Thank you. It’s a touch journey but it’s worth it.

My biggest challenge in Sierra Leone was finding suitable bathrooms. A good business for public toilets would be an excellent addition for getting around town and the motorway - like restops with clean bathrooms.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

ah yes. I can imagine that for a woman. That is a good business idea. Its needed.

[@missgreen3916]

Thar has always been my thoughts. Public toilets are so important!!! We need more in SL ❤️

Coming to Sierra Leone avoid eating cold food. Try to eat warm food for proper hygiene.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Good point. Thanks for adding that note.

[@africian2417]

Nice video from your subscriber in Ghana 🇬🇭

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thanks bro. ✊🏿🇬🇭

[@chimakalu41]

19:31 You both did a good job. Are both of you related or both of you are dating? Lol. You both make a very good team. A Nigerian 🇳🇬 brother said so.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Haha. Neither. We are just friends who both are from Sierra Leone and do content. Thanks for the compliment.

[@chimakalu41]

@@AuthenticAfrican ok.well done you two

[@AuthenticAfrican]

🙏🏿

[@nanaaraj]

I’m a Ghanaian from London but I have a Sierra Leonean friend from church. She speaks Krio. I learnt our foods are similar since we have peanut soup, jollof etc. We hardly talk about our cultures. I think even though we’re African but have different cultural backgrounds. Maybe she may not relate so there’s not so much connection. So I thought to watch this to learn about your people and culture. I want to also try Sierra Leonean food but how can I have this discussion with her?

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Yes the foods can be similar (especially peanut soup). I have these types of conversations here in Ghana all of the time. I see something that looks familiar and mention that we do the same. If there is something that I see different I mention that as well. You both should try each other's foods more often. I would also recommend talking about dating, career opportunities, development in the country etc. There is much in common but there are some major differences too.

[@msnisey2616]

Great information I’m a pescatarian so very helpful 🥰 I’m visiting next month how should I pack when visiting & to bring back souvenirs should I bring an empty suitcase 😁

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoy!

[@issasesay5720]

How do you navigate eating out as a vegan? I am vegan as well.I am partly Senegalese and Sierra Leonean living in the U.S and intend to visit this December.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Appetizers and sides. Fries, Potatoes, veggie spring rolls, Pita Bread and Hummus. There is not much else you can really eat out. However, I have a housekeeper who cooks vegan friendly West African dishes.

[@issasesay5720]

@@AuthenticAfrican Amazing... I do cook most of my meals as well, but you know there is the urge to eat out when you travel. That's why I was asking.

[@Mariamaforbes]

I can be so dramatic! But their are some shocking things going on in Sierra Leone lol

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Lol. You are. But it makes for good content

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Lol. she's just being her.

[@Mariamaforbes]

@SOURCESTV GHANA and i love myself for that! Thanks for watching

[@rurumg2322]

Mariama Forbes, can you please explain the shocking things going on in Sierra Leone? I want to know. Planning to visit. I’ll appreciate your views.

[@Bshorts3241]

Don't just exercise patience....just forget about time! It's actually very freeing.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thats true. You are right about that.

[@jackjackson4412]

Great tips!!! They will come in handy when I come to SL. What do you recommend in terms of money that have on you like when coming from the USA? How much money do you generally carry on you in a normal day as a tourist?

[@AuthenticAfrican]

Thanks. Glad you found them helpful. I tend to carry Le 400k - 1M which is about $40-$100. Make sure you have a shoulder bag or something of the sort to carry your valuables in.

[@peterturayjr1209]

"I dae cam" can even mean an hour or 2 sometimes.🤦🏽‍♂️😳 Best way to navigate that is to keep yourself occupied or run your own errands in Freetown/SL or your local district whilst waiting for the person to come.👌🏽

[@AuthenticAfrican]

I de tell you. 2 hours for sure😂😂😂😂😂. good option to kill time.

[@eaglesfly2457]

I actually spend more money in Salone in a day than the U S. In the U S. if I have gas in my car and food in the house I can go for days without speeding. Salone is expensive in my own opinion .

[@AuthenticAfrican]

you have to be careful. It can add up but less expensive for me than the US.

[@fabianl9291]

You fool Salon ist cheaper then the US

[@TruthAndLight4995]

Yep, my DNA test must be accurate because I have a hard time being on time 😂

[@AuthenticAfrican]

lol. Its an issue for sure. However, you just get used to it.

[@deeeasmon4894]

Correction Salone has 3 weather seasons, Dry, Rainy and Hamatan season.

[@AuthenticAfrican]

ok thats fair

[@KelsAcosta]

Smart man, the street food will get you 9/10 times bro .. i know you used to eat the halal food here in tha city lol

[@AuthenticAfrican]

It can be a problem if you are not careful😂😂😂
