BlkTravel Goes West: Ron & Daph’s Elopement Journey
BlkTravel founder Ronald Curtis and his fiancée Daphney are heading west this October for a real-life destination elopement and Southwest road trip. Along the way, we’ll be experiencing Las Vegas, Zion and Page through the same lens we use to build BlkTravel: where to stay, what to do, what’s worth the money, and what Black travelers should know before they go.

Adventure
After 10 years together, we've decided to make it official with a Las Vegas elopement. And because this is BlkTravel, we're not just taking the journey, we're documenting it. From choosing where to say “I do” to where to stay, eat, celebrate, and explore, we'll share what we learn along the way, including the tips, tricks, costs, and experiences that can help other couples plan a Vegas elopement of their own.

Our Rankings & Reviews
BlkTravel is built around search. Our destination guides, rankings and reviews are intentionally structured to help travelers discover the places we experience long after a trip ends.
When we cover a hotel, restaurant, attraction or experience, that business becomes part of a growing network of searchable BlkTravel content connecting individual businesses with destinations, travel categories and future rankings.
The trip lasts a week. The content doesn't.

Meet Us Along the Way
We're coming either way.
Our rooms are booked, our route is set, and after 10 years together, we're finally getting married.
While we're there, we'd love to connect with the hotels, restaurants, attractions, wedding professionals, tour operators and local businesses that help make these destinations worth experiencing.
If our journey crosses paths with what you do, we'd love to hear from you. We're open to hosted experiences, collaborations, media opportunities and partnerships that make sense for both BlkTravel and our audience.
