Magazine
Crafting a world where people are open-minded about what others have to say, are sincerely curious to learn from their stories & strive to live an inspired and inspiring life.
I collaborate with international storytellers to curate, create & publish
thought-provoking content that aims to inspire and spark curiosity.
Welcome to Let’s Explore Magazine, a unique, thematic publication driven by the spirit of exploration and curiosity. This magazine is a global collaboration, bringing together storytellers worldwide to craft a rich, diverse collection of thought-provoking content. Quality should never be rushed, which is why each issue takes as long as needed to perfect—even up to a year.
Collaborative storytelling
Since its inception, Let’s Explore Magazine has partnered with over 100 international storytellers and reached readers in 17 countries. Although the publication no longer exists in its printed form, my passion for curiosity and creativity remains as strong as ever, with future projects set to continue this inspiring journey.
Themed Issues
Once the issue’s theme is announced online, anyone can submit their story ideas. The final selection of contributors is carefully curated based on the potential of their stories and how the collection as a whole can inspire readers to venture beyond the pages. My goal is to create a narrative that sparks curiosity and invites exploration long after the issue is finished, leaving readers with a lasting sense of wonder.
Empowerment Features
The latest issue explores the theme of Empowerment, through 20 contributed stories by storytellers from across the globe. The variety of interpretations, thought-provoking essays, personal experiences and stunning images aim to inspire you to go on a quest of your own.
Contextual Design
Exploration is Curiosity put into Action
~ Don Walsh
The contextually oriented new design offers a glimpse into the author’s mind. Inspiration for certain passages and links for further reading are shared in the page’s margins. As a reader, you are invited to explore outside of the confinements of this single publication. Let each theme or its introduced sub-themes be a starting point for you to dive deeper into the subject matter.
Custom Notebook
To help you with collecting your thoughts and ideas in a meaningful manner – starting with the Empowerment issue – I have included a custom notebook. It is nestled in the back to always be part of the publication. The top margin proposes elements in the magazine to refer to so that passages that inspired your note can easily be traced.
The redesigned magazine aims to enhance the interactive experience, offering space to make notes of your own or reference pages in the notebook. Distances between the lines of text have been increased, making it possible to easily underline words, without crossing out the original text. This way, the overall sensory experience of the magazine stays nice and clean.
From print to online interactivity
To make all the marginalia that have been provided in the magazine accessible, each feature comes with a unique QR code. Scanning this with the camera of your phone will direct you to the features page on this website. Here you will find a clickable list of the marginalia as well as a biography and links to the contributor’s profiles
Conscious Publishing
Let’s Explore Magazine is produced 100% CO2 neutral, with a mix of paper that has been responsibly sourced according to the FSC® standards. The percentage of CO2 released in the entire production process (from paper production to logistics) is compensated by reducing the same amount of CO2 elsewhere.
This compensation is realized in collaboration with NatureOffice®. NatureOffice® initiates and supports projects in which CO2 emissions are avoided, limited or compensated. These are Gold Standard Projects in the field of nature management or sustainable energy from sun, wind, water or biomass.
In addition to using FSC® certified paper and CO2 neutral printing, pre-orders of the Empowerment issue have raised enough money to plant 219 trees through Trees for All.
