young then so when you were young you're just like you just go wherever your parents go you're just like oh well and how do you feel being here? very happy I'm very glad that we came here definitely tell me your name and what does all apologetic nomads represent so unapologetic nomads so when we first decided to take an opportunity to leave the US in 2015 there were some doubters people were like why are you going to those places we first moved to the UAE in 2015 and there were people like actually scared for us and I'm like what? we had already done our homework and we were like I don't understand what they were talking about be careful are we going to pray for you be careful I think you need to be careful after arriving and just being receiving so well and just being blown away by that experience we started our channel and so we decided okay it's time to show our people the world the way it really and truly is and because a lot of times we are we're schooled by media and people feed into the negativity and the things that really aren't true about the rest of the world I think America is the land of milk and honey dreams and whatnot big dreams but the world is so much more this is vast and so many places to see and we have had amazing experiences so through those experiences we wanted to share that with people and let them see truth and how the world really really is and so that's what inspired us so unapologetic is being okay we love to travel we're family of nomads and we're not going to apologize for being who we are you know we love seeing different meeting different people and just being introduced to different cultures and I'm a foodie so love to try different types of foods and things and so we just love trekking globe and we love the continent of Africa we've also lived sometime in Southeast Asia we visited Europe but there's no place like the continent but why would you leave America in the first place wow to be honest what am I just sick of the racism the injustices and just inequality all the things that are still going on and we think back and you study history you see that our forefathers went through these things and it's 2021 and we're still going through this it's insane and back then that was 2015 now here fast forward it's 2021 we're still suffering the things that our forefathers have gone through who built America and it's just it makes no sense to me so just to give our daughter a better opportunity and to grow up in a safe environment and to have opportunities and to be able to do what she is supposed to do you know we love her and she's very gifted and we want her to be around people that look like her that will appreciate her that will love her just as we do so among all things there were so many other reasons but that is a big one how many countries have you been on the continent take a walk with me it's alright it's safe in Rwanda how many countries have you been on the continent wow I guess it's Ethiopia South Africa Tanzania here in Rwanda Tanzania there's one more Egypt Egypt I'm so sad that you've never been to South Sudan Namibia or Somalia because those are the real nomads it's easy I'm apologetic nomads you need to find yourself in these three countries I just want to know how has the experience been like on the continent good it's been amazing because like I said there are people there are a lot of doubters and they think that oh there's violence there's this, there's that there's people do you know that people still think that people live in huts yeah you know they don't think that there are developed countries developed like cities and countries here on the continent and so that's another you know thing that we're trying to kill that belief the negative things that people think about the continent and this is where it all began and Africa and we thank you for also putting Africa on the map because Africa is rising the experience has been amazing since you're saying that Africa is rising definitely when you are back in America you had some kind of perception about the continent of Africa before coming what ever things that you heard about the continent that you came to realize that they really lied to me wow like she said people live in huts there's no water, no food oh wow yeah that is like before I didn't even know if I'm being dead honest I didn't know there was like trees like when I was really young I didn't know there was like trees and grass I thought it was just desert desert desert if you're living in a desert how are you gonna survive then exactly yeah it's sad so now you've seen Africa through like for yourself right what are you gonna tell people who think like that look this look better I can't even begin there's places in Africa they look way better than places in America way cleaner way more developed yeah yeah how long have you been in Rwanda wow maybe nine ten months because we spent three and a half months in Tanzania as well in Tanzania and then we bounced back so we were kind of back and forth a little bit but we've been on the continent for maybe a year or two months now yeah as a true life of a nomad nomads don't stay at one place for long yeah and you define Rwanda as a land of opportunities yeah since you came in here what kind of opportunities have you seen so far wow agriculture is huge we did purchase land so we intend on trying to do something within the agricultural sector we ourselves have a business registered and what we do is sales and promotion so you'll find us on our channel we use our platform to promote businesses and people here in the country and different places they have businesses who can't afford to have a website who can't afford to pay for marketing and things like that so that's what we do we go and we interview people we find wow this person has an amazing skill or they're doing something great let's promote this person and a lot of times it's for free and a lot of times people miss it the opportunity things that we just give unfortunately business is going to have to be different soon because we had to generate something how many subscribers do you have now last time I checked 25 25 25,000 bring the camera on me then I've been telling you guys that it's time to change the narratives of Africa and when I started this project the main intentions of this whole project is to change the narrative of Africa with African content creators but to see people all the way from America to come to the continent to promote the continent even people in Rwanda are not doing the job that they are doing so you know what I don't beg anymore it's by force I'm going to put a link in the description go there go subscribe and go tell them that what Amaya told me that it's by force to subscribe to the YouTube channel I'm going to be there to make sure that all of you have subscribed and I'm going to be there to make sure that each and every one of you have

