Danella explains her “living list” approach to travel, why Vietnam sits at the top of hers, and how deeply personal stories shape the way we explore the world. She also discusses the importance of destinations embracing their full history—comfortable or not—and how authentic storytelling creates meaningful connections with travelers.
