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.

  1. Maui, Hawai’i: Practice Mindful Travel Through Language and Shopping Local

    Maui, Hawai’i: Practice Mindful Travel Through Language and Shopping Local

    Oneika Raymond ends her wellness journey in Maui, Hawai‘i's second largest island known for its diverse landscapes, from lush rainforests to sandy beaches. There, she meets up with locals who help her become a more mindful malihini, or visitor, to the island by connecting with the Hawaiian language and history and shopping local. Oneika begins her day with a morning Hawaiian language lesson on Kā‘anapali Beach with Luana Kawa’a, a language teacher who’s been instructing students to speak the melodic language for over 30 years. Luana knows that language is the gateway to cultivating a better understanding and appreciation for Hawaiian history and local traditions. She leads Oneika through a language lesson that connects her to the deep meaning behind essential Hawaiian vocabulary. Then, Oneika heads to her first stop of the day: Hale Hōʻikeʻike at the Bailey House, a museum run by the Maui Historical Society that boasts the largest collection of pre-contact artifacts in Maui. She meets up with volunteer coordinator James "Kimo" Guequierre to learn about the painstaking craftsmanship, and mana, or energy — especially from Maui’s women — that went into these artifacts.  Next, Oneika goes in search of a Hawai’i specialty — shave ice. Her search ends at Olowalu General Store, a family run fixture of West Maui that’s been in operation since 1932. Oneika sits down with Olowalu’s manager, Rylee Ann Domogma, to learn about the importance of buying local to support independent purveyors on Maui. Oneika travels back to her hotel, the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa, to meet one more inspiring business woman on Maui: Anna Kahalekulu, the founder of Kulua, a small batch clothing shop inspired by Maui. Oneika finds out how supporting local artisans like Anna sustains the community and contributes to a more meaningful experience on the island. Oneika and Anna end the day watching the nightly lele kawa, or cliff diving ceremony, that takes place on Kā‘anapali Beach. Looking out over the water, Oneika reflects on her transformative journey this season. Experience Maui's transformative power for yourself.

    Mexico City, Mexico: Taste Your Way Through the Past and Present of This Global Food Capital

    Oneika Raymond is hungry. And, luckily, she’s headed to Mexico City, one of the most exciting culinary destinations in the world — and a place she always finds herself coming back to. There, she visits three eating and drinking spots that connect her to the layered flavors and history that give Mexico City its particular sabor, or flavor, to deepen her understanding of the dynamic capital. Oneika starts her day off early with a sunrise float through Xochimilco, an historic and active canal system perhaps best known for its weekend parties on the water. But, Oneika’s guide, Anais Martinez, the founder of Devoured Food Tours, is here to show Oneika the quieter side of Xochimilco: its farms, or chinampas. Oneika and Anais tour a working chinampa, where Oneika picks fresh produce for a farm-to-table breakfast. Over the meal, Anais shares how Xochimilco once nourished most of Mexico City — and how its role continues to evolve as a vital piece of the culinary scene. Then, Oneika heads to the beating heart of Mexico City’s food scene: its bustling streets. She meets up with Natalia de la Rosa, a local food and travel journalist at Tacos de Mixiote Castelán — one of Natalia’s go-to street food taco stands in her neighborhood of Juárez. Natalia shows Oneika how to order and dress up mixiote tacos — a taco you’ll be hard-pressed to find outside of Mexico. Then, they sit down to discuss the importance of street food to the fabric of daily life in Mexico City. After a full day of eats, Oneika ends her tasting tour back at her hotel, the JW Marriott Mexico City Polanco, for a digestif. She takes part in a private mezcal tasting at the hotel’s Tahona Room, the first-ever mezcal tasting room in the city. Oneika’s guide, Julie Wharton, Tahona’s bar manager, explains how the different regions and families of mezcal producers in Mexico infuse each spirit with a unique flavor and story, all of which deepens Oneika’s appreciation for the eating and drinking traditions of Mexico City she thought she knew — and leaves her hungry for more. Experience Mexico City’s transformative eating and drinking traditions for yourself. For more about Oneika’s journey — and to get other itinerary ideas — visit Marriott Bonvoy Traveler.

There, she embarks on a wellness journey to explore how Sedona encourages visitors to slow down to reconnect to themselves.
