Hey Mike, A Fan from Ethiopia.... Your videos truly are an inspiration, the way you perceive the world is amazing, keep up the good work. And your mistakes weren't that bad, I would have probably made the same mistakes and I"m from here...
Mike I just want say thank you for your videos I have skin cancer and currently under Chemotherapy for the last 3 months I haven’t left my room so your videos it’s really a big relief for me Thank you brother for these videos big love and respect from Iraq to you brother
My man. It’s my pleasure to show you these things while you recover. I hope I can bring some brightness to your day with these adventures around the world. Heal up ok? Happy you’re here on the channel ❤️🐉
@@fearlessandfar thank you brother, I hope one day you come to Iraq to show you our civilization and culture, learn more about Iraq and our civilizations thousands of years ago to show the world the real side of Iraq that is not on the Internet.
I’m from Ethiopia but I’ve never seen this part of my country. It’s completely different from how I’ve lived. Watching it in amazement here with everyone else, so thankful for your respectful curiosity. Safe travels 🙏🏾
The coffee tea is made from the cover of the coffee berry. Coffee bean is located in the berry. The fruit is dried on the sun and the bean is then extracted. The fruit covering is used to make tea. Here in other part of Ethiopia, we mix it together with the coffee to give it a better taste.
@@picklesdill9138 I am actually not familiar with this tribe. Ethiopia is made up of several tribes and clans with their own cultures and traditions. I am curious though
@Beavis What utter nonsense. They simply think about things, value things or ideas, engage in rituals & beliefs & practices, etc. not overlapping too much with what YOU and your pals value or engage in or think about every one of your waking hours. To some of them, your "level of consciousness" and the BS you engage in every hour of your day... it's atrocious, superficial, and artificial, too. We act and think about and engage in things we grow up being surrounded with. And, of course, it is a given that because materially they are poorer --- with less manufacturing capability, less precision tools, less schools to formally educate their kids, etc. --- that they don't have as many shinny or smooth or expensive gadgets that you do. Or don't they don't have the cars or cell phones or games or foods you're used to. But the number of NEURONS and neuron connections in their brains are exactly like yours.... Or maybe even more than yours, in particular... because the immediate environment they live in is tougher, more marginal, and so perhaps they need to think more and more concretely... in order to survive... so they likely need more neuron connections....
Dear Mike Thank you for travelling and visiting these little known about tribes and sharing their culture with us. It’s amazing how similar all humans are regardless where they’re from, or how traditional they are. These videos are amazing
From my experience most people around the world are good people. They might do things differently than we do but they are just trying to live their best lives just as we are.
@@capitalh6490 obviously. You notice the tour guide is also from the tribe? They still use technology, they just tend not to because it’s not their tradition. As people changed and advanced, some cultures wanted to live the natural way, others wanted to be high tech.
Ethiopia is a multi-ethnic and historic country I'm sure you'll still show us a lot. The way you understand things is great. Keep it up and I will always be with you.
Not really, the country is split into majority cushitic (somali,afar,oromo,woloyta ect) 75% of population, Nilotic (the gambella region, dinka and nuer), omotic (hamar, ari ect) and last one habesha (tigray,tigrinya,Amhara).So cushitic, nilotic, habesha and omotic and actually were all related genetically and im cushitic.
@@sagesandsinners7322 You would never make that comment to europeans who flood every continent or asains who alone are billions, yet here you are to africans, you feed of us, take from us not the other way round. I wish our numbers increase more than the rest of you so we can inhabit all of africa and take back whats ours from you all.
I may never get the opportunity to travel to places like this, as much as I'd love to, so I appreciate so very much you sharing these videos with us. Seeing the varied and beautiful cultures of our world never ceases to bring me joy. I love seeing and learning all the amazing things that are completely different from my culture, yet how many more things we actually have in common with each other, which doesn't really surprise me at all when it comes right down to it. Great content.
