About Us

The Other Traveller was born out of the trepidation and anxiety that travellers of colour face when planning trips abroad. Whether solo or in groups, travellers of colour often have to think about how they might be perceived or received. “Is it racist there?” A common concern for most ‘Other’ Travellers.

After hours of searching the net, we discovered that there were no places on the internet to hear from and understand the experiences of other travellers of colour. Including on some of the most famous travel review sites.

And so, The Other Traveller was born.

We hope that you will find the content and experiences of other travellers helpful and inspiring. We hope that it helps travellers make informed decisions based on our users’ insights, tips and experiences.

We aim to reduce travel-anxiety and centre those of us often otherised by the travel industry. After all, there is so much of our world to see!
