Tell us your most recent travel discovery:
I had a chance to camp in Antarctica for one night. Before we landed, our expedition begged us to please try not to p**p or p*e while we were on land. They did prepare a portable toilet for anyone who couldn’t last the ten hours we were on land, but it was highly discouraged. I was impressed with the strict International Association of Antarctica Tour Operators rules established to ensure safe and environmentally sound private-sector travel. For example, there is a strict limit to guests ashore at one time (1:20 ratio of staff to guests) and guidelines on where guests can walk.

*Your personal travel style in five words:
Clear phone space before vacation.
*Most recent travel discovery:
Lockdown brought a more mindful way of travelling, closer to my home—Birmingham, UK. Although you could hardly call Birmingham a discovery, it’s very easy to find yourself alone in an incredibly beautiful spot around the city center and feel like you’re the first person to have stumbled across it. I headed towards Chamberlain Square, around the corner from the Birmingham Museum/Art Gallery and Central Library, in search of the disappearing iconic red London telephone box. It's just a redundant tall booth, vandalized with broken windows, but it stands as the most enduring symbol of Britishness. So I took a photograph with my mobile phone—which, of course, is the very device and the reason for the imminent death of this traditional public payphone.
*Travel souvenir you regret not buying:
The whirling dervish souvenir at Istanbul airport. It's a ceramic handmade Sufi Turkish figurine, spinning serenely in a red hat and a flowing white robe—in remembrance of God. I should have bought a few to decorate a spiritual corner in my house, which would remind me of that magical evening when I watched a group of whirling dervishes performing the mystical ritual of the Mevlevi Sufi order in a historical venue—an unforgettable experience!
*Your most memorable travel experience:
There are many, but nothing tops my trip to Saudi Arabia and seeing the holy Kaaba for the first time. Everyone was wearing identical clothing. It was spiritually uplifting.

Mumbai-based travel journalist Jasreen Mayal Khanna () has written for , , , , , and many others. This year she also published her debut book, “Seva: Sikh Secrets on How to be Good in the Real World” ().
*Your travel beat:
Off-beat experiences, shopping, food.
*Most recent travel discovery:
– a jewel of a hotel in Jaipur's chaotic gemstone market.
*Souvenir you regret not buying:
A graphic-meets-feminine dress from in Goa.
*Most memorable travel experience:
I've been on some off-beat walking tours that were exhilarating. For example, a musician sang me through San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighbourhood; an anthropologist took me on history tour through Srinagar's mosques, prehistoric sites and bazaars; an accountant walked me through his family's lemon farm on Italy's Amalfi coast; and an expat explained Dutch culture through a food tour in Amsterdam.
*Destination that most surprised you:
Phuket, Thailand surprised me because I went there expecting over-crowded beaches and poor-quality shopping. Instead, there was plenty of nature and pace, a superlative food scene in their gorgeous historic quarter, and a mammoth mall of excellent duty-free shopping outside the airport ( FTW).
*Your favorite words to hear while traveling:
It’s hard to beat hearing "You've been upgraded."
*The last thing you’ve written:
My big win during the pandemic was having my first baby and simultaneously writing my debut book, “Seva, Sikh Secrets on How to be Good in the Real World.” I'm grateful because it's been received well in India and will also be released in the UK in 2022.
*A story only you can tell:
During my tenure as Senior Features Writer at , I scoured the markets, boutiques, and design shops of India's most fascinating cities to write a series of shopping guides. So my shopping recommendations are hard to beat – from New Delhi's coolest sculptor to Ahmedabad's best block-printing workshop to Jaipur's crop of young designers using traditional crafts to make contemporary products.
*Dream assignment:
Japan in the fall.

