We are an award-winning travel agency.

We recently won our first two  awards in 2024:

Our Founder's Travel expertise (having travelled to more than 46 countries) and serial ex-pat experience (having lived in 5 countries) have been featured by Essence & Travel Noire and many other media outlets.​​​

We love talking about:

  • Why safe solo travel is great for your mental health and your perspective on cultural difference

  • Why does being a Black ex-pat shift your mindset on national pride and how you can design a new life

  • Contact us to speak to your group or audience about why Black people and specifically Black women should solo travel to expand their minds, learn a new skill set and care about their mental health and how solo travel and relocation abroad changed my life for the better

  • Alternatively, schedule a Zoom call or book time on Calendly

​We are available for speaking engagements and interviews:

  • Guest panelist

  • Online workshops

  • Freelance travel writer

  • Podcast interviews

Christina was able to show me the right direction when I was looking for a trip to West Africa. She had the right connections and helped me build up a relevant agenda according to my ideal trip. She made sure I was safe and everything went according to plan in Ghana. I highly recommend Melanin Travels Magic for any trip-related enquiries!

Christina- Melanin Travels Magic- was fantastic, so glad I found her! I told Christina what I wanted to do and also asked for her advice. Christina put it all together effortlessly, with no hassle, and no stress, and then sent me my itinerary.   Everything ran smoothly and with a child in tow, that's exactly what I needed! 🌝 The guides that Christina organized for me were also very good and on time. Thank you, Christina, you took the hassle out of travel! I will review it and definitely will book with you again. I have also recommended you to others👌🏾☀️
