💌 Every Sunday at 11 AM CET, a postcard from VAGMAG lands in your inbox.

This week, our Nature & Outdoors Quarter Editor writes

“Years ago, I heard a phrase from my father: When women want to change their lives, they cut their hair.”

✂️ It’s never just about the haircut. It’s about the feeling — the courage of change, the broken ends we let go of, and the ones we choose to keep. Sometimes something new arrives quietly, with just a trim.

What about you? What’s the last thing you held on to, even when you knew it was time to let go? Or the last time you welcomed something new into your life?

“Think you’re escaping and run into yourself. Longest way round is the shortest way home.” — James Joyce, Ulysses

Wherever we go, the only thing we truly carry with us is ourselves. When was the last time you were afraid to be honest with yourself?

The longest way is actually the shortest — and home is you.

As Alain de Botton, a beloved guide for us, says in the opening pages of his book "The Art of Travel", dedicated to Michele Hutchison:

"One evening, as it was raining bucketfuls, I walked past a park and remembered the previous summer. I recalled how I had gone to the park in the intense heat of that summer, stretched out my legs, slipped out of my shoes, and stroked the grass with my feet, and how this direct contact had created a feeling of freedom and relief.

Summer had abolished the usual boundary between inside and outside, and I had felt as 'at home' in this park, in this world, as I did in my own bedroom."

Reflections from “Zante Beyond the Beach: A Greek Food Journey” by our Maggy ❤️

Sometimes, a single phrase from a story stays with us long after the journey ends.

A map isn’t just a guide; it’s a collection of stories waiting to be told. It’s the moment when a familiar phrase hits differently, perhaps while watching a sunset or walking down a new street.

Welcome to Our Journey’s Reflections—a series where we revisit timeless words from the stories we’ve told. These are the lines that marked the most significant moments on our journey, and we’re tracing their path once more. 🌹

1. On a different kind of travel:
“There are trips you plan with a packed itinerary... And then there are trips like the one I just had in Zante... where the only words that really mattered were sun, sea, food, and wine—full stop.”

2. On the nature of culture:
“culture has a way of sneaking onto your table whether you’re ready for it or not. And in Greece, food is culture in its most unapologetic form—loud, proud, and ready to be defended at all costs.”

3. On the essence of food and history:
“In food, as in history, identity is built not only by what you invent, but also by how you adapt, claim, and keep alive what has passed through your borders.”

4. On the timeless tradition of sharing:
“The modern Greek taverna still carries the same spirit: plates placed in the center, meant to be shared, wine flowing without ceremony, and conversations that rise in volume as the night goes on.”

5. On the truest reward of a journey:
“I came home not with guidebook facts, but with the taste of moussaka, the surprise of discovering I actually love feta, and the memory of strangers pouring us cinnamon liqueur like we were family.”

On Maggy's Table Today:

"Olive Oil: Greece’s Liquid History

If there’s one ingredient that explains Greek food better than any other, it’s olive oil. 🕊️

The Greeks have been pressing olives for thousands of years—long before “extra virgin” became a label in supermarket aisles.

In ancient times, olive oil wasn’t only food; it was currency, medicine, even fuel for lamps. 🫒

Owning olive groves meant wealth and status, and that hasn’t changed much. Even today, when someone in Greece tells you, “This oil is from my family’s trees,” it’s not small talk—it’s pride in liquid form.

Olive oil also shaped the way Greeks cooked.

It replaced animal fats, influenced the simplicity of their dishes, and became the base of almost everything, from vegetables stewed slowly until tender to salads where the oil is the real star." ✨

An excerpt from Maggy's latest article from Greece 🇬🇷 published in the Gastronomy and Food Culture section of VAGMAG ♥️

A voice postcard from Luzern, no background music, just a real sound postcard where the Lion Monument rests in quiet dignity.

Carved directly into a sandstone cliff in 1821, this sculpture commemorates the Swiss Guards who gave their lives defending the Tuileries Palace during the French Revolution.

The lion, wounded and falling, embodies courage, loyalty, and the quiet tragedy of sacrifice. Visitors have felt its solemn presence for over two centuries, and even writers like Mark Twain have paused here, moved by its stillness.

Summer has been our season of motion, light, and breath. Now, as it slowly folds into memory, we carry its warmth into the stillness ahead—just like the silent lion, standing strong even as the seasons change.

Some journeys echo in laughter, others in quiet stone. This one belongs to both ❤️

Words shape the way we travel, not only through places but also through ourselves 🌹

That’s why we created the VAG Dictionary, a growing collection of words that carry our journeys, our questions, our ways of belonging.

Each term is more than a definition; it’s a reminder that travel is not about imitation but about finding your own rhythm.

