Traveling to Canada soon? Well, Empower Magazine had the good fortune of visiting Canada for the first time as part of a group’s 42-year Reunion Tour.

I have traveled a lot and since I am at a young age, I tend to fly with any airline that is the cheapest. I am probably more willing than most to take a flight because it is cheap even if it has layovers, separate airports to get to, or doesn’t allow me to bring […]
What is it like being African American (Black) while traveling? To tell you the truth, I never really thought about it much until recently.

We decided to take a road trip from Missouri City, Texas (southwest Houston) to Reunion, Fla. near Orlando to celebrate our 36th wedding anniversary. While planning our cross country excursion to Reunion, we realized that it would probably be […]
Solo travel seems to be all the rage during the past few years. It is obviously a personal choice. I went on my first solo trip to Queenstown, New Zealand and it was the greatest trip of my life. I went over my 21st birthday, and I must be a little crazy in the head because who would […]

But, what about the Holy Land Experience? The Holy Land Experience (HLE) is a Theme Park in Orlando. Birthed in 2002, it is […]
