"Beyond the cheap flight deals and travel hacks you’ll get from me, I hope this inspires you to take risks, be bold and do what you love."- Victoria M. Walker⁣ ⁣ In this chapter, @vikkienotvicky talks about taking cross-country road trips with her family, and a volunteer opportunity through Howard University that incited her application for a passport, and further international travels. ⁣ ⁣ She shares how after graduating from Howard and working in journalism, she started to feel like she didn't have a place in the industry, and wasn't making the impact she wanted to make. ⁣ ⁣ Vikkie had stayed close to her Howard community and she found rejuvenation in her career through a teaching opportunity there. ⁣ ⁣ She talks about being a first generation flier, and how she was able to take her next step in her career through marrying her wanderlust and journalism as a Points, Miles, and Deals Reporter for The Points Guy.⁣ ⁣ Give it a listen, and if you dig what you hear, rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Podchaser, Castbox, or Podcast Addict 💜👑✈⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ #BWTPod #BlackWomenTravelPodcast

California Love

The song “California Love” inspired author and New York Times writer, Walter Thompson-Hernández, to create a show as prescient as it is personal. In his “California Love” series, Walter invites listeners to join him in his family home, on horseback through the streets of Compton, and up into the sky to examine belonging. Walter takes us deep into his own story as he explores what it means for him to love Los Angeles.
