Idk why it took me so long to talk about food, but here we are! Not just the types of food, but the way we break bread play such a colorful role in the stories of the communities we visit. Wherever you go, you can find some variation of a celebration of food. From the way its cooked, harvested or shared, you can learn so much about a people by how they enjoy their food. If you allow yourself, you...

Are you familiar with the five love languages - Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Quality Time, Acts of Service & Physical Touch? We all (allegedly ☝🏽) show and receive love most clearly in one of these manners. This week I dive into the different ways I’ve experienced then all in my travels. Be social!

Are you setting yourself up for trip failure? Or are you laying the foundation to return from your next adventure stress free? We can’t control everything, but we can absolutely prepare! Over the years I’ve learned that my checklist of things to take care of BEFORE I leave are just as important to planning out my travels. From taking out the trash, calling my cell phone provider and the ways I get...

We decided on a quick little getaway and it didn’t disappoint! Restaurant week, walking tours, the African American museum, breweries, linking with friends- we packed it IN! Dive in and see how it went, what I loved, what I didn’t and let me know, are you taking any road trips this summer? I’ve put together an itinerary pack that includes five different weekend friendly roadtrips hours from NYC. T...

Ep 135. Travel Gear I’ve Learned to Bring Everywhere by dCarrie

We have expectations of most things in life, so it shouldn't come to much surprise that those expectations can affect your travels. From false advertisements, wack tour guides, above and beyond service, and choosing the right or wrong travel buddy, setting the tone early can save you from regret. This week I get into some of my trips that did and didn't meet my personal expectations and give you s...

Until I’d spoken with Julie, I swore up and down that I’d never been to a festival in my life. After speaking with Ton about his insane “New Years Twice” event happening this upcoming 2022 New Years Eve, I figured it’d be time to see if I’d be up for the undertaking of attending a festival. Tune in and see what I’ve learned. Be social! Guest: Julie Http://www.instagram.com/frameambition Hittp://ww...

Anthropologist, entrepreneur, professor, fashionista, traveller. My guest this week, Dr. Mikaila Brown pours her knowledge and experience into conversations on cultural appropriation, the stories fashion tells, and so much more.

I thought I wanted to speak with Kunbi about her wild experiences in customs, and we ended up taking an unexpected direction. We discussed how our families influenced our views on travel, how her Nigerian and my American upbringing compare and differ, her experience as an international runaway (spoiler, she ran away from home in Nigeria to come to school in the US !! ), couch surfing, wild group t...

Not just a traveler and podcaster but fifth year doctoral candidate. This week’s guest is an expat educator and she’s dedicating her research to examining why black teachers have such high demand AND turnover rates. From experiencing a teacher strike in South Africa during a powerful study abroad experience, to her experience as an educator in the Middle East, we discuss how seeking better work en...

Wellness travel is a well known and popular category I’d venture to say most of us have heard of here. Whether you’re heading out for an Eat, Pray, Love experience or heading to a destination because you heard their ocean is salty (read as because there’s a beach and you found a cheap enough flight), wellness can happen wherever you let it. This week I spoke with @solhealingwithitalia about her jo...

This one is for the new travelers or those who want to travel but still have reservations. Over the years I’ve consistently heard the same concerns from (mostly) women who are hesitant to take the leap into their greatest travel selves. In this episode, I break dow the top five misconceptions about travel I’ve seen and heard. My hope is that by the end of this episode, you’ll feel a little more co...

Have you given yourself grace recently? Yes you! Whomever you are, you’re living through a global pandemic. We’re all ready to be done with the restrictions, but what does it look like on the other side? How are airlines going to recoup these costs? Have you considered how you’d feel about an establishment or accommodation requiring its staff to vaccinate? Would you pay a mandatory insurance fee t...

I was recently asked to speak to some middle school and high school kids about adversity I’d faced in my professional experience as a black woman. As always, I ended up talking about travel and the kids had a ton of questions. This week I carried over some of the questions that stood out and answered them here (with as little cursing as possible, I promise it was only like twice). This is the perf...

I needed a break this week. Lot’s of back end stuff happening so I took the easy route and just answered a bunch of questions! But as always, I come with the value.

This week was a good one! I got into the ways I’ve been able to see myself grow. I think I was a pretty solid person before I got into travel, but I’ve been able to see how it has really helped me develop some of my character in really rich and beneficial ways. I’m more patient, have seen first hand how adaptable and flexible I can be when I need to be (not just when I want to be) and I’ve been ab...

This week I chopped it up with one of my favorite Clubhouse moderators Cassy Woodley of The Roaming Republic.  She detailed her love of motorbikes abroad and how they haven’t always loved her back - accidents, stitches, terrible hospital visits, police abuse, extortion, arrests…ya’ll, A TIME. Thankfully, she hasn’t let her torrid experiences with police and disheartening medical care stop her from...
