Black Women Who Travel Alone Are Revealing The Countries They’d Visit Again In A Heartbeat

“In Mexico, Mexico City: beautiful city, people, and culture. I had a broken knee and went there solo to recover and felt completely safe hobbling around lol. It’s wildly cheap, and you can always get a good meal from street food to fine dining (Lorea was awesome!) I speak a little Spanish, and it came in handy. Outside of touristy spots, nobody’s really trying to speak English, but it’s manageable.”

“There are also a lot of museums and sightseeing: the stadium of the 1968 Olympics (Black power, baby ✊🏾), Frida’s Casa Azul, her lover Leon Trotsky’s bungalow down the street, Diego Rivera murals sprinkled around town, and one of the largest Rodin collections at the Jumex — if you love art, this is your place! I stayed in an Airbnb complex made of shipping containers, paid $600 for seven weeks, and loved it!”
