Black Travel Groups To Follow On Instagram
There is nothing like a community and Instagram is the place of many communities. A community, makes you feel a sense of belonging as you see people who look like you doing things that you would like to do. As such, you feel better about asking questions and sharing your thoughts. Black travel groups provide this sense of community.
In keeping with our Alliance pillar, we scoured Instagram and found 24 Instagram accounts you should follow for a sense of community and travel inspirations. Guess who is number 25?

We Work To Travel – ▪️We are like a Black “Tripadvisor”. 📗 Modern Day Green Book. 5000+ Tips by Black Travelers
WeWorkToTravel/GreenBookGlobal, is a travel platform that was created after the founder quit their job to travel to over 30 countries and all 7 continents. I realized as I was planning for each destination it took an absorbent amount of time to plan for each city. Even with massive travel sites already in play (you know the ones), it still takes an average of 10-20 hours to plan a trip. Well, why is that? I think it is for 3 main reasons:
- Travel content is not broken out by travel style
- Travel content is fragmented across multiple sites or even within a single site
- Once you find good travel content, you still need to vet the user(s)
WeWorkToTravel/GreenBookGlobal, tries to help ease the burden of these travel paint points with our unique offering. They provide comprehensive city guides by travel style and couple that with a custom rating tool where instead of rating an activity you rate your overall experience of a city. In other words, we give you a ton of travel content with a consistent structure and then enhance it with tips and experiences from travelers. They even have a proprietary search algorithm to help you find destinations that meet your criteria.
