My experience with Embark Black was one of a kind, enlightening, and unforgettable. If you’ve ever wondered about the communities/cultures of black people in countries outside of the US, this is definitely for you. Katrina is passionate about connecting with these communities and provided a wonderful experience for myself while traveling to France and Portugal. I plan to continue using Embark Black for my travel plans and I recommend everyone to explore travel with Katrina at Embark Black.

My goal after retirement was to travel internationally, which I was struggling to organize on my own. Joining Katrina's small personable tours, I have since traveled to Cuba, France, Greece, and Portugal. Each trip was planned in detail and tailored to the group. I also appreciated Katrina's focus on the Black culture of each country -- including delicious food experiences! I look
forward to future trips and amazing adventures!

Forget pre-packaged tours - with Katrina every trip is an unforgettable adventure. Cuba's mojitos and salsa? Done! Exploring Mayan ruins in Mexico? Check! Experiencing South Africa's many diverse cultures? Double check! Strolling through Parisian culturally diverse neighborhoods? Absolutely!
But here's what truly sets Katrina apart: she connects you to the heart and soul of each destination. As an African-American myself, experiencing local Black communities and supporting Black businesses through her tours was incredible.

I can't thank Katrina enough for helping me travel and scratch off so many destinations that were on my bucket list. I have been to Paris, Greece, Cuba and Portugal with Katrina. It's never a dull moment!!! She asks before the trips the places and things we would like to see...it's always a great agenda that's very well planned out, along with free time to enjoy. All of the accommodations and restaurants have been great!!! I love how each trip I took with Katrina, I learned about the black culture of where I was visiting. Now that I'm retired, I'm looking forward to traveling with Embark Black as much as I can.

It has been an awesome pleasure and experience to have travelled internationally with Katrina. She is a consummate professional and attends to every detail of her tours. She insures that opportunities are provided to submerse her clients into the culture of the country with exposure to the Black experience through art, food, music and history. I have traveled to France, Italy, Switzerland and Canada with her. What an amazing experience to have had Christmas dinner while cruising on the Seine River in Paris and to have toured some of the most beautiful vineyards and wineries of Italy!

Embark Black is my top choice for transformational travel! Katrina meticulously crafted unforgettable international experiences in France and Iceland. She expanded my vision of what it means to journey and be fully immersed in the local culture, cuisine, and conversations while also connecting with global historical Black cultural contributions. Imagine carefully curated adventures to geothermal spas, breathtaking waterfalls, Icelandic glacier hikes, and snorkeling between volcanic canyons. Then picture bespoke vegan Christmas dinners in Paris, excursions to French Countryside châteaus, awe-inspiring city strolls, sunset views and quiet community corner cafe dinners, plus tailor made surprises that sparked pure joy. Katrina and Embark Black made this and so much more my reality!

As someone who has traveled to 24 countries, 29 US states and territories, and lived abroad for five years, I can undoubtedly say that my travels with Katrina and Embark Black have been the most transformational.
I realized for many of my previous travels I had been in tourist mode and oftentimes left a location desiring more because I hadn’t maximized my time, planned properly upfront, or truly experienced the local atmospheres. However, once I encountered Katrina and Embark Black, I officially crossed over from tourist mode to traveler/adventurer.
My experiences through Embark Black allowed me to immerse myself in the culture of the destinations. The excursions, activities, and surprise elements customized by Katrina made me feel like a local! With Embark Black, I traveled to France multiple times, the Netherlands, Austria, and Iceland. Each adventure was meticulously planned. From the small group travels to bespoke trips with tailor made surprises, Katrina elevated the ways I now experience travel.
I felt safe and secure with Katrina as my guide, and she adds in heartfelt special elements of Black history and supporting the local Black owned businesses. I’ve learned more than I ever knew about the global contributions of my Black community. Even with detailed itineraries, there is time for moments of spontaneity, time to rest, reflect, and connect with others while also maximizing the time at each destination. I don’t know how she does it, but she is a genius at curating unforgettable experiences!
Whether it’s running my first international half marathon in Paris, strolling the streets of Paris during sunsets learning about the country’s Black history, sitting at a corner café and lingering over a deliciously prepared meal, fresh pastry or delicious tea to spending Christmas holiday in the French countryside, staying in one of the oldest villas in Paris, and having the best vegan Christmas dinner I’ve ever had, to traveling through countries confidently via train, Katrina made it all phenomenal! Enjoying hot springs, volcanic spas, hiking glaciers, and exploring the vast beauty in Iceland, snorkeling in crystal clear waters between two tectonic plates, and searching for the Northern Lights, Embark Black made it all happen for me, plus so much more!
