Culture Travels fam—

Everywhere we go, we carry our culture with us. Last week, we took it to Slovenia. Check out what happened when we stood in t a public square and asked Slovenians what they thought of Black people and Black culture.

Let’s dive in.

COMPANY UPDATE

This week we took the mic to the streets of Slovenia to ask locals—and other Europeans—what they really think about Black Americans and our culture. The answers? Everything from insightful to cringeworthy to downright hilarious.

Each country we visit, we’ll be asking these same questions, documenting how the world sees us and how we reclaim that narrative.

Travel Tip of the Week

When visiting smaller European countries like Slovenia, learn a few words in the local language—hello (živjo), thank you (hvala), and please (prosim). It goes a long way in breaking down barriers and sets the tone for meaningful connections.

🛂 SHARE THE LOVE, BUILD THE COMMUNITY

At Culture Travels, we’re building a movement—stories, guides, and experiences that put Black travelers at the center. If this newsletter gave you something to think about, share it with a friend or your travel crew. Let’s grow this community together.

Onward, always.
