Liberia
City & Water.

DAY 01 · NOVEMBER 13 · ARRIVAL & WELCOME

The Beginning of Something New

Welcome to Liberia.

Our journey begins in Monrovia, a city where the Atlantic meets a rich and complex history, and where there's always something happening just around the corner.

We'll welcome everyone at the airport before heading to our accommodations to settle in, unpack, and get comfortable.

As evening arrives, we'll come together for our first shared dinner. Good food, new faces, a few introductions, and the beginning of what we hope will become lasting friendships.

No big agenda tonight. Just good company and the excitement of what's ahead.

DAY 02 · NOVEMBER 14 · CITY & CULTURE

First Impressions

Every country has its own rhythm. Today, we begin to discover Liberia's.

We'll start by getting to know the city and the people who call it home. With local guides leading the way, we'll explore Monrovia's neighborhoods, streets, and cultural spaces while learning about Liberia's unique history and its longstanding connection to the United States.

But there's more to a place than what you read in a history book.

We'll make time for the everyday moments, from conversations with locals to discovering neighborhood favorites and getting a feel for how the city moves.

Today isn't about seeing everything. It's about being present, asking questions, and allowing Liberia to introduce itself.

DAY 03 · NOVEMBER 15 · HISTORY & DISCOVERY

Stories Worth Knowing

To understand where a place is going, it helps to know where it's been.

Today, we'll explore more of Monrovia's history, visiting important landmarks, local markets, and cultural spaces that tell the story of Liberia's past and present.

Through conversations with local historians, artists, and community members, we'll hear perspectives that go beyond the usual travel experience.

There will be time to wander, discover local food, support neighborhood businesses, and take in the everyday life happening around us.

The more we learn, the more we begin to see Liberia through a different lens.

DAY 04 · NOVEMBER 16 · CREATIVITY & AFRICA AI DAY

The Next Generation of Ideas

There's something special about bringing people together who might never have crossed paths otherwise.

Today is about creativity, technology, and the exchange of ideas.

We'll connect with local entrepreneurs, creatives, and young people helping shape Liberia's future. Through conversations and shared experiences, we'll get a closer look at the talent, ambition, and imagination within the community.

We'll also host Africa AI Day, a hands-on learning experience introducing local students and creatives to emerging technology, artificial intelligence, and digital storytelling.

The goal isn't simply to teach. It's to exchange knowledge, learn from one another, and explore how these tools can open new doors.

Because sometimes all it takes is access, encouragement, and someone willing to share what they know.

DAY 05 · NOVEMBER 17 · SCHOOL & COMMUNITY EXPERIENCE

More Than a Visit

One of the most important parts of Journey Through Africa has always been creating opportunities for the next generation.

Today, we'll spend time with students and educators at a local partner school in Liberia.

We'll learn about their everyday experiences, hear their stories, and better understand the hopes and challenges of the community.

Through the Black Kids Travel Foundation, we also plan to support the school with educational materials and resources identified together with its leadership.

But this day is about more than what we bring.

It's about showing up, listening, sharing stories, and creating space for genuine connection.

We want the students to leave feeling seen, encouraged, and excited about what's possible. And we hope to leave having learned just as much from them.

DAY 06 · NOVEMBER 18 · AFRICA ACTIVATION

Move. Create. Connect.

Yesterday was about getting to know the students. Today, we get to spend a little more time together.

We'll return to the community for what we call an Africa Activation, a day centered on movement, creativity, confidence, and connection.

Together with local educators and community partners, we'll create a welcoming space for students to participate in group activities, games, creative workshops, and age-appropriate conversations about emotional well-being and the importance of looking after ourselves and one another.

There will be laughter, teamwork, new friendships, and hopefully a few moments that everyone remembers long after the day is over.

It's a chance to step away from our usual routines, connect across generations, and simply enjoy being together.

Because sometimes the most meaningful thing we can offer is our time and attention.

DAY 07 · NOVEMBER 19 · REST & PERSONAL EXPLORATION

Take It All In.

Not every day needs a plan.

After a full week of exploring, learning, and connecting, today belongs to you.

Sleep in. Take your time over breakfast. Find a quiet corner to upload all your content to social media. Spend the afternoon by the water, book a personal experience, or head out and discover something that caught your eye earlier in the week.

Maybe you want to explore more of Monrovia. Maybe you want to do absolutely nothing.

Both are perfectly fine.

Travel should leave room to breathe, and sometimes the best memories come from the days when you have nowhere in particular to be.

No scheduled group activities. Just a day to enjoy Liberia your way.

DAY 08 · NOVEMBER 20 · COASTAL EXPERIENCE

A Change of Pace

After days spent discovering the city and connecting with local communities, it's time for a change of scenery.

Today, we'll make our way toward Liberia's Atlantic coastline.

Think ocean air, sandy shores, open skies, and an afternoon that moves at a slower pace.

We'll enjoy time by the water, with a planned group activity for those who want to join, leaving plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

As the sun begins to set, we'll gather for another hosted dinner along the coast.

Good food, familiar faces, and the kind of conversations that only happen once everyone has had a little time to get to know each other.

Nothing complicated. Just a beautiful day by the ocean.

DAY 09 · NOVEMBER 21 · CULTURE & FAREWELL

One Last Night Together

Somewhere along the way, a group of travelers starts to feel like a community.

We've explored new places, shared meals, learned from local people, spent time with students, and created memories that belong to this particular group of people.

Tonight, we celebrate all of it.

We'll spend our final full day enjoying Liberia's food, music, and culture before coming together for a special farewell dinner.

And because it's our last night, we're making it one to remember.

Good music. Great company. A little dancing. Maybe a few speeches. Definitely a few laughs.

A proper celebration of the journey, the friendships, and everyone who helped make these ten days possible.

One last night. Let's make it count.

DAY 10 · NOVEMBER 22 · DEPARTURE

The Story Continues

Ten days ago, we arrived in Liberia, some of us as strangers.

Now, we're leaving with new friendships, a deeper understanding of the country, and stories we'll be telling for years.

We'll enjoy one final morning together before checkout, with airport transfers arranged around individual flight schedules.

While our time in Liberia comes to an end, the connections we've made don't have to.

Thank you to the people and communities who welcomed us, shared their stories, and allowed us to be part of their world, even for a little while.

Until next time, Liberia.

The world is ours. Let's keep exploring it together.
