The best way to know any part of the world is to get a local to walk you around, tell you some stories and explain the local culture, but the fact remains that the statistical chances of having 50 well-informed friends in 50 different states are rather scarce, so you’ll have to trust some other source to get some insight to local affairs, traditions and charm; thus, if you lost your New Mexico connection, NMmagazine.com is the way to get it back. This private magazine is published once a month in partnership with the local tourism department, and by taking a look at the site you’ll be able to read selected highlights, take a look at videos depicting a variety of local events, listen to typical music or explore the state by taking a photo tour; you can also find book reviews or visit the marketplace to buy local products like posters or cosmetics. Home blues? Try subscribing to the print edition of the magazine to have a bit of your hometown delivered to your home each month.
