The 21st century world is a world accessible to many more people; the idea of maintaining an alliance to ambiguous borders is no longer relevant for cultural fiends like you and me. We travel to taste, explore, examine, connect and bridge our reality to foreign lands. This may come in the form of eating our way through a continent or photographing the people we come across. We have the power to relate. We do this because we live by a common standard of the 21st century: we are citizens of the world. Through the practice of incessant movement comes the explosion of new ideas and new perspectives. We travel to learn and collaborate.
This blog is dedicated to cultural beat-boxers, foodies with courage, cinephiles, admirers of foreign storefronts, addicts of change, lovers of airports terminals, photogs with passports, cultural mestizos…and on and on and on.
I conceived Citoyen Mag (See-Toy-En) on the railroad tracks of Germany, the peseros of Mexico City and the airways of North America. I plan to continue my travels for the rest of my life.
