The Vagabond Explorer Mission

Written by travelers for travelers, Vagabond Explorer magazine is travel writing with a shattered lens—a kaleidoscope of expression, opinion, and experience that is meant to give you the impetus, knowledge, and confidence to get out on open road . . . and stay there. Bringing together a wide-ranging team of vagabonds, hobos, travel writers, and freedom seekers, this magazine is written and produced by travelers for travelers. This is not a corporate magazine designed to sell you week long resort vacations and an umbrella in a cocktail view of the world. No, Vagabond Explorer is meant be an ode to the art of long term World Travel. We believe that the deep value of travel is not found sitting back on pristine beaches, daubed in sun block, saying “Ah, ain’t this the life.” No, we believe that the essence of travel happens when you must learn something new, adapt to unfamiliar circumstances, get beyond your comfort zone,  and when you must explore not only other places on the globe, but other opinions, ideas, and worldviews as well.

Inside Volume 1

In its first issue, Vagabond Explorer spans the globe as it exposes the struggle for survival at the epicenter of Japan’s worse natural disaster, toasts sex and beer in Ethiopia, shows how to ride the rails in Australia for free, investigated the ends of nomadic life, teaches how to start an independent travel business, and flips the bird to life in a cubicle. This volume is an exploration into the arts of world travel, what is going on in the world, and how to see the action for yourself. All for free!

    Great magazine! Really entertaining read for all of those who are still stuck, without being able to travel. It makes the little “travelling bug” inside us still alive.

    I’d love to see another one.

    • Wade Shepard

      Me too. But considering that that issue took me about 10 hours a day for three months to put out, I need to get some other things finished first:-). The next issue will be put out in print and made for Kindle as well. I’d say look for vol. 2 this coming spring.

        That rocks! Thanks for the update.

    Hi Wade,
    I’ve written an article contrasting two different attitudes towards travel (the classical and the surrealist), which I think would be suitable for Vagabond. But I don’t see any way to submit an article through your website. Perhaps you write all the material that appears in the magazine… If you are interested in seeing the article, please let me know.
    Best, Martin
