Never Google "is it safe for us?" again. 291 destinations rated by Black travelers, group trip planning, and Nova — an AI that knows the culture. Free.
ROAM is the travel app built specifically for Black travelers and the diaspora — because the best travel advice comes from people who actually get it.
Every destination in ROAM is curated through a Black traveler lens. That means honest safety ratings written for us, not around us. Black-owned restaurants, bars, and cultural spots. Neighborhood breakdowns with real context. Budget guides. Visa info. The kind of insider knowledge you'd get from a well-traveled friend in your community.
DISCOVER DESTINATIONS MADE FOR US
Browse 111 cities across the US, Africa, the Caribbean, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Each destination includes a Black traveler safety rating, neighborhood guides, must-visit spots (with Black-owned labels), budget tiers, and cultural tags. No sanitized tourist copy — just honest, useful guidance.
PLAN WITH NOVA, YOUR AI TRAVEL COMPANION
Nova is ROAM's built-in AI assistant who understands the specific context of traveling while Black. Ask her anything — safety questions, cultural tips, where to find the diaspora, what to expect. Generate a full day-by-day itinerary for any destination in seconds, with Black-owned dining, cultural landmarks, and real insider recommendations baked in.
ORGANIZE GROUP TRIPS
ROAM's Trips feature is built for how Black people actually travel — together. Create a trip, invite your crew, build an AI itinerary, track group expenses, vote on activities, and discover public trips from other travelers you can request to join.
FIND YOUR TRAVEL CREW
Connect with other Black travelers who share your travel style and dream destinations. See your match percentage, their upcoming trips, and the bucket list destinations you have in common. ROAM is building the largest Black travel community in the world.
SELL TICKETS TO YOUR EVENTS
Hosts can create and sell tickets to cultural tours, retreats, group trips, food experiences, and more — directly in the app. Attendees browse a curated events feed, buy tickets, and get a premium digital ticket with everything they need.
ROAM is where Black travelers plan, connect, and move — together.

You can chat with people from your city or potential places you're going to go to that people have already been to. You can jump in that chat, scope out the scene, see what the location is like, and get put on to places that you wouldn't even think about visiting. That's dope.On top of that, you have Nova. All you have to do is tell Nova the location, and then it almost plans the whole trip for you. I think that is great because the first thing I do when I go to a new city is say, "Hey, where the Black-owned spots at?" All I have to do now is just, before I even get there, ask Nova, "Hey, I'm going to Toronto. Let me know where all the spots I need to hit up are." She's going to give it to me, and then I can jump in the Toronto chat, find out who's there, and this is beautiful. I love this app.
Finally, a cool social travel app

Traveling with your circle is all about trust. One thing I really appreciate about this app is the fact that you can find your people on here and build that circle of trust. Plan together, explore together, and the whole world is your limit. I'm going to be sharing this with my posse so that we can all be ready for homecoming season.
Much needed!

This app is very much needed to keep us in touch with area of the world where we’re socially accepted as a race rather than just wanting our money. Cabo is safe to travel to and the neighboring town San Jose del Cabo will remind you of Buckhead (Atlanta, GA) back in the day. They have so much nightlife and so many of us here, it’s ridiculous.
Finally something for us

This app is useful. I feel seen and Nova knows our culture! Feeling safe while traveling is now something I don’t have to worry about or spend countless hours doing research on
ROAM has a new name — same mission: the travel hub built for us.
