Experiencing Black History Around the World
This episode is about the incredible experiences I've had connecting with the diaspora around the world. From museums of African American history, visiting villages of direct descendants of enslaved Afro Colombians, and exploring traditional religions like Santeria in Cuba, I've had the distinct pleasure of seeing how other Black people experience and share their experiences of Blackness around the world. Tap in.

My Favorite Podcast Isn't About Travel
I have been obsessed with the podcast Criminal over the last few weeks. This episode, I’m introducing you to some of my favorite episodes of theirs, that of course, I could loop back to travel. From convict leasing and details provided in tourist traps we visit, taxidermy and its relation to plane engine engineering, “skyjacking”, and escaping from Alcatraz, there were so many connections to travel I found in these fascinating episodes discussing criminality. Lock in.

Travel conversations don’t have to just be about the destination! On Travel N Sh!t, we enjoy discussing the experience. Every Thursday, dCarrie and the occasional guest have a nuanced conversation about the intersection of travel and basic life shit - because travel is more than vacation.
