Sidetracked No.27

Sidetracked is a magazine that delivers captivating photography and amazing narratives to people who dream of adventure.

This issue 27 is themed around 'Embracing the Unknown Creativity'. A smooth adventure is never a true adventure, and there are opportunities for adventure in the unknown. It means being creative, gaining insight, and becoming a human being who can see the world in a new way. Sometimes we have to let go of the desire to control and instead accept that nature is in charge.

In this issue’s chapter “Stronger With Time,” Joffrey Maluski attempts a winter fat bike ride across Iceland. In “Letting Go,” Lisa Paarvio finds her epiphany as she draws creative inspiration from the chaotic power of the mountains.

'Wild Vjosa' documents Carmen Kuntz's journey to protect Europe's wild rivers, while Calum Macintyre and Vegard Aasen reveal a remarkable project to protect a Norwegian mountain from exploitation.

If we adapt to nature instead of trying to dominate it, we might find creativity in the very moments that scare us the most. This issue of Sidetracked highlights those who have gone the extra mile, risking failure to break new creative boundaries.
