I FINALLY have the mental breathing space to reflect on how we ended the year on a high, with a new issue freshly pressed and out on stands now.
Q4, as always, you were a wild ride. Therefore it’s fitting that
@outofofficeme ’s Issue 12 (Winter 2025), Remote Escapes, highlights the far-flung hideaways that can help us hit the reset button in time for 2026; places that encourage us to remain in the moment, offline, away from the crowds and cocooned in tranquillity.
Whether it’s taking in the untouched beauty of Shura Island at
@intercontinentalredsea or enjoying a staycation high above the clouds in a suite at
@mo_downtowndubai , give yourself permission this holiday season to relish the calm of a faraway destination this winter – even if it means stepping away from your laptop for a couple of days during a staycation or, even, for just a few hours; quality time spent away from screens with family, friends and loved ones. (You’ll find me retreating to the Pacific Northwest, escaping to my own little slice of remote paradise in my hometown of West Vancouver within the lush, old-growth forest trails of Lighthouse Park; taking in the fresh sea air and ocean views, phone firmly on Airplane Mode.)
As always a HUGE thanks to our ace team that that work so hard on OOO:
