The final week of the Busan International Film Festival has me thinking of my recent visit to South Korea. I love how you can enjoy the beach, mountains and city all in one place. I wish I could share the over 5k photos and videos I took there. 😂But here’s a 🤏🏾taste. #BlackSkyTravel #Travel

She’s the next darling of the travel world — the Amazon Statue in Benin. The 98-ft bronze beauty honors the Dahomey Amazons shown in the film The Woman King.

Be the first to sport this cultural icon on your comfy-chic wardrobe.

We will never forget the nearly 3,000 lives lost, the first responders who showed incredible bravery, and the families forever changed on September 11, 2001. May we always carry their memory in our hearts and continue to work toward a more peaceful and united world.

I once made a quick trip to Québec on Labor Day. Didn’t realize Canada celebrates it at the same time the US does. I had planned to go to a credit union to get cash and exchange money. They were closed. That was my first lesson to check for holidays before planning a trip. #BlackskyTravel
