COLLiDE Travel with Purpose | Page 10

1 From the publisher: A lot of people would like to declare that print is dead, but we're betting against the odds to tell this story the only way we see fit. At Collide we are banking on passion. We love music, we love travel, and we firmly believe that the two have become linked in ways never before possible. Flights are available to every corner of the earth, hotels that cater to a new generation are popping up all over, and music scenes have taken over places that just 10 years ago were struggling with electricity. 2 We celebrate those artists blazing the trail. They are the ones who live on the long and dusty road. Sleeping in cars, diving head first into local customs and cuisine, and inspiring us to join them whenever we get the opportunity. To that end we have turned this publication over to them. We asked them to share their most fulfilling experiences in their hometowns and on the road, from the minute they wake up to when they crash for the night. Only to do it all over again the next day. We’ve created a travel guide like no other, overflowing with their favorite restaurants, 3 drinking dens and dives (the real Manchester speakeasies!), late night haunts, keep it real travel tips (skip Gangnam in Seoul, Korea, really), and especially where they get their shawarma fix. This issue is dedicated to them. The musicians from around the world who dedicate their lives to their art no matter where the journey takes them. We hope you find as much inspiration as we did in every last page. 4 Happy Travels, Alan Miller top 5 shawarma according to alan miller (in order) 5 oslo, norway; reykjavik, iceland; zagreb, croatia; hamburg, germany; cologne, germany
