As an Emmy Award-winning lifestyle correspondent for NBC New York and host of Travel Channel’s Big City, Little Budget and One Bag and You’re Out, Oneika inspires us to live our best lives at home and abroad. A bona fide travel junkie keen to share her insights from around the world, Oneika also appears regularly as a travel expert on CTV Canada’s Your Morning and The Social. Her adventures have taken her to over 120 countries on 6 continents.

In addition, Oneika is an accomplished writer with more than a decade of digital and print media experience. Her work has appeared in a wide range of publications, including Condé Nast Traveler, Oprah Magazine, Ebony Magazine, and Marriott Bonvoy Traveler.

She is also the voice behind the highly respected OneikaTheTraveller.com, where her articles examine travel and exploration through the intersections of race, politics, and privilege.
