Calling someone dumb for not speaking English in their own country that’s over 40 years old is very rude.
Could I have worded my sentence better? Yes I could have. However, my point of view is a waiter working in a touristy restaurant who doesn't speak a word of English will be frustrating for any tourist/foreigner.
Could not agree more @masabalandzic1790 ... this is the first of @fivefootnomad video and it will be my last, what an ignorant and self entitled comment, go back to your own country and stay there.
Lol how do you move to someone else's home country & get upset they don't speak a language that's foreign to them🤣. That's like a person from France moving to the US complaining we don't speak french.French. I get English is a common language but they're required to learn it for us we should learn their language if we're going to live in their home.
Yeah I agree on this one but I guess it is still a downside if your learning as it’ll take a while to learn the language and I guess you need to survive in the middle lol. If I moved to a country with a foreign language I would definitely try and integrate and learn the language but I guess realistically it won’t be over night and I know if I go to some countries I’ll have a much easier integration because there are at least a lot of people that can speak my language enough to understand what I want.
So yes it can be a plus if you can get by in your native tongue but it definitely shouldn’t be expected of any country to adapt .
My point of view; a waiter who is working in a touristy restaurant and doesn't speak a word of English, will be frustrating for any tourist/foreigner. Could I have worded my sentence better? Yes I agree.
@@fivefootnomadBruda, that waiter doesn't exist
@@jrr146lol we Africans love European languages.
So you come to my home and insult us yes me and most young people speak english so older people 40 plus dont speak it well and all your reasons are kinda valid but still come on.
I'm American and I agree with you
My intention is not to insult anyone. I love living here and the people are very nice to me. I'm just stating my opinion based on my experience to help people be aware of it. If it comes off as rude, I apologize.
Clown, imagine if someone said Same thing about your country
@@fivefootnomad You did it and that was a dumb move
I don’t care about some people not speaking English (I love the older waiters) and the cakes thing isn’t a thing. Definitely agree about the drivers though it has gotten better. What you missed though are:
1. Smoking indoors
2. Trash in nature
3. Bad parking
Omg yessss you’re so right, thanks for the tips on the things I missed. I think the smoking indoors it the one that annoys me so much. Thank you 🙏🏾
😂😂no way you are serious.. you clearly should move to usa with that mindset.
God forbid!
@fivefootnomad Buckalo, I live in Montenegro, I seen only 1 black person in my life in this country
Literally we have such good cakes and sweets, it’s so much better than sponge cake that you are talking about… I had a black friend and everyone in my country was always super nice to her and wanted to make her feel at home
Actually after I made this video I tried some cakes and I must say there are some very good cream cakes, I guess it just takes some getting used to after all. Yes everyone is super nice to me as well.
How do I fill an online form montenegro online form can you help me
The point is when you move to another country you should try to blend in and not try to change it.
Nice video👍🏾
Is there any African food vendor or African food store in Montenegro?
She literally said no to this!
@@mabeaute8963
Lol 😆
Did you apply for the digital nomad visa from inside Montenegro?
No I did not apply for a digital nomad visa at all. My residency permit is based on company formation which I applied for from inside Montenegro.
Interesting, do we hav there embassy in Nigeria?
No, you can apply for visa through the Serbia embassy
Thank you, that's very useful. I'm in the process of moving to Montenegro and was after 'what is life there really like' / negatives. For me the bad driving and possibly item 4 (in its 'charging foreigners more than locals' form), would be the things to watch out for. But it does sound like a great place.
Hi Chris, I'm so glad you found my video useful to you. It is indeed a great place to live especially if you don't earn a local salary and you know how to have a good time lol. I wish you all the best in your moving endeavours. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have or send me an email fivefootnomad@gmail.com
Tbh I live in London I’m not sure drivers can be more scary lol
You're just different from them. I'm french carribean. France is the country of bakery and what you call a normal cake is not normal to us. In "patisserie fine" cream is used all over the place. I find it a bit disrespectful to call things that you're not used to "weird". Concerning the waitresses would you like them just to not serve you ? They are not dumb for just doing their job. If they did not serve you, would you call them racist ? Anyway most of the things that bothered you would not bother me except for the driving. Thanks for sharing your experience and I think you should just move to Atlanta by the way. Leave these people alone
She needs to be educated ! And respect other people who are different ! Show them some respect!...
Thank you my sister for giving me this idea I want to visit day one day ❤❤❤
Most welcome 😊 thanks for watching
How about living in Nigeria? İs it nice and safe ?
you can always find worse. accepting critics can make you sometimes growth. even become better in some instancies.