many dedicated subscribers followers people who just view us and they're just on every time we go on we don't want to say thank you for your love and your continued support thank you so much and what are you going to show the new ones that are coming hey come on welcome to the family welcome to the family welcome what should they expect when they come to the channel then hey we're going to be pushing more content about not only Rwanda but different places that we plan on traveling in the near future and we're promoting the continent heavy because there's so much that people need to know understand and to see in reality things that are happening right now on the ground on this beautiful beautiful continent is it affordable to live in Rwanda absolutely absolutely I think that if people don't come and live above their means you know so it's much much more affordable than living in western in the west you know in the US in different places even Canada so it's very very affordable and what about is it safe to stay in here absolutely you know what I was blown away as a as a female right and even though I'm married you know just going around and looking and if we drive around at night you'll see individuals running and walk jogging at night and walking at night you know and I've even seen elders out and about at night you know that's within curfew though within curfew but yeah I was just blown away to see that I'm like wow okay and I don't hear anything about crime it is very safe because people ask that question is there a crime is it safe for a single female of course of course please love and lie to everybody we're in Bujambura and we had a place called new Viso Naviso and I think this is a good place we want to show you for those of you who are traveling solo or maybe a couple it's on a budget you know what have you learned so far since you came to the continent since we came to the continent I've learned just as she was saying you cannot trust the media you gotta see things with your own eyes definitely and is an eye-opening experience honestly you learn a lot through traveling more than people know because people always ask does she go to school what school is she in and I'm like y'all do you not know the things I'm learning just by traveling traveling is a whole education it is because you know I didn't know so many things exactly I was so ignorant I'm not gonna lie and when I started traveling I think I wasted my time in classroom I should have just been on the road from one country to another it's a whole university on its own you know what I have so many people watch me have never been on the continent if you should tell them something what are you gonna say for those of you that have never been here just know don't trust the media once again once again once again for yourself it's an eye-opening experience it's mind-boggling her favorite word it's a beautiful place it definitely is people are wonderful you learn so many things it's a wonderful experience sometimes I talked to so many African-Americans there was a time I wanted to sponsor an African-American kid to move to the continent just to visit and I found out that he doesn't have a passport wow so I couldn't even proceed to what I wanted to do because he's like I don't have a passport passport is something that I think every kid needs to have we have so many African diaspora that are looking for where to visit the continent or even move to the continent I mean you've been here you've been on the continent for two years and if you have something to tell them in terms of how they should prepare themselves and before they get here what would that message be? to prepare yourself I would say of course visit make your list visit wherever you think you want to go just visit first and see if that part place connects with you because what's for me might not be for you even though I know how wonderful it is here in Rwanda there's so many other places on this beautiful continent to visit and we intend to visit more but do visit and do your own homework and you know if you don't know something find someone who is there and ask questions you know because there are people who will up their entire life and move somewhere and then they're like I don't know if this was the right move so we always say we push visit visit first you know and do your homework write jot down questions that you might have like what is the educational system like if you have children what is the average cost for rent renting a house renting an apartment and we do provide webinars I do that so I educate people who need information to help them with those types of things so definitely do your homework first you know don't do that because I've seen people make mistakes like that and then they end up going right back to where they came from back in the states then they're like oh I wish I had but then it's too late you know this is an advice that you guys need to pay for but she's giving you all that for free and this is why I'm telling you to go and subscribe to that YouTube channel V. Turner said our family is looking to visit the next year and would like to inquire about any vacancies okay so I'm assuming you're sure okay the Airbnb you have any vacancies you see me raising my hand we have some so she said yes they have vacancies we've been on the continent for two years I mean what is your favorite food I mean food that whenever you say you'll be like happy to eat this zombie what is that I don't even know cassava leaves too oh cassava leaves oh wow yeah what about you same thing I like Dotto Dotto is the spinach yeah their version of spinach I love it I learned how to cook it and there's certain the way they do their their meats you know like the bruschettes yeah the bruschettes yeah and definitely all kambirossi yeah what are the things that do you think people need to prepare themselves for the challenges that they're going to face when they get to the continent okay I think a big challenge well here in Miranda transportation okay to be honest so I think that's your biggest cost transportation you know taking taxis yeah taking taxis like being that we are YouTubers we're always on the go so you know if they're different modes of transportation but if you're taking a taxi all the time you know if you have a big family you want to consider maybe purchasing a vehicle or bringing over your vehicle you know that kind of thing so if that's possible but that could be like a a small challenge I would say you can you can get things shipped you just have to know the regulations and all of that like how that all that works shipping is a problem worldwide right now worldwide so if you just leave in America going anywhere shipping is going to be an issue yeah and language language language language barrier language barrier yes so learning at least the language well enough to kind of get around being able to ask questions you know saying hello what is your name how much is this that kind of thing so definitely I would say learning Kenwandan if you're coming here and also Swahili Swahili is a big one because Swahili is going to be useful in many places on the continent so if you find a way to link up with someone and take classes or learn the language and definitely we also provide a service through our website there's a gentleman that shout out to him shout out to Patsu who actually teaches Kenwandan classes so if you're trying to come to Rwanda you can link up sign up through the website and take a class I know you blend a lot on the continent if you had a chance to change one thing on the continent what would it be? wow change change something change one thing I would say got a good one maybe a way for us as the diaspora to be able to settle a little easier on the continent different in different countries because I think that the pathway to come is you know still kind of how everybody does and it's like there are people who really want to be here you know our folks from the diaspora so I think making things a little easier and ways for us to settle and get things done yes a little quicker maybe that because there are so many of us who really come and want to work and to help and we come to get our hands dirty and to help build so I think that would be one thing I could think of and I hope these African leaders are going to listen to you but even in case if I ever become president that would be the first thing that I would change on the continent wow because you know Africa belongs to Africans but Africans home and Africans abroad I want to say thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful experience with me I really appreciate your time my name is Wadamaya it's by force to go subscribe to the YouTube channel and if you are new here please do me a favor subscribe and be part of this awesome family and you know what I'm going to see you in the next one I am Maya peace out
