travel deeper, live slower, & live with intention

I’m Tré Bacon — the voice behind Journey of the Traveling Afro. My mission is simple: to inspire people to live and travel with intention through the lens of slow travel and slow living.

What I Bring to the Table

With a Master’s in International Business and years of living abroad in China, Dubai, and beyond, I bring a unique mix of global perspective, cultural depth, and business strategy. I’m not your cookie-cutter creator; I merge professional expertise with creative storytelling that feels human and authentic.

Why I Created This Space

The world doesn’t need more fast content; it needs stories with purpose. Here you’ll find mindful travel guides, wellness rituals, and artisan collaborations designed to help you step off the fast track and reconnect with what truly matters: culture, community, and your own inner rhythm.

Why Brands Partner With Me

I know how to bridge cultures, craft narratives, and build trust. My collaborations go beyond promotion; they create experiences and stories that resonate long after the campaign ends. If your brand values authenticity, depth, and impact, we’re already aligned.

The Bigger Picture

This isn’t just my journey — it’s an invitation.
To travel deeper. Live slower. Create with purpose.

Because slow isn’t about doing less, it’s about experiencing more.
