I also caught this travelling bug 22yrs ago. My first adventure started when I was 20yrs old. I got a 3yrs working holiday visa to the USA in 2000, & I spent 3 wonderful years working and travelling the length & breadth of the 🇺🇸, met people from all walks of life & I made lifelong friendship & experienced different cultures & cuisines. In March of 2003 I came back home & in June I got a 2nd working holiday visa for Canada & I spent another beautiful 3 years enjoying & working in 🇨🇦. In 2006 March, I came back to 🇿🇦 & in May I went to the British embassy in Hatfield, Pretoria for my visa interview. A week later I got my 3rd working holiday visa to the UK & 16yrs later I'm still living in the 🇬🇧. Since then I've travelled to 35 countries most of them are in Europe. Just before the pandemic I went to Australia & New Zealand. Travelling also made me fall in love with photography and now wherever I go my 2 canon dslr cameras are always with me.
Travelling is so refreshing and also good for our mental health. I once did 4 countries in one day. I woke up in London, had breakfast in Paris, then had lunch in Copenhagen, and I finish off my journey with a dinner in Stockholm. The close proximity of countries in Europe made it possible for me to fly across different countries in one day.
The day I found Afrika,my whole perspective on traveling changed, I've been to no less than 7 trips with him, he is an amazing human being, so much respect and humility, he delivers on his promise and goes beyond, We are going to Bali soon, I honestly never thought I could be living this life but Afrika Mdolomba made it happen though the : # TravelwithAfrika curated trips 💃💃💃💃🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lovely episode yet again. My biggest lesson with traveling, i’ve grown to appreciate home more. The struggles we experience in SA are in every other country, just at different intensities. I’ve also landed in some Asian countries and my first encounter with the locals would be a taxi driver sharing horrid or negative thoughts about their own country, leaving me low key panicked and second guessing my decision to visit haha. Luckily the worst experience was being scammed by some taxi drivers looking to make a quick buck from the foreigner lol. I’ve realized that as South Africans we tend to highlight the negative aspects of our country more than the good. We don’t give ourselves enough credit at times.
can we get an episode on parents who’s given there children up for adoption or have left them outside homes or hospital to get a different specific from the two young ladies who appeared on here around January this year
I love people that acknowledge the beauty and how breathe taking my home country Namibia is. We most definitely underrated but slowly but surely we will get there. #namibiaToTheWorld.
I always say if i were to move to Asia, I'd definitely go to Vietnam specifically Nha Trang (I love coastal cities). Vietnamese are very friendly, humble and welcoming people. I've experienced pockets of what I perceived to be racism in Munich, en-route Antwerp from Amsterdam as well as in Toronto.
My travel bug hit me when I opened a Xhosa text book that showed a picture of Capetown and at instant I wanted to see it, then 2015 I got an opportunity to go to Capetown and from then I have been to 7 provinces I wanna Finnish the two which is Northern cape and limpompo the I can hit the rest of the world.
Travelling the world is the most liberating thing you can do for yourself. Once you catch the travel bug, theres no looking back and i'd definitely recommend backpacking.
What an inspiration Afrika is👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽 I follow him on Instagram but I didn’t know his journey. Thank you so much for this interview, now I’m looking forward to joining him to one of his trips
my love for traveling!! that time i haven't even traveled my own country! but i'm gonna ensure that i do, much as i would love to, provided i have the means of course.
Great story, Afrika. I’m super inspired. I’m a traveler at heart, but I’ve only been to five countries. I want to do more. I just checked your profile on Twitter.🙌🏿🔥 #TravelWithAfrica
I have questions, how does he sustain romantic relationships while traveling? Which age does he think he'll retire from traveling? Does he get to budget while traveling?
I'm not him but I can share from my observations of the people I know who travel with families and also from my perspective as somebody who lives in a pretty peculiar scenario. I live between 2 countries and 3 cities and for me i let people interested in me know exactly what my lifestyle us like and where im typically located. We can decide if it makes sense for us to maintain a long term connection or not. I myself am not in the position of wanting a relationship however from the people I've dated, the variety have been people who inherently understand the fact we'll be apart and they have also been very busy people themselves. Engineers, people who work in the tech field, cheft etc. With the type of person i am I thrive with quality time but also love my own time alone and those job roles I mentioned are very demanding and pair very well with not only the type of life I prefer to live in terms of travelling because the time available for us to spend time together are limited anyways. And if the people love travelling too there's nothing stopping them from meeting half way. And I'm not sure if its the people im surrounded by but for example one of my closest friends are in school in another European country, spend summers in an African country but also have home bases in other countries within Europe. They have a partner currently and so does their sibling. Both sisters do not come from the same place as their partners but because travel is such a big part of their life they have acquires techniques to make it work. They plan it ahead of time much more meticulously than i ever plan anything but it's a responsibility you need to take on if you want to maintain relationships or form yhem nomatter the nature of those. In the meantime we live in a world where video chatting is available so it makes things a little easier. I also know of married couples who've done similar things whilst travelling and making money apart anf yhen later on moving in together but not necessarily immediately after marriage. Now one of the couples are having a baby. Im sorry this is a lot. I am only one person who knows but so many people in enough detail to be able to share. I'm sure many other people will have different experiences. What i want to reiterate is that different people have different requirements and expectations from a relationship. As long as trust itls there and the people are present. It can work. I understand this isn't easy nor does it work for everyone. I speak as a detached person comfortable with spending time alone. I understand other people struggle a bit more with that seperation anxiety and that is normal. Hope it helps with a different perspective 💫
I agree, hate to travel with people because I just like him, decide at the moment what to do or where to go. I back pack on my own, now with family or with my daughter, never traveled with friend. I don't want a person counting how much things while on holiday.
So in all this amazing interview with so many beautiful stories from Afrika and all the relevant questions asked, all that stood out for you was the her choice of dress?