Which VAG word from today’s VAG Dictionary feels closest to you? ❤️

What’s the last memory you’ve made in the golden hour? Share your thoughts with us in the comments! 🌹

We’re sure we all love traveling, though it holds a different meaning for each of us ✈️🚗🚝

For some, it’s the time to shake off the year’s exhaustion and rest a little. For others, it’s the chance to see new places. For some, it’s the opportunity to escape a place they don’t love, while for others, it’s about discovering the lives unfolding in different corners of the world 🌍

Chasing our desires is important, but so is keeping up with our responsibilities and sustaining our working lives.

Maybe that’s why some of us have embraced travel as a career. They’ve turned it into a way of life, a profession.

But what about the others? Those who have a routine to maintain and who live in the reality of life, not in the dreamscape of Eat, Pray, Love? ❤️

For these free spirits who can’t fully break away from reality, VAGMAG’s Gastronomy Quarter Editor Maggy brings you her latest piece, Without Moving.

Traveling the world might be everyone’s dream now, but what if you could do it without ever leaving your spot? At VAGMAG, we loved this idea so much that we even coined a term in our own dictionary for Maggy’s unique style—her courage to be herself rather than trying to “influence” others with trends: The Maggy Effect 🌹

A little heads-up before you dive into her new article: it’s packed with Maggy Effect!

After journeying with her perspective to Syria, Argentina, Morocco, and Africa—all without moving—you’ll no longer be afraid of being yourself.

Enjoy the read, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts! 🤍

🌬️ Whispers from the Road

A voice postcard from Gstaad, Salzwasser, Switzerland. We wanted to capture the rhythm and sound of summer, just as we felt it 🤍

In the heart of the Bernese Alps, where silence stretches like snow across the peaks, Salzwasser rises as a modern sanctuary.

Named after the mineral-rich saltwater once believed to restore the balance of shepherds and travelers alike, this space draws from ancient Alpine traditions.

Salt, heat, and breath the essential elements of survival in the mountains are now the pillars of healing here.

It’s said that the people of these highlands once trusted the land not only for food and shelter, but for medicine.

And in places like Salzwasser, that trust still lingers in the warmth of the sauna, the clarity of the air, and the salt that remembers.

🌬️ Whispers from the Road

A voice postcard from Santa Domingo de Silos, Spain. We wanted to capture the rhythm and sound of summer, just as we felt it 🤍

You probably remember from school; there were always those students sitting in the front row, eager to take perfect notes and get top grades. They paid close attention to everything the teacher said.

But there was also a group at the back, chatting among themselves, listening to the lesson only “as much as they needed to.” They tossed paper balls, whispered about who liked whom, and kept themselves entertained.

One day, a teacher’s comment might not have reached the whole class but when one of those back-row students secretly wrote it on a small piece of paper and passed it around, suddenly everyone’s attention was caught.

More often than not, the biggest impact wasn’t made by the teacher at the front desk but by that small, spontaneous note moving through the back rows.

At VAGMAG, we believe travel is more than escape it’s how we reconnect with ourselves and the world.

We know what the “teacher” expects, but what truly matters are the notes that spark your curiosity and inspire you to explore. Think of these notes as your travel companion, to guide and inspire you ✨

Santa Domingo de Silos may be a quiet town, but it holds a story that still echoes through stone and silence.

In the 11th century, Benedictine monks here began to sing Gregorian chants not to perform, but to pray 🙏🏻

Some say if you sit in the cloister just before sunset, you’ll hear the walls hum softly, like they’re still holding the memory of those ancient voices.

Is travel for you just about stuffing yourself at an open buffet breakfast in a 5-star hotel and sunbathing? If so, maybe VAGMAG isn’t for you! 🫠

At VAGMAG, inspired by the seasons, we focus our travels on Sport, Culture, Gastronomy, and Nature. 🎿🏛️🥘🌲

We collect stories and routes from these journeys and share them with you through our VAGMAG Sunday Postcards 📮 and VAGMAG Monthly Letters, just as if we were sharing them with a loved one 💌

So, how many of the world’s hiking trails do you know? 🌿🌱

In our Nature Quarter, we explore different routes around the world, simply by grabbing our backpacks. We don’t expect a hotel at the end of the road, and we don’t dream of sunbathing all day.  We are the ones who find the feeling of being at home in the journey itself 🤍

We hit the road to discover ourselves and to share our adventures with fellow travel-loving digital nomads.

If you love seeing new places while traveling, want to do sports, enjoy pushing your limits, and want to meet new people; there’s always a place for you in VAGMAG’s travel stories focused on culture, art, nature, or taste, in VAGY’s practical and stylish travel products, and of course, in V4G CLUB, which we founded for you to explore your travel destination with the most primitive means of transport: your legs.

As Idalia said in her latest story with Marcos, “Let’s walk together.”

Feel at home everywhere, with VAGMAG ❤️
