Kinfolk Wilderness

Kinfolk Wilderness

 “Instead, the wilderness is a very human creation - not a place apart from civilization, but a product of it. It exists in the imagination, historically as a place to conquer (its pursuit has erased the histories, and realities, of many Indigenous people the world over) and perhaps today as a sanctuary from all that has been created since.“

Discover the joy of being in nature and the pleasure of slow travel with Kinfolk Wilderness. Whether you travel at any pace or for any purpose, the stories in this book will provide you a new perspective on what it means to be 'in nature', whether it means hiking from hut to hut in New Zealand, saddling up a Patagonian ranch, or simply taking a moment to meditate amidst the pristine peaks of Bhutan. In the book, you'll find entry points to bucolic European idyll from Denmark to Romania, discover new hiking trails over ancient hills of Iraqi Kurdistan, and learn to stargaze in the haunting dark sky deserts of California. Kinfolk is based on the belief that travel is as much a state of mind as an activity or itinerary, and thus celebrates a way of exploring the world that not only encourages a thoughtful outlook on the places visited but also deepens our relationship with home once the journey is over.
