In this episode, Sophia sits down with Wanda Duncan who has been traveling for about 6 years and working as a digital nomad. She is the founder of the Facebook group Black Women Digital Nomad Entrepreneurs, the host of the Black Women Travel podcast, lead for the International Black Women Travel Jubilee event. Wanda has also just started The Black Woman Travel Mastermind. She is working to help other black women to do what she has done, to empower themselves and grow through travel and/or entrepreneurship.
Wanda talks about what inspired her to travel and how the freedom to explore, be her true self and grow led to her becoming a full-time globe trotter. She explains how she has been able to fund her extensive travel. Wanda covers house sitting, manufactured spending, renting instead of paying hotel rates, practical day to day tips and explains what Black Women Trvl is all about.
