WASHINGTON -- If you're planning on traveling or studying abroad, check out Glimpse magazine -- http://www.glimpse.org -- which is geared toward college students and young adults interested in international issues.

"We publish articles written by students living abroad to get at real life, rather than tourist attractions or news stories," said Editor in Chief Kerala Goodkin, who co-founded the magazine five years ago with a friend, Nick Fitzhugh. "We're trying to provide a cultural context to current events in the world."

The quarterly magazine's motto is "Real Life Abroad." It is published by an independent foundation, but is largely supported by the National Geographic Society. Its editorial offices are in the society's Washington headquarters.

Glimpse prints about 10,000 copies per issue, with most copies distributed through study-abroad offices, but it's also available on newsstands and by paid subscription -- $17.95 for a year.