Hi Mike I’m also going through a lot with my mental health anxiety and depression I never had this before it started last two years when I lost my son , I also had bad childhood rape and other stuff But thank you to you it makes me less depressed when I watch you videos woth this beautiful amazing culture that other people have nothing but they happy no meter what You keeping me strong and goo on with life Please keep applauding more videos especially of this beautiful country’s and places I wish and hope one day I can goo and visit this beautiful people is my dream to visit Africa, Nigeria, and others Thank you again you are amazing ♥️🙏
Dita, I'm deeply sorry for what you're going through. When I read a comment like that I wish I had the magic to take your pain away. But all I can do is let you know that others care and wish you healing and tranquility. I hope one day you take a dream vacation to Africa and Nigerian and meet good people, make new friends, laugh, get filled with wonder from the beauty of their lands and have a great adventure. And that it gives you a renewed sense of peace and strength.
mike you are probably one of the most understanding and respectful dudes on RUclips. you are so understanding of other peoples customs and choices and you don't judge you aren't there to judge but to learn. i have been watching for a while and you have made me smile every time i get a notification on RUclips saying you have posted a new video. you have motivated me to be more accepting, kind and friendly to others. you are a true role model to over 1.22 million people and i am one of them. keep it up man.

Hey Mike. Thank you for making these amazing videos! I am very poor and not able to have these experiences but with you're videos, I feel like I am there with you! Much love my friend!
Praise Jesus. Please don't say you are poor ever again. It's written in the bible that power of life and death lies in the tongue. Please be positive upon yourself. God bless you.
Mike, I just wanted to express my love for your videos. I love watching every single video from start to finish. I absolutely love the effort that is put into making these videos, everything is perfect, the clips, the shots, the voice over, editing, etc. I seriously appreciate the type of content that you are putting out there in the world. I’m quite young and I love learning about all these different cultures and their traditions, it inspires me to one day travel the world and see this all with my own eyes, thanks to you. I’m glad I get to see how everyone else is living around the world. Thank you Mike for your magnificent content as always :)
I remember the first time I ever put a dip in high school (was also my last time), I literally passed out for an hour and a half and threw up 3 times. Tobacco sickness is one of the worst.
Lots of Love from INDIA!! People loves you because you just becomes the part of their culture, enjoying with them, sharing with them, following their culture without any hesitation , that takes a lot of guts I think, its not easy to do things like this for a person from where you are, lots of respect man take care!!
You're the best man! I rarely get to do much now because of my spine surgery and had to re learn to walk, but, your videos give me something to look forward to. Keep it up man, I hope to do the same one day 🙏
Great to see these places that I'd never actually want to visit, even if I was paid millions to do it. And getting validated in how correct that decision is.
sometimes when I see people with such open-mindedness open hearts feel like crying because you can only find it with this people,did you see how sweet those ladies smiled?honestly they are greate
The coffee is the dried fruit of the coffee bean. Coffee beans grow on trees with a shell that’s red when ready for picking. In Panamá we call it cascara de cafe which is (coffee shell)
7:20 Moringa is not a "new plant in Africa" it is not common in some areas and maybe new to some tribes/people in these areas but it been used and consumed in Africa for thousand of years. Either way love the videos and how open you are towards the people.
5:38 Those look like coffee husks. The dried (sweet) berry of the bean. My parents had a grain mill in the Philippines (rice corn, but sometimes coffee or chocolate), and those look exactly like the husks/chaff you get after processing the beans. We usually mix it with soil to use as fertilizer (same with rice husks, corn cobs can also be re-used as mushroom growing media).
I can’t tell you the number of times I have rewatched different episodes. As an African myself these videos make me proud and puts a smile on my face. Only other Africans will understand that smile 😊
your videos are so wholesome, thank you. after every video i like to tell my family about what i've learned. sometimes they're impressed and sometimes they just say "ok" roll their eyes like they don't believe me. nonetheless...i wont stop educating my family about Africa.
