Destination Elsewhere began as an idea between two friends back in 2001.  In many ways it developed from a frustration with travel magazines that merely feature "how-to" destination guides.  Our love of travel and our passion for the written word combined to form a concept.  Destination Elsewhere celebrates the desire to see the world and to convey that experience through the powerful mediums of writing and photography.

Over the last five years Destination Elsewhere has evolved from a small ezine to a fully-fledged online magazine.  In fact, we like to think it offers one of the best travel narrative resources on the web: a place for readers and writers and lovers of travel to converge.  Our aim is to create a place of inspiration for travel and culture.

In the fall of 2006 Destination Elsewhere received another facelift: a new design and the addition of the Destination Elsewhere Directory and the Destination Elsewhere Editors' (B)log.  We hope that these new additions to the magazine will provide an even better experience for our readers.

About the Editors

You could say we're an international team: one Brit and one American working across the Atlantic to bring you Destination Elsewhere.  Anna Gibson (the Brit) is usually the one behind the Web design, while Lori Brister (the American) can usually be found trawling through our submissions and working on the Armchair Travel section.  Our own travels have usually been together in a blue Bug speeding around Europe or criss-crossing the Atlantic (without the Beetle!)  We studied together in Mississippi and France before completing Master's degrees in English from the University of Exeter in England.
