I think it's safe to say that we all binged so many Netflix shows + Youtube videos during COVID. I know during my time at home I was watching videos on travel 24/7 and I came across the YT channel Passport Heavy. Now that COVID has lifted significantly, people are traveling more than ever before--and Passport Heavy is the perfect intake of content to use to prepare for your next trip abroad!

Passport Heavy is a travel and lifestyle documentary channel that was founded by Jubril Agoro. For the past 7+ years, Agoro has been traveling all over the world while discovering the beauty and newness of each country. Solo-traveling ignited the love and passion of travel within himself and to be able to give back to his followers tips, tricks and guides for visiting all different places. That birthed Passport Heavy. I mean the name is enough within itself, lol.
The company is more than just an every day lifestyle brand-- PH tells visual stories and narratives of each country to help the audience better understand the culture and its people than what is displayed on news and media outlets. PH aims to share content that shows the true side of the country, its people and their ways of life to educate his followers, while showcasing different food spots, cost of living, hotels/stay-cations, local hot-spots, cultural festivals and the local people they encounter on their journey. The PH team consists of creators that range from photographers, film-makers, vloggers + more.

PH has documented places from: Ethiopia, Ghana, Rawanda, Nigeria, Bali, Bangkok, Panama, London, Ukraine, Dubai, Rio De Janeiro, Tulum, Maldives + the Americas. So what makes them unique than other media counterparts? They're narrative focused, have a key audience or "special niche" and they're community builders within the industry.

Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.”
Philippians 3:20-21 “But we are citizens of heaven, where the Lord Jesus Christ lives. And we are eagerly waiting for him to return as our Savior. 21 He will take our weak mortal bodies and change them into glorious bodies like his own, using the same power with which he will bring everything under his control.”
Psalm 139:13-15 “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.”

I love you! GOD BLESS YOU! :)
