Travel N Sh!t Podcast

With the continued silence of performative allies who once posted black squares in solidarity, it’s easy to begin to question where we belong in the greater scheme of things. Spoiler: WE BELONG EVERYWHERE. We don’t just “belong” where there are other black folks, where people look and sound like us or where we’re used to being. We belong wherever we’re able to connect with the energy. This week I get into some of the places I’ve felt most connected to and where I knew in each moment I was right where I belonged. Be social!

Wheeeew! I meant to mention that this was ep 100 but I wanted to get to the point lol. Congrats to us for making it a buck, y’all! This week I dive into the topic of guilt. I discuss the guilt I feel just THINKING about leaving my aging grandparents and parents to live in another country and the guilt of leaving a “secure” job with a guaranteed paycheck and benefits. Instead of focusing on the idea of what I MIGHT feel, I shifted from that to the guilt I actually know I DO feel from past trips and what I try and use that guilt for practically.

Things ARE going to go wrong when we travel, the same as they do when we’re home. But a change in plans or cancellation DOES NOT have to mean an opportunity denied! You didn’t spend all of that money and all that time getting to this new and exciting destination to leave an opportunity on the table! This week I talk about some of my most memorable travel pivots and how I’ve been able to salvage opportunities abroad. Want to celebrate my birthday with me? Download my Solo Travel Planning Course!

Have you ever considered downsizing? Minimalism? What if your perception of those concepts was what was holding you back and not your perceived inability to conform to them?

It’s a real one birthday!!! I’m turning 35 and the kid LOVES birthdays! Even though I can’t love up on my friends and family like I’d want to, I’m still super excited about my birthday this year. Like the tradition of actually celebrating my birthday, this week, I get into the traditions I follow for EVERY trip, my travel wish list of destinations and experiences I’d love to gift myself and of course, a reflection of how I’m experiencing myself in the present.  Full circle. Past, present and future chat; it’s a fun and meaningful one. Want to celebrate my birthday with me? Download my Solo Travel Planning Course! It’s FREE!!! Not new to solo travel?

I’m not talking about risky viewer submitted stunts for TV. I’m talking about eating exotic shit, cold weather destinations, camping, interacting with wild animals and anything that doesn’t keep you ten toes down. In my attempts to travel intentionally, I’ve done so many wildly satisfying and exciting things! I’ve faced my fears, made new friends and stretched myself into a new existence of who I am. This week I talk about some of those experiences and include some listener feedback about things they enjoy that they’ve been told is “white people shit”. Dive in. Be social!

Woooo! New fave episode!! We got into so much this week! Ight so if you’ve been here for a while, you know I don’t get down with resorts. I enjoy immersing myself in the local community and feeling like I’m getting as authentic experience as possible while I’m visiting a new country and community. This week my guest Tyla Flowers of Smile Jamaica Resort explained to me how she’s created just that with the luxury of a resort at your disposal. Y’all! Here for it! While discussing the unique ways Smile Jamaica caters to solo and culturally interested travelers, incorporates the local community and ensures the needs of disabled travelers are also included, we get into Tyla’s personal story and her why. A week after delivering her daughter, Tyla suffered her first massive heart attack and was sent home. The next day she suffered her second and didn’t wake up for weeks. *deep sigh* Tyla’s story is one of the most dynamic and layered discussions I think I’ve had here on Travel N Sh!t and I can’t wait for y’all to

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. Fun shit. Dive in.

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 capable of so much more than I think I am, I lowkey have a lot of wisdom to share.

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 woman or living overseas; so why was THIS experience so different from her last and how was it similar? Let’s not forget she was living and traveling abroad when Covid hit and derailed EVERYTHING. Dive in. Be social!

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, our experiences with the diaspora abroad and so much more.

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 home?” I have quite a few thoughts on the matter.

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.

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 taught me so far are that what I want may not be what’s best, when something is wrong, fix it; otherwise give your decision time to develop and that growth takes patience. I’m not a naturally patient person, but life experiences are insistent on me becoming such. This week, I share how I’ve had these lessons reveal themselves in my life curriculum. Be social!
