Fields & Stations | Issue 5

After an interminable wait – and a relocation from the UK to Portugal – we are enormously proud that this issue is finally seeing the light of print!

Opening with our very own Fields & Stations travel manifesto and an incisive essay on decolonising travel writing by Meera Dattani, this issue is devoted to deeper dives.

And what lovely deeper dives these are: Zora O'Neill on panoramas and their cultural mythologies; Alicia Kennedy on San Juan's El Batey; Annemarie Dooling on chicken parmigiana in North America; Jamie Lafferty on love, light, and loss in Antarctica; and Liana Aghajanian on meat and home among Mongolian shamans.e

Of course we have a few tiny jewels to add to your necklace string: Nick Myers' gorgeous souvenirs from Asmara; Yolanda Evans' list of cocktails worth the journey; Lee Cobaj's Macau address book; Gabriel Leigh's dream flights; and Karin van Mierlo's photo essay of Lisbon emerging from its first lockdown last year.
