Jeff Jenkins is an award-winning content creator and travel journalist, also Founder of Chubby Diaries and Co-founder of Black Travel Alliance, and has sat on The Points Guy Advisory Panel. He has created a community that encourages and motivates plus-size people to travel the world.
Jeff is helping plus-size people and Black people feel represented in the travel industry. In this episode, we talk about his blog, Chubby Diaries, and his three pillars of inclusion including accessibility, comfort, and community. Jeff talks about how important it is to see people like himself traveling, in order to encourage other plus-size and Black people to feel welcome to explore the world.
We discussed tips for plus-size folks when traveling, how to prepare for a trip, and how to feel comfortable in the outdoors! We even discussed what airlines will give plus-size folks a free extra seat, and some essentials like bringing your own seatbelt extenders, plus-size wet suits, and what outdoor brands have plus-size backpacks.
Most importantly, Jeff talks to people âwhere they are right now,â as most of the content on the internet is focused on weight loss, rather than how bigger people should feel comfortable traveling now!
Jeff has been featured in several notable publications such as Forbes, New York Times, Washington Post, Google, Travel Noire, Essence, Travel + Leisure, Lonely Planet, Texas Monthly, Outdoor Retailers, and The Point Guy. He helps people travel the world no matter their size through community, branded content, and motivational talks. You can expect 100% authenticity, transparency, and lots of fun. He has a skill of drawing out big dreams in people and every time you are around him you can expect to enjoy yourself! Jeffâs enthusiastic personality, charisma, and contagious big smile makes him one of a kind!
In this episode of The Millennial Travel Podcast I discuss with Jeff Jenkins:
Travel tips for plus-size people What destinations are doing a good job of being inclusive for plus-size travelers? What are some challenges that black people face traveling? How can we be more sensitive?

Mike Schibel was born and raised in Pacific Palisades, California, and was exposed to stunning travel destinations from my crib! When he was five, his Grandparents gushed about a recent trip to Egypt and after seeing those Pyramids, he knew I had to travel!
As a Junior at the University of Arizona, Mike was ready for something new. He spent a semester abroad in London, exploring Europe, Scandinavia, and North Africa. Mike stepped way outside my comfort zone and tried new things.
All roads led back to LA and the Entertainment industry post-college. For a decade, he rose the ranks as an agent and talent manager. Which of course led to the search for a deeper meaning in my life.
In 2010 Schibel bought a one-way ticket to Australia. Without a plan, he spent a year on the road, meeting interesting people, seeing incredible places, and having memorable inspiring conversations.
Mikeâs passion for traveling, storytelling, and community building led me to launch, âTravel With Meaningâ in 2017. He created âTravel Talk Liveâ to bring travelers together to recreate the feelings he experienced on the road, build an authentic community to inspire and encourage others to travel.
In the Spring of 2019, Mike launched the âTravel With Meaningâ Podcast to continue to grow our community.

Scott Keyes is the founder and CEO of Scottâs Cheap Flights. In 2013, he found a flight deal he just canât pass out onâa $130 round trip ticket from New York City to Milan. When he returned home, his friends and colleagues asked him to let them know the next time he finds a great deal. In a nutshell, thatâs how Scottâs Cheap Flights came about.

Unlike automated flight deals and alerts sent out by way of affiliated links, they leverage their team of human flight experts and innovative software to provide meticulously-vetted and high quality deals that are worth their membersâ time and money. Some are even mistake fares!
To date, Scottâs Cheap Flights has more than 2 million members (and growing each day!). The total amount of airfare their deals have helped members save is already at a whopping $100 million!

So far, Scott has visited a total of 46 countries. He lists Oaxaca, Mexico as his favorite destination. He runs Scottâs Cheap Flights with co-founder and COO, Brian Kidwell.
Personally, I recommend the Scottâs service in The Millennial Travel Guidebook and gave Scottâs Cheap Flights great review.

Scottâs Cheap flights is very legitimate--their mission is to enable people to travel and experience the world!

TravelisFree.com View from the Wing with Gary LeffOn finding the best flight deals, Scott has this to say, âThe better the deal is, the shorter itâs going to last.

Daniel Noll and Audrey Scott are the husband-and-wife storytelling team behind Uncornered Market Adventurers, world travelers, adventurers, storytellers, and tourism advisors from the US and based in Berlin. They have been to over 90 countries and are two of my very favorite people in tourism.
Their goal is to create a movement of respectful travelers and organizations who live at the intersection of adventure, deep travel experiences, and caring for our planet and its people. We hope not just to inspire, but to help others build a story-filled life, whether that life takes them around the blockâŠor around the world.
Today, we speak about Sustainable tourism & adventure travel that cares for our planet & its people. This topic is one that Iâm super passionate about as Daniel and Audrey are owners of a tourism development consultancy & travel blog.
They aim to humanize the places we visit, drawing our readers in through photographs and stories, so they connect with people and places they might otherwise never hear about or actively disregard. In turn, through their personal interactions, we seek to alter the view of America that people get from watching the news, taking in movies, or watching popular television shows. Call this our small contribution to public diplomacy and mutual understanding in todayâs complicated world.
Dan took his first trip abroad at the ripe old age of 26. He went to India by himself, discovered another planet located on Earth, and fell terribly ill (dengue fever). He eventually recovered and has struggled with various bouts of the travel bug ever since.Audrey has successfully managed projects in over twenty countries â often remotely â but prefers to be on the ground working directly with the people affected.
Coming from a family tradition in international work that goes back three generations, her international focus in life is not a surprise to those who know her well. She looks for everyday universal experiences when she travels and aims to make personal connections with people and cultures in varied environments. She has a weakness for dark chocolate and can bake a mean apple crisp.
If you want to know how this travel couple affords to travel the world, they break it down in three ways on their website:
Tourism Development and Marketing Advisory Speaking at Conferences and Universities Affiliate sales and website advertisingIn this episode of The Millennial Travel Podcast we discuss:
How Daniel Noll and Audrey Scott started traveling off the beaten path. Where first-time solo travelers should travel. Their opinion on Machu Picchu and how we can combat overtourism. Alternative treks to the Inca Trail How does travel really change peopleâs lives and how has traveled changed Daniel Noll and Audrey Scottâs life? How has travel pushed Daniel Noll and Audrey Scott to become better people? How can people make an impact while traveling or volunteering in a sustainable way.In The Millennial Travel Podcast rapid fire round I ask:
