Nobody is a Berlin-based biannual print magazine about people, their stories, places, and much more. Their press release notes, “we reach beyond the headlines to publish reported longform writing, photo series, illustrated memoir, and other experiments in voice.” Nobody issue one pierces the veil of the everyday and invites us into the world of the undiscovered, unheard and the unrelenting.

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.”