This was a great episode it’s amazing how others live and how blessed some people are that take things for granted much love to the hamer tribe beautiful people ❤️❤️
I really enjoy the way you conduct yourself when visiting diffrent cultures. That is probably the reason you get to see and learn so much about these cultures an peoples. So you will make some unfortunate mistakes. No problem there you are learning an sharing. Thank you so much.
It is so beautiful 😍in Africa...The way of life there is so different and inspiring! Every region/tribe is unique. We all need to see more parts of the world to have a better connection with this world and the people in it! Breaking barriers of patience and understanding.
I’ve never seen someone so comfortable engaging without the language to navigate. I think people everywhere sense your humility, sense of humour and open heart and just naturally can sense your good intentions and vibes.
Once again amazing video brother!!!🔥🔥🔥 Love how you are able to really showcase their way of living. Always great seeing and learning about different cultures. Cant wait for the next one ! 🙏🏽
Another video with pure vibes the world needs more of this after all vibes can cross over into the spirit world but not material things so store up the spiritual vibes to carry on the journey to your real home.
I wish I could afford to travel, you look like you had a lot of fun there. I didn't realize what a cool place Ethiopia could be, the people seem so friendly and inviting. Although it will never be filled, I'm adding a trip to Ethiopia to my bucket list.
Mike, just want to let you know what an inspiration you are. Currently have “looking for my partner to go on adventures like fearless & far on RUclips with me” on my dating profile haha I’ve been talking to a sweet girl for a few months and we might do a 3 month backpacking trip around Europe together. Never thought I’d do anything to push my comfort zone like this.
Mike, love your raw and unfiltered filming, it’s very refreshing to watch your videos!! Keep’em coming and all the very best!! Your subscriber for life!!
The special coffee is a coffee shells. Very special flavour and very healthy. My parents from Yemen and they usd to drink it too. We name the coffee "gishr".
@@fearlessandfar I saw that. Made me quite intrigued. Can't say there are many RUclipsrs from out neck of the woods and it is awesome to see someone being so successful at at. Congratulations, it shows with hard work and dedication anything is possible. As you say keep chasing your fears.
I went there a couple weeks ago on a business trip and the people there were all insanely nice to us, compared to what I'm used to in Ontario and Quebec!
Sometimes you just have to beg forgiveness rather than ask permission. To anyone who disagrees with this motto, you’ve never had the runs at a friends house with no toilet paper.
Mike what you do to yourself is too funny! Bens has a full time job. Film and drag your butt around when you get into trouble. Good team. Awesome content and edit!! Ben nice job! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mike extremely thank you for the video. The one you bought from the market from the little lady trying some English is called "coffee husk" it is a cover over the coffee bean. In areas around Harar it is used as a tea, you have been there, if you had asked about "hojja ashara", they should have told you. I am learning a lot about my home country, Ethiopia, leave alone the world from your videos.
Hey mike iv recently found your channel and ur honestly living my dream of hanging out and experiencing these old tribes and their cultures and ican only hope i have the chance to experience these people and cultures one day
Mike I've been following you way before you reached 1 million subs and let me tell you that your videos get better and better every time. It's tradition at this point that once I get a notification that you posted a new video I immediately plan a snack & show time just to watch it haha. Sometimes my fiancé even joins in. Thank you for doing what you do and exploring and showing us who don't have the opportunity yet to travel as much to see the world thru your lenses. Appreciate you man keep exploring, keep meeting new people and keep impacting lives much love my brother all the way from Philadelphia !
I made the same mistake and the only thing that got me out of this state was drinking cold milk. I thought I was going to die and the effect of the milk ended the feeling like it was magic.
