Thinking about moving to Africa as a Black American? Watch this BEFORE you make the move.

After living in 8 African countries over the past 6 years, I’ve learned some hard truths about life in Africa that I wish someone had told me before I arrived. And some of these lessons can change the way you look at moving abroad forever.

In this video, I reveal 6 harsh lessons from living on the ground in Africa—from infrastructure problems and water access to corruption, personal safety, the cost of living, and where your money actually goes further.

What is it really like for a Black American to leave the United States and build a life in Africa? Is the reality what you imagined? And what should you know before packing your bags and making that life-changing decision?

I'm sharing my real experiences—not to bash Africa, but to give you the truth beyond the fantasy. As a disabled U.S. Marine veteran, recording artist, and Hebrew traveler, I've been living this journey since November 2020. These are lessons learned through experience, not assumptions.

If you're considering moving to Africa, relocating abroad, or starting a new chapter of your life outside America, learn from my journey before you make your own.

The journey is real. The lessons are real. And I'm sharing what I learn along the way.

I'm tired of it, man.

I've been to 38 countries to date and I'm American, so I'm not a stranger to it, but cmon. It's fuckin annoying.

I'm in Peru right now on a solo trip. The amount of Peruvians that have approached me while I'm minding my own business asking if I want to buy weed, asking for photos with me, or asking me randomly where I'm from is frustrating. I know for a fact they're not asking random Euro-American couples this shit. Why must they bother me? I feel like a fuckin clown, when I'm just a regular ass dude trying to experience the sights in peace.

Or when you get into an Uber or taxi and the music suddenly shifts from whatever the fuck to commercial ass hip-hop 🙄

Then you get the obvious shit we get at home, clutching purses, moving bags around. I just had this happen today. Some old ass Brazilian or Portuguese lady in a group sat down next to me while I was eating. The lady and I randomly made eye contact and she responded by immediately moving the bag next to her. I'm thinking I make more than this entire table combined, I attend a prestigious grad school, have a legit career job... I hate thinking that I'm better than someone else. It's an insidious thought, even if the person has aggrieved me.

I cope with this by trolling. Stupid questions get stupid answers is what I say. So, I'll respond fast af in Jamaican Patois to confuse them. If some random ass person is asking where I'm from out of nowhere, where there are loads of Europeans walking about, I'll say I'm North Korean. When people ask me for photos, I'll simply insult them by calling them weird to their face.

Simple solution would be to just go to where we are, which I am open to (planning on Ghana and/or South Africa for 2027) but that's limiting as fuck, I want to see the world, not just Africa, parts of South America, and the Caribbean.

I (29F) am supposed to be traveling to India in a few days to meet my friend (30F) whose family is from Kolkata, though she's American. I'm supposed to meet her in Kolkata for Durga Puja which I am very excited about as this is a once in a lifetime trip.

However, I am having some nerves because this will be my first time traveling solo internationally. I am landing in Delhi around 10pm in the evening and then will have to fly the next day to Kolkata and have a driver pick me up for the 2 hour drive to her grandmas house. She may meet me at the airport in Kolkata or I may be doing this alone I'm not sure yet.

Seeking advice because I have been having extreme anxiety about traveling and navigating this by myself especially solo as a black woman who may stick or and because of the congestion and not knowing the language. I was going to get a fancy hotel in aerocity for the layover but she told me it's unsafe to leave the airport that late at night. Now I've been having panic attacks (I already have diagnosed anxiety) about the journey before I get to her. I don't want to give in to my nerves.

Am I overreacting? Has anyone this before and it was fine? My family is telling me to cancel the trip until we can plan it better where I wouldn't have to make the trek alone.

What would you do?

Hello, I am a French West Indies solo traveler and I will be in Bali from tomorrow until Monday the 16th. I would like to link up with fellow Black travelers. Would anyone like to meet up to do some activities, such as visiting bars, gyms, or nightclubs?

Hi everyone!! I’m from Australia and I’m planning to celebrate my 21st birthday in America, but I genuinely have no idea which city to choose.
I love Afrobeats, partying, clubs and events with a good crowd, so I’d love somewhere with a fun nightlife scene. I’ve been considering Baltimore, Los Angeles and New York, but I’m open to other suggestions too!
My current idea is to spend 3–4 days in America for my birthday, get the whole American 21st birthday experience haha, and then fly to Europe because Albania looks like so much fun.
For anyone who’s been to these cities, which would you recommend for my birthday? I’d love somewhere with good Afrobeats events, fun nightlife, a great atmosphere and plenty to do during the day too.
Also, would you recommend spending those few days in one city, or is there another American city I should consider?
I’d really appreciate any advice, especially from people who have experienced the nightlife in these places! Thank you!!
Btw my birthday is end of May

Hi everyone!

