on it with “discover the magazine “ statement. Lonely planet
Logo is also present on the top of lay out.

like Nat geo traveller ) with lonely planet logo and edition date
and country.

traveller magazine because of its vast features
and free guides.

beach, island, mountain with snow, park scene
and a palace scene is just perfect.

many headings like post cards, our planet,5
