A new New York travel agency is offering voyagers the chance to embrace the unexpected in their next travel experience.
The Bureau of Unknown Destinations offers,
temporary displacements to members of the public seeking to experiment with their migratory impulses… We have provided the opportunity for voyagers to set forth, free of decisions, into the great (or perhaps, in this case, the small) unknown. To test their sense of destiny. To have lunch someplace new.
Beginning January 12th, the agency located in Brooklyn, New York gave away 100 free round trip tickets for train adventures in the New York area. The day trips began with each lucky explorer tearing open a sealed envelope revealing the mystery of where they would find themselves by noon and a small task for them to accomplish on their journey.
While the Bureau has given away all of its free tickets, its current project, dubbed a “Psychogeographic Destination Kit” will be made free to the public soon. Their website claims the new kit will provide everything a traveler needs to voyage to an unknown destination… just without a ticket.
The Bureau of Unknown Destinations is all part of a three month artist’s residency by Sal Randolph at Proteus Gowanus.
