Karen Kandelman
Lives in London, UK
My name is Karen Kandelman, and I've had the incredible privilege of living in six diverse countries, traversing through fifty others, and immersing myself in the vibrant tapestry of human existence. I am originally from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil but have been living in London for 7 years now. From an early age, I was captivated by the beauty of diversity, drawn to the melodies of languages as varied as the landscapes they belong to. My linguistic odyssey began with Portuguese, my mother tongue, and expanded to include Spanish, English, French, and Dutch. These languages are not just a means of communication for me; they're windows into the hearts and minds of people from every corner of the Earth. My journey has taken me through bustling city streets and serene countryside, from the sun-soaked beaches of Brazil to the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. With every border crossed, I've embraced the local flavors that tell stories of heritage and tradition. Food, after all, is the world's most accessible work of art, a masterpiece that captures the essence of a culture with each delectable bite. Whether savoring a rich and hearty bouillabaisse in Marseille, indulging in the intricate spices of Indian cuisine, or relishing the delicate nuances of sushi in Tokyo, I've found my sense of wonder through the world's kitchens. But my exploration doesn't end with food; it extends to the world of art as well. Museums, galleries, and street art have been my guides to understanding the soul of each place I've visited. From the classical brushstrokes of the Louvre to the vibrant murals of Mexico City's neighborhoods, art has revealed the aspirations, struggles, and dreams of humanity throughout time. Through my experiences, I've come to understand that the essence of a place is not solely in its landmarks, but in the stories of its people. The elderly street vendor sharing tales of their family's recipes, the street artist pouring their heart onto the canvas of the city walls – these are the true narrators of a locale's spirit. As I continue this lifelong adventure of exploration, my goal is to bridge the gap between cultures, languages, and traditions. I aim to bring the world closer together, one plate and one canvas at a time. Through the lens of food and art, I hope to inspire others to embark on their own journeys of discovery, embracing the rich diversity that makes our planet an exquisite masterpiece. So, let's embark on this adventure together. As I share my stories, experiences, and musings, may we find common ground in our shared humanity and celebrate the kaleidoscope of life that surrounds us. Here's to the thrill of discovery, the joy of a new taste, and the beauty that is inherent in our world's every corner.

Petra Udomprasert
Lives in Bangkok, Thailand
Hi! I'm Petra! I’m Thai, born and raised. My business is based in the US, but I call Thailand and South Korea my homes and have lived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for several months. From my years living in Thailand and my annual 2-month-long visits, I'm especially knowledgeable and up-to-date about Thailand, its trends, and its culture. What are the coolest things to see and do (not necessarily the most touristy ones!), where are the best places to find authentic food (places that say "authentic" are out of the question), and which hotels have the best service... I can give you all these insider-level tips! I've lived in the US since 2015. As a digital nomad, I don't have a city or state that I'm based in, but I know LA especially well having lived there permanently for 8 years. Another of my expertise is South Korea, Seoul specifically, and Korean culture and history in general. Having grown up learning the language and visiting so often (14 times and counting), I can comfortably count Seoul as my second home. And I can confidently give you the best insider tips to Seoul just as well as Thailand! My travel style is culture-based. I love having deep connections with the local culture and people wherever I visit. So you won't find beach clubs or nightclubs much among my recommendations. Basically, if it is something you can see and experience at home, I'm not recommending it!

Susanna | Sustainable Travel
Lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada
Hey there, I'm Susanna, but you can call me Sooz! I was born and raised on Denai’ina Athabascan land in Chugiak, Alaska. I'm a dual-US-Canadian citizen who has lived in: 🇺🇸 Alaska (25 years) 🇺🇸 Las Vegas (2 years) 🇩🇪 Munich (7 years!) 🇨🇦 Vancouver (currently home) I am a sustainable travel expert with Alaska, Europe, Western Canada, and Australia as my areas of expertise. ♻️ I am passionate about helping people understand and plan sustainable travel adventures, gain confidence in building responsible itineraries independently, or rely on me for help. I aim to make a sustainable travel approachable and align with your values and interests to make it fun and beneficial for you and the communities you visit. 🐝I have an MSc in environmental science. My thesis explored the intersection of tourism and the environment. I have worked in the tourism industry for over a decade as a local Alaskan guide, travel blogger, freelance writer, and academic. 🎒After my first backpacking trip to Europe 15 years ago and solo travel in Brazil, I started my first travel blog. It has undergone many transformations but is now a 100% sustainable travel resource. Travel left me feeling too big for my small town, and one day, I loaded up my trusty Subaru and drove to Las Vegas, where I met my now-Australian husband at a nightclub. That serendipitous encounter led to us moving to Germany, where we got permanent residency and lived for 7 years! 🚙My time in Europe was spent campervanning around Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Germany, Norway, and Sweden, hiking and snowboarding extensively in the Alps, and visiting many of Europe's incredible rural areas and national parks. I recently moved to Vancouver, Canada, where I hope to stay for some time and plan EV road trips! I travel back to Alaska and Australia often. I look forward to connecting with you and hope to inspire you on your next sustainable trip!

Luna Around The World
Lives in London, UK
Female Solo Traveler | Traveling on a Budget Scuba Diving | Outdoors Adventures Hello!! I’m Luna 🌙 and I'm a little addicted to discovering the world, both above and below the water! I mostly travel solo and I'm usually on a budget (the cheaper I can travel, the more I travel!), but I'll invest more money for the right experience (Hot Air Baloon in Cappadocia, I'm looking at you!). In every job I've been at, I was known as the "crazy traveler" - you know that person that lands at 5am on a Monday and is in the office at 9am? or the one jetting off for the 2 days weekend every other week? Or the one that always comes back with some crazy stories? all of the above... it's me! I would like to think I’m quite a curious and adventurous person and I’m always up for trying new things, discover new foods and meet new people. There are not many things I wouldn’t be willing to try and I can’t think of any while writing this. I enjoy exploring new places, discovering new cultures and trying the local foods, but I also enjoy a good hike, a day by the beach and a crazy adventure! I strongly believe I should have been born a mermaid as I absolutely love the water, I’m a scuba diver 🤿 and I’m currently certifying as a free diver 🧜🏻‍♀️ . While I wait for my mermaid tail to grow, I want to see as much as possible of the land-based world. I’m originally from Italy 🇮🇹 but I’ve lived a little bit around California, the East Coast of the US, Barcelona and Scotland before settling in London where I worked in Marketing for 5 years. As of August 2023, I quit London and my corporate life to take a break and travel more, so stay tuned as more and more content will appear here and on my Insta!
