Hosts recount their family holiday in Morocco, debunk travel myths, and share practical tips—from bargaining in souks to staying in riads.

The episode also covers travel news, the best Moroccan highlights (Marrakesh medina, Sahara Desert, Chefchaouen, Fes, Atlas Mountains), safety insights, and why Morocco should be on your travel list.

Season two premiere of the Dorian Destinations podcast introduces new team members Julia and Barbie, celebrates a W3 Gold win, and reunites hosts Shannon and Tyrian for a lively kickoff.

Expect candid travel stories from Mykonos, Ibiza, Venice, Costa Rica and Amsterdam, plus funny digressions, personal anecdotes, and plans for upcoming episodes and retreats.

Join us on Passport Profiles as travel hosts Franco & Shannon sit down with Emily Harper of Hawaii Flower Lei to explore the deep roots of Hawaiian culture — from Niʻihau (“the Forbidden Island”) to shell lei craftsmanship and the living language of ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi.

In this episode you’ll discover:

• The Sinclair/R­obinson family legacy and how Emily continues that connection
• How authentic Hawaiian leis are made — beyond the “tourist garland” — and the meaningful stories they carry
• Surprising truth vs myth about Niʻihau: language, access, and life on the island
• Tips for respectful, culturally rooted travel in Hawaiʻi
• Ways travelers can honor tradition, support land stewardship (mālama ʻāina), and experience deeper cultural exchange

Whether you’re planning Hawaiʻi-bound travels or simply fascinated by island heritage, this episode is your gateway to aloha in action.
