Tayo, I really hope you'!! see this comment! It makes me happy to see that you're open to exploring the world. I find that us creatives often feel that we need to remain boxed, due to content that we have previously made, and the following we have built online. You're an amazing story teller, and regardless of what content you put out, your real supporters will be on the journey with you! Btw, I extra appreciate it when you share your vulnerable side, it makes you even more relatable- like in this video. Have a Happy New Year! 🎉 🥂
💯❤
True
No truer words
Í wish you every siucess ín your ñew adventure.love your calm personality.
100% well said Wini!
You're not a TH-camr, you are a great storyteller!
Please use the loudspeaker let him hear it LOUD and CLEAR
And a great Editor, artist, philosopher... Happy New year 2023!
True that sis he is so talented in many ways
Say that again
❤️❤️❤️
As a European world traveller I absolutely fell in love with your videos showing the real perspectives of so many different and diverse places. It's so important for people to see thr reality to break stereotypes and connect instead of oppose one another. Keep doing what you're doing, follow your heart and don't let anyone stop you. And as someone who calls the Netherlands their home, you're so welcome and if you're even back hmu ✌🏼
Silly me. I thought your largest audience was American. As a black American (myself), your stories about Africa and what's going on there are amazing. I can see through you, what I can only imagine from here. You do a great job. It's appreciated.
lol why will it be Americans?
his videos are mostly about Nigeria in Nigeria, the others are places in Africa
I watch from America as well. It’s interesting to learn about different places on the continent.
Yep, American too. I don't really watch videos about travel in America.
@@Kali77rn Yep
Your vlogs always feel real and this strongly sets you apart. I am not doubtful in the least that you’ll be just as magnificent wherever you find yourself in the world Tayo. Shalom!
My favorite Black channels: Tayo Aina, Stock Brotha, & GoBlack2Africa.
The whole world is yours, Tayo. Go for it.
This video made me so emotional and I don’t know why. Maybe because of the realisation that some times we have to slow down and also don’t let anxiety overtake us. We should enjoy the little things of life.
@Kadi O very true.
Hey I’m angolan, born and raised in Portugal currently living in Germany…really nice to hear your perspective of my hometown. Now that I live in Germany i see how easy it is to take for granted those sunsets of Tejo river and the great restaurants or just the warmth of the people. I’m glad you are enjoying it and I recommend you to visit other places like Alentejo, Algarve and Porto you will definitely be pleasantly surprised!
🇦🇴🇦🇴
Hi Tayo, portuguese guy here, been following you for a while, I hope you have fun in Lisbon (even though is the my least favorite city in Portugal xD), I also hope you get to visit the rest of the country and its cities, which are all uniq and beautiful, unlike most people coming into Lisbon just to help on the inflation of the housing prices, also, the city is full of tourist traps, be careful with them!!!!! No hate here, just love, and if you need any tip on where to go, just send me a private message anywhere, there are many many places you can go and many many things I'll proudly show you too , for example Porto, Aveiro, Coimbra, Evora, etc etc... if you google them you'll see how different they are from each other.
And yeah, unfortunatelly there's still a bit of disrespect surrounding the colonization era in Lisbon.
I love how vulnerable you can be on camera, you capture the feeling we all have as Africa freelancers and creatives, be present, stop for a minute and enjoy what's under your feet. I am so proud of you!
He stole YES Theory’s concept
@@frontlineshopping3802 who is yes theory and how did he steal his or her concept?
Wow so amazing 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks for being open and vulnerable with us, going to Europe and exploring the world doesn't mean you love Africa any less and we're right behind you every step of the way!! You are an amazing story teller and we're blessed to be on this journey with you.
As a German/Nigerian who used to live in Lisboa for 9 months I really can recommend the city and it`s lovely people. I go there 2/3 times a year to meet my freinds and recharge my batteries.
I am so shocked that you were afraid to travel the world. You deserved it and more. I’m glad you finally took the leap. Your audience loves you and they should never lock you down to a place, and idea or any feeling. I’m glad you’re experiencing Europe. It’s where I want to start my next adventure ❤
Just wow! Loved every bit of it
I'll at least give it to him that it was the world. I come from a small Georgia town, with a family that don't even want to leave the borders of that town. Atlanta, Georgia is only an hour away by one highway.. And most of them are very adamant about not stepping foot in Atlanta because it's "the big city." I got married in Atlanta, and let's just say I was pretty disappointed by my RSVPs. They are pretty content to be in that town all day every day. Point I was making, sometimes ones comfort will keep them within certain borders. Bravo Tayo for being brave enough to go beyond those borders.
