Volume 13 continues our storytelling of people and places through an unhurried, personal lens. The Living Issue explores life and its immediate surroundings—from a rural village in Mexico and a home away in Sri Lanka, to unexpected discoveries across Nepal. This edition also introduces the inaugural chapter of Hotel Musotrees, where we document our stays at select properties—ranging from boutique resorts to heritage stays. For this first release, The Living Issue features eleven considered hotels across Sri Lanka and India.
