Anthony’s 100th Country: A Journey of Legacy, Love, and Landings
Hi, I’m Anthony Antoine.
You might recognize me from my personal concert footage, or perhaps you've seen clips from my adventures as a passenger on Royal Caribbean’s Ultimate World Cruise, which went viral on TikTok with millions of views. I'm also a performance poet, independent recording artist, activist, and Black LGBTQ+ travel storyteller. Turning journeys into healing, advocacy into connection, and grief into purpose.
I never imagined that this boy from Newark would travel the globe. But this December, I’m setting out on my most meaningful journey yet: visiting my 100th country. A dream I’ve dared to dream, now coming true.
This journey isn’t just about travel. It’s about love, loss, resilience, and rebirth.
In 2018, I lost my beloved husband, Michael, to cancer. Before he passed, he left me with one request: “Lean on family. Travel the world. Let that be your healing."
Since then, I’ve journeyed to:
- 99 countries
- All 50 U.S. states
- All 8 wonders of the world
- 30 Georgia parks
This wasn’t just travel. It became my therapy.
My survival tour.
My way of turning grief into motion.
Why I Need Your Help
This December, I will visit my 100th country. That country is Nigeria and it’s not random.
I carry Nigerian ancestry. I’ve lived with a Nigerian family in London. I’m a Black LGBTQ+ man seeking reconnection, joy, and full-circle healing. This milestone is not just about a passport stamp. It’s a spiritual return.

- Planting a seed for your own healing & adventure
- Supporting Black LGBTQ+ visibility in global travel
- Saying “yes” to joy, after grief
I’ve poured into many. This time, I humbly ask you to pour a little into me. I invite you to be part of the final chapter in this leg of the journey. Every donation, big or small, helps.
