VAGMAG | Slow & Quiet Luxury Travel Journal

feel at home

VAGMAG is a slow & quiet luxury travel journal, sharing walking travel guides and mindful, low-impact ways of exploring cities and feeling at home anywhere.

Like home. Like work. Somewhere in between.

The places we return to without an agenda. Where time loosens, conversations stretch, and belonging doesn’t need an explanation.

Cafés, bars, diners, corners of the city that quietly become part of who we are.

Think of Friends.
The coffee shop wasn’t a backdrop, it was the glue.

Third places aren’t about where you are. They’re about who you get to be there. Third places don’t just host stories. They shape them.

And maybe that’s why we keep searching for them
in every new city —
not to belong forever,
but to belong for an afternoon.

DID.

They didn’t just work here. They existed here.

Jean‑Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir didn’t just meet in cafés.

They worked, observed, argued and became themselves there.

Some ideas need a third place to become real.

Coffee used to mean staying awake.

Somewhere along the way, it started meaning something else.

Making time. Allowing a pause. Letting someone prepare something with care, just for you.

Coffee isn’t an energy boost anymore. It’s a quiet way of saying: I care about myself.

With you,
VAGMAG

Silver doesn’t take you somewhere else.
It reflects where you already are.

Monday mood, in metallic tones.
Not gold. Not bold.
Just reflective surfaces and familiar comforts.

A suitcase that mirrors the room before the road.
A slow moment before movement.
A reminder that even hesitation has its own elegance.

Some Sundays are meant to be remembered quietly.

A fireplace. A familiar warmth. And a simple reminder we tend to forget in the rush of everyday life.

Today’s Sunday Postcard came from Istanbul, and it carried just two words worth holding onto:

"Life is much shorter than we think.
Remember."

This season, VAGMAG’s Sundays are less about where we are going and more about what makes us feel at home.

with care,
IDA from VAGMAG 🤍

Chose differently.

Not because it was brave, or certain, or even safe.

Sometimes direction isn’t about knowing where you’ll arrive, but recognizing where you don’t belong.

Some journeys begin the moment you stop walking with the crowd.

Some winter gear carries a sense of freedom. ❄️

Built for cold air and early mornings, for that quiet focus that settles in before movement begins. Technical by nature, never sentimental — yet instantly familiar to anyone who knows the feeling of standing still at the top, just before going downhill.

At VAGMAG, we notice the moments of travel shaped by motion, and the objects that quietly remind us why we move in the first place. Skipping noise, keeping intention. Letting winter set the pace. 🎿

Some comfort foods travel well.

Too simple for magazine covers, but familiar enough to remember sharing a bag with friends as kids, or falling asleep on a bed with a movie playing and promises of staying awake.

The crunch matters.
So does crumpling the empty bag after.

VAGMAG notices the quiet moments of travel
and the small companions
that make us feel at home,
anywhere.

There are parts of travel no one tells you about.

When we travel, the first things that come to mind are usually where we will stay or what we will see.

At VAGMAG, there are moments we consider just as valuable.

Moments shaped by behaviors no one explicitly tells you, yet somehow expects you to understand. Etiquette, in this sense, feels less like a set of rules and more like a language.

Our new series, Unwritten Rules of Travel, begins now.
Full piece on Substack.

The best way to take you back to these moments felt like cinema.

Each image in this carousel is a still from films that quietly hold the same attention to space, waiting, distance, and presence we’re speaking about here.

Film references include Before Sunrise, In the Mood for Love, Chungking Express, Three Colors: Blue, Paris, Texas, You’ve Got Mail, The English Patient, and Lost in Translation.

Just a long train journey 🚂🛤️

Just a long train journey 🚂🛤️

Sometimes happiness has nothing to do with plans 🥠

It lives in being outdoors. In wandering through a mercado with no list.
 In overheard conversations, fresh colors, familiar smells 🦪
 In exchanging a few words with locals, even when you don’t share the same language.
These are our timeless moments of travel. Unrushed, unfiltered, quietly alive 🤸🏻‍♀️

At VAGMAG, we see weekends not as destinations, but as open spaces to feel a little more at home, wherever we are.

Walk slowly. Look closely.

with you, Your Travel VAGMAG

VOYAC / voyacing

the brief, disorienting sensation you feel when waking up in a new place 🥱🛋️🛌
 those few seconds of trying to find your bearings, reminding you how far you’ve traveled in search of belonging.

a word we use at @vaginismusmagazine for travelers, drifters, and anyone who has ever woken up questioning where they are and why they chose this shiny life 🤍

Not every journey is loud.