I take moringa everyday this put the biggest smile on my face! Living in America as a child I grew up with the commercials of the bloated kids and it made me so sad so to see that actually have moringa im so happy! I know the health benefits of that plant! Love your videos ❤
Well one easy thing is to not be disrespectful and it's a common adage that says when in Rome do like the Romans so this person is in a village and he's not practicing or studying any of the cultures that those people are doing he clearly did not go somewhere where they were preparing and drinking coffee and followed that easy procedure so he has no idea what he even bought how to use it where to use it what utensils in the rituals that are used to make the coffee he has someone step by step in his face on video do a ritual involving tobacco and he purposely did not follow instructions the man is legitimately rude it doesn't matter if you were in France chugging wine and sloppily eating all the cheese you know the man is rude he can't follow what the hospitality is providing he can't observe and follow what people are doing there is no language barrier this is the same problem if he was in anyone's house in the whole world he would make the same mistakes because he's an obnoxious white man, couldn't you clearly see how insulted the woman that sold him the coffee shells was she did speak in English and he kept pressing her and she told him no I do not speak English yet she was able to still answer politely and correctly and sell him the product but you could see in her eyes and attitude that she was not happy and joyful that this person was asking these questions and demeaning her and demeaning her intelligence by not being able to speak English when he could not communicate one word in her language, it was the same with the man that they picked apart as the guide explained what being dressed up is apparently because that was some type of thing that they needed to do to this man who was clearly also bothered by being observed and on video and being judged all of these things were demeaning to these people
Well...at least you learned from that experience. It's absolutely bonkers. Lol!! Quick shout out to Mike - I am going on my own adventure as I went through a bad really bad divorce. It's time to spend some time alone and also having the fun of my life!! #Fearlessandfar
This guy is amazing, living a dream! He has a phenomenal way with people and establishes a repore in a remarkable intuitive way! Right away those wooden stools so beautifully made and also serve as a way to rest one's head I've seen similar discovered in the ancient Egyptian tombs and wonder about the history of ideas and from where the tradition emerged, one of many centuries, thousands of years. Thanks for a great adventure! I liked and subscribed!
I know it’s not quite the same in terms of extremity but your videos have inspired me to take my first solo adventure. I made a video of it on my channel and I thought of your videos throughout for motivation and it was the best time of my life! Thank you so so much! ☺️☺️☺️
Hey Mike,you're one of the true and the nicest of the blokes to have around giving us a neutral perspective to look at things rather than being ethnocentric mate.Glory to your passion and work.Do these more,we'll always have your back
What do you mean by ethnocentric? He should do better to respect the ppls cultures and manners rather than just jumping into their way of life. For example, some tribes view eye contact or handshakes as disrespectful. No wonder he almost passed out eating salt rock and was made fun of for sitting on the wrong side in the house. He is getting drunk in public. He could definitely do better. Ethiopia is a very poor country because it fought against colonization and Western societies benefit from the ostracism and sufcering of Ethiopia. Ethiopia has more pyramids than Egypt but less tourism. Their headrests/stools, art, and culture are similar to Egypt of antiquity but then black ppl have to listen to Europeans lie and say that Egypt was not a black civilization and not teach African history and contribution as a prerequisite to American History. Africans were sculpting and smelting metals long before the european "bronze age". If ppl learned about the culture before the Greek and Roman empire then ppl wouldn't be so enamored by videos like this or accredit false timelines and technologies that didn't originate with European influence. We could also learn about sustainability. Truly whenever western culture needs inspiration or to learn they return back to indigenous ppl to take what they have and don't give nearly enough if anything back.
You should investigate what we call here in Iowa.. duckweed. All it takes is any kind of water clean or dirty and it grows on top of the water in Louisiana swamps in Iowa fish ponds. It is a super nutrient and replaces itself 48 hours. And it has vitamin B12. You could in starvation and every village you visit that has water.
Lol. "I don't smoke cigarettes,... I smoke other things.... I smoke cigars occasionally..." Haha. Nice try covering up that "other things" quote. I see you. I recognize our common recreation.
Next time I'll be more careful eating rocks and spitting coffee.

