Traveling While Black In Seattle - YouTube

Description: Hi everyone! Our names are Anthony and Marlie Love. We are originally from the St. Louis, MO area. We moved to Seattle in 2019. In the Midwest, we know there are some places that black people just don't go and shouldn't go. We didn't know where those places were in the Pacific Northwest (no matter how much we Googled). So, we decided to create a show to help people that feel the same way as us, and to ease any reservations about traveling. In a nutshell, we travel around the Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest, and let you know if we feel comfortable as black people visiting for the first time. We also help you out and tell you how the drive was and how much fun we had. Think of this channel as the "Green Book" of the Pacific Northwest. Thank you for stopping by our channel, and don't hesitate to subscribe!

AVENTURAS!!!

I started traveling in college back in 2011. The world can be huge and feel scary. When I travel I am alert and still have a great time! I read about places I want to travel too and try to learn some local customs and languages before going. Always respect the community you are going into! I travel on a budget. I enjoy trying new foods, sight seeing at local shops and scenery. Next destination: Japan and Alaska!
