Modern Nomad

PLACES The Magazine for the Modern Nomad which eventually evolved into Modern Nomad magazine, was a travel/lifestyle magazine aimed at independent 18- to 35-year-old travelers. The magazine was published out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and lasted for three years from 2001 through 2004 and had 80,000 subscribers as of 2003.[1]

Description

Modern Nomad was a collaboration between Paul W. Jacob and Lindsay Bentz. It published essays, poetry, photo essays and full-length features on destinations around the globe, including in-depth looks at food and music subcultures. The magazine's inaugural issue arrived in newsstands on Sept 21, 2001 - just a week and a half after 9/11. Despite the economic climate and the enormous decline in the travel industry, Modern Nomad continued publishing for 3 years. Despite an original plan not to rely on the typical volume of advertisements,[2] it was the downturn in advertising revenue following 9/11 that caused the magazine to cease production.

Modern Nomad Festival

The Modern Nomad Festival, which was held at the Henry Miller Library in Big Sur in June 2003, was a three-day festival of music, poetry, food and dance that celebrated the open and loving spirit of the nomadic travel culture that exists throughout the world.
