Stranger's Guide is an American magazine and multi-platform publisher, based in Austin, Texas and Oakland, California. It features articles in the fields of travel, literature, and place-based journalism.[1]

It was founded in 2018 in Austin, as Stranger's Guide, a literary and travel quarterly magazine “that explores the power of place-based journalism to break down stereotypes and foster global citizenship.”[2] Rather than sending reporters into foreign locations, the magazine features original works by local sources.[3] Writers for Stranger's Guide volumes have included renowned journalists and writers such as Elena Poniatowska, Colum McCann, Wole Soyinka, Viet Thanh Nguyen, Dan Rather and Jason Rezaian.[4]
