Frequently Asked Questions

What is RUNAWAY?

RUNAWAY is an independent travel magazine and online platform based in Dubai. It features places I’ve personally visited, and I only accept hosted stays if they genuinely fit. The magazine shares honest, firsthand travel experiences with a focus on real stories, unique destinations, and meaningful adventures. RUNAWAY aims to inspire readers to explore beyond the usual tourist routes, embracing both well-known and hidden gems.

Can I collaborate with RUNAWAY?

Yes — RUNAWAY partners with tourism boards, hotels, and experience providers for editorial coverage, destination features, and seasonal campaigns. If you're interested in working together, please visit the Contact page or email runawaysoph@gmail.com.

Do you accept press trips or hosted stays?

RUNAWAY accepts hosted stays, but only features destinations and properties that are a good fit editorially. Any coverage is always honest and experience-driven. For media and collaboration requests, see our Media Kit.

How often is the magazine released?

RUNAWAY is a quarterly publication, with new issues released at the start of each season — Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter — each spotlighting 12 curated destinations.

How can I get the latest issue?

Each new issue is announced on this website and Instagram @runaway.mag. You can buy the latest edition under the Magazine section.

I’m planning a trip — can I ask for advice?

Absolutely. While I can’t always respond to every individual itinerary, I’m always happy to offer suggestions. Follow along on Instagram for destination tips and inspiration, or drop me a message if there's something specific you're planning.
