It's the time of the year to be merry, and plan for a merrier travel future. Whether this year quashed your adventurer's soul, or kept you from exploring a cultural bucket list, there's always 2021 to fix it. For our November issue, the global editions of NGT bring to you 25 timely tales of timeless places that will define your future itineraries. Head to Alonissos, Greece's Mediterranean haven for seals—and a deep dive into ancient shipwrecks. Or turn to Tulsa in Oklahoma—a hub for discussion on race in the US. These superlative destinations speak of resilient communities, smart sustainability efforts, and unforgettable experiences for post-pandemic explorations. Plan now, and travel (sooner than) later! Also in the issue: an interview with fitness enthusiast Milind Soman, travel skills that will come in handy for future journeys, and a feature on why Edinburgh's streets have become pedestrian-only zones.
