MADE LIFE
1. NOMADNESS TRAVEL TRIBE When you decide to opt in to your curiosity of what is outside
of your standard tourist spots or even a culture that is the complete opposite of what you’re used
to, you’ll need to do some heavy research. Amongst all the useful information will be Nomadness
Travel Tribe. The Tribe, created by Evita Robinson and stemming from her travel series Nomad·ness
TV, is an urban, travel, online social community of over 9,000 members. The group has an edge as it
targets the diverse community of budget-friendly millennials. Let this travel group be the first on your
list as it was definitely ours. You can apply for the travel experience of a lifetime with others that
want to branch out but need not do so until you pop your passport cherry as it is required you have
at least one passport stamp. We recommend this travel group for those who are slightly seasoned in
traveling but want to join like-minded individuals.

TRAVEL NOIRE This travel group is a gem in a handful of jewels as their
social media outlets offer a breath of fresh air and new take on that getaway you’ve been plotting. Travel Noire is for the savvy black traveler. The
sugar on the rim of this travel group is that any trip is attainable whether
you’re used to globetrotting or simply saved enough funds to finally go on
a trip with friends. The extra bit of encouragement is given by their online
publication which explores African American travelers’ stories from far away
places which offers up a euphoric vibe while booking your next flight. Just
recently Travel Noire expanded their team due to their exponential growth
within the last year. So while you browse the positions available, make sure
you also take note of their next trek.
BUCKET LIST BEAST As if going hundreds or thousands of miles away
from your homeland was not thrilling enough - some people would like
to raise the bar even a tad higher by conquering their fear or pushing the
envelope. Extreme locations and adrenaline-rushing experiences such
as bungee jumping or even getting on a flight to a place agreed to be
unknown until your arrival are just a few instances shared on this travel
group’s online forum. If taking shots of cobra blood seem like the stuff of
dreams, then this travel group may just hit your sweet spot.

4. SOUL SOCIETY Virtual support takes the cake when travel groups go digital. Of course you may
oooh and ahh at the latest blog post or a close friend reciting all the places they visited during the
summer months from Caribana to Cuba. Soul Society is an online entity which has been promoting black
travel since 2012. You can scroll through their feed for some inspo on where to go next or even tag them
to show off photos of your own journey. There are plenty of places to escape to within the comfort of
your own home and a community to ask all those pushpin questions to for your upcoming excursion.

BLACK GIRL TRAVEL Calling all women who want to do more than take
a girls trip to Vegas, there is the travel group BlackGirlTravel.com . The
name pretty much speaks for itself but if you’re on the fence about the sisterhood, then book a tour and see for yourself why black girls have united
for the sake of travel. We even love their motto “Not Your Grandmother’s
Tours” which warrants a guaranteed time of fun on the fly. Their website
has proven to be quite resourceful if you’re looking for a travel buddy,
want to know the local customs, or just want to spread your Black Girl
Magic around the world.
There’s more to traveling than what meets the eye. The point is that you are a millennial
with the world, literally, at your fingertips. With these travel groups, you no longer have
to go global solo.
