It’s a poorly written sentence. But we know what he meant.
How about we stop trying to police/shame how other people spend their money. I’ve never stepped foot in Europe and it has no impact on my life if someone prefers to travel there as opposed to anywhere else on this earth.

Never understood this either. I got my passport but haven’t used it yet. 1st country ima go to is either on the west or east coast of Africa.




This nikka said, why don't Mexicans travel to Trinidad or why don't East Indians travel to Ghana:mjlol:.

Have you seen how the average Mexican and East Indian live in their country :mjlol:. East Indians shyt in the Ocean and river, you think they have enough money to travel to Trinidad.

On top of that, there are Wast Indians living in Trinidad.

The whole World is a Slave Ship.

Black Americans dont even travel because we don't have the money for trips to europe 1 star:camby:

If you haven’t already noticed, black women are currently slaying the travel scene.

In fact, we are traveling now more than ever before. African-Americans’ intent to travel reportedly increased by 19 percent just from 2015 to 2016. According to the Mandala Research Firm, 17% of us take one or more international trips a year, and we spend $48 billion on travel in the United States alone.

But in a society where the typical jet-setter is portrayed as white, minority travelers are consistently underrepresented by the mainstream travel industry. Despite the media’s misrepresentation, there is a large, fast-growing community of black travelers, and these six trailblazing black travel groups are at the forefront.

All owned and operated by BAUCE women, they share a common goal: to shatter the stereotype that people of color don’t travel.

1. Nomadness Travel Tribe

. Tastemakers Africa

Tastemakers Africa’s motto is “travel Africa, skip mediocre.” While images of travel in Africa are often limited to safaris and camel rides, this company designs itineraries that focus on interacting with the local people and culture through art, music, and cuisine. This black travel group hosts tours of cities like Lagos, Dakar, and Accra. The group also hosts authentic activities curated and led by locals.

Cherae Robinson started the company to change the often-negative perceptions of the continent. Her former NGO job frequently led her to African countries, but her journeys were often met with fear and skepticism from those at home. But upon seeing people’s positive interest in response to the photos and stories she brought back with her, she saw an opportunity to transform the narrative by inviting people to experience some of the lesser known aspects of African life. Soon after, the Tastemakers brand was born, and it has since grown into a global community with offices around the world.

If you’re planning your own trip, be sure to check out their mobile app, TSTMKRS, to find the best events at your destination, ranging from hidden beach escapes to pop-up dining with local chefs!

4. Black Adventuristas

Black Adventuristas founder Veronica Garnett credits adventure with saving her life and is on a mission to inspire more women of color to live daringly. The Howard and Columbia graduate’s first big adventure was completing a flying trapeze class back in 2010, in the hopes that conquering her fears would help her better manage the severe anxiety and depression she struggled with daily. Since taking that leap, she hasn’t looked back; she’s checked skydiving, rock climbing, volcano trekking, and other exhilarating feats from her list.

Inspired by her own life-changing experience, Garnett launched Black Adventuristas as a platform to encourage, celebrate, and connect adventurous black women. According to their Facebook page, the group “aims to inspire black women to conquer their fears, pursue their dreams, and fully experience the adventure that is life. Whether it is traveling the world, tackling an epic bucket list, quitting a “good” job to pursue a non-traditional career, trying a daring new hair or lipstick color, or simply dining alone for the first time, all adventures are worthwhile.” Check out their Instagram, Facebook, and Tumblr, and keep an eye out for their upcoming website.

5. Black Girls Travel Too

This Instagram sensation is another of the few groups specifically geared towards women. Lifestyle coach Danny Rivers Mitchell created Black Girls Travel Too to demonstrate the endless possibilities that exist for women of color. As their website states, “It’s not just for those who are born with a silver spoon in their mouths, but for those who crave more and have the desire to think outside of the box where travel is concerned. It is for those who allow possibility and opportunity to meet.”

With that empowering message—along with their group tours of incredible destinations like Cuba and Barbados—Black Girls Travel Too is emboldening more and more women of color to discover the world on their own terms.

6. Passport Posse

Are you into traveling in crews? Then this is the group that you need to know about. Started by two travel addicts, Shantoya and Willie, outside of a cafe in Greece, Passport Posse was born from the need to reverse the negative perceptions and encounters that they had experienced as African-Americans in foreign countries.

7. Urban Events Global

Last but not least, this travel group is a secret gem that will help you discover the world. Founded in 2011, Urban Events Global members are predominately people of color who enjoy experiencing all that life has to offer, from exotic trips to international travel. The group currently has more than 50,000 members and includes accomodations for their international packages.



Nomadness_India_Camels-1024x683.jpg

Nomadness is a pioneer of the black travel movement. It started as a web series back in 2011, when founder Evie Robbie began documenting her travels via YouTube after a year and a half of globetrotting.
2. Travel Noire

Travel Noire is a stylish, sophisticated black travel group geared towards young professionals. Founder and CEO Zim Ugochukwu created the community as a space for people of color to share and bond over experiences abroad. Three years later, the Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur sold her thriving business to Blavity, Inc to help scale the ability for unconventional travelers to learn and grow.

Every year the group hosts an adult camping trip in Central Texas for individuals who love the outdoors and are looking to bond and make new friends in the company of Mother Nature. For people that love the seas, Urban Events Group also offers a luxurious cruise weekend every March for ultimate party-goers.

If using your passport is more your travel style, then you can also partake in an annual international meetup that occurs in far-off, activity-packed locations. If you’re looking to mingle with a mature and fun-loving crowd, then Urban Events Global is your crew.

For those of us who do travel...we kno...

Flights to (black) Africa are expensive and aren’t as frequent as they are to Europe. And when you get over there the accomadations are still expensive as fuk

African countries usually are less secure (notice I didn’t say completely unsafe). I’d love to go to Kinshasa, Khartoum and Timbuktu...but when you got people with face wraps walking around with AKs claiming to be Al Queda loyalists..you tend to think twice about it

Flights to Africa from the US are usually connecting flights and rarely direct flights. So to get to a lot of places there you have to fly to Europe first and your flight can up being 15-20 hours one way where a lot of flights to Europe are 5-10 hours one way

I love Africa but travelling to Africa is much harder than travelling to Europe.

When I went to Africa I had to get shots, I had to get a visa and the flight was expensive.

Now when I went to Europe earlier this year no shots needed no visa and flight was cheap
