Elshu Ye

Hey there! I’m so glad you made it here! Welcome :)

I am Elshu, a San Francisco-based black solo female traveler. Travel is my biggest passion, and one I don’t take for granted having grown up in Ethiopia.

Before becoming an avid traveler, I had a misconception that traveling is not for everyone. The lack of representation & role models to emulate for black/budget-friendly travel had made me think that travel was exclusive to certain demographic groups & those with cash to spare. 

I now believe that travel is an incredibly enriching experience that EVERYONE can enjoy. That is because (almost) all travel destinations can be budget-friendly, and black girls like myself travel too!

It is my goal to educate and empower you on how to travel confidently without worrying about safety and cost by sharing travel guides and tips on solo, black, female, and budget travel.
