get lost Magazine is back with Issue 24, and it's not here to play nice.

This one goes straight past the postcard version of travel and into the stuff that actually sticks. The messy, the unexpected, the “how did I end up here?” kind of moments. Leading the charge: Malta, Italy and Fiji - three features that don't just show you a place, they drop you right into it.

Inside Issue 24

The special section lands in Malta, but not the Malta you think you know. Forget the rooftop spritz circuit. This is the version that lives underneath it all - caves instead of cocktail bars, prehistoric temples older than the pyramids, WWII shelters carved by hand, and traditions that feel a little weird. 

Then there's Fiji, where videographer Ben McNamara's trip is entirely led by kava, a root that's been shaping conversations in the Pacific for centuries. But this isn't the watered down, resort version. Get ready for late-night roadside grills, river crossings in tin boats, farming in terrain that fights back, and long, quiet moments where nothing happens…

And our very own Editor-at-large, Roberto Serrini heads to Brescia, Italy: a city that somehow turns opera into a full-contact, all-day, everywhere experience. During Festa dell'Opera, the place quite literally won't shut up. And he captured it all on film ofc. 

Also inside
– We explain exactly why group travel is having its moment (and for good reason).
– Bubble domes, private sanctuaries, and trendy motor hotels - oh my! Our Weird & Wonderful places need to be stayed at, asap.
– The world's Hot 5 music pilgrimages, from sweat-drenched Afrobeat to a humble deli hosting a band's first plug, these are the places where sound moves you.
– Photographer extraordinaire and export tip-giver, Lisa Michelle Burns, is back with the knowledge of how to perfectly capture travel's micro-moments.  
– WIN a wild adventure for two to Vanuatu. 

A global adventure, still proudly indie

Backed by partners OM-System Cameras and World Nomads, get lost Magazine now reaches more than 1.5 million readers worldwide. Not bad for an independent title still built on the idea that the best travel stories come from what happens when perfectly planned itineraries fall apart.
Give it a scroll, follow the impulse, and see where it takes you – chances are, it won't be anywhere sensible.

“This issue is a bit of a wildcard. We discover Malta in a way not many have, Fiji slows you down whether you like it or not, and Italy proves opera belongs absolutely everywhere. PSA: it's very hard to read without immediately planning something” – Kate Gazzard, Editor
