Travel N Sh!t Podcast

A good playlist has always been a source of calm for me. This week I needed something cute and light (sis been goin through it, y’all) so I chose a few musical genres and chose the trips that exuded those same feelings for me. Have you had any trips that gave you soul? Hip hop? R & B? Pop? I dive into some of my most memorable experiences abroad and how each of them correlate to a musical essence....

With borders opening up and travel on the hearts and minds of many, I figured it was a good time to revisit some common questions for new travelers. From how to combat the fear of solo travel, how to book flights, accommodations and experiences, packing and researching your destination, this episode is a great place to start if you need a little guidance.

The idea of giving advice to a younger me doesn’t appeal as much as helping my younger cousins. My cousins ya’ll. Them babies mean so much to me. I’ve lived quite a bit in my years and traveling has given me the space to put a lot of it into perspective. From developing my intuition, being open to making the wrong decisions, believing in an intentional universe and believing (and seeing) that I’m...

Sis is back!! Ep. 32 Left, Right & Out of Sight guest Anneka Jacobs is back to update us on her experience with dental school in Spain. Spoiler- she hated it. Her experience of being one of the ONLY black students, one of the only Americans, an ADULT student AND being unable to find a community of likeminded Black women made for a clusterfuck of emotions. Anneka isn’t new to being the only Black w...

These are absolutely historical times. We’re in the midst of choosing which side of history we want to be on. I’ve done my share of introspection and this week I needed an experienced voice to discuss the movement with. I was joined by attorney and activist Angelo Pinto of Until Freedom to discuss regional differences in and suggested ways to safely protest, the different ways activism can look, o...

My apologies in advance for this being a pretty heavy episode. It was difficult for me to get through this. I’m tired. I’m hurting. I’m scared. I’m so many things. In the midst of all my feelings, I came across a post in the Nomadness Facebook group posted by Dyshaun Hines - “Question for the tribe, did Marcus Garvey have the right idea - or do you stay and fight for the country that became our ho...

I’ve been telling y’all for a while that travel is more than vacation. I miss beaches and hikes, new experiences and people, but I’m perfectly fine without it right now. This week I do a reflection of how my travel style is reflecting in how I’ve been able to cope with being home, and more. Dig in. Be social! Host: http://www.instagram.com/_dCarrie

If you haven’t caught on, I love my plants. Being home has allowed me to dive deeper into said love, and develop it into an actual “hobby”. The more I pay attention to them, somehow, the more I learn about myself. When I intentionally piece it all together, I can see how my travels have been trying to teach me the same lessons. This week the theme is patience. The main lessons my plants have taugh...

I avoided the topic for a while, but I bit the bullet and dove into a few articles attempting to predict what travel post COVID will be. Are you willing to get a future COVID vaccine to cross boarders in the future? Is there any credibility to the idea of “immunity passports”? Where are we going to see price increases? What changes are you willing to make? Have a listen. Here are the articles I re...

Over the past few weeks, I’ve found plenty of ways to keep myself occupied. I’m a special breed of person that never gets bored if I have internet available.  Besides spending time loving on my plants and taking up home projects, I’ve found myself paying more attention to the trinkets I’ve picked up along the way on my travels. Some of them are pretty objects without a story because I can’t rememb...

Y’all!! This week I had two Travel N Sh!t listeners Brittaney and Tiffany join me for a super fun convo about time travel, alternate dimensions, deja vu, themed travel and whole bunch of other really fun “fantasy travel” related shit! Would you go back in time? What era? Where to? Would you want to know your future? Would you change anything about your past? Listen to our thoughts on these questio...

This week my guest Nyemiah Supreme and I chopped it up about not letting the Rona stop the bag, what our post apocalyptic plans are, being in the spotlight abroad, her different travel experiences as a performer, being on reality TV and so much more. Swimsuits on deck so don’t forget to check out the visuals on...

I don’t generally spend a good portion of my time on vacation looking into how I'm experiencing myself, in my new destination. Since I'm stuck in the house, I took a page out of my travel book and looked into how things were going and how I was experiencing myself during this time. Have a look inside my head and my home!

Travel conver...

***Trigger warning*** This episode may be difficult for some listeners, as we discus very candidly dealing with a parent with mental health, drug and alcohol issues. But we also discuss tools and resources for seeking and accepting help. Get into it. Many of us use travel as an escape. This week I speak with the author of “Keep Calm, Bring Your Carry On! The Ultimate Sefl-Care Guide for Travelers...

I needed a mental check out and something light. So I had my boy If back on to talk the supernatural… would you be a vampire, werewolf or witch (or warlock as insisted by If)? What are your views on religion? Why do you believe in what you believe in? What about travel are you afraid of? What about travel allows you to see your problems at home differently? It’s mad deep and fun at the same time t...

This week I chatted it up with my homegirl Jasmine from some of your favorite viral dance videos. We discussed how dancing abroad changed her views on life, getting lost in Paris, being treated as royalty in China, fetes, soca, first class flights and more. We also had our girl Michelle drop in and kick it with us a bit; she’s the third voice you hear in the background lol. Check us out! Be social...

Another introspective episoooode!! This week I'm fresh from the loss of another family member. All of this death got me to thinking, what will I leave behind? I immediately thought of the journals I was supposed to start for some important little ladies in my life that I still haven't. This episode, I touched on three topics travel has strongly influenced my thoughts and feelings on; being alone,...

This week I had Jade and Jayla, a beautiful mother daughter duo discuss their travels abroad (they spent over 9 months exploring the world together!!), home schooling and living in a van!
