Unfortunately, in some places, people are still a little scared of black people. While some people may be offended by that, others use to their advantage, like this follower.

Apparently, they treat black people a little better overseas than they do here in the United States. The locals take a serious interest in what we as a people like to do, which is a major travel turn on for some people.

And of course, being mistaken for a celebrity never gets old. It gets you a few perks, and everyone wants to take pictures with you.

Traveling while black also helps us prove people wrong. The stigma of black people not being able to afford things is present. Some of TN’s followers had to make sure they put flight attendants and other officials in their place.

Everyone experiences something different while traveling, but there is one thing black travelers all have in common: being cool.
