In my last post, I mentioned researching black travel bloggers and students that have studied abroad. I decided to create a place where other black and brown students, travelers, etc. could find these sources in one place.
This is an ever-growing list. If there is one thing that I have learned in this search, it is that there are more and more people of color breaking boundaries and stereotypes by traveling around the world. I hope someone also finds this helpful.
Enough introduction, here is what I have so far in no particular order:
Black and Abroad: Black and Abroad
Oneika the Traveller: This is one of the first blogs that I encountered when I started looking into black travel blogs. Oneika Raymond has traveled extensively abroad and here in the U.S. As a fellow black woman, she gives tips and tricks about solo travel, haircare, and a whole lot more.
Damon and Jo: Found this channel a few years back. Damon and Jo travel on a budget around the world–meeting new people, experiencing life, and learning new languages. I personally enjoy their travel vlogs.
Travel Noire: Like Black and Abroad, Travel Noire is another brand that shares the experiences and tips of travelers of color.
