Travel Adventures From Your iPad - NYTimes.com

Travel Adventures From Your iPad - NYTimes.com: Think of it as an iTunes for travel articles, said Michel Elings, co-founder of TRVL, an Amsterdam-based company. From the app, users can download issues to their device for free, each dedicated to a single destination.

To read a TRVL article on the iPad is to be transported to that destination, with excellent photography and evocative storytelling. Readers can dive in further by exploring the app’s interactive features: embedded videos, integrated locator maps and links to attractions mentioned in the piece. At the end of each issue is a photographer’s journal, offering insight into how the story and its subjects were approached.
