Mina Kinjo

Born and raised in the heart of Georgia—Gwinnett County, to be exact—I’ve been soaking up culture and diversity since day one. With Gwinnett being one of the top five most diverse counties in the nation, I’ve always been exposed to rich flavors and diverse cultures. From Atlanta’s bustling streets to the peaceful mountains up north, Georgia offers an adventure at every turn. My true passion? Food. Growing up with a professional chef as a dad, I’ve been following my taste buds since I could walk, always seeking new culinary gems, from street food to small-town diners. Georgia’s got it all, and I’m here for every bite!

What’s Your Travel Style?

“I’m a happy mix of planner and spontaneous traveler! I’ll do some TikTok scrolling for top spots, but I’m always ready to stop at hidden gems along the way. And no Southern road trip is complete without a pit stop at Waffle House—it’s not fine dining, but it’s my travel ritual!”

What Georgia Spot Feels
Like ‘Home’ to You?

“You can find me wherever the water is! Whether it’s St. Simons or Jekyll Island, home is where my toes are in the sand, the sun’s beating on my skin, and of course, I’ve got an icy beverage in hand. It’s my personal paradise—nothing beats that beachy bliss.”

What’s One Thing You
Always Do When You Travel?

“Brunch is my middle name! There’s nothing like waking up in a new destination and hunting down the best local brunch spot. Coffee, waffles, eggs—you name it! It’s the perfect way to get a taste of the town like a true local.”