British travel journalist ’s new travelogue, “Minarets in the Mountains,” takes readers on a journey to explore Europe’s lesser known Muslim communities. Here, he shares with us some of his unexpected discoveries, from Thailand to Lithuania.
*Your beat:
Global Muslim heritage, but specializing in Europe.
* Your personal travel style in five words:
Intrepid, nosy, studious, but (always) respectful.
*A recent travel discovery:
Coming upon the remnants of the 17th-century Sultanate of Singora, a Thai-Muslim kingdom that once thrived near modern day Songkhla in southern Thailand.
*A souvenir you regret not buying:
I'm not into souvenirs, preferring moments. The one I regret missing is the opportunity to talk to a lady circumnavigating the 14th-century tomb of the Ottoman Sultan Murad I, just outside Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. I would've loved to have known more about her relationship to the site.
*Most memorable travel experience:
Drifting down a canal built by Thai Muslims and stopping to pray in tiny villages home to stunning local mosques; learning about tombs of little-known saints while conversing with their descendants; breaking fast at sunset with a community of wonderfully warm Thai Sufis (a mystical Islamic tradition) to eat the most delicious Thai-Muslim food, and finally indulging in rhythmic worship led by their elders.
*Destination that most surprised you:
Stumbling upon Muslim villages in the Baltic countryside of Lithuania, complete with unique wooden mosques that resemble local homes and orthodox churches. Learning about their 600-year-old story and how some of their ancestors headed to the U.S. to found the country's oldest mosque, the Moslem Mosque in Brooklyn in 1907!
*Favorite words to hear while traveling:
“There's this grave over there with a star and a crescent on it and we have no idea…”
*The last thing you’ve written:
My new book: “Minarets in the Mountains: A Journey into Muslim Europe.”
*Dream assignment:
The Silk Road through the eyes of a Muslim travel writer.
*The destination at the top of your travel list:
Latin America – I want to go and explore the Moorish influence on the culture there.

Ernest White II () - Storyteller, Flybrother.net

What destination do you look forward to returning to?
South Africa. It's where I feel most at home on this planet. The warmth of the people, the natural beauty, the fresh and tasty food...I love South Africa.

How do you approach personal safety when writing about destinations that might have anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment or laws in place?
Recognizing that I've been granted with a tall, cisgender male body, which is very much a privilege that grants me access to spaces that may not be safe for other people in our community, I'm a believer in building bridges. I have traveled to and written about destinations that have anti-LGBTQ+ laws in place and have met some of the most heartfelt, welcoming people who have been vocally opposed to those laws, and I've met some people whose perspectives have changed once meeting and getting to know me. That personal engagement is how people start to relate to human beings they had previously viewed as irreconcilably different. And let's not forget that there are plenty of states in the US with anti-LGBTQ+ laws on the books.

Seth Shezi () - Brand Strategist, Creative Director

What destination do you look forward to returning to?
I will not include Cape Town, even though I still maintain it's my favorite city, which is wild considering I live here. Outside of home, before Covid, I used to make annual sojourns to New York — there is so much going on that you feel somewhat invisible and small, and with that comes a freeing of the mind, and caring less about yourself or self image and just being; London, because my partner lives there and it's the easiest city in the world, at least for me as a South African, the way of life for Londoners comes very naturally, so being there feels effortless. Lastly: Istanbul. Contrary to the aforementioned cities, Istanbul is a very complex city, it feels like a culturally immersive experience, not just because I don't speak the language, but more because the locals seems to exist is a form of quandary, a very engaging, open and quite liberal society existing within a structure that is stiflingly strict and conservative. It leaves locals almost in a constant state of wanting to embrace but not knowing how much they can before they've overstepped what is acceptable within the structures of the community.

Kwin Mosby () - Editor-In-Chief, Vacationer Magazine

What destination do you look forward to returning to?
Prior to the pandemic, I spent a lot of time in Fort Lauderdale and would stay at the gay-friendly, clothing-optional Grand Resort & Spa. It's a great spot to relax and unwind, and the staff knows me by name because I've been there so many times. I would usually go to South Beach, but Fort Lauderdale gives off a more relaxed (less pretentious) vibe and it also has a more vibrant LGBTQ+ nightlife located in the Wilton Manors neighborhood.

In addition to Barcelona, I eventually want to get back to Brazil's coastal city of Salvador de Bahia. Almost eight years ago, it felt good to visit a place where I didn't feel like an ethnic minority or seen as different for being gay. The culture was familiar, the food was delicious, and the people were beyond welcoming. When I was strolling down the cobblestone streets in the city's Pelourinho neighborhood, I bought a painting from a small art gallery, and one of the artists – not the artist of my purchased oil painting – was kind enough to give a tour of the neighborhood, stop by a shop so I could sample handmade chocolate, and offer recommendations for things to do while in the city.

