Lifestyle Asia's September 2025 Travel and Motion issue explores the ultimate expression of freedom and luxury for the younger generation: luxury as the capacity to move, to choose, to experience the world’s infinite variations.

We look into movement in all its forms, from literal journey to even finding the perfect place to pause and take it all in. Because motion only gains meaning when balanced with moments of stillness. Our cover story with Monica Lorenzo, Director of Leisure Development at Torres Lorenzo Development Corporation, perfectly embodies this balance.

We also delve into the mind-body connection and overcoming the freeze response that can block us from seizing opportunities. Our travel stories take you from the local landscapes of Batanes to the thoughtful beauty of Sikkim, India, while photographer Gab Mejia shares insights on capturing the beauty of the world through his lens. We explore the growing momentum of electric vehicles; the kinetic energy of The Fifth Wall Festival, celebrating dance and movement; and the restoration of “moving” pictures in Philippine cinema.

Welcome to our third print issue.
