri Lanka, a country much in need of a comeback. While many of the world’s destinations get the opportunity to mature like a fine wine, this breathtakingly beautiful, storied, spiritual and experiential country has had the bad luck of being repeatedly ravaged by challenges that keep its much needed tourism growth at bay. But the ‘Teardrop Isle’ is on the rebound, readier than ever to be back in business.

To continue with the feel-good storytelling, we explore the SoCal enclave of San Diego to experience a city that’s intent on building bridges with its Mexican neighbours. We also head up to Gothenburg in West Sweden to see sustainability in action in a city that has an egalitarian approach to progress. We take a trip to the Sonoran plains in Scottsdale, Arizona, to be inspired by the people who have made something amazing out of absolutely nothing, the desert. And we make a return to what is arguably Canada’s most progressive French city, Montreal, to come face to face with the country’s rainbow-flag-waving Prime Minister Justin Trudeau making a stand for equality.