Praise Jesus. Please don't say you are poor ever again. It's written in the bible that power of life and death lies in the tongue. Please be positive upon yourself. God bless you.
I'm poor to I been told to be Positive but it sometimes it works and don't work
@@joy7218 I'm poor too!🤣 But I've been poor my whole life so I'm used to it. I've never known luxury so I don't miss it!!
@@abishagrhona2253 I'm so poor
Mike, I just wanted to express my love for your videos. I love watching every single video from start to finish. I absolutely love the effort that is put into making these videos, everything is perfect, the clips, the shots, the voice over, editing, etc. I seriously appreciate the type of content that you are putting out there in the world. I’m quite young and I love learning about all these different cultures and their traditions, it inspires me to one day travel the world and see this all with my own eyes, thanks to you. I’m glad I get to see how everyone else is living around the world. Thank you Mike for your magnificent content as always :)
The ladies on the coffee market saying Abaye Dena neh ? they meant how are you. Big love from Ethiopia
Thanks for your translation brother 😀💚
I remember the first time I ever put a dip in high school (was also my last time), I literally passed out for an hour and a half and threw up 3 times. Tobacco sickness is one of the worst.
Lots of Love from INDIA!! People loves you because you just becomes the part of their culture, enjoying with them, sharing with them, following their culture without any hesitation , that takes a lot of guts I think, its not easy to do things like this for a person from where you are, lots of respect man take care!!
You're the best man! I rarely get to do much now because of my spine surgery and had to re learn to walk, but, your videos give me something to look forward to. Keep it up man, I hope to do the same one day 🙏
Hope you get better man!
I love these so much!!! So many angles of knowledge & its so cool. Thank you for filming these awesome experiences!🤩
Great to see these places that I'd never actually want to visit, even if I was paid millions to do it. And getting validated in how correct that decision is.
It’s just nice we still have people who like to travel and document things .
sometimes when I see people with such open-mindedness open hearts feel like crying because you can only find it with this people,did you see how sweet those ladies smiled?honestly they are greate
Ethiopia seems like an amazing place, the people are wonderful, so welcoming and humble, I'd love to visit one day ❤
The coffee is the dried fruit of the coffee bean. Coffee beans grow on trees with a shell that’s red when ready for picking. In Panamá we call it cascara de cafe which is (coffee shell)
7:20 Moringa is not a "new plant in Africa" it is not common in some areas and maybe new to some tribes/people in these areas but it been used and consumed in Africa for thousand of years. Either way love the videos and how open you are towards the people.
I think its origin is from India. I'm growing 3 right now.
5:38 Those look like coffee husks. The dried (sweet) berry of the bean. My parents had a grain mill in the Philippines (rice corn, but sometimes coffee or chocolate), and those look exactly like the husks/chaff you get after processing the beans. We usually mix it with soil to use as fertilizer (same with rice husks, corn cobs can also be re-used as mushroom growing media).
You're exactly right! I'm from Saudi Arabia and we also enjoy a similar drink made out of coffee husks here which looks just like that
im ethiopian and i have never seen or known this part of my country you inspired me thanks you from luxumbourg
I stumble on this channel just when I am short of good channels. Great content man.
A new fan from Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
I can’t tell you the number of times I have rewatched different episodes. As an African myself these videos make me proud and puts a smile on my face. Only other Africans will understand that smile 😊
your videos are so wholesome, thank you. after every video i like to tell my family about what i've learned. sometimes they're impressed and sometimes they just say "ok" roll their eyes like they don't believe me. nonetheless...i wont stop educating my family about Africa.
wow mike ! you are amazing person. Thank you for visiting my country Ethiopia. your understanding and respect for the culture is heart warming .
Oh gosh! Experiencing a different culture is so awesome! Thank you for sharing this! It doesn’t always go to plan 😂
እናት ኢትዮጵያ ፣ ማህፀነ ለምለም የቃልኪዳን ምድር። 🇪🇹⚔️🇪🇹❤
😍😍😍
It’s amazing how kids in remote areas don’t need toys they just need someone to play with.
