Nicholas Kontis, award-winning travel journalist from San Francisco, has released a new book, “Going Local: Experiences and Encounters on the Road,” covering his immersive, authentic travel experiences. In a world where people are more and more skeptical of tourist traps and cookie-cutter site-seeing excursions, Kontis opens readers’ eyes to the kind of travel that bridges cultures together and truly benefits local communities and habitats, making way for more enriching travel encounters.

With an emphasis on responsible travel that gives back to communities and the environment, it is a message we share and have worked to share with those who travel with us. Check out Kontis’ bestseller here, and keep an eye out for the passage on Yampu and learn more about true meaning of travel: immersing into local society by learning from people.