Well said!!!
Life is funny and interesting. To know that traveling was his fear. One man's interest/love is another man's fear.Very inspiring video.
@@t.a.3191 Right? I always thought he just never had the opportunity to travel. I'm really happy to see what the new year brings.
Tayo,you are a travel blogger for sure but also a tremendous storyteller. You can go wherever can feed your inspiration. Yes, we love Africa but exploring beyond Africa doesn't mean you don't like your continent. It's your take and point of view on a certain destination we also want to hear. As the folks in this video said: "Enjoy the moment". Enjoy the journey!
Yes. He's a master storyteller!
Africans love Europe and North America more than their own continent lol
*Try to never* become merely a servant in a western country: the boss/manager/supervisor is western, while the rest is immigrants, especially from non-west countries.
Instead, go and return to contribute to motherland; or at least become a bridge between western countries and Africa, to boost trade for example.
@@oceanwave4502 wat? The richest man in britain is indian.
What a bold faced lie about europe lmao.
In all western nations many africans are proud and succesful business owners.
Here in australia, my friend from zimbabwes Father makes so much money his family back home accused him of witchcraft.
This guy is simply the best at storytelling. You’re gifted, brother. Be forever grateful to God for giving you this gift. This video was a masterpiece, and I can appreciate the level of details and professionalism you put into editing it.
As a Portuguese I hope you enjoy living in Portugal!!
We love when people visit our country!! Though the rising rent prices are really affecting native Portuguese, as the centre of Lisbon is becoming mainly lived by foreigners like French , Italians or Brazilians
Foreign people pay much less taxes than Portuguese nationals so it’s very worth it for foreigners to live in Portugal
Also saw your Namibia video and loved it! Been thinking about visiting Namibia for a long time!
Lemme know when u wanna visit Namibia.. I I'm Namibian and will love to host a and take u round the country ..
A Beautiful place to find Love ❤️
No we don't
@@hayreddinbarbarossa4686 eu gosto
Nos dependemos do turismo
@@joaojervell5810 lol. Ao mesmo tempo o turismo é coresponsavel pelo crescente custo de vida, desigualdades e aumento de tensões sociais face a toda esta invasão por parte destes africanos, brasileiros, indianos e também os mais abastados da América do norte e Europa. Levando ao empobrecimento generalizado da população. Ainda não conheci ninguém que me tenha dito que está a adorar a invasão. És um caso especial
Greetings from a European subscriber. I joined for the African landscapes and nature, and learned a lot about Africa and Nigeria. I got to tip a Nigerian colleague about your channel, they didn't know it. You're a great ambassador, best of luck in the future!
I don't blame anyone who says they had a bad time in Germany because of the people. This is something people need to know before they come here that people in Germany are more distant and colder than most other places. I have traveled all of Europe and there are very few places where people are even ruder than in my home country. I can only think of two right now, Sofia in Bulgaria and Venice in Italy. Everywhere else in Italy people are super nice, just not in Venice. I've been to Portugal several times and loved every minute! I definitely want to retire there or possible southern Spain. I'm wishing you all the best for the new year and for your new life here in Europe! And if you ever decide to come back to Germany and give it another try, consider some smaller less known towns, you might be surprised! Greetings from the middle of nowhere, Upper Palatinate, Bavaria!
Germany best country in Europe
True
First time I've heard of a black person not liking Germany tbh. My sister was just there and loved it. All the Germans I've met have been great.
@@Fluuuv The person who made this comment is not black. You very easily assumed.
@@OluwakemiAde exactly! She just assumed.
You're an inspiration. I am from a tiny island country in the Pacific and you're one of my favourite African TH-camrs. Some of the things that make you stand out from others include: your love for good scripting, out of this world cinematography and cool editing style. Whether you're in Africa or Europe, that won't bother me at all because those qualities will never depart you. Keep inspiring us.
It's quite impressive to see you exploring the world and not just getting caught up in a stereotype that makes one believe that they can not go beyond their tribe or culture or continent. God has blessed us with this large world and expects us to explore it within our lifetime, that is what makes life beautiful and worth living.
Tayo, I left Nigeria 30 years ago.
Unfortunately Nigeria is plagued by corrupt money pocketing leaders and as long as corruption persists it will be very hard for Nigerians to return back home because of lack of development.
