I own a group travel company for Black travelers. We partnered with Carina and the Afrotrip team to help bring our Salvador group trip experience to life, and it was incredible and invaluable. From the beginning, Carina was a thoughtful, personable, organized, strategic, and knowledgeable partner in building this experience. Our trip wouldn't have been successful without her, and I look forward to continuing to work with her! As a bonus, some of my group and I decided to stick around after the official trip ended and head to Rio, where Afrotrip took care of us from start to finish again, organizing airport transfers, tours, and local experiences. Thank you so much!
