Kirstin February 10, 2019

The moment I scrolled to Zabby Allen's post announcing her new magazine the Procrastination Paper, I knew I wanted to read it.

The Procrastination Paper's mantra of 'spend more time offline' made…

Kyoto Journal was founded in 1987 and recently published its 92nd issue. Interestingly, Kyoto Journal is a not for profit organisation that is driven entirely by volunteers…