One big problem I have with most of our Nigerian brothers who move abroad is that the only three countries that they know are The UK, Canada or the US. I'm happy that you moved to Portugal instead because Portugal has become the hottest destination in Europe for black travelers both from the US, South America, Caribbean and Africa.
I can tell you as a Nigerian that I have lived in The UK, US and Canada and these countries are no big deal. Most of our folks also get frustrated after staying in these countries for a while. The UK was the first country I moved to but after about 3 years or so it got depressing. I also lived in Canada and the US. Same thing. Canada was worse. My issue with living in these countries were the cold winter months.
So instead of returning back to Nigeria like the big mistakes most Nigerians make, I decided to travel to other countries to do some exploring. I settled a bit in Spain and learned the language. Most of our Nigerian folks would never attempt to learn any other language or move to non-English speaking countries.
From there I toured the Caribbean and Central America. It was after I toured the Americas that I found the perfect country to move to.
Of all the countries I visited. These were my favorites. The Bahamas, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Trinidad but the country that I immediately fell in love with 100% was Panama.The reason why I love Panama so much is because it looks very much like back home but on a cleaner and more greener scale with lots of development. The country has universal health care for the most part so medical care in free in most circumstances.The country also has lots of black folks to relate and interact with. So its just as good as Portugal I'd say. So i had to buy a house in Panama. The advantage with the homes in Panama is that they come with large gardens where you can plant most of our local crops from back home. I planted some of our coco yams, mangoes, cashews and udaras in my garden and the soil is exactly the same. This was one of the reasons why I left the UK because I wanted a safe place that feels more like home.
I'm posting this comment because I want my fellow Naija folks to explore the world more and that The US, Canada or the UK are NOT the only places to move to. Two of my friends from the US have already bought land here in Panama. The country is really really green and beautiful so I'll recommend it for those fellow Nigerians who need something warm and different. The UK however is not a bad place. In fact, when you move to the UK it will be enjoyable at first...it gives you that fairy tale/storybook feel but then after about a year it begins to get really depressing. Especially on rainy days and during the winter. That's why I decided to move because I prefer that Caribbean weather of blue skies, beaches and palm trees because that's what is similar to home. Although I love to return to the UK during the summer holidays for parties and to visit friends. The UK is good for holidays but not to live.
So I'm happy for you Tayo.
Been watching your vids for years.
If you continue to have dreams, pursue it and enjoy your life to the fullest.
Cheers
What do you do for a living and what are the opportunities in Panama. As you know ow most people relocate for economic reasons too
Thanks for the info
I moved to Nigeria after 30yrs in the UK and it’s been fantastic not a mistake, one shouldn’t be a parasite pls, which country isn’t corrupt
Who tf is gonna read all of these?
The video wasn't talking about Nigeria's condition for you to come around spilling all these bs
When Nigeria get better would you come back.
Fellow Nigerian here. Portugal is my favorite European country and I am excited to witness your next chapter.
Do you live in Portugal
Welcome to Europe 🫡.
Don´t let anyone tell you otherwise on your path..
Great to know you visited Lisbon. I'm a Nigerian and I have been living in Lisbon for almost 4 years now and it's really awesome living here. Totally different from Lagos hurry life. Apart from the relatively low wages, life is really cool here! The weather, food, people, etc are awesome.
What is the average wage for an international student?
@@gracenwanama5928 There isn’t really a difference between international and national people. Minimum wage is 705€ and will go to 760€ this year, it’s one of the lowest in Europe, but we have so much to offer, you will love the country!
@@irelaS1 thank you for your reply. I intend to relocate from Kazakhstan to Portugal with my husband this 2023. He will be my dependent while I study. Both of us are of African origin.
@@gracenwanama5928 I wish you both the best of luck ♥️
Thank you bro.. You inspire me alot... Watching your video resonate my something deep
Would be funny if you moved to Lagos, Portugal
You can't connect the dots looking forward, you can only connect them looking backwards. Life moves pretty fast but it can also be pretty slow at times. If we don't tune in and take the time to focus on the things that grounds us and take a moment to be with ourselves, we miss out on the most important part of it.
I love that statement about connecting the dots! I feel I can map out my future to a tee, but it’s impossible
Wow Chinyere! Nice perspective, I had to screenshot your comment.
