Maybe it's a childhood fascination, your family heritage, a longing for adventure. Whatever it is, it's not a want, it's a need. It's the need to travel. We here at Blue Chalk have it, and we have a feeling that you have it too. 

This winter, on assignment for T Brand Studio (the custom content studio in the Advertising Department of The New York Times) and Emirates, the Blue Chalk team had the opportunity to tell two stories about the richness of travel.

The first, “Now Boarding: Making Waves” (pictured above), follows Josh Stewart as he journeys halfway around the world to follow his childhood calling to dive deep into the waters of the Indian Ocean in search of manta rays.

The second, "Now Boarding: Spice of Life," journeys with Brooklyn newlyweds Chitra Agrawal and Ben Garthus on their honeymoon in New Delhi. Together they spend a month traveling across Chitra's homeland of India and the country's many food markets to find inspiration for their “Brooklyn Delhi” condiment line.

Take a moment to follow along and savor the richness of travel. And consider, what's your next destination?
