50 + Amazing Black Travel Bloggers You Should Follow!

Top Black Travel Bloggers

amazing black travel bloggers, black travel, travel bloggers, travel blogs

Updated June 2020. Since this post was originally written 2 years ago, I have met additional amazing Black and Brown travel bloggers. But still, the travel industry lacks diversity. We are not well represented. Although “Diversity and Inclusion” is the current “it” phrase, how many travel brands are actually practicing this? How many are hiring travel bloggers of color for their executive teams and campaigns? How many of them are paying us equally? As you can see from this list, Black travel bloggers cover all travel niches including luxury, family travel, adventure travel, budget, solo, culinary and outdoor travel. The additional Black travel bloggers listed really deserve their own blog post as a Part II. However, I wanted to have one big fat list as a resource especially since this blog post still ranks as #1 for a Google search of “Black Travel Bloggers”. So, even if you have read this list before, please scroll to the bottom to follow the new travel bloggers listed. Thank you. 

Start of original post…

The black travel bloggers listed range in age, sex, and travel niches. Although I have been blogging for years now, this is my first round up of black travel bloggers. I have admired many of these travel bloggers over the years and they have inspired me and supported me in this travel blogging journey. Another reason I wanted to feature these amazing black travel bloggers is because too often travel blogging lists look the same and lack diversity. Besides paying homage to the pioneers that you are probably familiar with, I wanted to showcase new and less familiar black travel bloggers. There are so many of us out here.

I have chosen Instagram as the means to introduce them because Instagram has also become very uniform in terms of what types of bloggers and photos get seen. Follow these amazing black travel bloggers listed below to get a diverse line up in your Instagram feed. I am sure you will love them as much as I do. It was actually hard to find pictures of some of these black travel bloggers on their Instagram accounts because their accounts are so focused on travel and beautiful photography.

Top 50 Black Travel Bloggers

1. Oneika The Traveller:

When I first started travel blogging, Oneika was the first person I could identify with (read more about my early experience as a black female travel writer). At the time, I honestly didn’t see any other female black travel bloggers on social media. Later I found several black travel couples I love to follow as well. Oneika is a trailblazer and I am so happy for her success. She speaks her mind about everything including the lack of diversity in travel blogging. Besides her blog, you can also catch her on Travel Channel’s Big City, Little Budget & One Bag and You’re Out.

2. Carol Cain of Girl Gone Travel:

I have also been following Carol for years and have had the privilege of meeting her in person. Carol is outspoken on her blog, on social media and in her work as a consultant about the need for diversity in travel blogging. She gave an excellent opening keynote speech at TBEX North America in 2015. She encouraged everyone to share their unique stories based on their different backgrounds. These days she is busy running @BraveWorldMedia

3. Erick Prince of Minority Nomad:

Erick wants to be the first African-American to travel to every country and I have no doubt that he will accomplish this. He has already traveled to 95 countries. Erick is not only one of my top 25 great black travel bloggers but he is also a vlogger and an accomplished photographer. He has the unique ability to capture humanity in pictures from all over the world.

  • Because of the earthquakes, I have not shared information about Turkey in a while. It was so devastating@to hear the news after spending time there in December. I continue to pray 🙏🏽 for everyone affected. Consider making a donation. I did to @doctorswithoutborders 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I did write 2 travel guides on Istanbul based on my trip there with @goturkiye. One is a comprehensive guide on Istanbul with information on luxury hotels, restaurants, shopping, museums, and my favorite neighborhoods. The other is a Turkish food guide. I was on a culinary trip, so as you can imagine, I ate it all!! You can find both at thesophisticatedlife.com
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now if you are a shopaholic, beware of the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul! It has EVERYTHING your heart desires! I have never seen so many different stalls, from ball gowns to ceramics to sportswear. I bought myself a beautiful leather purse and was tempted to buy so much more. Credit cards and Turkish lira are accepted.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As far as the Spice Bazaar, the aromas were captivating. I enjoyed just looking at the array of spices and sampling Lokum. There is a long swift line for purchasing packaged Turkish coffee, so have your lira ready!

  • BLACK-OWNED WINE BAR IN LONDON!
***Save for your next trip to London! If you are in London-check it out this weekend!

