mañaña mag will be a place for the big and small things, the moments in life that made me smile, laugh, or burst with joy. It will tell stories about wandering and exploring new places, people and perspectives, and it will display the beauty the world holds for us – if we take a look.
mañaña wants to inspire you – to slow down, to open your eyes to your surroundings, to give a chance to encounters waiting for us around every corner. It encourages you to care about your environment – not only about our nature, but also about people. In times when the world seems to stumble from one crisis into another, mañana looks at what makes life worth living: feelings, experiences, and connectedness.
In Mexico, mañaña (Spanish for „tomorrow“) is almost a way of life. Things tend to be left for tomorrow – or any other day in the future –, because hey, who needs the rush when you can also take things slow. What can be a bit annoying to people from Europe (or let’s say: Germany) where everything (well, except maybe our beloved Deutsche Bahn) is based on punctuality and order, also has an appealing side to it: life in Mexico is more relaxed, slower. There’s always time for a small (or a longer) chat with the neighbour, or the cashier at the supermarket (and the people queuing really don’t mind at all, while the German inside me that I just don’t seem to be able to deny completely involuntarily starts to get nervous). During my time in Mexico, I quickly adapted to this “mañaña“ way of life. But back in busy Germany, at times I find it hard to preserve. Creating mañaña mag is my way of celebrating the slow, the nowness, the raw, and the majesty that lies in it.
mañaña is a magazine for dreamers and for makers, for the brave, the bold, and the adventurous, for the conscious and the curious.
