Travel: Independent abroad
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.SCANDINAVIA appears to be a happy hunting ground for Independent buyers (Independent Traveller, 2 October). Michael Drake of Milton Keynes got a copy of the paper from Vito, 'a small newsagent-cum-greengrocer in Tromso, 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. They have between 40 and 60 foreign newspapers available daily.'
Christine Block of Woodbridge, Suffolk, says she bought the same day's Independent at Oslo Central Station at lunchtime: 'We were impressed.' Clodagh Wilkinson of London recommends the Prince kiosk in Copenhagen's Town Hall square for a same-day copy. Kathryn Chinn of Munich gets her same-day copy of the paper before lunchtime in the Munich suburb of Schwabing: 'One wonders if one would be able to find a same- day copy of the Suddeutsche Zeitung in a newsagent in a suburb of Birmingham.' (We can't comment on suburban Birmingham, but Italian sports fans in London are well served: Fags and Mags in Golden Lane, EC1, offers a same-day La Gazzetta dello Sport from 8am.)
Mr A C Preston of Stockport visited the newspaper stall near the Star Ferry in Hong Kong and discovered not only a copy of the Independent ('priced at pounds 2 sterling') but also a copy of the Manchester Evening News.
A nomination for the most expensive copy of the Independent to be bought abroad comes from Philip Towell of Boston, Lincolnshire: 'The Hotel Preboltiskaya in Moscow is selling the Independent for pounds 6, which is stretching our loyalty a bit]'
