Interviews and conversations with Black travelers and ex-pats from around the world.

What is The Buddy Pass?

A podcast, magazine, and a vibe - a belief, that traveling and experiencing life abroad is not only possible, but a necessity for Black people.

From the entrepreneur to the artist, to the international student to the business owner to the teacher, I travel the world to learn their stories:

  • Why did they move abroad?

  • How did they create a life of joy in another country?

  • How are they making money to support themselves and their families?

  • What’s their dating and social life like?

  • How has travel evolved their idea of who they are?
