There’s something magical about paper that smells of ocean salt and aged mahogany—like finding your grandmother’s travel trunk tucked in the attic, dust-covered and filled with postcards from Capri, train tickets from Vienna, and a scrap of silk from Marrakesh. That’s Dreamscapes Travel & Lifestyle Magazine, my travel writing home.
Not some soulless clickbait clone churning out the top five ways to save ten bucks in Tulum. No. Dreamscapes is that rare holdout—a curated passport for dreamers, romantics, wanderers, and story seekers. It speaks to those of us who see travel not as a list of Instagrammable destinations, but as a sacred pilgrimage. Every issue feels hand-dipped in longing and wonder—like it was written at midnight, by candlelight, by someone still drunk on the light of Santorini.
Launched in '96, when people still wrote letters home, Dreamscapes has kept the spirit alive. You’ll find reflections on New Orleans jazz and the sway of Zurich’s trams. You’ll smell the thyme in a Mediterranean courtyard. There’s a kind of moral clarity, too—travel as a way to understand, not to conquer.
In a world clawing at your senses with algorithms and urgency, Dreamscapes reminds you to sit still, flip a page, and go—not just somewhere new, but somewhere deeply familiar within.
SPRING/SUMMER DREAMSCAPES PREVIEW: WOLF TRACKS THROUGH THE WILDERNESS
Some writers type. And some writers walk into storms, across tundra, up rivers with no name, and come back with stories that shake loose your idea of comfort. Frank Wolf is the latter.
In this Spring/Summer edition of Dreamscapes, we follow the restless boot prints of one of Canada’s great adventurers—not in some padded travelogue curated for couch-bound fantasists, but through the real marrow of this land. Wolf writes like a man half-seduced by risk and wholly in love with what the wild reveals about character.
This isn’t Instagram travel. This is a wind-burnt, bug-bit, blisters-under-calluses discovery. It’s paddling remote water routes while speaking to the land in fluent solitude. The laughter between storms and the silence only arrive when the body has nothing but resolve. Wolf doesn’t just explore geography—he trespasses into the untamed rooms of self.
I’ve shared this column space for years, always searching for the undercurrent and syncopation beneath the postcard smile. This issue is that rhythm runs primal and poetic. If you’ve forgotten what it means to feel small under a sky bigger than your fears, let Frank take you there—no helmet cam. No drone. Just the words, the wind, and the wild.
