BEAUTIFUL ESCAPADES
TRAVEL THAT FEEDS THE SOUL
What if your next vacation helped you discover your authentic self? At Beautiful Escapades, we start with the radical notion that travel is meant to be life altering, then we reverse engineer an itinerary and guest list that will facilitate just that. Each trip is hosted in an African or African Diaspora nation and curated with unique experiences which challenge our limitations, broaden our perspectives, foster deep connections, strengthen our identity, and provide personal insight/clarity/direction.
You might be thinking, "Is this one of those zen retreats?" Not at all! The thing that makes a Beautiful Escapade unique is how we pair exhilarating activities/cultural experiences with meaningful conversations that both our guests and local guides participate in (voluntarily). So whether you're on a catamaran dancing the afternoon away, learning to whip up a traditional meal, sunbathing on a white-sand beach, or zip-lining across lush terrain, we encourage dialogue around our Beautiful Escapade tenants: courage, affirmation, hope, liberation, black identity, and connection.
​
And just like that, in an environment that supports vulnerability and encourages openness, you'll be amazed how a 5 to 10-day vacation can literally change your life.
