Are you an Onyxbird? "What's that?", you ask. That's my term for people of african heritage (i.e., african, african-american, afro-caribbean, afro-latino, afro-european) who love to spread their wings and travel to unusual, unexpected and interesting places. The Onyxbird also thrives on cultural exploration and tends to be socially conscious. Unfortunately, Onyxbirds tend to fly solo or as a pair. Very rarely are "flocks" of Onyxbirds spotted in China or Argentina or Finland or New Zealand.

The purpose of this group is to form a Boston flock of Onyxbirds. We will share travel tales, photos, food, music, recommendations, horror stories and more from our travels. We might even schedule some "migrations"!!

Please note that this group is not meant to be exclusionary. It is simply meant as a way to encourage people from the african diaspora to travel together and experience destinations other than the usual ones (e.g., Caribbean islands, Cancun, USA, etc.). We will always welcome birds from other flocks into the nest with open wings.

 Great meet up group.

 Once again, I got interesting and very helpful info about travel deals and destinations and had so many laughs, I wondered if my drink were spiked with booze. ...

      “I don't travel nearly as much as I would like to! I went to an international school in east africa with kids from every corner of the world, I miss that citizen of the world mentality that is born of exposure to other parts of this planet.”