Business is open. Summer is here. People are getting close. Masks are off. (Unless they’re back on?!) Let’s just say that it’s been a moment of recalibration. As we start to travel again, we’re listening to how travel writers and storytellers who identify as LGBTQAI+ are staying safe and staying out there; learning about the massive lack of care for those traveling by plane in wheelchairs; wondering what a return to “normal” travel means for those on the margins; and marveling at the history of neglect when it comes to restaurants and ADA guidelines. We are in an interesting period of time where whole industries can change the way they operate to accommodate more guests, travelers, and clientele, making experiences safer, more enjoyable, and more equitable. Will they rise to the occasion? Only time will tell.

Sonia Chopra () started her role as executive editor of in the middle of the pandemic—talk about a challenge! She shared some of her fondest travel memories with us. (Spoiler alert: Food plays a major role in most of them.)

*Your beat:
I don’t know if I have a travel *beat* but I’d say my approach is: Start with the food and the stories will follow.

*Your personal travel style in five words:
Spreadsheet itineraries planned around food.

*Most recent travel discovery:
My last international trip was to Delhi; we landed back in the U.S. in early February 2020. I travel to Delhi at least once a year, but on this trip I was with two people who were visiting for the first time. It is always a treat to see a city you love through fresh eyes, but that’s not something I expected to get to feel about a place where I myself am still very much a visitor. It makes me want to go back to all the places I love with new people.

*Souvenir you regret not buying:
I had the shortest layover in Seoul on my way back to Singapore in late 2019 and I am still disappointed that I didn’t get a chance to explore the airport. Layover shopping is always a treat.

*Memorable travel experience:
My dad and I went to Shimla and Amritsar together a few years ago, and I loved having the chance to see a new-to-me part of India through his eyes and track down some family history. Amritsar in particular is so meaningful, with the Golden Temple, Partition Museum, and Jallianwala Bagh. And not for nothing, the food is delicious: Amritsari chole and kulchas!

*Destination that most surprised you:
Sydney! I planned to fall in love with Australia, but Sydney’s food really took my heart in a way I didn’t expect. I’m still thinking about so much food I had the good fortune to experience there: flat whites, lamingtons, dumplings filled with native greens, pandan french toast, laksa, and on and on.

*Favorite words to hear while traveling:
“Hotel breakfast!” Hotels outside of the U.S. can have the BEST breakfast.

*Last thing you’ve written:
My most recent newsletter for was about violence against Asian American communities and what small things we can do to help .

*A story only you can tell:
My parents are from two different parts of India, and sometimes their stories are completely aligned and sometimes they feel like two different worlds. I feel so lucky to have learned about cultural nuances and strength in community from them from a very young age, which 100-percent informs my approach to storytelling, journalism, and editing.

*Dream assignment:
Honestly, I’d love to follow spice company ’s founder around on a sourcing trip. Or anything involving international snacks or grocery stores.

*Destination at the top of your 2021 travel list:
I’ve been dreaming about going to Lagos, home to so much stunning literature and fashion.

Nairobi-based Rupi Mangat () writes for , Kenya's leading newspaper. She’s passionate about African landscapes and wildlife—read on for some of her favorite experiences on the continent.

*Your travel beat:
The world’s my oyster.

*Your personal travel style in five words:
Curious, inquiring, simple, searching, looking.

*Most recent travel discovery:
in Laikipia, Kenya.

*Souvenir you regret not buying:
Chikadu in Goma, DRC. It's a handmade bike that the person stands on with one foot always on the ground to push. When nothing was working in the war-torn country, people used their ingenuity to fashion this bike from wood, and it's still used to ferry goods. I should have bought it as a souvenir because it's a show of resilience, courage, and grit.

*Most memorable travel experience:
So many. Coming face to face with a lion in Tarangire, Tanzania—she was with her cubs at night and there was only a net between us. She and l stared into each other's eyes, and then the pride left after the cubs had their fill of playing. The lioness just wanted her cubs to be safe. All l had to do was be still.

