The best benefit of traveling with a group is the opportunity to make new friends along the journey. When traveling alone, it can be intimidating to walk up to a stranger and start a conversation. Oftentimes it requires extra effort and signing up for group activities to get to know people and eventually exchange contact information. With Black Girls Travel Too, all that extra effort is taken care of. For the inexperienced adventurer, this can relieve some of the anxiety of planning a trip. Especially when young unpractised travelers are so far from home, every bit of planning can be overwhelming. From booking accommodations to exchanging money, bargaining for taxi prices, and planning day outings, it can no longer feel like a relaxing getaway. When young women book a trip with BGTT, each day is planned to the tee, from the day of arrival to the day of departure. The only part of the trip that needs to be booked is the international flight.