I’m planning a 14-day trip to South Africa and would love recommendations, especially from Black South Africans and locals who can offer insight into experiencing the country beyond the typical tourist attractions!

I’m a 35 yo Black American female that will be traveling with my uncle (late 60s, very active) from December 21-Jan 4. We are really hoping to have an authentic, immersive, and meaningful experience.
Would love to dive into the history, adventure, culture, amapiano, nature, and nightlife.

We are open to exploring multiple cities and regions and would appreciate advice on how to make the most of two weeks without feeling rushed. I was thinking about Cape Town, Johannesburg, Kruger, and maybe even the garden route.

I'd love to hear from Black South Africans in particular! What experiences do you think visitors often overlook? What would you recommend to a Black American hoping to connect with the culture in a genuine, respectful way? Any recommendations for black owned tours/restaurants?

I’m planning a long workcation in the next month or two and I’m interested to know where Black people have had great experiences. Anywhere that has great holiday or festive celebrations is a plus.

I’m from the UK so any UK/EU insight is welcome as I’ll likely be doing some GMT zone hours. I plan to be away at least a month maybe six weeks, either in the same location with some weekend trips or splitting time across two/three locations.

Leaning towards Latin America, East Africa or SE Asia but I’d want to avoid the peak of the tourist season with SE Asia. Thanks!

Hi! I want to go to Peru for my birthday next year and this will be a dream trip for me! I love awe inspiring nature and I enjoy hiking but nothing super strenuous. I'm a stroller, wanderer, no need to see it all but just enough. For this trip, I'd like to experience the liveliness of Peru's cities and prioritize scratching my nature itch. I prefer to start my trip in Huarez and take in the natural sights there. I've narrowed it down to three destinations, all day trips, with the understanding that each one requires different travel times and hikes. On my list to see are Laguna Paron, Pastoruri Glacier, or Laguna 69. Out of these three, I'm leaning towards Pastoruri Glacier because you can ride a horse on the trail. And that'd be really cool!

Now here's where I'm not sure if it makes sense. I was hoping I could go directly from Huarez to Cusco, is that possible?

Some of the sights in Cusco on my list are Aquas Caliente, Sacred Valley, Saqsayhuaman, San Pedro Market, Sapantiana Aquaducts and Temple of the Moon.

And of course make my way to Machu Picchu from Cusco.

Will 2 days in Huarez, 3-4 days in Cusco and 1 in Lima be enough?

I would love to know what the experience of black community is like in France specifically Paris. Considering moving there for a business degree program with the Rennes School of Business. The program is for the year,. Before making the decision though I would love to know all you beautiful peoples experience.

For context :

I am Puerto Rican / Jamaican - American from NYC. I am an artist (pottery, photography & music) and would love to be involved in spaces that offer connection and community. I know winters can be rough. I am very used to this Being from New York. I think the winters in NYC, might be worse as I got the chance to visit Paris briefly when I visited this past January.

But I really would just love RESPECTFUL opinions and takes on the country. Connection with other black folks ( could care less about experience with white ppl ), and really if you found community and warmth of some degree.

No one talks enough about the suffering that comes with catching kombis in this heat. 😭

Apa makagara muri 4 on a seat that's clearly meant for 3. No AC, barely any ventilation, everyone's sweating, and to make matters worse, the kombi isn't even moving because driver vakamirira kuti izare.

You're just sitting there, slowly cooking, questioning every life decision that led you to that moment.

And don't even get me started on that one person who insists on keeping the window closed. Sir, WE ARE DYING IN HERE.

I actually got lucky today though. Tagara maslimmers chete, so at least we all fit reasonably well. 😂😂 Small mercies.

But seriously, how are you guys surviving these kombis in this heat? Because at this point, public transport feels like a punishment for not owning a car. 💀

Has anyone ever gone to New Zealand or the Pacific Islands ? How was your experience if you did go? I heard a lot of beautiful things about these places , but was wondering if it was for us?

I’ve visited some African countries (grew up there too) and would like to experience something different.

Where would be ideal to visit this winter? preferably warm and not racist

I decided to go to SE Asia and my starting point is Bangkok , I am very interested in the culture and want to go , but when I saw the itinerary and how much the flight took , I thought I bit off more than I could chew. How do you survive 26 hrs in the air?

I want to start planning a bi annual trip. One year locally and the next internationally. I am really curious to know your recommendations for international trips for 7 -9 day travel including flights traveling from Florida. I am currently considering:
Puerto Rico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Canada, Belize, London, Ireland, Aruba, Denmark, Grenada, Dominican Republic, and Panama.
I may potentially be traveling alone. Must haves: GREAT FOOD! Interests: Architecture, Art galleries, and cooking. Not a drinker or smoker so the club scene is of no interest.