*Destination that most surprised you:
Goma and Bukavu in DRC, and driving up to Kahuzi-Beiga national park past Lake Kivu to see Grauer's gorilla (the largest of the gorilla subspecies), the landscape, and the people who, despite such the horrific war and poverty, are so genuine.

*Your favorite words to hear while traveling:
“Welcome” with a smile, in any language.

*A recent story you’ve written:
A story about the rare Bryde's whale in Watamu-Lamu water that appeared mid-November.

*Story only you can tell:
Africa’s landscapes and lifescapes and her beauty.

*Dream assignment:
Follow the ancient salt route from Mali to the northern African desert.

*Destination at the top of your travel list for 2021:
Timbuktu, Mali — it's ancient, full of history, and one of the great centers of learning from centuries ago. I want to see the amazing mud mosques of Njenne.

Just back from a trip home to Taipei (where she documented her two weeks in quarantine), she talked to us about all things travel—as well as her dream assignment.

*Travel beat:
Anything and everything travel! My team covers topics from air travel and destination news to packing gear and Airbnbs—as long as there's a travel bent, it's my beat.

*Your personal travel style in five words:
Pack a bag for souvenirs.

*Most memorable travel experience:
A few years back, my family went to Tromso to try and see the Northern Lights. We only gave ourselves one night—not a smart move—and, of course, it rained, making the conditions extremely difficult. Our guide, Tomasz, was determined to make the best of it. He drove for hours, crossing into Finland in search of better weather, and entertained us during stops with bonfires, hot chocolate, and astrophotography tips. On our final attempt, he posed us for a family photo, positioning the camera to capture some of the backdrop. He gasped as he reviewed the photo—though it was utter darkness to the naked eye, the Northern Lights were right behind us and glowed bright green in the photo, thanks to the long exposure. Even though we didn't quite see the lights for ourselves, we have a lasting memory and a story we love to tell. Plus, we're even more determined to return some day, with much more time to hunt for the Aurora Borealis.

*Your favorite words to hear while traveling:
“Breakfast is included with your stay.”

*Last thing you’ve written:
A story about my long-haul flight home to Taipei for .

*Dream assignment:
A food story that travels along the Silk Road, chronicling how spices changed the cuisines in various cities along the way.

*Your personal travel style in five(ish) words:
Hyper-organized with slots for spontaneity.

*Recent travel discovery:
Qatar Airways is now serving Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rose in business class (and I'm living for it!).

*Most memorable travel experience:
I had an insane wildlife encounter recently: I was at Namiri Plains in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, and had spent the entire afternoon camped out near the den of an African wildcat in hopes of getting a glimpse—or, better yet, a photo. Hours passed, and my guide and I were relaxing and chatting in our open safari vehicle when we realized we were being watched from behind the thicket. Sure enough, a cheetah was stalking us. My guide said, "Don't freak out, but I think the cheetah is going to jump in the vehicle." Before I could even reply (or react), the cheetah was nearly on top of me, breathing down my neck and sizing me up. Honestly, I was so excited, I forgot to be nervous. As the cheetah backed away, I, of course, did my best to capture the moment with an iPhone selfie. ;)

*Destination that most surprised you:
Coastal Alabama! The pioneering sustainability movement happening in Gulf Shores, Alabama, is pretty mind-blowing. Think: A state park lodge constructed with the latest and greatest in pro-environment systems (like a swimming pool fed by condensation from the HVAC system) and 36 acres of reef rebuilt with 14 million discarded oyster shells from local restaurants. Super interesting, cool, and unexpected!

*Favorite words to hear while traveling:
"Would you like another glass?" is always music to my ears. Also, I just love hearing and using the words for “please,” “thank you,” “you're welcome,” and “cheers” in other languages while traveling. "Asante sana," “Je vous en prie," and “prost!” are some of my faves.

She’s passionate about sustainable travel, culture and heritage, adventure, and community tourism, and recounts some of her most meaningful travel experiences below.

*Your personal travel style in five words:
Slow, laid-back, off-beat.

*Most memorable travel experience:
There are many I could name in the Caribbean, but none top my recent return trip to Ethiopia — my birthplace — after a 19-year absence. It was an incredible feeling to explore it as a travel journalist of Ethiopian descent, connecting with guides, communities, and business owners, and seeing the sheer beauty of Simien, the spirituality at Lalibela, and just everyday countryside scenes on long drives. Ethiopia is magical (no bias).

