With schools around the world breaking off for the summer months to give students a breather before the new academic year starts, the trend of holidaying during the summer season has therefore now become a rule than an exception. This holidaying in the summer season trend is enhanced in Oman, as office-goers often tend to combine their annual holidays with school travel vacations to escape the heat and seek respite in destinations that have more pleasant climes.
To augment this mood and persuade work addicts to press the symbolic brake on the monotonous and stressful work-office-work life, this issue of FACES celebrates travel and everything related to travel. This travel special of FACES features exciting travel stories from itinerant folks who have made travel a way of life, going beyond the defined precincts of tour and travel to explore destinations that are labelled adventurous and unique.
Come along and read all that our panel of travel mavens have to say to spur you to take up travel, summer or otherwise. Escape the heat of Oman and travel with us as we take you though a myriad of travel visions through our wonderful reads. Indulge, trek, fly, sail, drive, safari whatever you want it is all here. While the cover story presents interesting takes from itinerant travellers, the In Conversation is a reflection of travel blogger D. Michael’s ‘Beyond the Borders’ outlook. There is more on travel from ‘Beyond Borders Oman’ team and Nicole Brewer, co-founder of ‘I Luv 2 Globe Trot’, alongside a host of travel features that take the fashion and style route in this issue.
