We traveled to Europe, and we're bringing you the REAL conversation. 🇬🇷🇵🇹✈️
From Greece to Portugal, this episode of Ladies of Sosa brings together Black travelers to talk about what it's really like experiencing Europe through our eyes.
We share our recent Greece experience, while our Tariq joins the conversation with his experience traveling to Portugal for Afro Nation.
And we're going beyond the beautiful pictures.
What is it actually like traveling through Europe as a Black person? Do Black men and Black women experience travel differently? How important is representation? Have we ever felt "noticed" because of our race? And are some destinations really more Black-friendly than others?
We're talking about:
🇬🇷 Greece: Food, beaches, culture, transportation, hospitality and whether it lived up to the hype
🇵🇹 Portugal & Afro Nation: The festival experience, traveling as a Black man, and what Portugal was like beyond the event
🌍 Traveling While Black: Racism, representation, beauty standards, feeling welcomed vs. feeling noticed
💇🏾♀️ Black Hair & Beauty Abroad: Finding products, navigating beauty standards, and preparing for different climates
💰 The Real Cost of Travel: Budgeting, luxury travel, travel hacks and whether you really need to be rich to see the world
📱 Social Media vs. Reality: Are we traveling for the experience or for the content?
🔥 Unpopular Travel Opinions: From overpacked itineraries to tourist traps, influencer culture and luxury travel
👫 Men vs. Women: Do Black men and Black women have different experiences when traveling internationally?
And we're asking the questions that might get people talking:
Is Europe really Black-friendly?
Do Black travelers expect too much from destinations?
Has social media ruined some travel experiences?
Are we traveling to experience the world or to prove that we were there?
Whether you're planning your first international trip, you're a seasoned traveler, or you're still waiting to get that passport stamped, this conversation is for you.
🌍 LET'S TALK IN THE COMMENTS:
What's the best country you've visited?
What country exceeded your expectations?
Have you ever experienced racism or discrimination while traveling?
Do you think Black men and Black women have different experiences abroad?
And what's the ONE country every Black person should visit at least once?
