East Side Gallery is a section of the Berlin Wall, which was turned into the longest open-air gallery in the world. It spans over 1km long, with over 100 works of art and can be seen as an international memorial for freedom.

This was way before I had started my travel blog and it was around that time that I decided to make this year my year of travelling, which I have since decided to extend indefinitely lol (too many countries and so little time).
Welcome to the first entry of the Black Girl Travel Diaries.
I’m starting this series of blog posts to share my experiences of travelling as a black woman. So it’s going to be all about race and gender and how I feel that affect my travels to different countries, both positively and negatively.
