Did y’all know this??? ✈️

If you buy a main cabin ticket on most major US airlines, you can rebook your flight if prices drop and get back a credit!! This is why you should always keep flight alerts on even after you’ve booked your ticket. I use Google flights for this and it has never steered me wrong 2025-10-07 22:54:52 Did y’all know th.. 159 -81% 4 -90%
When I travel abroad, I often find that people have never met Black Americans before and don’t realize that our culture is a distinct subgroup of American culture with distinct cultural traditions and foods. 

For me, when I think of American food beyond the stereotypical burger, my mind immediately goes to things like collared greens, baked macaroni and cheese, candied yams, and cornbread. Someone of a different race and from a different part of the country might have another answer. 

While things can definitely be regional in the US, race still largely dictates how these regional differences manifest. 2025-10-06 02:08:31 When I travel abroad, I.. 1,132 +37% 45 +10%

What do y’all think of Christ the Redeemer??

Is visiting Christ the Redeemer something I recommend while visiting Rio? 100% yes! Do I personally think it compares to the other world wonders I’ve visited? Not even a little bit 🤷🏾‍♀️

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a beautiful statue that offers great views of the city but I’d argue you can get better views from Sugarloaf mountain, where you can see Christ the Redeemer ✨ 2025-10-01 22:41:12 W.. 537 -35% 48 +17%

If you’re heading to Rio, make sure to save this as you plan for your trip 🇧🇷

One thing I didn’t mention above is safety. Rio is known for petty theft (as are many major cities around the world) so I highly recommend on keeping a close eye on your belongings and avoiding bringing any extremely valuable items that you don’t want to lose. I went to Rio and had no issues but I know that the risk is there and it’s always better to be safe rather than sorry. 

Rio de Janeiro is easily one of the most beautiful cities in the world with so much to do and see and definitely deserves a visit! 2025-05-15 05:25:13 If you’re h.. 393 -53% 12 -71%
I may be a bit biased but I truly think Senegal is such an underrated and special destination 🇸🇳

GUIDE TO VISITING LENÇÓIS MARANHENSES 🇧🇷

This is one of the best place I’ve ever visited and you need to add it to your list! This place is truly unlike anywhere else I’ve been in the world and I think everyone should visit if given the chance. 

Hopefully this mini-guide will help you plan your trip!

Here’s what it’s like to visit Petra by night!

Keep in mind tickets to Petra by night are not included in the Jordan pass and are otherwise completely separate from your ticket to Petra during the day. You can only visit Petra by night on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. The ticket costs 17 Jordanian Dinar which is around $25 USD and lasts about 2 hours. 2025-04-30 19:05:58 Here’s what it’s like.. 116 -86% 9 -78%
STEP BY STEP GUIDE FOR BRAZIL VISA 🇧🇷

If you’re from the US, Canada, or Australia, don’t let the new visa rules keep you from visiting Brazil! The process is fairly easy and not nearly as daunting as you may think. 

To clarify, the visa is valid for ten years and for multiple entries into Brazil but you are only allowed to be in the country for 90 days per 180 day period. 

If you have any questions, leave them below and I’ll try my best to answer them! 2025-04-08 03:58:09 STEP BY STEP .. 189 -77% 17 -59%
Here’s what it’s like to visit the world wonder, Petra!! 🇯🇴

Contrary to popular belief, Petra is far more than just the Treasury; it’s a whole city! While I only had about 6 hours to explore, you could easily spend multiple days here trying to see as much as possible!

Entry for one day costs 50 JD for foreigners but I would recommend buying the Jordan Pass for 70JD which waives your visa fee and includes access to a bunch of the main attractions across the country including Petra!! 2025-03-27 03:35:51 Here’s what i.. 592 -29% 25 -39%

If you wouldn’t want someone going through your neighborhood and treating you and your home like a spectacle, why would you do it to others? 

Favelas are a direct consequence of wealth inequality in Brazil that stems back to slavery and colonization. It is a sign of deep structural racism and classism that continues to affect people today. The romanticization of favelas is harmful and fails to recognize why they exist in the first place. 

There are meaningful ways to engage with people in favelas by frequenting their restaurants and supporting their small businesses. Favela tours are not the only or even the best way to support its residents. 

As travelers, we have a responsibility to be respectful of the places we visit and visiting a favela to basically take pictures and videos of people just living their lives is not that. 2025-03-12 05:47:55 If you wouldn’t want so.. 521 -37% 46 +12%
save for details on how to visit San Basilio de Palenque 🇨🇴🤎

Visiting San Basilio de Palenque was by far the highlight of my entire trip to Colombia and a big reason why I wanted to visit the country in the first place!

You can book on Airbnb Experiences under “Experience the Africa hidden in Colombia” hosted by Brayanm from Black Legacy Experiences blacklegacyexperiences

The tour costs $114 and includes pickup and drop off from Cartagena, a traditional lunch in Palenque, and amazing guides that help make this an incredible experience from start to finish.

my experience at Camp Château 💞 

sponsored | This past summer, I spent 6 days at a women’s summer camp in the French countryside and please believe me when I tell you this has been one of the best travel experiences I’ve EVER had. 

The staff were phenomenal, the wide variety of daily activities were absolutely amazing and the other women at camp were some of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. 

I got to explore so many new activities and by the end of camp, I had fostered incredible friendships that I hope will last a lifetime. 

If you’re looking for place to try new activities, make new friends, or really just relax, make sure to check out Camp Chateau! 2025-03-06 23:55:53 my experience.. 3,089 +273% 64 +56%
Solo hiking all 2025!! Most of my previous hikes haven’t been so fun for me because I always get left behind because I’m too slow or I find myself trying to keep up with the pace of the group even though it’s too fast for me. This is the first time I’ve decided to solo hike and while it was challenging, it was such a beautiful experience 🤍 can’t wait for more solo hikes!! 2025-02-21 23:29:18 Solo hiking .. 393 -53% 14 -66%
Cape Town is truly one of the most beautiful cities I’ve ever been to and I’m still not over it 🤩

Highly recommend going on a Sunset Bus Tour with citysightseeingworldwide to see the sunset from Signal Hill, one of the best views in the city!! (I wouldn’t recommend going by Uber because there’s so much traffic and you’ll be waiting forever) 2025-02-18 23:53:09 Cape Town is.. 416 -50% 25 -39%
