Solo But Never Alone: How Travel Divas Trips Create Lifelong Friendships

Solo travel can be daunting—especially when you’re venturing far from home. But for many ambitious, culturally curious Black women, it’s also an opportunity for growth, connection, and unforgettable memories. That’s exactly what happened when Meka Pinks Mingo booked her first Travel Divas journey to Ghana in 2022.

Originally planning to explore the Motherland with her mother, Meka faced a twist when her mom had to cancel. Suddenly, she was preparing to experience Ghana on her own. Rather than let fear stop her, she chose to embrace the moment with an open heart—and it changed her life.

On that trip, Meka met Michelle, another woman traveling with Travel Divas. What started as a friendly introduction quickly blossomed into a deep, lasting bond. They shared cultural excursions, emotional moments, and plenty of laughter while exploring the vibrant streets of Accra, visiting historical sites like Cape Coast Castle, and immersing themselves in the rich beauty of West Africa.

Two years later, that friendship is still going strong. In 2024, Michelle flew across the country—from California to Maryland—to attend Meka’s wedding. What started as a solo trip evolved into a soul-deep sisterhood.

This is the heart of what Travel Divas is all about. We curate sophisticated group travel experiences for Black women that go beyond sightseeing. These journeys are designed to nourish your spirit, build meaningful connections, and surround you with a community of women who just get it.

Whether you’re coming solo or with your best girlfriends, you’ll be welcomed into an empowering space where you can travel boldly and unapologetically. Our Africa Collection features transformative trips to Ghana, South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, and beyond—each one infused with culture, connection, and curated Black excellence.

So many of our Divas return not just with stunning photos and treasured souvenirs, but with lifelong friendships and a renewed sense of purpose.
