Nomadness Tribe Featured on Arise TV

Last week was a great fay for the Tribe has Evita and Tribe member Kelly P were guests on the Our Take show that aired live in South Africa and in London on Arise TV while streaming in the States online. I see this as the first of many TV engagements for the Tribe. It was a proud day. It's good to know all the behind the scenes work is paying off.

Tribe Tales of Sun, Fun, Film & Tears.....

The courtyard outside of compound

On day after Election Day I join Evita and 12 other members of the Nomadness Travel Tribe on one of our NomadnessX trips. The destination was Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. From very early on in the trip it was clear things would be very interesting. As boarding began for our Jet Blue flight official word hit that Obama had won the elections! Announcements were made on the plane and the celebration began. The initial crew of 4, the set up team hit D.R after 4am and reached our stronghold after 5am. Just in time to catch the sun raising over our open courtyard interior.

Our open interior courtyard

Once the whole team assembled we began an incredible week of site seeing, dining out, cooking, drinking, extreme activities, charity and all around pleasure. In the midst of this new friendships were born, unknown family ties were unearthed and respect was earned on many levels.

Due to a few last minute cancellations it ended being my homie Mac' & I as the only men on the trip. Sounds like paradise right? Well it would have many, many high points but for those that know me and know my protective side it was a bit stressful at points too. Eventually I had to say to myself that "hey you can't watch over everyone all the time."

Bridge to the 1st Waterfall

It's far too much to recap in words but I can say this trip was very well balanced. It had equal levels of wild out "What happens here stays here" fun, bonding and enjoying the Dominican city scene, beach life, serious adult conversation, charitable reflective work and an amazing surprise that was apparently in the works for quite a while. Yeah Evita and Crew "GOT ME"...they got me good.

Mac' getting ready for the Beisbol' game....lol

Not just was this trip good in itself but it put us in a position to do more going forward and as such I think that Santo Domingo will be seeing more of us. More Pix and Vids coming soon!

Hump Day Nomadness Style

This week's Hump Day is brought to you by the letter "D". Nooo, not that D but Dominican Republic!! Where ever you are I hope you make today a good one.

Preparing For It.....

By this time next yr I plan to have had my 1st experience with Japan. Folk close to me and those that have been there say I'll love it. There's no shortage of jokes as to the various people I'll be mistaken for and how to play up the "friendly stereotypical" encounters. I'm curious about this. I can imagine the fun to had when visiting for a short time. You know you will be home so there's a comfort.......but I do wonder about the folk that dont leave and how the "Black Imitation" subculture effects them. I came across this piece posted online and gives a view point that makes tons of sense to me and I could imagine being me. Just thinking out loud I guess check this small bit then visit the full post.

“Kokujin kakkoii!” is what I was often told whenever I asked what was behind the admiration of black people. Basically, I was cool, simply for being black. I admit it was a bit of an ego boost hearing it whispered behind me as I walked down the narrow yet crowded Takeshita –Dori in trendy Harajuku or while getting down on the dance floor till 5am in Shibuya. Sometimes people would come right up to me and say it. To which I would smile and say a simple thank you. 

But soon I started to feel like a celebrity without all the perks. People didn’t know me, yet they thought they knew what I was about. I got tired of conversations that started with ‘Where are you from? New York?’ ‘Are you a DJ? ‘ ‘What sports team do you play for?’ I’m from Canada, and I came here to teach English. Sorry to disappoint you.

A Sunday Night of Soul & Passion in Toronto

Do you want it?
And if you had it would you flaunt it?
Well its yours...

Bonus points if you know where I pulled that from.

Passion. Not the kind related to sex and romance (although that's cool too), but life's passions. The things you want to do. The achievements you want to have.

Looking Back on the Nomadness Travel Tribe 1st Anniversary Weekend

I'm a New Yorker. My heart pumps pure NY Blue and I've never apologized for it. The vast majority of things and people that I love are here. While dipping out for a vacation is always cool. I never lost sleep over the idea of "needing" to travel. As my business plans evolved they kind of pointed me in the direction of broader thinking and planning. This coincided with Evita Robinson's creation of the Nomadness Travel Tribe. This is a international community that works as backbone to much of the projects under Evie's Nomadness brand. She invited me in and early on I just stood back and watched. I took note of the world hoppers and respected their way of life but wasn't pressed to "be like them". If there's one thing about me due to a number of things I've been through is that I'm confident in who I am so it took some time but the want to branch out and travel got me too.

Not long into the existence of the Tribe Evita extended an offer to me to be a part of her inner circle, The High Council. Regardless of the fact that I may never have the most passport stamps in the world I'm always down to support Evita's work. From the point we've been laying down the foundation of what we have now.
Roughly a year later we're celebrating an anniversary. Proudly boasting 3300+ members worldwide, Nearly $13K raised independently via a 2 month kickstarter campaign, trips around the world, youth programs and so much more. To see dreams take form on the physical plane is an amazing thing. In spite of a number of set backs and lessons along the way this past weekend proved so much of what Evita has created is going exceedingly well, and all those late night convos, the questions and choices she'd bounce off me are moving in the proper direction.

iSupport: ¡Fly by CoCo Latina! is off to Russia

Crowdfunding

My homie Frankie is on her grind fund raising for her upcoming journey to Russia for new business and adventure. In February 2011, I started a journey to travel my way around the world. It has been a bittersweet yet life altering journey thus far. I was blessed to see the wonders of the world and wanted to express my experiences through my writing. So I created my blog, ¡Fly by CoCo Latina! Through my writing, pictures and videos I am able to bring you, the reader with me. Whether I am going through tribulations or recalling a hysterical moment from my journey, I am honored to know that I can share these very personal moments with you! I am so thankful for all of my fans and readers in supporting me emotionally and spiritually through this nomadic life that I am simply just trying to live my best at. Since then I have been trying to find a consistent way of traveling, and I have found my way!

The Next Big Thing...........
