there anything more human than the urge to explore? Whether
we’re boarding boats, seeking out new art spaces or searching
within ourselves on a journey of introspection, it’s this desire
that cements our uniqueness.

In the latest issue of SUITCASE, we discover what matters by
treading pastures new while staying alive to what’s closer to home.
From the island culture of Vanuatu, where South Pacific traditions
are staying strong, to contemporary life in vibrant, outdoorsy
Valencia – this year’s World Design Capital – Volume 36: Discovery
seeks out the unexpected stories in even the most obvious
places.

We reveal the stark beauty of Senegal’s Sine-Saloum Delta, take
you down a newly opened trail that follows an ancient trading route
in Bhutan, explore coastal adventures in the UK and invite you to
meet three of Africa’s greatest new-gen female eco-campaigners, as
well as the urban artisans crafting tableware for some of the
world’s best restaurants. In Paris, meanwhile, we turn our
perspective of the City of Light on its head by joining a parkour
collective as they leap and cartwheel across its rooftops.

All of which goes to prove that even the most mapped places in
the world can still have the power to surprise.
