3 Reasons Why Your Passport is Non-Negotiable for Travel Emergencies

Ring the alarm! Something just went down – and the only thing on your mind is getting out of your situation. As your resident Travel Diva Roxie, one of my mantras is “stay ready so you don’t have to get ready.”

When it comes to travel – there are so many ways to prepare yourself for emergencies, but what about when you’re at home?

Did you know your passport can be your ticket to safety? There’s a reason why a passport is such an important document and requires so much rigorous checking before it’s issued: it’s literally a freedom pass. And depending on what kind of emergency is happening, it’s also a way for you to get out of harm’s way.

Here are 3 scenarios where having a passport can ease your mind:

Natural Disasters

Whether you’re at home or you’re traveling internationally, the truth is the climate is changing and natural disasters are happening more and more frequently. You need to be prepared in the event the unexpected happens.

From volcanic eruptions to floods to tornadoes, having a passport will allow you ease of travel from your location to a safer destination.

Political Unrest

While the likelihood of political unrest changes depending on which country you’re in, the truth is it can happen anywhere. You want to make sure if something happens politically and unrest, turmoil, and riots break out, you can get yourself back home or to another country where you will be safe and sound. Without a passport, you might find it difficult to get out of said situation.

In other words, having a passport gives you options in emergency situations. Yes, it’s a ticket to freedom, exploration, and new cultures, but it’s also a ticket to safety.

When it comes to sprinkling your Black girl magic, there are so many ways your passport can help you do that. In fact, it can help with your career opportunities, too.

Diner en Blanc – But Make It Travel Divas

Travel Diva, have you heard of Diner en Blanc?

If not, let us tell you real quick. Diner en Blanc is an upscale, world-wide event where folks dress in their finest white outfits to dine out together in a public space. 

And no, it isn’t a glorified picnic. If the French name (meaning “dinner in white”) is any indication, Diner en Blanc is an exclusive, VIP-only event.

We’re talking only a select few are “privy” to the secret location of the dinner, and they find out the day of. Most of the time, folks must bring their own dining accoutrements such as tables, chairs and cloths, as well as their own food. 

While the best part could very well be that they’re often held at iconic locations, it’s the all-white elegance for us.

The event’s so popular it’s held on six continents in over 90 cities. And of course, we said to ourselves, let’s do that … but make it Travel Divas.
