Solo in Algeria: UNESCO Roman Ruins and Constantine Cliffs
Visiting Timgad is an incredible experience, seeing the majesty of the Roman city in incredible detail all preserved. Constantine is an incredibly dramatic city, with bridges, formerly with the world's steepest drops, connecting different neighborhoods of what is often called the cultural capital of Eastern Algeria.

Solo in Algeria: Ghardaia's Saharan Streets
มุมมอง 1.6Kวันที่ผ่านมา
I had one day in Ghardaia, a beautiful oasis town in the South of Algeria. A majority Mozabite area with a different culture to Northern Algeria, probably the most preserved culture I have ever visited. Unfortunately, had to then proceed to Constantine quickly, cutting my time here short.
Solo in Algeria: The Public Van near the Moroccan Border, Oran-Tlemcen
มุมมอง 13K14 วันที่ผ่านมา
After departing the train to Oran, I share my impressions of this beautiful city. An incredibly vintage atmosphere, with beautiful mountains and French architecture caressing the center. I take a shared taxi to Tlemcen, which has a much more prominent Almoravid influence. Fascinating places.
Solo in Algeria (One of the World's Hardest Visas): Appreciating Algiers' Architecture
มุมมอง 28K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
First part in a ~7 part series of my travels across the Maghreb (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco). Algiers is a gorgeous city, European in architecture but worlds apart from Europe in finance, culture, and atmosphere. Citizens gather reading newspapers over $0.25 coffees in the morning amidst the haze in the distance. Even though I was here one day, hopefully you'll find as much to appreciate about t...

I do, dear viewer, get attacked by a monkey in this video. Drama! If you are here for a travel vlog and not a 3 second clip of me getting hit by a branch, this was my first solo trip ever. Relatively bold choice in retrospect. Stitched together clips from Colombo, Anuradhapura, Kandy, and Sigiriya.
Mexico City: 2000 Year Old Pyramids and UNAM University Life
มุมมอง 4702 หลายเดือนก่อน
Two different sides of CDMX. Teotihuacan contains some of the most architecturally significant pre-Columbian buildings in the world, and was inordinately more stunning in person than on picture (this video does not do it justice). UNAM is the most prestigious university in Mexico by many accounts, and I enjoyed walking around its campus and the swanky Coyoacán neighborhoods surrounding.

Spent a great 4th of July weekend on a pretty last-minute trip in CDMX. Some of the best food I've ever had alongside world-class parks and museums made it wonderful. This video covers Roma Norte, Polanco, Chapultepec, Doctores, and the Zocalo, with another video focused on Coyoacan and Teotihuacan upcoming.

    The government allowed you to film on Friday cause most shops are closed and there isn't much circulation. Other than that there is much to record But ruined buildings and destroyed sites similar to syria at least Syria went through a devastating local war and Algeria as an oil gaz rich country no comparison to the gulf countries . some of them less sources but much developed in all ways and meaning mentality. Hospitality infrastructure prosperity and individual revenues. Been there in Algeria seen it felt the difference

    Everyone knows the famous Hannibal, the Roman general and warrior who made Rome tremble. He rose up against the injustices of Rome, and he raised a large army to march on Rome. Well what very few people know is that Hannibal was Algerian. He was an Algerian Berber, born in Algeria into a Berber tribe. Fascinating. Unfortunately in all Hollywood films featuring Hannibal, this part of his true origins has always been erased. Other Algerian characters too. Algerians who influenced Roman civilization and who became great Roman Governors and even Emperors. Moreover, I have an anecdote, in the film Gladiators 1 and 2, Hollywood deleted from history the origin of these great Algerian characters who influenced Roman civilization.

    I love Constantine. Constantine is a truly special city. She is special. Its history is incredible, very rich historically, and its architecture of the Bridges is unique. A city built on cliffs and through rock. You have to explore the city by going underneath, visiting the caves and tunnels, going around to discover the dams and bridges outside. The tunnels cross the entire city. and some places believe in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, Maura's Bridge.

    Be great if you meet some locals and ask to try some home cooked food! Simply say you want to vlog some Algerian cuisine and people would be happy to help! Algerian food is tasty and has a huge variety of regional dishes, while the fast food is nothing special. My husband is from Constantine and they have some of the best savoury dishes like trida, tli tli, cous cous, mahajeb, chorba & bourek. While Algiers is more famous for sweets.
