Four days after graduation Sarah Kim left California and moved to New York City to become a stylist. The first year was hard, but she found her footing and landed a job with Carlos Campos. There, she was exposed to many sides of the fashion industry and realized her interests expanded beyond styling. The world of editorial caught her eye and soon she navigated her way to becoming a Fashion Assistant and Editor at Antenna Magazine.
On a warm summer evening we caught up with Sarah in Soho to discuss work and her experiences traveling. As she describes it, “When I look back and think about being in New York and working at Antenna, if you told me a few years ago that I would be here, I would have never believed you. I was set on being a stylist and all those experiences brought me to becoming an editor at a great magazine where I get to travel, meet interesting people and write stories that I’m excited about.” Click Read More to view the entire interview.
Petite Passport is a brilliant collection of locations by Pauline Egge, one of our favorite travel journalists. Since 2006 she’s written about travel hotspots for an impressive roster of magazines including Red, Glamour and Marie Claire. But, because print publishing lacks the speed and spontaneity of the web, she created Petite Passport to keep an up-to-date catalog of all the spots she’s been to, wants to go to, or generally finds interesting. As she describes it, “It’s my little black book full of addresses. It’s a wish list and also a review of places I actually visited.” Recently we caught up with Pauline to discuss travel and her fantastic site. Click Read More to view.
We recently met with Kenji Summers, the energetic mind behind the Passport Project. Inspired by a song and a trip to Barcelona, Kenji decided to start an exciting initiative to help people see the world. As he describes, “I was on my way to Barcelona listening to Lupe’s Paris Tokyo Remix. One of the artists on the song says we should start a coalition to help people travel and see the world. I thought – why not? That’s a powerful idea and seeing the world starts with a passport.”
After an exciting six years at Google, Dorothy McGivney traveled the world and came back with a fantastic idea. She wanted to create something inspiring and locally relevant for New Yorkers who love to travel. In no time, a new travel resource was born. Jauntsetter – with its weekly newsletter and website – serves up useful escape plans for spontaneous travelers. We’re long time subscribers and recently met with Dorothy to discuss business, travel and her favorite cities. Click Read More for the interview.
Download Wallpaper: Paris by King Britt
This week’s travel inspired wallpaper comes courtesy of the world traveling DJ and Producer, King Britt. You may remember the interview we did with King for our travel chronicles series. Here he supplies us with a fantastic shot of Paris. We like the everyday non-chalant feel of the photo. As he describes it, “I particularly liked this shot of Paris because itʼs a side thatʼs not often shown in travel photos. Plus thereʼs a peaceful vibe that exists thatʼs hard to explain.” Download the wallpaper here. In the file, we’ve included multiple sizes for your convenience.

This week’s travel inspired wallpaper comes courtesy of Adam Chang – a brilliant photographer and art director at NY-based design studio Same Tomorrow. As an avid traveler, Adam submitted the above photo of Taiwan and provided a few words. “The photo was taken in a temple located just outside of Ping Tung. This area of Taiwan doesn’t have all the glitz and glamour of Taipei but it definitely has a couple of unique sights such as this place where the roof is supposedly made of gold.” We love this photo and hope it provides a bit of travel inspiration for you.
