ARE BLACK TRAVELERS SAFE DURING GLOBAL WARS?
Hey Travel fam,
Two new videos just dropped on YouTube, and they couldn't be more different—but they're both important.

CULTURE - Flavors of Travel Episode 3
ARE BLACK TRAVELERS SAFE DURING GLOBAL WARS?
On a lighter note, Episode 3 of Flavors of Travel is now live! We visited African Village restaurant here in San Antonio to explore Ethiopian cuisine—injera, doro wat, the traditional coffee ceremony, and why Ethiopian food is one of the most underrated cuisines in the world.
This episode is pure joy. Good food. Good people. Good culture.
Watch it above!
Both videos are live on YouTube right now. If you haven't subscribed to our channel yet, this is your reminder. We're building the BET of Travel, and you don't want to miss what's coming next.
