We love to travel, and we love magazines. We also love to stay in off-the-beaten-track locations and unique hotels filled with the charm and love only possible with independent owners. That’s when Snezny was born. We curate a collection of individual hotels and accommodation-serving properties that boast unique character. There are so many unique owner-operator hotels out there that exude charm and artistic flair. When it comes to print publications, these places are rarely mentioned - Snezny will change all of that. Our journey started as an online website, connecting with independent owners, growing our audience, and driving traffic to our website. We now work with over 70 independent owners across 5 different countries. We want to celebrate the people behind independent places to stay, as well as propose off-the-beaten-track locations that not many people know about. Our dream is to grow the magazine into a healthy and supportive platform for those with a strong passion for travel and adventure. On 22 December we released our first issue as a proof of concept. This is Volume 2. "A fellow of mediocre talent will remain a mediocrity, whether he travels or not; but one of superior talent will go to seed if he always remains in the same place."
