twitter name @ginamorra. An awesome place i’ve been to recently was Rincon, PR. Beautiful beaches, fun nightlife and daytime partying, too. Hop from hotel to hotel, where you don’t have to be staying there to take advantage of their beaches, pools, bars and coconut drinks!

As a traveler stuck at home (Euroland) this winter, I def need a let out, something to keep my wandering mind warm. At least until I go back to the Philippines (Panglao Island), my new fav place.

I have absolutely nothing relevant to say, but the zine looks nice so I wouldn’t mind winning a sub.

I know I sound like a broken record, but my favorite offbeat location is Medellin, Colombia. Such a beautifully set city – the surrounding mountains, great weather, friendly people.

congratulations guys, I’ve seen the online version and it looks fantastic!

my favourite off-beat location… tough question as I could just sit here for a while listing places. I’ll pick one of my favourite ones in NZ – since it’s where Craig and Linda are from too In summer, one of my favourite things to do is drive up Muriwai Beach, on the West Coast of the North Island, just North of Auckland. If you can get a 4WD up the beach, you can drive on the sand for about 40km and it is absolutely awesome driving that close to the water, with the windows down… Despite being a beach, you need to follow all road rules and there’s even a speed limit (I can’t remember what it is, though). You will drive past half-buried abandoned cars (watch out for those!) and a number of other interesting things.

You will also drive close to the Kaipara Bombing Range, used by the New Zealand Defence Force for training and testing of munitions and equipment – which, of course, I wouldn’t recommend anyone visits.

At one point during the drive, you lose cell phone reception and get to a stage where your eyes can see nothing but water and sand dunes for miles. The feeling of isolation is amazing and I could easily spend hours alone in that place. Or, even better, have a picnic with friends.

My favorite offbeat destination is the artists’ colony of Groznjan in Croatia. Art, music and wine, what more can you ask for

My favorite location is Akumal, Mexico. It used to be very off-beat, but not so much anymore. Such a shame.

My favorite offbeat location is Clam Gulch, Alaska. It is beautiful in the summer and the mix of characters you find at the only watering hole, The Clam Shell, can’t be beat. Plus their annual music festival, The Clam Jam, is one of the best on the Kenai Peninsula.

I’ve recently found Matador and am loving all the fab content. I have aspirations of submitting a travel article to Matador when I return from an upcoming trip to Taiwan. My favorite offbeat location is Queenstown, New Zealand. The landscape is breathtaking. The range and quantity of outdoor activities that are all available based out of Queenstown is stupendous. It truly is the adventure capital of the world. I’ve been twice and would move there in a heart beat. I would love to win a subscription to IDK Magazine. Best wishes to all. @BelmontLovely
