About Tré Bacon

Founded in 2015, Rebranded 2025

Helping women of color slow down, heal, and explore the world through travel, ritual, and wellness.

Hi, I’m Tré Bacon — a travel and wellness content creator, storyteller, and solo Black female traveler behind The Journey of the Traveling Afro — a lifestyle platform centered on slow travel, intentional living, and modern wellness rituals.

I create travel and wellness experiences that help women reclaim their time, reconnect with themselves, and reimagine what it means to feel at home — in the world and within their own bodies.

A Little About Me

📚 Academic Creds
I hold a Bachelor’s in Fine Arts (with a minor in Communications) and a Master’s in International Business, specializing in Luxury Marketing and Sustainability.

🌍 Global Explorer
I’ve lived in dynamic cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Dubai, and traveled to over 40 countries — from the jungles of Bali to the coastlines of Portugal.

✈️ How It All Began
It started with a graduation trip to London — and an instant love affair with culture, color, and freedom. Since then, I’ve made it my mission to turn travel into a spiritual and wellness-centered journey.

My Mission

I believe travel is a form of healing — and that wellness should feel like you, not a performance. Through mindful content and soul-centered tools, I help women:

  • Reclaim their time through slow living and rituals

  • Reconnect with nature, self, and spirit

  • Explore the world and its purpose with clarity and confidence

  • Use travel as a tool for self work, not just sightseeing

Whether I’m guiding a voice-led meditation, recommending herbal remedies, or unpacking eco-luxury travel hacks, everything I share is rooted in care, intention, and freedom.

What You’ll Find at The Journey of the Traveling Afro

This isn’t just a blog — it’s a digital sanctuary for women of color navigating healing and global exploration. Here, you’ll discover:

  • Intentional solo travel tips & eco-lux destination guides

  • Voice-led meditations and rituals to reset anywhere

  • Natural remedies and herbal tools from My Herbal Rituals

  • Travel credit card hacks for smarter, stress-free planning

  • Travel & wellness vlogs that feel like a breath of fresh, global air

  • A community of women choosing softness, alignment, and joy

Why I Do This

Travel isn’t just about where we go — it’s about how it transforms us. Through this blog and brand, I aim to:

  • Inspire you to see travel as a sacred path to connection and growth

  • Help you embrace sustainable, stylish, and intentional living

  • Share my favorite rituals, cultures, and life lessons from the road

  • Support you in building a life rooted in joy, ritual, and authenticity

And when I’m not traveling, you’ll probably find me…

  • Meditating with a cup of herbal tea

  • Journaling about my next creative idea

  • Convincing myself my passport holder doesn’t need replacing (it has character)
