In search of new magazine titles from all over the globe, I widened my span to look beyond the indie publishing meccas: New York or London. I was delighted to find an array of titles from Hawaii and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to flip through the pages and share my favorites.

1. Flux
Tagged “The Current of Hawaii” the title explores thoughtful writing on travels, short trips, local artists — with a new theme in every issue (this issue is about Movement). Aimed at the intelligent reader who has Hawaii at top of mind, Flux magazine informs about where to go, what to see, and how to respond to a world in flux. A wonderful curated look at island arts, culture, style, travel, and design.

2. Hale
In the Hawaiian language, hale (pronounced huh’-leh) translates to “home” or “host”. The title is an intimate expression of the aloha spirit and a reflection of the hospitality of the Ko Olina resort — the only place where you can pick up to read the title. This issue explores the world of young Hawaiian lifeguards and the history of the Palehua region.
Available exclusively at Ko Olina resort in Kapolei, HI
3. Lei
Lei is the traditional Hawaiian symbol of love and friendship. The title is unique for the area and welcomes, entertains, and gives thanks to queer travelers before, during, and after their journeys to Hawaii. From LGBT rock climbing club to the best novel places for food and explorations.
