Here’s the truth: Customs doesn’t care how far you’ve traveled to get there...

If you show up to someone’s country and your passport is questionable (has wear and tear, less than 6 months of validity, or no blank pages), you could be denied entry on the spot. 😬

Sis... Don’t let that happen to you.

Before your next adventure, take a few minutes to check your passport. Is it in good condition? Does it have empty pages? Is it valid for at least 6 more months?

Be Prepared! 🛂

Save this for your next pre-travel checklist, and share it with your travel tribe.

Let’s make sure we all get accustomed to customs!

This week’s episode of the Traveling Black Women Podcast is a vibe! ✨

I sat down with my cousins Simone L. Duncan and Dr. Jade Duncan to talk about everything from quitting jobs to release burnout, to taking guilt-free rest.

If you’re a Black woman who works in education, healthcare, or any service-based field, this one’s for you.

We laughed, we told our truth, and we reminded each other that ambition doesn’t have to come at the cost of our peace. 🤍✨

We booked a cooking class in Phuket, Thailand—and somehow didn’t burn the place down. 😂 (I did drop and break a glass though 😩)

Blue Elephant Cooking School is the top-rated class in the area, and now we know why. We toured a local market, got hands-on in the kitchen, and cooked (yes, cooked) a five-course Thai meal.

It was giving flavor, laughter, a little culinary confusion, and a LOT of full bellies.

If you’re planning a trip to Thailand and want something more immersive than a beach day, this is IT!!

If you’re looking for the best cooking class in Phuket, look no further than Blue Elephant Cooking School in Phuket Old Town. Voted the #1 cooking class in P...

BIPOC travelers spend billions. We shape trends. We decide what’s hot, what’s ethical, and what’s worth the trip. We’re not waiting for a seat at the table, we ARE the table.

But here’s the truth: if we don’t track our impact, they will erase it.
That’s what this survey is here to stop.

In 2020, & CODE created one of the largest BIPOC travel data sets ever and now it’s time to update it.

It takes just 10 minutes. If you took one leisure trip in 2024 and you are over 18, you qualify.

🎁 And just for completing it, you’ll be entered to win a FREE trip with (up to $2K value).

Survey Time: Approx. 15 minutes
