Crepulja said her covers were designed to conjure up a sense of adventure and wonderment, which she believes can have a lasting impact on a new generation of younger travellers.
As such, she has pledged a third of her fee to Exodus’ Inspiration Project, which aims to show disadvantaged children around the world what their own countries have to offer.
“We wanted to ensure a portion of the money spent on creating these brochures goes back into the communities we visit where it can influence real, positive social exchanges,” said Tom Harari, Exodus’s responsible tourism manager.
Crepulja added: “Travel is about learning about yourself and your place in the world. Kids from challenging backgrounds need to understand opportunities do exist for them.”
She said the designs were inspired by Exodus destinations such as Vietnam’s Halong Bay in Vietnam, Costa Rica’s Arenal Volcano and Nepal’s Gokyo Lakes.
