Saying Goodbye

It’s never easy to say goodbye.  I’m so blessed to have parents who will travel across the world with me two days after a family vacation.  Thanks to them, I already know a little of how to get around my city and have a CLEAN and stocked apartment.  Parents are the best.  Although we were worn out, we had to have one last hurrah.  It is finally sinking in I won’t see my friends and family for a while.  I’m still excited for the journey, it’s just going to be an adjustment.  Can’t wait to meet all the other teachers!

Hey Y'all. I'm Briana Lennet. An applied anthropologist, expat, and international traveler. I help people explore the world as a local by sharing cultural and off-the-beaten-path experiences. I provide vicarious adventure for those unable to travel and work to inspire others to explore the world. I started this site because growing up I didn't know many people who look like me living abroad, learning foreign languages, and building cross-cultural relationships. Sharing the black expat experience, especially that of a solo female traveler shows that minorities also have passports and can live their best lives even if they are alone. Throughout this site, you will learn more about how different societies live, as well as gain travel tips and tricks for different countries. You will also get insight on the expat experience from my Day In The Life and reflection videos, which are helpful for anyone interested in moving abroad themselves.
