Hot take. I feel like the older I get the more difficult I find it to relate to cats who haven't traveled (and when I say travel I don't mean a week in DR at the resort). Not saying they're bad people by any means but it seems like their outlook on some things can be a bit limited. Anyone else feel like this?

Oh same here brotha. Same here.... Especially as Black MEN we feel isolated. And I look at my circle and the people I grew up with as "limited" not even trying to judge or anything. I notice Black men in general don't care about traveling meanwhile the sistas do.

A while back I was talking to this cat I grew up with and the conversation went to the topic of travel. This guy thinks he knows everything so a lot of times I just let him talk and I'll sit there and listen :ld::yeshrug: I remember him saying "I could never go to Colombia, I'm not trying to get kidnapped :sadcam::sadbron: Same with Mexico City, they got all them drug cartels there :huhldup: I'm saying though, you tryna take a trip to Tampa? :youngsabo::steviej::blessed:"








:snoop: anyone with that outlook at my age I really can't engage on certain topics.

Geneva or Barcelona brehs?

I've never been to Switzerland, but I've been to Barcelona. In my limited view, the only reason to go to Switzerland is if you want to experience a real winter wonderland vacation in the Swiss Alps or you want purchase straight from the source Swiss made watches(luxury shopping in general too). Barcelona is an art and architecture lovers city with beaches and 2 big soccer clubs(FC Barcelona and Espanyol), along with luxury shopping off Diagonal Ave subway station in Gracía.

It depends on which part of the year you're going. I'd always prefer Barcelona though and Spain, in general. I had the time of my life! Spent 2 weeks, going back and forth between Barcelona, San Sebastian & Valencia.

My first international trip was to Barcelona and that's what got me hooked on traveling:blessed: Barcelona is one of those cities that seems like it has it all (culture, food, shopping, architecture, beaches, nightlife, sports, women :noah: etc.)

Lisbon is the most underrated European city to me, it’s mad cheap and the food is excellent. Great beaches, weather and so much to see and do.

I was there in July

Do Africans be moving their whole homes while traveling or what...they be having like 5 big ass bags stacked on top of each other. No offense to my African brehs but Africans the WOAT at the airport and on the airplanes. They just be doing to much:hhh:


Anyway the last 6 months been

Dubai is dopez. Not really as overrated as people like to say it is. Was there solo but had fun especially after meeting somebody there. Will go again and the hotels there are surprisely cheap. Had an apartment style hotel for like $65.

I went cartegana Colombia last month. One of the most beautiful cities I been to. Very dope spots cool people.

Had a 11hour in paris and it’s the most overrated cities on earth. Maybe I’m just not interested in the euro architecture and history. Will not go back.

Spent a day and a half in Addis yesterday. In June I spent 4days there but I didn’t travel outisde the city or do too much since they had a potential coup going down so the internet was out. It was dope. Didn’t get to do too much but felt safe and the people was cool. The food was :ohlawd: even tho the appearance is :scust:. Had a female friend out there to show me around.

Did 5 days in Bali. But too many cacs:scust:. I stayed in Seminyak and that was Cac central. Would go again but i would go on a romantic type vibe because partying with cacs is :scust:


Went to the Philippines during rainy season. Rained everyday:sadcam:. People was cool. The poverty there is :mjcry:. Did 2 days in Manila and spent 3days in AC:mjgrin:. Stayed at the ABC hotel in AC and that’s one of the dopest hotels I ever been too. Expensive for the Philippines tho.

Spent like a month and half in Thailand which is my main hub. I been to Thailand many times so I was just chilling and relaxing this time.
