Welcome Back to AA Abroad!

 
SO--you're traveling abroad.  Congratulations!  You're about to experience life as an African-American abroad: an incomparable opportunity to explore the world and its cultures.  While you're prepared to have an excellent time,  you may also be wondering:

 
  • How you can expect to feel in the country you'll be visiting?
  • Have people there ever seen an African-American?
  • Are they progressive?
  • Will you blend in or stand out?
  • Where will you find barber shops, salons, and hair supplies?
  • If your stay is extended, what happens when your first two weeks as a tourist end and your life as an expat begins?

AA Abroad answers these questions before you travel!
