Verve Magazine - March 2018

In this issue

In today’s digital world, as stamp-sized landscapes beckon from Instagram and social media pathways lay out views of enticing urban and rural panoramas at the point of a mouse, we dedicate our March issue to a true lust for travel that involves actual, flesh-and-blood journeying to the ends of the universe.

We are speaking of taking that old-fashioned break from our dreary routines and making off to lands unknown. We are speaking of weekend getaways and solo travel and getting out with your band of close girlfriends or with your mom. We are speaking of human contact, the experience that that affords, the laughter, the excitement, the pain, the homesickness, even. All this, and much more, awaits you in our March issue, now on stands!
