Our listener caught the travel bug from influencers on Instagram, but she's afraid that she will have a different experience than them in the same beautiful, dazzling locations across the globe because she's Black. Her family members and friends have shared their tales of racism while traveling abroad—being mistaken for a sex worker in Italy or being treated like a zoo animal in China. Is it worth spending a bucket of money on a trip that will make her feel violated?

Our guest Kristen Martin is currently an Associate Community Editor at BuzzFeed and has been combining her love for writing and creating content while traveling the world. Through her openness and transparency, her goal is to inspire people of all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds to explore other cultures. Her TikTok and Instagram handles are @fatfashionandflights.

This is the viral TikTok that we reference in the show, where a woman in Japan jumps on Kristen. It currently has 26.1 million views.
