Why does being a Black ex-pat shift your mindset on national pride and how you can design a new life

Solo trip to Ghana
Travel planner service and 10 day package
Christina was able to show me the right direction when I was looking for a trip to West Africa. She had the right connections and helped me build up a relevant agenda according to my ideal trip. She made sure I was safe and everything went according to plan in Ghana. I highly recommend Melanin Travels Magic for any trip-related enquiries!

Christina- Melanin Travels Magic- was fantastic, so glad I found her! I told Christina what I wanted to do and also asked for her advice. Christina put it all together effortlessly, with no hassle, and no stress, and then sent me my itinerary. Everything ran smoothly and with a child in tow, that's exactly what I needed! 🌝 The guides that Christina organized for me were also very good and on time. Thank you, Christina, you took the hassle out of travel! I will review it and definitely will book with you again. I have also recommended you to others👌🏾☀️
