Welcome to Travel Behind the Scenes — where adventure meets authenticity.

I’m Kevin — a global explorer, storyteller, and international affairs professional with an unapologetic love for the unexpected.

I’ve spent the past decade advising Members of Congress and Heads of State, shaping foreign policy across Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. But beyond the corridors of power, my true passion lies in uncovering the untold stories behind the places we travel.

I’ve journeyed through more than half the countries on Earth — not just for the picture-perfect views, but to dig deeper into the soul of each destination. The struggles, the history, the humanity.

This isn’t your typical travel blog.

I don’t just show you where to go — I show you why it matters. From misty mountaintop temples in Thailand to war-scarred fields in Vietnam, from the chaotic street markets of West Africa to sacred rituals in the Andes — this is where culture, history, and human connection collide.

I started Travel Behind the Scenes to reveal the raw, unfiltered side of travel: the misadventures, the travel fails, the magical moments, and the messy in-between. But most importantly — the people who bring each place to life.

If you're curious about the truth behind tourist traps, the history hiding in plain sight, or just want to laugh at my latest travel mishap — you're in the right place.

Let’s go deeper than the guidebooks. Let’s explore the stories that shape our world.
