That Dream of Creating a Travel Zine

Written by:

I have always dreamed of publishing my own book, or magazine or coffee table or even a simple zine. A “zine” is a small-circulation self-published work of original or appropriated texts and images, usually reproduced via a copy machines. I imagine these publications to be filled with my travel photographs and writings. Oh, what a dream.

While coming up with an entire travel publication seems a daunting task, I would at times play around with the creative juices I have in me and try to produce some creative outputs like these ones. So here is a sample of what I envision to compile in a zine! Hope I could make a real one as a memento of the 50+ countries I’ve been to. Let me start with a dream, create a template for this dream, and who knows, it might just become a reality soon.

I remember rhis online magazine wayback university days wherein some of my photographs and short write-ups were featured.

And recently, the Philippine Global Explorers’ travel magazine featured me and 2 of my photographs. So you see, baby steps making their way to make my dream come true. Yay!