Some are made of moments that don’t ask to be shared.

Tables after life happens 🫗

Half-finished cups, plates left behind, conversations already gone.

We rarely stop to look back. But when we do, we remember how far we’ve come and that some of the things we once wished for quietly found us along the way.

Feeling at home is sometimes this simple and it’s just same all over the world 🛋️

Tucked inside İzmir Kültürpark, the Pakistan Pavilion carries traces of the city’s fair history while continuing to host contemporary exhibitions today. 🖼️

Built as part of the international pavilions during İzmir’s long-standing fair culture, the space has quietly evolved into a place where art, memory and everyday life intersect.

Whether you stop by in the morning or wander in during the afternoon, there is always an exhibition to encounter here. It is the kind of place you can enter without a plan, spend a few quiet moments with art, and leave feeling gently inspired. ✨

For us, the Pakistan Pavilion is one of those spaces that makes you slow down, look closer, and feel welcome. That is why it holds a place in our Places That Feel Like Home: İzmir Guide by VAGMAG.

Izmir sits on the Aegean coast as Türkiye’s third-largest city, and there’s always something here that makes you instantly feel at ease ❤️

BonVivant is one of those places that makes you feel at home the moment you step inside 🏡 Once a Greek house with over a century of history, it has been carefully restored and thoughtfully designed. Carrying the atmosphere of the 19th century and the social and cultural texture of old Izmir, BonVivant is just a short walk from Cumhuriyet Boulevard. And during that short walk, it’s almost impossible not to get lost for a moment in the charm of the surrounding historic buildings. 🏛️

At VAGMAG, we value the feeling of being at home wherever we go 🤍

We want to make cafes, restaurants, and bars that offer this feeling more visible, but we also recognize that not every place feels like the same kind of home.

That’s why we divide this experience into four simple categories: places that feel like a “student house,” quick stops with room to grow; places that feel like “your own home,” comfortable and familiar; places that feel like “your parents’ home,” effortlessly welcoming, where you instantly become part of the place; and finally, places that feel like “your grandmother’s home,” filled with warmth, nostalgia, and the kind of memories that stay with you ✨

BonVivant is one of those places that feels like a parents’ home to us. A spot we know we’ll return to again and again, where we loved listening to the story of its restoration, and where—if we’re in Izmir—we always stop by, even if only to see the exhibition they have on display at that moment.

It will soon be featured in VAGMAG’s Mindtrip.ai Guide to Places That Feel Like Home in Izmir📍 a curated list for those who love living well and finding inspiration in beautifully crafted spaces. Don’t forget to check it out through the link in our bio.

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? ❤️

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 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.

A short reflection from Idalia, Nature Quarter editor, based on her hiking experience in Alicante, Spain:
“We must realize that with every step we take, we leave different possibilities behind.” 
Don’t you think that time spent in nature is about more than just fresh air and movement?

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 ❤️

It’s Tuesday, and our Gastronomy Quarter has already published its new story! ❤️‍🔥

As July days get hotter and stepping outside feels like walking into an oven, we’re not talking about cooking, but “assembling.” 🫠

We’re taking a page from every self-respecting Italian’s summer playbook with friselle, diving deep into the flavors of July.

Click the link in bio right now to read @meggy.bianchini ‘s latest piece, “Summer Heat and Zero Cooking: How to Eat Well Without Sweating.”

Family members complaining about no food at home? They definitely need to hear this side of the story!

How would it feel to receive a heartfelt letter from a loved one far away, every single month?

At VAGMAG, every quarter, we send out letters from a different editor for three months, just as if we were sending them to a loved one, a friend, or a family member 🤍

In these letters, we talk about what we’ve been up to, ask how your month has been, and touch upon the focus of that quarter 📮

As we’re in our Gastronomy Quarter, the July 2025 letter comes from @meggy.bianchini from “Maggy’s Table.” 💌

Maggy invites you to her table in a different corner of the world. We’ll chat about what’s happening and share a traditional recipe special to that month.

If you’d like to join us, we invite you to subscribe to our website via the link in our bio and to our newsletter on Substack ❤️

As Maggy says, “There’s always a seat for you at our table.”
