About - Black Kids Travel

Black Kids Travel (BKT) intends to change the travel industry, through featuring melanin-rich individuals exploring the world, we aim to break stereotypes and change perceptions.

Join us and discover the world in a new way.

Exploration fuels our motivation to travel. We began traveling to change our surroundings and continue to do so because our best experiences happen when we're on the move. Traveling strikes the perfect balance between fear, curiosity, and impulsivity for us. It's the people we meet, the culture we immerse ourselves in, and the thrill of discovering new things that drives us to share our experiences with others.

We’re a group of like-minded individuals united by our melanin and passion for travel. Our paths crossed in Bali, where we discovered a shared vision of using our backgrounds in film and international travel to showcase the beauty and diversity of the world to our community. Together, we’re on a mission to inspire and empower others to step out of their comfort zones and explore the world.
