(January 13, 2019) The Minority Nomad, Erick Prince, Chats with Expat Edward S. Wanambwa (Mukholi Wanambwa), Senior Editor, African American Golfer’s Digest on Golf, International Travel, and Tips for Black Men Traveling the World.
Prince spent 10 years in the US military and then headed to college. Shortly afterward he decided to start a nonprofit foundation for low-income youth focusing on access to travel. As a professional travel journalist, he’s been traveling since 2001, so the road is not so less traveled by this ambitious, strong, confident man.
Focusing all of his effort on his passion for travel, Prince sold everything he could, scraped together his personal savings of around $19,000 and even took on a second job to raise enough money to fulfill his dream. To date, Prince has traveled far-and-wide to over 93 countries, and counting. His goal: “I currently travel on a mission to become the first African American to visit every country in the world.” With a strategic and successful marketing plan, now, all of his travels are funded by his innovative digital networks. Prince also serves as a consultant for several different publications, travel companies, and websites–thus, able to travel on a whim and work from anywhere in the world.
As a Black Man, Prince says his favorite countries include Romania, Thailand, South Africa, Colombia, Brazil and Sweden. And, he’s got plenty of reasons why–from great hospitality and kind people, to amazing landscapes, beautiful vistas, and water that tastes like rainbows!
