Roads & Kingdoms

Roads & Kingdoms is dedicated to a simple idea: the more you know, the better you travel. We use talented local journalists, deep storytelling, and the good things in life—food, music, booze—to inform and inspire about destinations around the globe. R&K won a 2018 Primetime Emmy for its series with Anthony Bourdain on eating through LA’s immigrant enclaves. R&K won a 2019 National Magazine Award for Best Website (Lifestyle and Service) and the 2017 James Beard Publication of the Year award. We focus on longform features and useful information for armchair and aisle-seat travelers alike. Our publishing partnerships include Explore Parts Unknown, the digital home for Bourdain’s award-winning show on CNN. We also partner with select brands. See R&K Productions for case studies and contacts. “Roads & Kingdoms” is cribbed from The Book of Roads & Kingdoms, a phenomenal early travelogue written in the 11th century by Abu Abdullah al-Bakri in Córdoba, now home to a mediocre football club playing in Spain’s second division.
