✦ The magazine
Est. Lisbon 2019A manifesto,
in seven lines
We think the world is best seen at the speed of a train window. We think a market is a museum. We think you should get lost, on purpose, at least once a trip. We print on paper because a screen does not smell of anything. We pay writers for the days they spent, not the words they filed. We have never once used the word hidden gem. And we would rather you went somewhere slowly than everywhere fast.
