Kiona and I have an exceptionally wide-ranging conversation about travel, cultural appropriation, race, activism, trauma and so much more.

Frustrated by conventional, mainstream travel writing, Kiona decided to tell a different story. Through her own travel experiences and by curating content with differing perspectives based on color, sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity and country of origin, Kiona encourages her readers to use travel as an enriching experience for both the traveler and the native people, culture and land they are visiting.
