World of Travel: The Podcast
Perfect for travel enthusiasts and families alike, this podcast is your ultimate guide for insider insights & hidden gems.
Lindsey lives for extreme activities, like skydiving, free-falling and zip-lining from the world's highest point, while Kolyn likes two feet on the ground, a cold beer, trying new foods and the ocean (he goes scuba diving with sharks)! A New Yorker and a Texan come together to find common ground. They are polar opposites with a mutual love for learning more about history, new people and cultures. They love experiencing new adventures through their baby Kynsley’s eyes.
World of Travel serves as an itinerary for people dreaming of that once in a lifetime vacation, a blueprint for people nervous about traveling with young kids, and proof that people of color travel globally.

Shamar Marcus: Behind the Lens of World of Travel, Creative Faith, Maldives Chaos & Betting on Yourself
Join Lindsey and Kolyn as they sit down with world traveler, filmmaker, and creative entrepreneur Shamar Marcus, a core member of the World of Travel family and the Director of Photography who has helped bring the series to life across the globe.
In this fun, honest, and wide-ranging conversation, Shamar takes listeners behind the lens of what it really takes to film luxury travel television—from chaotic speedboat rides and surprise storms in the Maldives to long-haul travel days, split-second creative decisions, and the beautiful tension that comes with working closely on the road. Together, they relive unforgettable moments from one of the world’s most dreamlike destinations, including overwater bungalows, vibrant coral reefs, chef-driven global cuisine, and the kind of once-in-a-lifetime experiences that look unreal until you’re standing in them.
Beyond the travel stories, Shamar opens up about his personal journey, from leaving a traditional 9-to-5, to betting on himself as a filmmaker, to building Sky Crew Films, a production company now trusted with major commercial, television, and international projects. He shares how faith, wellness, and a leap-of-faith mindset have guided every chapter of his career, along with why independence and creative control matter deeply to him.
The conversation also dives into wellness rituals, sea moss, entrepreneurship, creative collaboration, and what aspiring creators actually need to know about building partnerships, leveraging value, and turning passion into a sustainable career...without chasing clout.
Warm, hilarious, insightful, and deeply motivating, this episode is a reminder that the journey matters just as much as the destination—and that trusting the process can take you further than you ever imagined.
Let’s get into it.
