Native Foreigner Announces Digital-only Magazine for Travelers

A new, interactive resource for international travellers returning home.

Native Foreigner, an online community for travellers returning from an extended trip abroad, has just launched the first issue of its quarterly magazine, Native Foreigner Magazine. This digital-only magazine is designed for international travellers who are experiencing reverse culture shock and would like to share their stories, photos and videos from their time abroad. In addition, travellers can connect with one another through the online community at www.nativeforeignermag.com.

Native Foreigner Magazine includes personal travel articles, recipes, photos and information about upcoming events. The digital concept is not only interactive, but it gives subscribers quick and easy access to content. Various versions, including a flip-page design, tablet-friendly versions, downloadable pdfs and text-based articles make it easy for users to choose the format most suited to their needs.

“After returning to the United States after a year-and-a-half living in Costa Rica, I realized that there are very few resources for travellers adjusting to life back home,” says editor-in-chief Lindsay Hartfiel. “Native Foreigner was created as a support community for those international travelers who want to connect with others and share their experiences as they make the transition home.”

In addition to the magazine, Native Foreigner features a blog that is regularly updated with information about ways to cope with reverse culture shock as well as news pertaining to international travel. Travellers can also submit photos, videos and recipes that will be posted online.
