Tony Jefferson joins BIT Voices Podcast to talk about Traveling Session, a traveler-first social platform built around Personalized Travel Discovery.

Most travel platforms point everyone toward the same popular destinations, attractions, and tourist traps. Tony is building something different: a platform that helps people discover places based on how they actually travel, what they value, and who they trust.

In this conversation, Tony shares how his 21 years of U.S. Air Force, IT, and cybersecurity experience shaped the way he thinks about travel, community, and building technology. After spending more than a decade stationed overseas in Japan, Germany, and South Korea, he saw the gap between generic recommendations and authentic local experiences.

We talk about travel styles, overtourism, algorithmic bias, hidden gems, foodie travel, Black travelers seeing more of the world, and what it takes to bootstrap a custom-coded platform from the ground up.

Tony also breaks down why Traveling Session is focused on the traveler, not just the destination — and why real perspectives from real travelers matter more than another generic top-ten list.
