Hungry Black Girl Travels: Recent Episodes
Hungry Black Girl Travels
Hungry Black Girl Travels is a travel and lifestyle podcast featuring my experiences and those of my friends traveling domestically and internationally. The term hungry captures my "hunger" for culture, cuisine, and all things in between.
This month's episode is a follow up to my Travel Planning episode where I share a quick rundown of my best advice for travel budget preparation.
On Episode 4 of Hungry Black Girl Travels, I sit down with Sierra to discuss her travel blog, Your Change of Scenery and her recent expansion into the travel planning industry as a Travel Advisor.
With Your Change of Scenery, Sierra aims to prove that it’s possible to make traveling a part of your lifestyle! For her, traveling is a way to remain sane and to cope with all of the harsh realities of adulting. It’s a luxury that she’s blessed to be able to afford, and she’s happy to share her tips and tricks for making travel more affordable!
Listen as Sierra and I discuss her inspiration for Your Change of Scenery, her best tips for traveling on a budget, hair and beauty, solo travel vs. group travel, travel elitism in the black travel community and so much more!

On Episode 3 of HBGT, I sat down with Shomari to discuss her experiences studying abroad in not one, not two, but FIVE countries since the age of 16🙆🏾♀️!
We highlight the real deal about studying abroad in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe specifically as a Black American woman. Her story is powerful, inspiring and informative! I hope you all enjoy this one and please share with any students you know!
