    I’m a Sierra Leonean but I have never been to this place. I don’t know there. I admire your courage to travel this far.

    You are hilarious. Nothing beats going down a crocodile-infested river on a swimming tree with Captain Mustapha... too funny.... calm look on your face, priceless. Love your story telling. Bravo

Ich hatte mir zur alten Besatzung sehr guten Kontakt aufgebaut. In der letzten Woche wurde ich von den Neuen wegen der Drohne angemault. Ich bräuchte eine Genehmigung usw.. Hab denen dann aber erklärt, dass ihre eigene Regierung mich beauftragt hat, den Straßenbau zu beaufsichtigen und auch fotografisch zu dokumentieren. Da war dann Ruhe.

      Aruvi S don’t worry about that. I always loved to take pictures and little videos mostly as „souvenirs“ for myself because it’s the best to remember things - so this has been part of my travel routine since I can remember. I as well always wrote articles and produced content out of my traveling to earn money with selling them to magazines and newspapers, that’s nothing new to me. TH-cam is a new channel though and I really love the work here because I learn so much with it and that has always been Part of me - trying out new things. But to avoid what you are writing about I decided to not share „live“ from my journeys on all my social media platforms and do that cutting afterwards when I am back, because I want to travel full time and not just have the feeling that I need to experience something to be able to share it constantly.

    3:16 - Funny how similar some things can be between peoples so far apart - our traditional boats here are made the same way .. just from a single tree trunk .. mainly aspen .. and are still used on rivers and lakes today. Our boat belongs also to the UNESCO World Heritage List .. which we're quite proud about, lol. However, as we don't have any crocks here, using those boats is much safer than in Africa 😄

    • @Got2Go
      @Got2Go  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Francis Amara yes, that’s why I as well say „basically no ATMs“. We have not been to Freetown so I don’t know how the situation is there (always a hustle to get on a motorcycle in big cities) but not one single place that we went to and asked for it had any - and Bo for example is not a very small town. I can only talk from my experience - but the locals in Bo told us that there are no working ATMs anywhere besides of Freetown. As I mostly travel overland with avoiding big cities when possible, in my reality that is „basically no atms“ indeed. Or at least: „no ATMs reachable for me“ 😅
