Editorial Departments:

AFAR was created to inspire and guide those who travel the world seeking to connect with its people, experience their cultures, and understand their perspectives.

Where Travel Takes Us | Where the AFAR community comes together. We feature recommendations from AFAR.com, in addition to reader comments on stories from previous issues.

Our Picks | Afar presents new hotels, gadgets, books, events—and anything else that catches our eye.

Wander | Where to Go Next. AFAR’s street-level guide to unusual destinations, both on- and off the-beaten path. In every issue, Wander includes the “Wandering Chef” column, in which well-known American chefs recommend food experiences from a recent trip (typically includes restaurants, bars, and markets).

Spin the Globe | AFAR chooses a destination at random—by literally spinning a globe—and sends a writer on a spontaneous journey. He/she travels without an itinerary, and relays the adventure in a first-person dispatch.

Mix | A visual exploration of the world’s similarities and differences.

Curious Planet | Our distinctive infographics department that illustrates global issues through charts, maps and graphics.

Postcards | Experiential travel moments captured by members of the AFAR community.

Resident | A local introduces readers to the people, places, and stories of his or her neighborhood.

Nomad | A modern nomad discusses life on the road.

Feast | An in-depth exploration of a traditional local dish, and how it connects to the culture. Plus a recipe and where to eat.

Find | An in-depth look at a handcrafted item that reveals the creative process, its connection to a place, and the story of the people who make it.