Please give m places to go I’m visiting soon
Hi, I really enjoy ur video, and I love ur hair .
Thanks so much for watching my videos and for your compliment :)
Have you considered how polarized two diverse cultures can be, West and East, Afro and Euro? 😕(Ignorance)
Hey Basilia, my name is Besi, and currently live in Botswana, Africa.
I have watched 2 videos and might I say, your content is extremely helpful. I am currently looking for the best & most affordable European country to live in. Why Europe? I got a remote job 5 months ago (I am not with them anymore) and that job it enabled me to earn in US Dollars, which was amazing.
I am currently learning a new skill and looking for remote work (as a freelancer or part-time) online to fully become a digital nomad and then relocate to Europe. You are an African digital nomad and watching your videos gives me a realistic understanding of what being a traveling digital nomad means. Montenegro has been on my radar and I am interested in getting to Europe before the 3rd quarter of the year and possibly staying there for more than 3 months if I find it suitable for my lifestyle.
But your video has given me hope that Montenegro might be a great place, outside of the things you do not like.
I found that we are similar in a lot of things. Any tips or guidance as to where I could get good-paying freelance or online jobs?
I really appreciate your assistance. And, if you happen to still be in Montenegro when I come, I would love to meet with you and you could show me the best places to be.
Thank you for your content and keep on!
Can you please help me to go Montenegro?
Hi, I can provide you with relevant information based on what I've learned so far. Feel free to send me an email at fivefootnomad@gmail.com for further inquiries.
When I move to Montenegro you can order delicious sponge cakes and birthday cakes from me.
Yessssss please. I miss having a delicious slice of proper birthday cake without cream or cheese lol.
I live in Montenegro and i love it and hate it at the same time
Can you explain why?
I dont realy now and simply living in Montenegro is so hard for me becase of my aunt she lives in Gemany
You hit the nail on the head. You can't stop loving the land you come from, even if it's scorched. Same applies to your parents, even when they sometimes don't treat you respectfully@@kosazaric3007
My mom is from Montenegro and she always made cakes and the best sponge cakes. I still have those memories. You probably don’t know how to ask for them.
Since making this video, I’ve actually grown to love their kind of cakes (torta).
I have been learning serbo-croation language for some time. I want to possibly relocate to Montenegro but my spouse not a us citizen yet.
Hi, good to hear you’ve been learning the language and intend on moving to Montenegro. Please feel free to send me a DM on Instagram @fivefootnomad with all your questions about moving, I’ll be glad to help.
I’m actually looking to move somewhere with as few toxic people like this as possible.
Entitled blacks that destroy everywhere they go complaining they’re not catered too every corner of the earth. 😹 save your society make zero black immigrants strict policy.
Thanks for watching!
What about the job we can find the job easily her?
Unfortunately jobs are very limited here in Montenegro and you'll need to speak the language (Montenegrin/Serbian) to work here if you do find a job.
Tipping is unjust and toxic. Studies have shown that tipping is not an effective incentive for performance in servers.
Interesting take on tipping.
It's maybe true in a society/country where the "tipping" is included in the price or when you already pay for a high service in a boogie restaurant, but in developping countries and in average bars/restaurants, it clearly makes a difference in the treatment you receive. Always speak by explaining the context.
Ask yourself, have these very issues posed problem within your relationships? 🤔 (Narcissistic)
Am visiting Montenegro soon.
Five Foot Nomad, please get over yourself and give all of us a break.
Its courteous to learn the language of the country you go to. Even just the basics, English is not their language.
True, that’s why I’ve been learning. Thanks for watching.
Helloooo I live here too. Idemo na kafu
Hello sister
Do they speak English there
Yes many people do speak English at least on a basic level enough to communicate. I have little to no issues so far.
Weve been in Podgorica a year now and coming from Latin America we feel like people are generally not as friendly or open. Its definitely been harder to make friends than when weve lived in Latin America, the Middle East or Africa.
We do not trust foreigners, regardless of where they come from. In Montenegro, friendship is sacred and is not superficial, but must have deep significance. Montenegro has a difficult history and that is why the people are not so happ
Interesting of you to mention this. I feel like I better understand now why I haven’t been able to make local friends in Montenegro. Thank you
True, it’s been harder for me to make friends as well. Yes Montenegrins are friendly in the beginning and will help you if you need help but for real friendship and connections, it’s been difficult.
