Dude this video series is PURE JOY to watch!

[@jacquelinemwaniki6465]

Thank you for this tutorial. Keep sharing, you're educating us on what's available in our surroundings.

Dude, your channel is unique and incredible. I'll have a great time watching through it (just discovered it). If there's one bit of flavor you can add - add more 'where I am' camera shots. It's always lovely to see the African countryside, and you have access most of your audience can't find elsewhere.
