Talking Travel with Meena Thiruvengadam

Sometimes I search too far when a good source is much closer. Such was the case with fellow Chicagoan travel journalist Meena Thiruvengadam.

Many years ago, Meena combined her passions for writing and travel into a career into what I would call a travel entrepreneur. She is still a busy journalist, but she has built a travel platform along with it.

Through Travel with Meena, she shares her vast knowledge of all aspects of travel and she is not afraid to admit to learning from her followers, too. Meena said she wanted to give a voice to people of color and to make it easier for them. Without diminishing that goal, I think she has done that for everyone. Perhaps that is the key though. Perhaps by focusing a bit on people of color, she is also enlightening the rest of the world. Maybe this brings us all closer and makes travel that much better.

Whatever her original goals were, she is succeeding on a bigger stage. Meena is definitely making an impact in travel. I am happy to share her story with everyone.
