Cocktails, Culture and the Nomad Life

Joc and Reese get into everything: navigating time zones while living that nomadic life, the cultural diversity they've experienced across the U.S., and their experience at the Black Travel Summit. They break down what it's been like leaving the Bay for Mexico City and dive deep into what responsible travel really means. They talk about documenting stories through photography, making sure their dollars go directly into local communities, why controlling their own narrative as Black travelers is everything, and how food and drink become their gateway to understanding culture on a deeper level. At the end of the day, this episode is about creating a platform where their stories, and yours, get told the right way.
