Looking for some top travel magazines for your holiday to while away those hours at the beach? Here are my top picks from the Readly app for some serious travel inspiration.
I used to be obsessed with magazines, ob-sessed.
At the height of my addiction I’d read at least 5 a week. I even studied an NCTJ course in Magazine Journalism at Harlow College, and had a ‘glittering’ career in magazines for six years. I worked on BBC Good Food, X Factor Mag, Top Sante, Zoo and Zest, among others.
And then I, and the kinda stuff I wanted to read, went online.
I hadn’t realised how much I missed them, until I signed up to Readly.
Download the Readly App, sign up and you’ll have access to over 6000 magazines whenever and wherever you want them – kinda like a ‘Spotify for magazines’. Use your Readly subscription to sign up the best travel magazines and you’ll have them delivered straight to your phone / tablet as soon as they’re published.
Also, you don’t need to take up precious luggage space with heavy magazines and newspapers, instead, for just the weight of your tablet or even just your phone, you can have all these publications at your fingertips.
Download to your device and you can access all the publications in whatever language you desire, wherever you are.
Stung by airport queues?
Stuck on the tarmac?
Held up by train strikes?
Queueing for a ferry crossing?
Then just load up your Readly app and you can be entertained for hours. Scroll through the titles to find the one for you – from interiors, to celebs, to tech and gardening. Readly have so many magazines covering so many topics, I can guarantee there’ll be one for you.
Of course, I’m naturally drawn to the top travel magazines, so I’ve made my way through them to find the most interesting travel magazines for your holidays to keep your mind just busy enough for when your body is just lying on a lounger.
