Hi, we're Buoyant!
Buoyant is a community built with Black travel, economics, and joy in mind. We host events and group trips and run a private members’ club. Made for Black travelers by Black travelers.
This is my 2nd Buoyant trip and it is definitely not my last. It was good mix of education about the culture/people of Salvador and nightlife fun. It sometimes can be hard to gather a group of strangers from different walks of life but when it’s a Buoyant trip it’s ALWAYS good vibes! shout out to Bri for being so down to earth, so welcoming, and helping folks across the diaspora connect with each other.
Salvador 2024 was my first Buoyant Travel experience and I am thoroughly impressed! Even before reaching Salvador de Bahia, BT was communicative, organized, and overall preparing me wonderfully for an incredible experience! From the carefully curated eats and drinks to activities to our lodging to our local guides and content creators and everything in-between, BT is the epitome of valuing creating precious memories — not just artificial aesthetics! My journey to Salvador was a bit troublesome due to the airlines that I booked with (NOT because of BT) but every step of the way even miles away, Briona ensured that I was looked after and still excited once I finally DID reach Salvador; she truly does care about her kinfolk — not their dollars. Her attentiveness and compassion really meant/mean a lot to me! I had a ball alongside incredible folk — none of whom I knew beforehand but am now looking forward to seeing around the world! I can’t wait to book with Buoyant Travel for another trip but now as an alumna ^.* BUOYANT BADDIEEE SIGNING OFF xoxo
I really enjoyed my time in Salvador , Brazil. Briana picked a great location and curated an amazing trip. The food and people we experienced were top tier. The help to navigate through the airport was so helpful. And she built in just enough free time for us to explore, shop, etc. I’ll definitely be recommending travel to Salvador and traveling with Bouyant.

I had an amazing time traveling to Ghana with Buoyant Travel. Each day brought a new experience (never a dull moment). This was my first trip to Africa and I wanted to not worry about planning a thing...traveling with Buoyant Travel did just that. All I had to do was bring myself! I met a wonderful group of women who love traveling and it was a pleasure getting to spend the new year with them. I highly recommend this travel group it was more than worth it <3
I traveled with Buoyant Travel group December 2019 and it was such a monumental trip. This trip changed my life. Ghana will forever remain special to me and I have already returned twice. Briona is not only an amazing woman but she is an incredible tour guide. In my opinion, the purpose of booking with a tour group is for convenience, meeting like minded people, reduced stress, an organized trip, and great memories. Briona checked all of these boxes and was super organized. I have quickly referred her to others and I plan to join her group in Brazil!
