Hi! My name is Lauren, and I’m excited to welcome you to Black Girls in Wanderlust. I first fell in love with traveling when I studied abroad in college, and have now visited over 25 countries. The wanderlust has only grown stronger as I’ve gotten the chance to explore new places, learn about new cultures, try amazing food, and see some truly breathtaking sites. I wanted to create a space for women of color to get travel tips, since our experience can often differ while traveling, and there’s so many things I wish I would have known when I first stepped out of the country all those years ago.
I hope to share my travels with you as well as travel tips, hacks, and recommendations so you can experience the same joy and wonder from traveling. Whether you’re looking for a weeklong itinerary for a trip to Portugal, wondering how to use points to book flights to Bali for free, want to know the best food to try in Thailand, or have questions about traveling solo to Paris, I hope to be both a resource and source of inspiration. Welcome to Black Girls in Wanderlust!
