We muse on the cultural obstacle course the festive period presents us as we seek to escape from the cold – but not without the promise of winter sun. We’ll drop into London’s Tate Modern for the Gucci-backed exhibition, ‘Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet’, then we’ll look at Alpine fashion with outdoors manufacturer Helly Hansen, meet Turkish singer Melike Sahin and chase the winter sun with a surfing adventure in Morocco.

Chasing winter sun

Cover art for Konfekt Korner

One of winter’s gifts is that it gives pause for thought, a moment in which we can slow down and collect ourselves. If you are able to solo travel and fully absorb your surroundings during said pause, all the better. For this month’s final thought, Konfekt’s deputy editor, Chiara Rimella, tells us about chasing waves in the winter sun.
