The Travel Almanac explores the topics of traveling and temporary habitation from the personal perspectives of innovative figures in the fashion, music, art, and film worlds. Addressing an increasingly mobilized creative community, it is the first publication of its kind to speak to this sophisticated generation of travelers. The plurality of this community inspires the magazine to focus on individual’s personal experiences, and the effects of travel on their lives and work.

In this issue:

The Summer 2025 edition of The Travel Almanac (TTA26) explores the enduring question of free will in an age of persuasive media, political polarization, and curated identity. Can travel, art, or belief systems offer true autonomy, or are our choices shaped by unseen forces? Featuring visionary voices such as FKA Twigs, Zehra Doğan, Stewart Lee, Mariacarla Boscono, Patricia Churchland, Duran Lantink, and Deva Cassel, TTA26 journeys from Rome to Kenya to Las Vegas to examine the tension between fate and freedom. Through intimate profiles, essays, and interviews, the issue offers a compelling meditation on what it means to act, create, and move—by choice or by design.
