      In this inspiring episode of The RISE Traveler: Unpacking Conversations of Sustainable Travel, host Amy Hager sits down with Carolyn Ray, CEO of JourneyWoman, the world’s first solo travel publication for women. Together, they explore how travel can empower women, foster empathy, and become a catalyst for global understanding.

      Carolyn shares her journey of stepping into the legacy of founder Evelyn Hannon, transforming JourneyWoman into a thriving, values-driven community that promotes sustainable, ethical, and inclusive travel. From rebuilding a 25-year-old platform to navigating the pandemic and beyond, she opens up about leadership, vulnerability, and staying true to your mission even when it’s not the easy road.

    • Love, Loss, and the Hidden Stories Behind Immigration – with Michael Luongo
      Nov 21 2025

      In this heartfelt episode of The RISE Traveler, host Amy Hager speaks with writer and academic Michael Luongo again to explore the moving true story behind his New York Times Modern Love essay.

      Michael opens up about his late husband, Wing-Ho “Harry” Chow, an undocumented and closeted gay man who lived with him in New York for over two decades. When Harry was diagnosed with late-stage cancer, their decision to marry became an act of both love and necessity — allowing Michael to care for him, navigate hospital bureaucracy, and preserve his dignity in his final days.

      Together, Amy and Michael reflect on grief, compassion, and the human realities behind immigration and identity. Their conversation is a powerful reminder that storytelling can break down prejudice and help us see one another with empathy.

      Through this intimate dialogue, The RISE Traveler continues its mission to promote conscious, inclusive travel — and a more just world for all.