@@MrWayne443 🥳 Those were Tayo's words 🙌 and partly Steve Jobs. Thank you 🤗
Am trying to understand this quote
Welcome to Europe you have done the right thing hope you will like and enjoy your stay in Portugal greetings from Italy
Hey Tayo, I hope you get to read this comment. Please don’t mind that it is long. To start with, I’m very impressed with your content. You are among very few vloggers who have made me prouder of Africa and to be African (Nigerian). From my impression, you’ve done very well for yourself given that you’re only 4 years in the vlogging business as you’ve stated. And I’m even more impressed by your storytelling and especially your video editing skills, which I haven’t even seen any African vlogger close enough. Having said that, I bet to defer from the 650+ comments below. I as your follower don’t think it is a good idea for your relocation to Europe. Please forgive me if I’m too direct, and this might also make me sound like a hypocrite since I’ve been living in Europe for the last 2 decades, and I also don’t know how financially vibrant African vlogging is. But from the outside, I’ve got the impression that you are doing well financially.
Back to content, there are more than enough Europeans telling their continent’s stories and civilization, but very few of you are telling the African story, and I’m glad and pleased with your effort. This can make me sound selfish, but I would rather prefer an African telling the African story. As you’ve mentioned, the majority of your audience is Africans, which means you are doing a great job and people are hungry to know more about Africa. From a business side, I don’t think a European sponsor will consider an African to be expert enough to tell the European story. But that is your competitive advantage in showing Africa to the world. I saw one of the videos that you did for DW, and I was particularly happy for you. I think this should be the way forward. Instead of looking for greener pasture, you should wet the grass where you are. I think you should look for more collaborations with international TV stations like History Channel, Discovery TV, Travel Channel, etc. in showcasing the African stories and the continent. Don’t get me wrong, as I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you having your vacation in Europe and taking advantage of that by doing some vlogs in the process. But I do think/feel that you are better-off being an African continent specialist.
Hi,
Please forgive my opinion. I am a Nigerian born in London, and I am so glad Tayo visited Portugal. We see so many European youtubers in Portugal and it was so nice to see it from a completely different perspective. I hope one day to retire to Portugal I have bought property there. It has opened my eyes to the possibilities, too many Nigerians want to go to the US the UK Canada, but Portugal offers peace calm and opportunities. Some young Nigerians who want a different life should be able to see and share a different perspective. I hope you don't mind me commenting ..
You're so right... that's why i like Wode Maya as he so far has stayed true to Africa. I won't repeat your points, but if he really felt like a change then the Caribbean would have been a good place due to the strong black connections to Africa. Now isn't the time for Tayo to sell out to Europe. Anyways na him life, but he was totally on the right track with Africa. I certainly won't be watching any European videos and may eventually unsubscribe. I was born and brought up in Europe, but I'm trying to get back to Africa, Nigeria to be precise.... anyways mek I go watch Wode Maya channel jor...
Tayo is my number one TH-camr, but Tayo we have 54 country under one umbrella Africa, we need Tayo more in Africa and carrabean than any other continent, on our government side we need one Africa passport, together we stand divided we fall.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate this and I have taken notes 📝😊
When I used to live in the UK I identified myself as A Pan African Afropean. Europe has a long and sometimes dark relationship with Africa and there is need for Africans to explore and speak more on this issue.
As such I often took Afropean holidays spending my money visiting numerous African restaurants, bars and nightclubs across Europe with Lisbon being my number 1 city.
A lot of these cities also are beginning to have museums and exhibitions beging to tell the story of European slave trade and colonisation of African collaborating with African communities in Europe.
A book to introduce oneself to the concept of Afropean is "Afropean" by Johnny Pitts it's a good read.
South African here. I really enjoy your content and the way you approach things - you take such an open minded view of the places you go. I learn lots of things I didn't know before, so thank you for all your efforts.
Tayo Aina is a great story teller through film. We are blessed to live in his lifetime. I wish him greater success.
Tayo, I hope you continue vlogging about Africa. You can live in Portugal and vlog about Africa, or mix it up, vlog about anywhere you like. But don't lose your focus on Africa
I was in lisbon portugal by train from madrid spain back in 1982. I was a student back then and visited 15 european cities in 9 countries all by a single train pass of lesd than 30 dollars sleeping in university hostels. Not much had really changed seeing this your travelogue, the people are amazing, the food great, you made me feel like going back. Thanks for the memory.
Great job to venture out! I limited myself too coz of that. Some people were disappointed of me going out of Africa but I choose to keep on keeping on. Before TH-cam my dream was to travel the world. I had actually visited a couple of countries out of Africa before TH-cam.
Bravo. You can't live in a box.
Tayo, as you embark on this journey, I'll leave you with my philosophy for 2023 which is "Be brave enough to suck at something new".
This was an amazing video and I admire and respect everything you've done and achieved so far. You've inspired me to want to see more of Africa.
