Paul & Shark Journey Diary Vol. I

Exploring Bhutan with Monocle

Every journey begins with curiosity. The desire to venture beyond the familiar, discover new horizons and experience the world from a different perspective. Because exploration is not simply about reaching a destination, but about everything we discover along the way.

Inspired by a spirit of discovery and a passion for the world around us, Paul & Shark introduces Journey Diary: a new editorial series celebrating the art of exploration, the richness of different cultures and the stories that make every journey meaningful. A collection of destinations, encounters and perspectives, with each new chapter opening the way to the next.

For its first chapter, Paul & Shark joins Monocle on a journey to Bhutan, a remarkable Himalayan kingdom where unspoiled nature, centuries-old traditions and a thoughtful vision of the future come together.

From towering mountain peaks and pristine forests to cliffside monasteries and the skilled hands of local artisans, Journey Diary Vol. I invites readers to look beyond the familiar and discover a country shaped by its people, landscapes and enduring traditions.

Through seven chapters exploring Happiness, Nature, Culture, Hospitality, Cuisine, Spirituality and Adventure, the diary reveals the many dimensions of Bhutan, capturing the encounters, experiences and unexpected discoveries that give travel its deeper meaning.

More than a travel guide, Journey Diary reflects the Paul & Shark spirit: a constant curiosity for the world, the freedom to explore and the belief that every journey leaves us with meaningful experiences and lasting inspiration.

Bhutan is where our diary begins. New horizons await, and the journey continues.
