Lindsey Granger, widely recognized for her work on The View, NBC News, and as a NewsNation contributor, is breaking new ground with World of Travel—a transformative series that explores the past, present, and future of global destinations.
What sets this show apart is its unique focus: navigating worldwide adventures while traveling with a toddler, all while highlighting underrepresented communities in the travel industry.
World of Travel is a passion project born from Lindsey and her life partner Kolyn Boyd’s personal and professional journey. After overcoming significant challenges, including paying off $100,000 in debt to fund the project, the couple now brings their vision to audiences across multiple platforms, including DIRECTV, ROKU, and Samsung TV.
Inspiration and Origins
In a recent interview, Lindsey and Kolyn reflected on the moment they decided to pursue World of Travel. Lindsey, who grew up traveling thanks to her mother’s career at TWA, inspired spontaneous adventures with Kolyn even before parenthood. “Traveling was second nature to her,” Kolyn recalled. However, the duo quickly realized that frequent travel required financial sustainability.
Kolyn encouraged Lindsey to leverage her social media following into partnerships, sparking the journey that would evolve into World of Travel. What began as simple YouTube and Instagram recaps grew into a full-scale production, as Kolyn upgraded his filmmaking tools and learned the intricacies of the television industry.
The birth of their daughter, Kynsley, further shaped the show’s mission: “showcasing a family that looks like ours exploring the world, unpacking history, and broadening perspectives for the next generation.”
Overcoming Obstacles: Paying Off $100,000 in Debt
The road to World of Travel was far from easy. Over four years, Lindsey and Kolyn self-funded the series, accumulating $100,000 in debt. “This was never part of the plan,” Lindsey admitted, but the experience became a powerful lesson in resilience.
To pay off their debt within a year, the couple took on local production work, budgeted rigorously, and found creative ways to sustain themselves. Kolyn emphasized that while rejection was frequent, they refused to let setbacks derail their goals. “The road to success is often winding,” Lindsey added, “but there’s always a way forward.”
Their story stands as a testament to perseverance, proving that betting on oneself—despite immense challenges—can lead to success.
Bringing World of Travel to Life
As the director, Kolyn highlighted both the rewarding and challenging aspects of creating the series. While creative control allowed him to grow and adapt, he often faced industry skepticism. “I’ve heard ‘no’ countless times,” he said. “But ‘no’ simply means an opportunity to improve.”
The turning point came after a particularly low moment—when Lindsey lost her job as a television host. Kolyn took over outreach, connecting with INSIGHT TV, which ultimately gave World of Travel its platform. “If we had given up, the show wouldn’t exist today,” Kolyn reflected.
Impactful Destinations: South Africa’s Profound Influence
One standout destination in the series is South Africa, where the family immersed themselves in the country’s rich culture, history, and arts scene. From visiting landmarks like Robben Island and the Apartheid Museum to exploring vibrant culinary traditions, the experience was both educational and transformative.
“For Kynsley, now 3, this trip marked a milestone,” Lindsey shared. “Watching her wonder and understanding grow was a beautiful reminder of why travel matters.”
Balancing Parenthood and Production
Traveling with a toddler while producing a show presented its own set of challenges, but Lindsey and Kolyn embraced the unpredictability. “Kynsley is folded into every part of our lives,” Lindsey explained. Her presence, they believe, enhances the authenticity of their storytelling.
Parenthood and creativity, they added, fuel each other. “Both roles feed into one another, and that synergy keeps us grounded and inspired.”
A Message for Viewers: Travel as Transformation
Through World of Travel, Lindsey and Kolyn hope to redefine viewers’ perspectives on travel. “Travel isn’t just about where you go—it’s about the people you meet, the stories you hear, and the understanding you gain,” Lindsey said.
By showcasing underrepresented voices and hidden gems, the series aims to celebrate cultural diversity and inspire families to step out of their comfort zones. “Breaking stereotypes and fostering connection is at the heart of our mission,” Lindsey emphasized.
Streaming Now
World of Travel is currently streaming across platforms, including DIRECTV, ROKU, and Samsung TV. Lindsey and Kolyn’s journey proves that with perseverance, creativity, and a clear purpose, it’s possible to turn a dream into reality.
For families, travelers, and dreamers alike, World of Travel serves as an inspiring call to explore the beauty, diversity, and stories that connect us all.