That's what we call happiness
"It's amazing how kids in remote areas act like kids"
I love how the women have their hair done! It’s such a unique hairstyle
This was a great episode it’s amazing how others live and how blessed some people are that take things for granted much love to the hamer tribe beautiful people ❤️❤️
I really enjoy the way you conduct yourself when visiting diffrent cultures. That is probably the reason you get to see and learn so much about these cultures an peoples. So you will make some unfortunate mistakes. No problem there you are learning an sharing. Thank you so much.
It is so beautiful 😍in Africa...The way of life there is so different and inspiring! Every region/tribe is unique. We all need to see more parts of the world to have a better connection with this world and the people in it! Breaking barriers of patience and understanding.
I’ve never seen someone so comfortable engaging without the language to navigate. I think people everywhere sense your humility, sense of humour and open heart and just naturally can sense your good intentions and vibes.
Word of advice, never touch a black person's hair. No matter where you are in the world. Great vid.
We aren't so sensitive and insecure with our hair in Africa,
What if you asked permission first? If they said yes?
I love how the guide pouring the mead pours 10% for himself of what he gives the other 2 guys.
Once again amazing video brother!!!🔥🔥🔥 Love how you are able to really showcase their way of living. Always great seeing and learning about different cultures. Cant wait for the next one ! 🙏🏽
This tribe is so similar to my Kalenjin tribe in every way, except the language. Love it!
Another video with pure vibes the world needs more of this after all vibes can cross over into the spirit world but not material things so store up the spiritual vibes to carry on the journey to your real home.
I wish I could afford to travel, you look like you had a lot of fun there. I didn't realize what a cool place Ethiopia could be, the people seem so friendly and inviting. Although it will never be filled, I'm adding a trip to Ethiopia to my bucket list.
Mike, just want to let you know what an inspiration you are. Currently have “looking for my partner to go on adventures like fearless & far on RUclips with me” on my dating profile haha I’ve been talking to a sweet girl for a few months and we might do a 3 month backpacking trip around Europe together. Never thought I’d do anything to push my comfort zone like this.
Congratulations! I wish you luck, and a wonderful journey!
If you ever gonna hit Poland, around the Poznan area, hit me up. I can show you around :)
have a wonderful trip and be safe! 😁
As an Ethiopian am proud. I like the way you enjoy every single moment🥰🥰🥰
I really like your adventures..so cool to meet so many different people.
Jesus Is God. I am Ethiopian living in Nashville, Tennessee. love your video.
Love all your videos. Love all the people and these cultures I never would have known about. Keep doing your thing, I’m eager to see what comes next.
Mike, love your raw and unfiltered filming, it’s very refreshing to watch your videos!! Keep’em coming and all the very best!! Your subscriber for life!!
I only discovered this channel yesterday and I'm already addicted, great videos 🤙
The special coffee is a coffee shells. Very special flavour and very healthy. My parents from Yemen and they usd to drink it too. We name the coffee "gishr".
I am new to the Channel, from Saint John, New Brunswick. Love the content and the ideology you portray.
Eyyy bro! I'm from Fredericton!
@@fearlessandfar I saw that. Made me quite intrigued. Can't say there are many RUclipsrs from out neck of the woods and it is awesome to see someone being so successful at at. Congratulations, it shows with hard work and dedication anything is possible. As you say keep chasing your fears.
Uttam
I went there a couple weeks ago on a business trip and the people there were all insanely nice to us, compared to what I'm used to in Ontario and Quebec!
Sometimes you just have to beg forgiveness rather than ask permission.
To anyone who disagrees with this motto, you’ve never had the runs at a friends house with no toilet paper.
