We at CheapOair are pretty big fans of Gloria Atanmo. Not only does she maintain her travel blog The Blog Abroad while jet-setting all around the world, but she’s also energetic, fun, and loves talking about the experiences of the female African-American traveler (something we definitely need more of!).

In celebrating African-American History Month this February, we’re glad to have Gloria talk about her top-5 favorite countries she’s visited over the years, and why she loves them so much, and why you should go check them out NOW!
