About

Welcome!

I am Jewel, founder of TRVLBG, and have been lucky enough to traverse 50+ countries over 6 continents. Travel is transformative and I am grateful to have seen so much. Yet, before each and every trip, I found myself running through a list of anxiety-inducing questions:

-Am I safe to travel here with my partner?

-How does this country view Black people?

-How does this country treat women?

My intersecting identities were never adequately addressed in countless videos, forums, and travel guides I consumed over the decades.

Hence, TRVLBG.

TRVLBG is not a cure-all but we hope to bridge a necessary gap in the travel landscape. TRVLBG provides critical information that we hope makes travelling while Black and Gay the enjoyable life-changing experience it should be.