*Destination that most surprised you:
Saint Vincent surprised me a lot last fall. Most people skip it and go to the Grenadines, but the main island's lush rainforests, winding cliff top roads, black-sand beaches, uncrowded waterfalls, and just the overall wilderness of it, blew me away. It's rare to find this level of green in the eastern, smaller Caribbean islands. Saint Vincent is packed with Afro-Caribbean and indigenous history and community tourism that you hear little about.

*Your favorite words to hear while traveling:
"Your room is ready" (for sure).

*Last thing you’ve written:
An article on the greatest challenge to tourism's recovery in 2021 for ; I also wrote and photographed a story on the Dominican Republic's Samana Peninsula for ; one on green adventures in Saint Vincent for Cacique Magazine (); and a short piece on Addis Ababa for ’s places to go in 2021.

Based in Paris, Rachel Rebibo () walked away from a career in fashion to become a travel, wildlife, and conservation photographer. She has a keen love for Africa and is passionate about giving voice to wildlife and the communities that are dedicated to preserving it. Read on for some of her most memorable moments, in Africa and beyond.

*Your personal travel style in five words:
Wildlife, Remote, Africa, Sunshine, Sundowner.

*Your travel beat:
Vegan, sustainable, safari.

*Most recent travel discovery:
That peri-peri sauce is vegan.

*Souvenir you regret not buying:
Beautiful wood bowls at a market in KwaZulu Natal, South Africa. I've been on the hunt for the perfect wooden bowl ever since.

*Most memorable travel experience:
My recent trip to Zimbabwe during the pandemic. I was able to leave Paris mid-lockdown with a negative Covid PCR test and ended up finding myself completely alone in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with only my guide and camp staff. Being alone with wildlife and seeing zero tourists was such a special moment! It's an experience I'll treasure for the rest of my life.

*Destination that most surprised you:
Mississippi! There's a rich history for fans of Blues music, especially if you drive the Delta Blues Highway. It runs from Memphis to Marigold, tracing the routes where Blues was born. Make a mandatory stop in Clarksdale, Mississippi, birthplace of Sam Cooke and home to Morgan Freeman's Ground Zero Blues Club.

*Favorite words to hear while traveling:
“Please enjoy your pre-dinner snacks.”

*Last thing you’ve written or photographed:
I wrote a personal essay on Medium about why I decided to leave the fashion industry and pursue my passion for wildlife conservation full time. The most recent thing I photographed was the eternally magical Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe—the elephant encounters are unreal.

South African lawyer-turned-journalist Ishay Govender () covers culture, marginalized communities, and social justice through the lens of food and land. She lives between Cape Town and Lisbon and embarks on reporting missions that take her from Colombia to Indonesia and beyond, and along the way she’s amassed a trove of thoughtful travel memories—we asked her to share some below.

*Your personal travel style in five words:
Mostly maximalist but readily flexible.

*Destination that most surprised you:
I find that I can still get a little surprised by how modern even the most remote villages and hamlets in the most rural parts of the world are. It's the trope of a “suspended past” that many writers and travelers must actively challenge, I think. Lisbon surprises me in that, as much it is small and very familiar to me, I still find it comfortingly charming and unknown at the same time—this might have to do with my very poor Portuguese language skills...

*Favorite words to hear while traveling:
"Please switch off all mobile and electronic devices, laptops, and e-readers." In the old days, pre-pandemic long flights were the time I actually got the most rest, as you have no option, really, and in-flight Wi-Fi is often shoddy. Also in London, "Mind the gap" on the subway is always a delight to hear.

*The last thing you’ve written:
A piece of obscure prose that summarizes some of the tough stuff I've endured this year, on my Insta account after months of not committing to any posts on the main page. Please go give it a mercy like—my friends clearly hate my writing!

*A story only you can tell:
I certainly don't think I'm the only one who can tell these stories, but I do feel particularly close to the subject of the food and culture of the descendants of the Indian indentured labourers in South Africa, being a fifth-generation descendant (with both matrilineal and patrilineal heritage).
