Our Story

Black Americans are much less likely to have ever traveled abroad (49%) than White (75%) or Hispanic Americans (73%). White adults are also more likely to have been to five or more countries (30%) than Black (13%) or Hispanic (15%) adults. As a black owned small business with a passion for travel, our mission is to increase these numbers for black Americans and we believe that travel should be accessible for everyone to enjoy. We want to expose our people to the world, literally and without reservation (pun intended).

As a matter of statistics, people of color are typically charged 30% more than other ethnicities for travel reservations, for no other reason than the color of their skin.  Our extensive first-hand experience in global travel for over 40 years coupled with an innovative and collaborative approach set us apart in the industry.  This experience allows us to secure you not only a fair rate, but the best rate so you can use the savings to enjoy your incredible adventure. We curate amazing once-in-a-lifetime memories for our clients using our years of knowledge and experience of tourism and travel. Our services include booking reservations, assisting clients with choosing their destinations, designing tours, scheduling transportation, and lodging accommodations. Additionally, we provide useful information for travelers regarding passport and visa requirements, COVID-19 advisements and restrictions, rates of currency exchange, climate advisement and travel insurance options, and much more.
