    Seeing the World: Understanding Culture Through Travel Abroad with Brian McIntosh

    Travel isn’t just about crossing borders. It’s about expanding your worldview. In this episode, we sit down with Brian McIntosh, a Toronto-based travel content creator who’s explored 120 countries and built a platform that challenges the mental barriers keeping people from experiencing the world. From safety and affordability to language and belonging, Brian helps everyday people become confident explorers. Brian is a Toronto-based travel content creator who has explored 120 countries and built a thriving platform that challenges the mental barriers keeping people from experiencing the world. Since his first international journey, he’s addressed common fears—“It’s not safe,” “I can’t afford it,” “I don’t speak the language,” “People like me aren’t welcome”—with clarity and confidence. As a leading voice in the luxury Black travel community, Brian’s work has been featured in Travel + Leisure and Essence Magazine, where he’s celebrated for his cinematic aesthetic and empowering message. His authentic storytelling has led to collaborations with over 100 brands, including Google, Adidas, Panasonic, luxury hotels, and tourism boards worldwide. Brian calls himself a “Visual Architect,” blending an engineer’s precision with an artist’s eye. Through stunning photography and immersive content, he proves that safety is achievable, luxury is accessible, and cultural differences are bridges—not barriers. He believes the world is eager to welcome curious travelers who show up with respect and openness. More than showcasing destinations, Brian equips his audience with mindset shifts and practical tools—from travel insurance and packing tips to cultural sensitivity and travel hacking. His honest conversations about navigating unfamiliar places, overcoming language gaps, and traveling as a person of color help transform “someday” dreamers into confident explorers. His mission is clear: to remove the roadblocks that keep people from seeing the world, and to prove that extraordinary travel experiences aren’t reserved for a select few—they’re waiting for anyone bold enough to challenge their own limitations. We’ll talk about what it means to see the world through a cultural lens, how to travel smart, and why representation in travel matters. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or still dreaming of your first passport stamp, this episode will equip you with practical tips and fresh perspective to help you move from hesitation to exploration.
