Originating in Toronto, Canada and founded by Erin Pehlivan, ‘Return Trip’ is not your normal travel magazine, as noted by Erin within the opening editor’s letter. “It feels wrong to call ‘Return Trip’ a travel magazine,” Erin writes. “Rather, we aim to explore our emotional connection to place, which is often more complicated than it sounds.”
