KINFOLK TALK

  • "Wonderful experience with a wonderful group ! Briona was such a warm and welcoming host. This was my first travel group and I was quite nervous but I am so glad I took the risk and this was my first travel group experience. The activities were well thought out, from good tour to Afro Punk to the historical tour of beautiful Salvador, I truly enjoyed myself."

  • “I had an amazing time in Ghana thanks to Buoyant Travel. As a seasoned traveler, I usually stay away from organized group trips, but now I want to join more! The group was amazing. I loved being surrounded by dope Black women.”
