7 Soft Landings: A New Solo Travel Series for Black Women

Welcome to our "7 Soft Landings: A New Solo Travel Series for Black Women"

Are you ready to explore the world but feel nervous about starting solo? Or have you considered moving abroad but don’t know where to go and may be hesitant about living outside of the US?

So many influencers and voices are out there saying, “just leave the US” or “you should go on a sabbatical”  Although most are well-intentioned it’s important to remember that this decision is more than just a notion. The reality is, not everyone has traveled extensively—or even has a passport. If you’re someone who’s considering taking a break from the US (*raises hand in solidarity), I encourage you to explore this Soft Landings blog series. It’s designed to help you prepare for an extended escape or even a more permanent exit, making the transition less overwhelming.

This series is made especially for Black women stepping into solo travel or seeking ease in another country with which they’re not familiar. We'll highlight cities perfect for slow, relaxed adventures, where English is spoken often, making your journey smoother and more enjoyable.

We'll begin with destinations closest to the U.S. before venturing farther abroad.

Each destination will cover:

  • Safety insights tailored for solo women travelers.

  • Transportation tips to navigate like a local.

  • Apps you need to enhance your experience.

  • Air quality and weather—know what to expect and pack accordingly!

  • Cost of living so you can budget wisely.

  • Water quality for staying healthy on the go.

  • Finding clothes in your size because style shouldn't be a struggle abroad.

  • Handy travel items that will make your trip smoother and more comfortable.

  • Visa-free stays—know how long you can stay without a visa and what to expect.

Stay tuned for valuable solo travel tips, city guides, and travel inspiration designed with you in mind. Let’s wander wisely, slowly, and confidently!
