About the Journey

Who are we when we travel? About the Journey is a travel show about connecting more deeply to the places we visit, and in turn, ourselves.In Season 4, travel journalist and Marriott Bonvoy member Oneika Raymond explores how mindful travel has the power to change us: to nurture us, our relationships, and even the world around us. We’ll travel to four destinations known to transform those who visit —and by the end of each episode, you’ll have a full day’s itinerary to kick start your own wellness journey.Starting this season, Oneika also sits down to chat with some of the most experienced travelers on the planet about their favorite ways to travel for self discovery, plus insider tips and all the behind-the-scenes travel tea — to help you plan your next trip.

Get this woman a show on Travel Channel!!!

Loving this podcast! Her voice is so inviting. Great variety of locations. Love the concept of highlighting road trip stops.

Decent idea, horrible execution

I’ve been on the look for a good travel diary type podcast for a long time and this has potential but it’s not it. No one wants to hear about you going to Wyoming dude. Go to a state that’s not one of the most boring in the US and then maybe I’ll give you a second thought.

perfect pandemic listening

This couldn’t have come at a better time. Feels like an escape! LOVE hearing all the different local voices.

Vacation for the Mind

Oneika’s soothing voice calms me as I escape into this tropical road trip. Never thought of visiting Waikiki. Now I want to go.

Nostalgic!

Such a well made podcast! As someone who loves road trips and went on one this year because of COVID, this podcast makes me feel so nostalgic about it. It makes me want to go through the south and Oahu - two places I never would have thought to do a road trip!

Beautiful stories and masterful narration

Since we can’t travel right now, it’s great that we can get a taste in this podcast. Love the local color provided by the guests & can’t wait to visit the destinations myself.

For those of us stuck at home but making plans!

This is a great new podcast, especially for those of us who are stuck at home but still making plans for future travels. Love the variety of voices from each place. And the host is lovely, I could listen to her all day. Can't wait to hear where we go next :)
