Few people realize it, but as a black person, our skin color is an integral part of our travel experience. I really started realizing it when I traveled solo for a year.
Since I was getting more and more messages from readers asking advice about traveling as a black person, I decided to write a 200+ pages essay. I relate experiences black people in general go through when traveling. I share my own experiences, observations, and anecdotes. I also share experiences of fellow black travelers.
