Our First Tour for Couples
When we began this journey to empower African-American women through international travel, most of our crew were flying solo. We were catching flights while being open to catching feelings. For some, walks down airplane aisles to foreign lands lead to wedding aisles. For others, with their heart's airplane mode turned off, they were ready to receive the signal of love in familiar places back home..
In honor of all the requests and in celebration of love, we are beyond happy to announce our first couple's tour. Share your love for our unique travel experiences with the love of your life.

Bustling and full of life, Nairobi is the colorful capital of Kenya. From its vast national safari park to amazing museums, rich local cultures, shopping, vibrant open-air nightlife, and a progressive multicultural food scene, Nairobi will not disappoint.
Zanzibar, the semi-autonomous archipelago off the mainland coast of Tanzania, with its white sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking sunsets, sets the stage for romantic moments.
But it's not just the powdery sands and crystal-clear waters that make this place extraordinary; it's the rhythm of life that dances to the heartbeat of the Swahili culture. Today, it is known for its famous spice plantations, history (Stone Town being the capital), and diverse culture. Moonlight evenings center around the joy of eating and socializing, never too far from a relaxing sea breeze.