Did you know the actor, DJ, humanitarian etc etc @idriselba is also the co-owner of a wine bar in London?!! 

@portenoirekx is a cozy wine bar in the Kings Cross neighborhood which is a major rail hub filled with cool restaurants and shops on a canal. Perfect for a romantic evening!

The wine menu is extensive! Red, white, Rose, Orange wines, Wine on Tap, and my favorite-BUBBLES! There also have Cocktails. 

I decided to try one of their wines-the Porte Noire "Vintage" Blanc de Blancs Grand cru 2010-100% Chardonnay from Champagne, France for 19 pounds per glass, 119 pounds per bottle. It was fresh, crisp, radiant..

The menu is limited but unique. We had the Sourdough with "Umeboshi butter", Charcuterie plate, Mushroom arancini with sun dried tomato pesto, roast pork belly with tamarind glaze and "peanut sambal". WHOA. Such an extraordinary combination of flavors!! And for dessert we shared the burnt matcha cheesecake! 

As I walked around my mouth dropped open at the wine cellar collection! 

These are the experiences I would like to share when you join me on @culinarytravels_thesophislife Sign up for my newsletter to get all the info!

Have you been to @portenoirekx ?

  • ***SAVE FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP TO NAPA!!
During my trip to Napa for the @blackvines_ weekend of events I stayed at this luxury Black-owned Bed & Breakfast in downtown Napa! @mcclellandhouse 

It was AMAZING! I have been to Napa several times including last year & didn’t know it existed so I’m so glad Black Vines introduced me to it! 

We spent 4 nights being pampered. The main house has 5 bedrooms with their own bathrooms and each had their own theme. Our bedroom and bathroom were HUGE and more like a suite. It was the master. There is also a separate house w a bedroom and bathroom that sleeps 4. Some of the rooms have terraces 😍😍. 

We had breakfast every morning made fresh by a chef and he even took recommendations 🥞 and we had delicious mimosas 🍾🍾

The location was ideal. You can walk to the shops & restaurants downtown. 

There was also daily housekeeping services. Parking right in front of the house. Easy access to the house. Living and dining room lounge areas. Tea & coffee in the room. Hermes lotions and soaps… 

I would love to go back next year with a group for @culinarytravels_thesophislife Who is coming with me?

  • If you are going to Whistler BC, here are some essential packing tips! These tips can actually be used for most ski resort areas in Canada and the US.  Here is a tip-Early spring AKA as the “shoulder season” is a great time to go skiing. 
It’s less crowded, less expensive, warmer weather! 
I went to @gowhistler and stayed at @fairmontwhistlr in April last year and it was perfect! 

Back to packing tips: 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1. Layers, layers, layers: Make sure to pack plenty of layers to keep you warm and comfortable on the slopes. This includes thermal base layers, insulating mid-layers, and a waterproof outer layer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2. Ski equipment: If you’re bringing your own ski equipment, make sure to pack skis or snowboard, boots, poles, helmets, and goggles. If you’re renting, double-check the rental equipment options at your destination to ensure availability.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3. Accessories: Don’t forget to pack essential accessories like gloves, mittens, a hat, neck warmer or balaclava, and hand and feet warmers.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
4. Apres-ski wear: After a long day on the slopes, you’ll want something comfortable and warm to change into. Pack comfortable shoes or boots, warm sweaters, and pants for lounging around the chalet.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
5. Sun protection: The sun can be strong at high altitudes, so don’t forget to pack sunscreen, lip balm with SPF, and sunglasses or goggles with UV protection.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
6. Personal items: Pack your essentials, such as toiletries, medications, and any other personal items you may need for your trip.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
7. Travel documents: Make sure to bring your passport, visas, travel insurance, and other important documents.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
8. Backpack: A backpack is essential for carrying water, snacks, and other essentials while you’re on the mountain.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
9. Camera: Don’t forget to capture the amazing scenery and memories on your ski trip. Bring a camera or smartphone to take pictures and videos of your adventure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
10. Emergency kit: Lastly, pack an emergency kit with first aid supplies, a flashlight, and extra batteries, just in case.
