  • Episode #014 (Season 2 Premier): Travel as a Coping Mechanism

    Welcome back, travelers, for season 2 of Catching Flights & Feelings. We're excited to bring you fresh perspectives on meaning travel and the Black travel experience.


    We love traveling, but we have to admit that sometimes we can use travel as a crutch or unhealthy coping mechanism. Maybe you can relate if you've booked a flight when you should've booked a therapy session instead. That's okay though. In this episode we discuss how to recognize if your travel habits are unhealthy and how to course correct.

  • Episode #013 & Season 1 Finale: Black People DO w/ Guest Jamal-Akil Marshall

    ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on Instagram to stay up to date on Season 2 of Catching Flights & Feelings.

    We've heard that Black people don't hike or camp and that those are white people sh*t. But those stereotypes are false and we believe in exploring as much of the world as possible, including the outdoors. Our guest, Jamal-Akil Marshall, is a true Black adventurer who doesn't let those stereotypes get in the way of how we chooses to experience new spaces and cultures. We discuss how to unlock new types of travel experiences, recognizing that Black people explore the world in a diverse set of ways and the possibilities are endless.
