Mini bio
How it started.
Kellee spent her early childhood on Chicago’s South Side and grew up in San Bernardino, California. A childhood bus trip across the country helped spark her interest in seeing the world. She studied communications with an emphasis in journalism at Cal State Fullerton.
Making her own route.
She began travel vlogging in 2010 and earned her pilot’s license in 2013. Through Kellee Set Go, she built a way to share her travels and the skills that took her farther, including flying and scuba diving. Her television work included on-air travel and adventure segments for FOX 5 San Diego.
The television leap.
Mysterious Islands arrived on Travel Channel in 2017. The series put her flying and diving experience at the heart of journeys to remote islands and conversations with the people who live there.
Making room for more travelers.
In June 2020 she launched Let’s Go Together with Travel + Leisure. Its conversations focus on diverse travelers and inclusion, with guests including a wheelchair adventurer who climbed Machu Picchu and the first documented Black woman to visit every country.
