The new summer issue of T Travel charts the season’s most intriguing spots both near and far, from the Ontario lakes and the beating heart of Provence to a Himalayan wonderland in the north of India and the otherworldly desert of Namibia. (Be sure to check out Norbert Schoerner’s film “Soar,” shot near the Namib-Naukluft National Park, the site of our cover shoot.) We also take a look at how the creative class is shaking up Copenhagen; a new hotel that’s drawing attention to Australia’s Kangaroo Island; and even an unlikely artistic revival in Paducah, Ky. Plus: a guide to Beijing, the laid-back Italian island of Ischia, shopping in Barcelona and more. So come hit the road with us, no passport necessary.