Keep shining!!
I'm stealing that philosophy sir... Not a permission, just letting you know I have stolen it
@@marionathaniel7372🤣🤣
The efforts Tayo puts in his videos is top notch 🔝
Great work Tayo, you’ve been a great ambassador and storyteller for not only Nigeria but Africa at large. You deserve to expand your horizons and share you gifts and talents with the world. Wish you great success as you take your channel to the world continent by continent. May the lord keep you and bless the works of your hands exceedingly .🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎉🎉
Well good luck but I will remain in the exploration of my Beautiful Africa. Nothing much will be left of those cold lands within the next 10 years though so Africans start making plans to return home
From one African (Yoruba) to another, I first visited Portugal in 2011, I booked on a whim and kind of regretted booking as I liked to go somewhere further and spicer (from UK), I told my friend (from Caribbean) that I booked, she raved about Portugal and said I would love it. Well, after hyping it so much I definitely wasn't going to love it as she built up expectations too high. I LOVED Portugal; beautiful people, beautiful culture and most black people who travel and go there will say the same, it's not our job to perform victimhood because of slavery. If I have one gripe with Portugal is that I developed an espresso habit after going, I was 28 years clean until that country 😂😂, over 10 years later I can't start my morning without one.
Amazing Content. This actually reflects your inner self. From a distance I see you as a pretty laid back person and often like to immerse yourself into things you put your mind on. This particular journey you've embarked on would surely bring you in touch with the "YOU" you've been running away from; peace and quiet, slow and steady, no drags and no pushes, no unhealthy competitions and accumulations....just you gliding in wave of life's moments and building memories the heart would cherish forever.
Seconded
Like you, I am a world traveler. I've been so inspired by your videos of Africa. I will visit Ghana for the first time in early 2023 and then it's off to Europe, Canada, Jamaica and wherever else my spirit wants to wander. If I can fit Hawaii in 23', that would be amazing. I'll probably get to explore more of Africa in 2024. I'd be happy visiting a different country in Africa once/year or every other. Glad to see you venturing out and sharing the experience with all of us. The world is yours. Enjoy!
The way you infuse history with your tourism videos inspires me. Thank you for this video
My pleasure!

I saw Portugal in 2019 for the first time and I was genuinely shocked by how much I enjoyed being there. Anyway, I'm glad you made it to Europe and I hope you find your peace, bro. Just wanna say, you're one of my favourite TH-camrs that I've discovered this year. Keep shining 💛
Well tayo we are here for you no matter the content you make
You’ve definitely done a service to your continent by showing us so much of Africa. Transition is a natural part of an evolving life. Looking forward to seeing your new journey. 🙌🏾
One good message for Nigerians or Africans from the clip: "Learn to slow down."
Exploring of outside of the continent. Travelling as you know is a way of learning new things.
Tayo, I am such a big fan of yours. I have watched you grow on so many levels over the years. Yet, you stay very focused, humble and rooted to the basics that got you here. I am so incredibly proud of what you continue to contribute and achieve. Go on bro, see the world, admire the endearing beauty of Europe and take us with you on the journey. I have no doubt that soon, you will be narrating stories to us from the peak of the Eiffle Tower, from the Thames, from the festivities of Oktoberfest, from the alluringly beautiful streets of Prague, from the banks of the Danube, from the beaches of Okinawa, from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, amid the vivacity of Manila and for sure, from the pinnacle of the Tower of Liberty...just to highlight a few to come. Your growth underscore the fact that, if one stays true to a mission with grit, creativity, dedication, hard work and commitment, success tends to smile abundantly on them. Keep on keeping us happy and informed!
This is so heartfelt. Thank you 🙏🏾
@@TayoAinaFilms Your next continent should be the Americas Caribbean, North America, South America, from English speaking countries, Latin America, French Speaking countries, even countries that speaks indigenous languages. So you will encounter people of Africa, mixed races, Europeans and Native Americans in various countries. Hope you come our way soon
🇵🇹 is a beautiful place.I’m sure you won’t regret it!lets keep representing 🇳🇬 in our content creation!
the internet is one of the greatest things to happen to us. especially as people that love people its beautiful being able to connect like this
Watching from Namibia 🇳🇦
Your calm demeanor is like a welcome sign 👍 I'm retired and I really enjoy the traveling that you do its how I can see things I will probably never see in person I hope this doesn't stop but if it does I'll still visit with you ( I mean that is what it really feels like visiting 🤷 ) always enjoy what you bring ✌ Hope your Christmas was a good one and Happy New Year 🎇
Never thought of your channel as a place of motivation when I am down I just come here to get distracted just like other channels too but today is truly different, looks like you made this video for me. Thanks man and I pray the Almighty guides you in the journey ahead. Amen 🙏
Another great video, amigo. Welcome to the most epic little country on the planet 🇵🇹.