Mike what you do to yourself is too funny! Bens has a full time job. Film and drag your butt around when you get into trouble. Good team. Awesome content and edit!! Ben nice job! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Mike extremely thank you for the video. The one you bought from the market from the little lady trying some English is called "coffee husk" it is a cover over the coffee bean. In areas around Harar it is used as a tea, you have been there, if you had asked about "hojja ashara", they should have told you. I am learning a lot about my home country, Ethiopia, leave alone the world from your videos.
Ethiopian people are beautiful 🖤
Great video the people seem so welcoming, friendly, happy and nice.
am Ethiopian and I haven't even seen it, you're lucky man! thanks for all the respect you showed to my people!
Great videos, Mike ! Greetings from Oaxaca, Mexico🇲🇽
Hey mike iv recently found your channel and ur honestly living my dream of hanging out and experiencing these old tribes and their cultures and ican only hope i have the chance to experience these people and cultures one day
I am from India. I watched your total videos and very enjoying
Mike I've been following you way before you reached 1 million subs and let me tell you that your videos get better and better every time. It's tradition at this point that once I get a notification that you posted a new video I immediately plan a snack & show time just to watch it haha. Sometimes my fiancé even joins in. Thank you for doing what you do and exploring and showing us who don't have the opportunity yet to travel as much to see the world thru your lenses. Appreciate you man keep exploring, keep meeting new people and keep impacting lives much love my brother all the way from Philadelphia !
Whenever I watched your videos I'm amazed by your presentation. The way you approach, and communicate with the people is absolutely amazing.
Proud d to see a fellow Canadian making such a great impression around the world
great to see Ethiopians accepting them with wide heart
Thank you for sharing my beautiful Ethiopian 🇪🇹Omo Hamer ppl .
I made the same mistake and the only thing that got me out of this state was drinking cold milk. I thought I was going to die and the effect of the milk ended the feeling like it was magic.
I love the womans hair
I take moringa everyday this put the biggest smile on my face! Living in America as a child I grew up with the commercials of the bloated kids and it made me so sad so to see that actually have moringa im so happy! I know the health benefits of that plant! Love your videos ❤
I’m new to the channels but I must say one of the better ones I’ve watched on RUclips.. great job.. thanks for the great contents..
It’s so interesting that no matter how much humans have, we all seem to gravitate towards similar activities whether we realize it or not.
as a texan, when i saw him eat that tobacco i had a panic attack
Him picking up someone’s hay and getting fussed out is the funniest thing. 😂
Am enjoying every bit of the moment with your videos, it's so amazing 🤩 your personality is great. The way you guys blinds with the locals is dope 🔥
I love how no matter where in the world you may be....the children there want to be chased around too. 😚
Visiting these countries is definitely on my bucket list..real people that haven’t been consumed by any government and corruption
This is where we come from, thank you both for sharing. Indeed, a beautiful culture!
The children at the end were precious ❤
It shows you how difficult it must be to stay respectful when in foreign lands!
Well one easy thing is to not be disrespectful and it's a common adage that says when in Rome do like the Romans so this person is in a village and he's not practicing or studying any of the cultures that those people are doing he clearly did not go somewhere where they were preparing and drinking coffee and followed that easy procedure so he has no idea what he even bought how to use it where to use it what utensils in the rituals that are used to make the coffee he has someone step by step in his face on video do a ritual involving tobacco and he purposely did not follow instructions the man is legitimately rude it doesn't matter if you were in France chugging wine and sloppily eating all the cheese you know the man is rude he can't follow what the hospitality is providing he can't observe and follow what people are doing there is no language barrier this is the same problem if he was in anyone's house in the whole world he would make the same mistakes because he's an obnoxious white man, couldn't you clearly see how insulted the woman that sold him the coffee shells was she did speak in English and he kept pressing her and she told him no I do not speak English yet she was able to still answer politely and correctly and sell him the product but you could see in her eyes and attitude that she was not happy and joyful that this person was asking these questions and demeaning her and demeaning her intelligence by not being able to speak English when he could not communicate one word in her language, it was the same with the man that they picked apart as the guide explained what being dressed up is apparently because that was some type of thing that they needed to do to this man who was clearly also bothered by being observed and on video and being judged all of these things were demeaning to these people
😃👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻…great!…thank you so much for sharing your happy and wanderful experiences with us !…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤗
I suggest traveling to the city of Kharkhir to learn about the culture of the Mahri-speaking people in the Empty Quarter desert
Here's a tip: add a small amount of cold water to hot coffee to bring the leaf and shells to the bottom
Awesome video in beautiful ETHIOPIA 🇪🇹
That's an ancient land with many different cultures and People's I like the wild life out there 😃
Some real genuine smiles from the amazing people, is it just me or do they seem much happier than the average person.
