We are photographer and writer Frances Mocnik, and design writer and author, Heidi Dokulil, and a community of creative trailblazers inspiring new ways to travel.
We met in the surf in Sydney and bonded over a shared love of nature and exploring the world through a creative lens. With backgrounds in the arts, journalism, architecture and design, travel for us has been shaped by culture.
Seeing creativity as a catalyst for good was the start of our new kind of travel platform. Through The New Set, we connect with the makers, designers, artists, architects and change-makers who help us slow down and see the world more fully. Aligning ourselves with planet first principles, we champion the people and places shifting the status quo, enriching both us and the planet.
From a small city hotel designed in tune with its location and local culture; a simple architecture-led nature cabin in the wilderness; immersive workshops with ceramic artists; and train trips and walks that connect us to the magic of the bush, the regions and the city; we feature the people and places that go deeper. With interviews, films, photo essays and guides that bring it all together.
Join us and The New Set community and nurture your creative side. Live like a designer. Travel like a writer. Experience like a creator.
