Who We Are

Our Team

Our mission is to empower Black Americans to explore the world, together, through immersive group travel experiences that foster cultural connection, personal growth, and informed decision-making about international relocation. We curate journeys that not only celebrate shared heritage and interests but also provide firsthand insights into living abroad, enabling our travelers to envision and pursue new possibilities beyond U.S. borders.​
ExitUS envisions a future where Black Americans comfortably and confidently explore and embrace global opportunities, together. Through immersive group travel experiences, we aim to be the guiding bridge for those seeking to discover new horizons, connect with like-minded individuals, and consider international relocation as a pathway to personal and collective fulfillment.​
