Inside find out about an off-grid, mirrored guesthouse on an extinct volcano in Mexico; a beachside coffee bar, roastery and skate park in the Philippines; a surf school in Morocco; a guesthouse, chef residency and orchard overlooking Mount Etna in Italy; a collective creating space for people of color in the wilderness in the US; a handcrafted furniture workshop and showroom plus a donut and coffee shop in Japan; and lots more dream businesses all around the world.

Plus: alongside the photo essays, read up on industry trends and deep dives that take you all around the world. We’ve distilled years of insights to help you take the first step towards launching your own dream business.
