Stories of place, people, and progress across Africa and the diaspora.

what is AdaTravels?

AdaTravels is the field storytelling platform of Coffee With Ada, documenting how policy, culture, and development intersect in real places and real lives.

This is not tourism content.
It is context-driven storytelling.

AdaTravels explores Africa and the African diaspora through:

  • Development journeys
  • Cultural histories
  • Everyday economies
  • Infrastructure, food systems, and mobility
  • Women, communities, and local leadership

Each story is rooted in place, shaped by listening, and framed by context.

Why AdaTravels Exists

Policy debates often happen far from the people and places they affect.

AdaTravels brings:

  • Grounded insight
  • Human perspective
  • Visual and narrative depth

It complements Coffee With Ada’s conversations by showing how ideas play out on the ground.

What You’ll Find Here 

  • Short-form travel and development essays
  • Photo stories and visual journals
  • Train journeys, markets, campuses, and communities
  • Cultural reflections tied to policy and history
  • Behind-the-scenes reporting from across Africa and the diaspora
