When I travel someplace new, people at home ask me "Do they like Black people there?" Most of the time I have no problems at all being a solo Black woman in another country. But I absolutely feel welcome in these 6 countries.

Moving abroad is probably simpler and less expensive than you'd think. Join our EXODUS EXPAT WORKSHOPS to learn about getting residency in a foreign country [Mexico / Portugal / France / Costa Rica / Cayman Islands]. exodussummit.com/workshops

The fact we need to search up countries that we can feel safe in is sad
-
This reminds me of the Green Book that Black Americans consulted back in the day to travel safely throughout the US. And yet here we are... still needing a list. Thank you!!

1. Belize 1. Mexico (Business Opportunities) 4. South Africa (Durban) 5. Costa Rica 6. Philippines
-
I'm from México, and I'm truly happy to know that you felt welcomed and respected in my country! I hope that you continue to enjoy your visits :) I'm smiling.

“When I was 40 years old” I feel like I’m being trolled by nature, you look like your 25!!! Black really don’t crack
-
I'm really happy to hear that. A black woman was treated with respect and without incident outside of the United States.
-
I'm a black Caribbean / American man who travels for fun and intrigue. My sense of safety is in my head. The only place I've felt unwelcomed is in "the land of the free". 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
-
Thailand is absolutely phenomenal! Stayed there for two weeks and visited different locations. I never felt as it I didn’t belong, they’re genuinely kind and friendly people. Some may stare because they’ve never seen POC in the flesh lol
-
I laughed so hard at the end when you mentioned people yelling “Obama” and saying that was in 2015 and that’s over. Your face! 😂🤣😂
-
I love the concept of taking a "gap year" when you're grown! Older adults need a gap year to reset, recalibrate, and rejuvenate 😄❤.
-
LOL...1.5 years later, we also need a list of where we can feel comfortable in the US!

I've stayed in Mexico for almost a year but I've also travelled to many other countries. I tell you I've not found a people more friendly than the people of Mexico. I love the people, the food, the mountains, the culture, the weather, Art and art galleries and the zocalos. I love everything about Mexico. Travel there and you won't regret it.
-
This is the second time I’ve heard a good things about black women’s experience in Vietnam. Queen, you’ve got me thinking 🤔

Hi Stephanie, excellent vlog. I travel to Portugal three time a year. ‘I have also travel around the world’. But I must admit, Portugal 🇵🇹 is my second home. The people are absolutely brilliant and the food is out of this world. I speak a little Portuguese so people assume I’m from Portugal. I’m a black Londoner🇬🇧 Due to COVID-19, I wasn’t able to travel. However, if all goes well I’ll be back in the Algarve during the summer of 2021.

Portugal is my favorite place in the world! My husband is also Portuguese we lived in Porto for six months before moving to the United States. I lived in Ireland for ten years and my husband and I would travel to Portugal twice a year for two months at a time. It's the one place where I was not even aware of my ethnicity. Can't wait to move back! Beautiful country and beautiful people! Hope you are able to move there as well.
-
South Africa is really great. I enjoyed both Johannesburg and Capetown. When I went it was extremely cold... beautiful place
-
I am glad you had a good experience in Mexico. Please come back!
-
Watching this in the middle of COVID 19 and 1,000% inspired to plan a gap year as soon as safely possible . Thank you !

I went to Sweden a couple of years ago and it was great. The first person we met (customs) was a black man. There are black people in Sweden as well. We had Swedish people automatically speak Swedish to us because they assumed we were just from there. Most places outside of the U.S. are great!!!
