This Wine Down Wednesday was everything wine, travel and inclusivity aka our three favorite things.
Co-Founder of Vinstinc, Chelsea Stephens, taught us a few thing about wine that would wow our friends and impress wine snobs, breaking down the barriers of the wine scene and allowing for more accessibility for people that look like us.
Sometimes having a seat at the table means creating your own table and bringing your own chair. Chelsea showed us how anybody can get into wine with freedom in the wine experience, from creating your own wine brand without the vineyard to pairing wine with foods seemingly “unconventional”
This segment was as rich and complex as the wines discussed. So press play and dig in!
We’ve crushed on solo explorers, business wanderers, and daring backpackers. Black travelers see the world in many ways. This is why we couldn’t help but crush on a boy mom showing her son the world on all sorts of adventures. Meet our latest travel crush, Caritza!
The pandemic has effected a lot of things, a major one being our virtual presence. Please tell us we aren't the only ones who refer to people by their Instagram handles now? In surviving a tornado warning together, we found our dear friend @thesoplife who we got to know as Nadeen this Wine Down. Tune in to get insight into this travel bloggers, skii trips, wine tours, and local travels.
Occasionally, you come across a magnetic soul that can breathe life into you. Emmy Milan is that person, and she’s also this week’s Travel Crush. Through traveling, Emmy has found her voice, her passion, and purpose; reminding us that travel is not just picturesque locations and delicious cuisines, it is also life transforming. We hope her story is as inspirational to you, as it is to us.
Wine Down Wednesday is back and we kicked it off with a bang! To end our hiatus, we were joined by the king of “treat yourself” himself, Christopher Bland. He shared with us his tips and tricks on how he makes his travels, from take off to destination, a luxurious experience.
Chris claims to be long winded and long packed, and with a minimum of three bags per flight, he might be right about one of those things. There was a lot to unpack on this WDW. Don’t miss it. Hit play!
Sometimes our travel lists are just longer and bigger than our pockets, but does this mean that we just don’t go? Ummmmmm, we think not! And Ariel Rose, our Travel Crush Tuesday, doesn’t think so either. No stranger to traveling frequently and affordably, this jetsetter is here to show us how she travels to a new destination every month on a budget. Pack those bags and let’s go!
Two and a half months off during the summers to explore the world? Yeah, we are jelly. But the builders of our young minds deserve nothing less. Meet Kimberlee, our Travel Crush Tuesday, a teacher and globetrotter, inspiring her students to see the world.
Hailing from the UK, meet Jess, a cultured enthusiast who has been gallivanting around Africa, Europe, Asia, North and Latin America, as well as the Caribbean. While she loves visiting different countries, our Travel Crush is no stranger to exploring her own backyard. She encourages us to see beauty and culture everywhere.
Who says you have to quit your job to travel the world? Who says you can’t have both? Certainly, not this Tuesday’s Travel Crush. Meet Dr. Ghislaine Lewis, who shows us that we can be career women and live our travel dreams. This unstoppable woman is the pinnacle of having it all.
Bold. Adventurous. Fearless. Those are the words that comes to mind when we think about this week’s Travel Crush. Meet Axelle! When others expressed apprehension about backpacking around the world, this hodophile packed her bags and did it anyways. Now she is learning new languages and managing her own vacation rentals to make her dreams come true. We think you’re going to crush on her as hard as we are.
At BlackTravelBox, we celebrate Black travelers worldwide. Black travelers who inspire us to think outside the box in our careers, businesses, travel, and care. We revel in the vision, beauty, and creativity that keeps our light moving. Thus, when we came across this wanderlust scientist, it’s no surprise we developed a crush. Meet Bri aka, “Bri from the IE,” and let her take you on a trip to her world.
We pride ourselves on shining a light on real people; on people that inspire and lift up their community. It is for this reason we couldn't be happier than to introduce you to our latest Travel Crush, Erica. She is as real as it gets. Get to know the traveler overcoming chronic illness while living her best life and inspiring us all to do the same!