Top tips for living in Portugal:
1 - learn to love football
2 - don't drink more than 3 bicas a day or you'll get the shakes
3 - never forget that there's always more bloody uphill.
Venha vinho!
This is so relatable as a content creator ‘being bothered about so many things and keeping ourselves in imaginary prisons’ I’m glad you have a different mindset and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for us ❤️❤️❤️
so many bots
Tayo... So good to see your vulnerable side. We all have internal struggles. I am happy that you made the decision to embrace the present moment. I believe great things are in store for you. You have inspired me to take a look in the mirror and make that change too.

I am on my my bed this morning going through my youtube and i saw this vedio. Not a subscriber but will subscribe after this message.
I arrived in italy yesterday and will be going to Germany this afternoon. I am touring Europe too before returning to Dubai where i live. Determination and God is the key to all things in life
You're an inspiration, man, and I've enjoyed experiencing new places and learning about your home continent through your travels. Maybe, someday, you'll make your way over to our side of the world. I'm sure Pacific Northwest (US) would blow your mind. Cheers mate, and best of luck on your new chapter in life.
Brotha Tayo is now in Europe oo
My beloved brother Tayo is now grown, viewing life different 😊
Glad you are in Europe but preferred it when you were visiting different African countries because I had the opportunity to view those countries through your lens
You have to do what feel right for you
You can not live your life for others because its the same people that will criticise you if things do not go well
That do not mean that you do not care, we know you care
Lots of love my brother ❤
Thank you for this 🥰
Thanks for sharing this ❤
I was in Lagos Portugal this Summer and absolutely loved it. It's so beautiful but sadly so touristy...too much crowds especially in the summer. I love that Lagos has become this melting pot of people from all over the world. Portuguese are so welcoming. You need to visit Lagos.
Why would he visit Lagos? He's from Lagos nah. Ok. that's Lagos Nigeria....just kidding o. 😀
@@blackcoraltv6787 there is Lagos Nigeria and Lagos Portugal😂
Go to the Algarve in the low seasons. Far less touristy and more relaxed. Or go to the north. Like Coimbra, Porto, Aveiro. Also less touristy in low season. Lisbon is always touristy, but that’s the capital.
I always watched your Progresses made in exploying Countries. I was born 1944 in Idioro, Yaba, Lagos and left 1970 to Germany to continued my Studies in Germany and qualified in Mech Engineering. I am very happy that you visited Europe. All what u saw and said about Europe is the Truth. Tanx for many of our Afrikans known this.
I left recently for mech engineering too. I hope you’ve had a fun ride Sir

The most wholesome part of this video is when Tayo called his mom to share his excitement 🥹🔥😍
Congrats on taking this huge step. It's been great to see your channel grow over the years. Hope 2023 brings you double blessings!
Growth is such an amazing thing to witness in others 🙌
Love the video. Thanks Tayo!
So glad you liked our country! Thank you and all the best for you and your loved ones! Live free, slowly and enjoy the day!:)
I love how you reflect and ask yourself these important questions, being able to be open and transparent about where you are at in life I think will only help you on your journey of self-discovery and connecting with more people! Keep telling your perspective and your inner truths you uncover along the way.
Im so happy for you! What you are doing is growing & evolving! You took a step received your visa and are following your passion- there will be those that leave the journey, but new followers will join you!
Love this

Good Luck Tayo!!
Glad that you're enjoying Portugal Tayo, next time you're in Africa you can try to explore some of the Poortugeese former colonies here, I'm sure you will find a lot of similarities and some different aspects to explore and to tell the world. Big ups from Mozambique
You’re good at this and it feels like this is your niche. Glad that you’re enjoying the slow pace in Portugal and enjoying each beautiful moments life offers. Wishing you a Happy New Year, with good health and abundant prosperity.
Thank you Tayo. Happy new year

Congratulations Tayo! Happy you have the opportunity to travel around Europe now. I had the chance to be in Lisbon with my sister in 2018 and 2019 and I instantly got what you meant in the video about how everyone takes it easy. I wish you the best in your future endeavors and I'll be here to watch them when you share. ✌🏿