Ooooooh! I wanna tag along to Bali!
I cannot wait to join you guys at some point. I'm intrigued. I have only been to 6 countries and for me it's just budgeting.
Bali is amazing! I intend to go back, I'll definitely consider booking with TravelwithAfrica
Please bring in Merica Monamodi, her goal is 30 countries by the age of 30, she’s great! ❤️🙏🏾
Yes she will make a good guest

Namibia, yeah.! You people must visit our Namib desert, Sossosvlei in particular. The Deadvlei is amazing. Thanks for choosing my motherland.
Been to all the countries he's visited ❤️❤️❤️ traveling is a beautiful experience
Please vlog your experiences🙏🙌
I love this I have the same love for the world. Been to 25 countries by 32. Soon I go to Sweden 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

@@tintswalomabasa565 I hope you get to travel
I love this guy, so cool, soft, gentle in his voice, calm. His English... ohhhhh luv it

My dream is to go to Namibia... One day is one day
Another beautiful episode, I am inspired. Going to travel with Afrika soon, no more taking random leave from work without a plan 😊
I always say if i were to move to Asia, I'd definitely go to Vietnam specifically Nha Trang (I love coastal cities). Vietnamese are very friendly, humble and welcoming people. I've experienced pockets of what I perceived to be racism in Munich, en-route Antwerp from Amsterdam as well as in Toronto.
His name fits him well. I love travelling too ❤️
Travel opens up your mind

Namibia 🇳🇦 always taking the cup #proudlyNamibian

It's good to see black people explore life.
I travelled with Afrika once, I really enjoyed it.
Your show is a gift to us... Love It!! You expose us to so much

U r me! I am u
M’Afrika is doing wonderful things and I proud of your journey bro 😎
Great story, Afrika. I’m super inspired. I’m a traveler at heart, but I’ve only been to five countries. I want to do more. I just checked your profile on Twitter.🙌🏿🔥 #TravelWithAfrica
Wow how I wish I’ve only been to 3 countries out of South Africa . Singapore , zim and Doha that’s it

A big fan of the Show ; love from Namibia 🇳🇦♥️
Very interesting story to listen to❤❤❤
I knew he was going to say Namibia
So inspiring. Will check Afrika out. Thank you
😃 😀 😄 I'm at Koyoko airport via Addis Ababa to O.R Tambo
I have questions, how does he sustain romantic relationships while traveling? Which age does he think he'll retire from traveling? Does he get to budget while traveling?
Yeah. And also, does he have kids? What are the prospects of travelling with family or as a parent versus being a singleton.
It seems as if his passion for travelling supersedes all that., at-least for now.
I'm not him but I can share from my observations of the people I know who travel with families and also from my perspective as somebody who lives in a pretty peculiar scenario.

@@TheSmileycece Hey thank you for the long detailed response and I understand a bit better especially with the example of people with busy careers
With the Zanzibar thread trending yesterday... I travel alone as a women is something I don't want
That was a bad experience that lady had.
Honestly, I had a trip to Zanz in Sept ALONE. I'm not doing it anymore. Aai
I'm currently in South Korea. I would like to move to China and learn Mandarin as well. What is the name of the scholarship he used?
You go Afrika♥️
I agree, hate to travel with people because I just like him, decide at the moment what to do or where to go. I back pack on my own, now with family or with my daughter, never traveled with friend. I don't want a person counting how much things while on holiday.
