HI, I’M SABRINA, YOUR TRAVEL PLANNING EXTRAORDINAIRE
After having to salvage my own trip within a disastrous group trip, I realized just what’s needed to have memorable experiences abroad.
Small groups. Well-balanced itineraries. A travel community of Black Women & Men.
I created Black and Traveled to inspire Black Men & Women to pursue their travel dreams without limits. The limitations of failed plans. The limits of canceled trips. And the fear of traveling alone.
WHY BLACK & TRAVELED?
Fun, freedom, flexibility
Forget the stress of planning an international vacation. It’s about going beyond the ordinary and ensuring you’ll have an unforgettable experience and a trip that meets your appetite for adventure.
Small group size
Traveling by yourself doesn’t mean you need to travel alone. Each trip is a small group of like-minded travelers with experiences tailor-made to ensure you have a journey you’ll enjoy.
Well-balanced itineraries
This is not you jet setting all over the place without a chance to enjoy yourself. Each day is planned for you to have the best experience possible and extraordinary moments you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
Flexible payment plans
We help you plan ahead so you can enjoy your vacation without worrying about what’s awaiting you at home. Our flexible and pocket-friendly payment plans will get you to Paris without the hassle.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Are a Visa and Passport required to travel to Thailand?
Visas are not required for visits less than 90 days. You must have a valid passport with at least 6 months’ validity remaining after our trip date of October 2028. Your passport should also have at least one blank page for your entry stamp.
I’m worried that I may be too old or too young to travel with your group.
When it comes to travel, your age will not affect your experience. We’ve comfortably planned trips for ladies between the ages of 30-55 and we’re sure you’ll find this trip just as exciting as our clients before you.
How does your payment plan work?
Firstly, our payment plans are not tied to any credit facility. That means you won’t be paying interest. When you return home, there won’t be a bill or balance waiting for you. What you see, is what you’ll pay.
Do I need to work with a travel agent for my trip to Thailand?
Not at all. But, if you want to avoid the hassle of trying to figure it out all on your own, then that’s where we come in. I’ve painstakingly planned an adventure for you and will be there if anything happens.
Can I add airfare?
Yes! About 6 months prior to departure you’ll receive an email asking if you’d like to include airfare. There will be an option to add round trip airfare from JFK within the email. If you need airfare from a different airport simply reply to the email and indicate your closest airport.
