  • 30,000 people often referred to as "water men" live on the largest lake village in the world located in the West African country of Benin. It is one of the most fascinating and unbelievable places I've ever seen. The 12th episode of my travel vlog series from Africa offers affordable travel gems and an incredible Beninese adventure.

    While you were explaining the slave trade in Benin I forgot foe a sec what channel I was on, it might've as well been a History channel documentary. Peter you're amazing and your content is incredible. Plz continue!

    I am really stunned by your videos Peter. I usually don't watch any "vlogging" channels at all and was also hestitant about your african vlog, but I am really glad i started watching. I love that you are mostly positive but you also do not pretend that everything is great, like most vlogers do.
    It's not the case that I really enjoy seeing people in a bad mood but if somebody is in great mood 24/7 even about things that definitly aren't positive, it is just obvious that they are just fake.
    Please stay like that!
    I wish you and Theresa a lot more great time together!

    haha when you wrote «turn off the camera or you’re not gonna live in the next 5 minutes” just left me laughing for like 2-3 minutes, definitely the funniest part of the video 7:10
    and btw keep up the good work! i love your videos!

    An other really nice "Venice" kind of place is Inle lake in Myanmar (Burma). You 've got about 10 small towns and a lot of "in the lake fields". I bet you would enjoy this place .

    Hey PPPeter, I really love your video's, just one thing, it might be a good idea.
    To sort your playlist in the right way? Now I have to keep clicking, to see the next episode, because it is in the wrong order.
    I don't mind it too much, but people are lazy, I guess the right order is the point of a playlist?