Mike with tobacco rush 🤣😭🤣
This is the best! So amazing 🤩 and great to watch! Makes me want to get out and travel again!
I felt bad for you when you were chewing that tobacco I know how you felt bro.
Wow my country every we u go nice and good people and.....
Well...at least you learned from that experience. It's absolutely bonkers. Lol!!
Quick shout out to Mike - I am going on my own adventure as I went through a bad really bad divorce. It's time to spend some time alone and also having the fun of my life!!
#Fearlessandfar
This guy is amazing, living a dream! He has a phenomenal way with people and establishes a repore in a remarkable intuitive way! Right away those wooden stools so beautifully made and also serve as a way to rest one's head I've seen similar discovered in the ancient Egyptian tombs and wonder about the history of ideas and from where the tradition emerged, one of many centuries, thousands of years. Thanks for a great adventure! I liked and subscribed!
I know it’s not quite the same in terms of extremity but your videos have inspired me to take my first solo adventure. I made a video of it on my channel and I thought of your videos throughout for motivation and it was the best time of my life! Thank you so so much! ☺️☺️☺️
Nothing like sitting around drinking coffee and seeing your friend's sister's nipples? What a good life. 🙃
Don't go solo in Africa. Bad idea for MANY reasons
Hey Mike,you're one of the true and the nicest of the blokes to have around giving us a neutral perspective to look at things rather than being ethnocentric mate.Glory to your passion and work.Do these more,we'll always have your back
What do you mean by ethnocentric? He should do better to respect the ppls cultures and manners rather than just jumping into their way of life. For example, some tribes view eye contact or handshakes as disrespectful. No wonder he almost passed out eating salt rock and was made fun of for sitting on the wrong side in the house. He is getting drunk in public. He could definitely do better.
Ethiopia is a very poor country because it fought against colonization and Western societies benefit from the ostracism and sufcering of Ethiopia. Ethiopia has more pyramids than Egypt but less tourism. Their headrests/stools, art, and culture are similar to Egypt of antiquity but then black ppl have to listen to Europeans lie and say that Egypt was not a black civilization and not teach African history and contribution as a prerequisite to American History. Africans were sculpting and smelting metals long before the european "bronze age". If ppl learned about the culture before the Greek and Roman empire then ppl wouldn't be so enamored by videos like this or accredit false timelines and technologies that didn't originate with European influence. We could also learn about sustainability. Truly whenever western culture needs inspiration or to learn they return back to indigenous ppl to take what they have and don't give nearly enough if anything back.
Widzę że dużo podróżujesz fajny kontent
You should investigate what we call here in Iowa.. duckweed. All it takes is any kind of water clean or dirty and it grows on top of the water in Louisiana swamps in Iowa fish ponds. It is a super nutrient and replaces itself 48 hours. And it has vitamin B12. You could in starvation and every village you visit that has water.
Lol. "I don't smoke cigarettes,... I smoke other things.... I smoke cigars occasionally..." Haha. Nice try covering up that "other things" quote. I see you. I recognize our common recreation.
That Is So Good Of You And You Can Get More Cultire In Other Parts Of Ethiopia
Ut Is What I Recomend As An Ethiopian