Relations in Montenegro are clanic. Either your marry somebody and enter the clan or you are already part of the family by birth. The smoking part, is because most people don't have money and they unconsciously numb the hunger they can feel sometimes. The same goes for coffee. It's the cheapest and more abundandent goods you will find in the country. About people being sneaky, you''re are right. If they can charge you more for what ever reason, they will do, especially if you are foreigner. And about law and rights, truelly forget it. You can buy your way out of any situation for the right price. This corruption is what makes it so hard to live in this country and in slavic countries in general. And I think that is also what makes people very angry and more violent in their relations. You have to understand that despite some advance technological features you can get in Montenegro, it's mostly all imported. Schools don't provide high technical education and people in average are not well educated. They know the basic from secondary school, but sometimes you will have to travel across the all country to find a basic specialist of which you could find dozens in every city in western Europe. My native country needs a total change of paradigm, but i don't think it will happen. Because the youth, are all travelling outside the country by every chance they get. Nevertheless, hope you will find happiness there. And for the trash, you are absolutly right. Long ago, we called Montenegro Chateau d'eau/Water tower in Europe after Switzerland. But know, because of all the plastic they throw in the rivers and burn in open air, you wouldn't put a food in the water, even with shoes on. Quite a sad situation. Maybe it will change, but I don't think it will happen before 20-30 years.
@@user-kv9rh3on5s Montenegro has a good education system, our students get the best scholarships. And secondary schools have a better educational system than England and America. Slavic countries are the least corrupt, the number of murders, murders and human trafficking is the highest in Western countries, and drug use in Western countries is massive and murder. All the trash is thrown by tourists who are too lazy to find a bin. All foreigners who come to Montenegro stay and like it. So this is a lie you wrote, yes. I want to know which country you come from?
What about jobs
To work here you need to speak the language; Montenegrin/Serbian. However jobs are limited as it's a small country
Reason 1 got me thinking : you haven’t seen crazy enough if haven’t been in America 👎🏻
You lost me at “DUMB” …….Attempting to explain away the insult ….Only Amplifies
Either go back Nigeria or bring a few hundred people with you from Nigeria to make you feel at home
we miss you on Instagram 🤩
Hi Chika, I miss connecting on Instagram as well but right now I'm focusing on my personal life and creating content with more longevity like TH-cam videos. Thanks for watching my videos, I really appreciate it.
Girl, your youth is showing and lack of travel experience lol.... but all the best!
Learn some respect
Don't act like you know me.
It's like Monaco compared to Africa for a white expat.
Interesting comparison lol
Yes, time to move out for you.
You can love a place and hate certain aspects of it at the same time. No place is perfect and I love living here. This video is to inform people so they know what to expect from my perspective.
So, I thought you was going to say smth like high murder rate, or crack in every corner, or gay predators lurking during night…
But no cake and having to book parties?….bruh….
İ have to say this, but your complaining about people not speaking English is simply disrespectful.
Don't go around the world expecting everyone to speak English. Especially if you decide to stay for a longer time in that country.
You need to work on that attitude young lady.
Thanks for your opinion. However, your assumption is false; I don't expect everyone to speak English - its unrealistic. However, if your economy is dependent on tourism then learning the basics of English may be better for you especially if you work in the service industry no? BTW I get by with English here just fine doesn't mean I'm not learning the language still.
In other video you say "people are kind,nice,helpfull to foreigners becose their economy is based on tourism". Girl learn to respect others,people just try to be kind and nice to you,nothing else.
No way living in Montenegro if drivers are st***d 😂
Ikr it sucks but the reasons we love it keeps us here lol
Montenegro is safest place on the planet drivers are very skiled idc what is she talking abaut
Sounds like you have overstayed your visit and it's time to leave. 😂 Stop insulting my husband's home country. 😮
Lol, I looooove living here but no place is perfect
You are a true comedian. You love the country so much that you prefer not to live in it. Please, don't discourage people to tell the story based on how they really live it. Finding brochures is accessible to everyone everywhere. But having a real experience of what life is in the country, is a richness. I come from this country, and what this youtuber says about it, is closest to what I have experienced myself as a native from Bijelo Pojle. Not everything is a hainous critic just for views.
Maybe the waiter didn't want to speak English to you? Maybe you had an attitude and they just reflected it back to you? Learn the basics of their language. It's not that difficult.
Hello Karen
Lol Montanegro is heavan compared to Africa
It really is and that’s why I live here lol.
Why do you want a special treatment for being black ?
Why don't you reply instagram
Girl went to Montenegro for Nigerian Food and Black People Salons...that's not why its called Monte Negro LMAO
We Don t care
