My experience traveling in Switzerland as a Black traveler (semi-solo) ✈️ 🇨🇭

Everyone has different travel experiences (even amongst Black travelers). But I posted this because sometimes I feel like these algorithms only like to promote Black trauma or the most negative experiences.

How you’re perceived can vary a lot from skin color to hair texture to whether or not you’re Black with an American accent or not. There’s a lotttt of variables honestly 😅

However, sometimes we travel to places and nothing eventful happens - and that should be shown too lol! I’m not saying nothing can ever happen if you’re Black in Switzerland, but I thought I’d share my experience on my group trip with !

What is it like riding trains around the world solo? 🚂 🇲🇽 🇺🇸 🇵🇪 🇻🇳

When most people think of train travel they think of Europe! But a lot of my adventures have been in the western hemisphere (plus Vietnam a bit further away lol) - and some of my most memorable solo adventures.

I love traveling with people but I’m never missing out on things I want to do so that means sometimessss I have to go alone ✨

Alaskan summer: experiencing never ending days because the sun barely sets ☀️

This was my first time in Alaska and my first time experiencing the midnight sun!! June and summer solstice week is one of the best times to visit. The midnight sun will keep you out all night - at least until 12am or later on actual summer solstice

Alaska was my 33rd state visited and each day was so memorable in its own way. I fear I need to experience all the places that have a midnight sun now. And there’s still train rides to share too 🚂😍
