Another Escape is an independent media company championing outdoor lifestyle, environmental stewardship and regenerative living. Through celebrating the stories of those inspired by nature, we encourage people to connect with the natural world in meaningful ways so they may become active stewards of our planet.
Our story
On a mission to build culture and community around environmental stewardship and regenerative living through championing outdoor lifestyle and nature connection.
In 2012, Another Escape founders, Rachel Maria Taylor and Jody Daunton, came together to create a high-quality lifestyle publication that inspires a connection to the great outdoors, considered ways of living, environmental stewardship and a sense of fulfilment in our everyday lives. Through our love for storytelling, and working alongside our small team and a talented network of contributors, we have crafted a product for a community of outdoors people who are creative, curious and adventurous. We believe that if we can foster a meaningful relationship with nature then we may be best equipped and most motivated to offer stewardship to our planet, especially now, at a time when it so desperately needs it.

Production values
We are continually evaluating our processes and looking to learn more in an effort to be kinder to our planet. We admit we aren’t perfect, but here’s a little insight into some of the ways we try to minimise our impact.
Our printing and production are done by Park Communications, London, who are committed to minimising their environmental impact, and won Environmental Printer of the Year Award at the PrintWeek Awards 2017, and were a finalist for the award in 2018. With them, Another Escape prints in vegetable-based inks on FSC and EU Eco-label paper, and all printing plates used in magazine’s production are recycled after use, and all waste is disposed of responsibly.
In contrast to much of the publishing industry, we attempt to calculate the true number of copies we will actually sell, and we print only that amount. We don’t want unread magazines going to waste; we want them in the hands of readers who will enjoy them. To do this, we work closely with regional distributors and operate in-house distribution solutions, working directly with stockists to reduce waste as much as possible. When working directly with stockists, we ensure that carbon-neutral couriers are used.
The longevity of our product is important to us. Another Escape has been crafted to be timeless, with in-depth content and high-quality production. It isn’t a throw-away magazine, it’s a publication to be kept, cherished and shared. When you are finally finished with your copy, we encourage you to share it with others or recycle it.
Another Escape is printed on Edixion Offset, FSC certified with EU Ecolabel, 300gsm / 120gsm. We use Gordita and Plantin typefaces.
