Traveling France as an interracial couple: Paris and Strasbourg
In this episode, we share our unforgettable journey as an interracial couple traveling through France, from the lively streets of Paris to the peaceful charm of Strasbourg. As an African American woman from the west side of Chicago and my partner Toby, who grew up in New York’s Hudson Valley and lived in France during his early years, we experienced the country through unique and personal lenses. Traveling as an interracial couple, we were struck by how comfortable we felt in rural France—an experience that differs from how we sometimes feel in rural parts of the U.S.
We also dive into the increasing rates of interracial marriages in America, especially among Latino and Asian communities, and reflect on what these changes mean for society today.
Join us for a heartfelt conversation about race, travel, and the cultural insights we gained along the way.
