About Camels and Chocolate

Credit: Photo: Kristin Luna

"A native Tennessean, Kristin has a visceral love for all things Southern: food, music, bourbon and plenty of road trips across her favorite region—all of which she covers on her travel blog, Camels & Chocolate. Because her job as a journalist involves a huge amount of international travel, too, you'll also find more far-flung escapes—from diving in Borneo to tracking polar bears in the Norwegian Arctic—mixed in with jaunts to Charleston, Louisville, Florida and beyond." —Camels and Chocolate
