Hi! I'm Lily — here to help you travel and move consciously, while uncovering the underreported stories shaping tourism, identity, and power. As a former lawyer turned travel journalist, I’ve written and reported on travel for outlets like Bloomberg, CNN, BBC Travel, and Condé Nast Traveler, and partnered with brands and tourism boards to create cultural content rooted in equity and local knowledge. As a third culture kid raised across three continents and having lived in 8+ countries full-time, plus 15+ years covering sustainable tourism in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America and beyond... I bring you the perspectives few share in this space. If you're ready to travel with intention and integrate culturally, or hear stories of tourism impact that spark change and challenge the status quo — subscribe. 🎥 Subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@tourismlens
