Hello, world!
My name is Keith Brooks, and I’m a queer, Black traveler, writer and communications consultant currently living in Lisbon, Portugal. I created Keith Meets World to document my adventures abroad, and where travel intersects with my lived experiences and identities.
If you’ve come here by chance, welcome! After visiting 76 countries, countless cities and crossing six continents, I wanted to share my love of travel, expertise and learnings to make travel fun and accessible for everyone, especially those from underrepresented communities.
I’ve written for Fodor’s Travel and have been featured by a number of travel blogs. If you’d like to work together or have ideas, feel free to send them my way. In the meantime, I invite you to learn more about my adventures by clicking the Latest Posts below, or discovering my top tips from some of the destinations I’ve visited in the City Guides section. Be sure to also follow my real-time adventures on Instagram, TikTok and my YouTube channel.
Happy travels!
Keith
