About this trip

Join the journey to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil we have unique experiences to immerse yourself in the culture and community. 


In Salvador, more than anywhere else in the country, the African influence in the Brazilian culture is readily visible in the religious festivals and ceremonies; the spicy dishes with African names and the Capoeira School, where unique African style of ritualistic fighting is taught.

On my first trip to Ghana in 1999, I co-organized a Rites of Passage research study tour. Through this experience, I founded a non-profit organization and have since created Nomadic Noni a travel resource that navigates you through the African Diaspora to discover the cultural connections through educational and travel experiences.

Had a great time. Lodging was in a great neighborhood. Food cooking experience was the highlight of the trip for me. The education from the tour guide on Brazil was awesome.

It was by far the best trip I have taken in many years. It was well organized and curated specifically with our group in mind. Theresa was attentive and personable. I got exactly what I wanted from this trip, which I have want to take for 30 years. This experience far exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Theresa for making this a truly memorable experience.

I had a good experience. It was a small friendly group, the experience was highly educational. I enjoyed Bahia and would jump at the chance to travel with "Nomadic Nani" in the future.
