Border crossing NIGERIA to BENIN ! MISSION GHANA episode 1 - TRAVEL VLOG in AFRICA on a motorcycle

[@ryancourts2726]

Ure always smiling and laughing! Love it! And ure very polite

[@Ludo_Liu]

I try my best to give people respect and love thanks a lot for watching my dear, welcome to the channel once more !

[@philtymcnasty9994]

Africa never drives to perfection. How in the world are they allowing traders to choke the streets and the pavements or shoulders around the roads? The cumulative effect is the unimaginable traffic jams and long delays travelling from one point to the other. Safety is the least of their worries. How can you allow four people to sit on one motorcycle wearing no helmets? Madness!

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks a lot for watching and sharing your feelings

[@markpromise375]

It’s so fvckn unhealthy, the govt over there is worse than you can ever imagine.

Always delivers on the programme with that personal touch. So much better than some National Geographic or Discovery channel documentaries. Keep it coming, Ludo!

[@Ludo_Liu]

Wow, thank you, that s really touching

[@akiensio425]

With this mode of operation (cameras, narration, interaction with people, music etc.) I think we're going to experience an interesting ride all the way through. 👍 And your editing is excellent. Thank you!

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks so much for the constant support and the kind worrds... i really hope you will like the episodes coming soon

[@akiensio425]

What if you get yourself (kind of) business cards. In tight situations (7:12) you can hand it over and invite a person to visit your channel ... to see himself 🙂. Could ease the tensions ... I mean, the boss asked you, "give us something".

Greetings! A wonderful video of your awesome travels by motorcycle. Too bad you encountered the rain. I enjoyed in full to the 48:12 end. Thank you, my friend.

[@Ludo_Liu]

hello dave, that s a great pleasure to see you here once more. thanks so much for taking time to watch this adventure. I hope everything goes well on your side of the earth

[@ptseti]

@Ludo - i can NEVER get used to the chaos on the roads. I worry for you, I worry about an accident, I worry about your safety. Be careful How much was the petrol? I was wondering if u don't need petrol!

[@Ludo_Liu]

in Benin it is around 600 CFA for a liter

[@BirgerBreedveld]

Wieder eine tolle Fahrt Danke das wir mit Reisen dürfen Bin schon sehr auf den nächsten Teil gespannt!

[@Ludo_Liu]

[@Dream331]

Truly amazing journey Ludo Liu! I often wonder how do you know where to go especially when you’re driving thru those muddy areas? Are you using GPS? The fast motion moments gave me quite a jolt! 😂 You’ve got a lot of stamina to travel so far in one day. I’m glad you made it to the hotel safe. Seems like I remember that hotel from another one of your travels. Stay safe! Looking forward to the next video! 🙏🏾

[@Ludo_Liu]

Exactly, yes i stayed in that hotel during a previous trip, you have a good memory. It is nice and cheap (9500 CFA the night). That ride is very long, but i am kind of used to it, cause i crossed that border lots of time now. i don't use a GPS here, but in some cases when i don't know the road, i'll help myself with google map.... thanks a lot for being here and once more supporting this work. please feel free to share that video on your social network to help it reach more people

[@Dream331]

@@Ludo_Liu Nice! I knew that Hotel looked familiar. I can picture the last time you went there after eating a good meal and arriving at night if I remember correctly. I also remembered those beautiful orange roads in Benin. I’m excited for your trip and looking forward to when you arrive in Ghana. Wow! Take good care…

[@20minutevideo78]

that's what i hate ludo when i got flat tires specially at places far from vulcanizing.the rain its ok i carry raincoat everytime.i enjoy the adventures drive safe🇵🇭🙏♥️

[@lacdebienne47]

3:30 to 4:40 It seems that on this part of the road at least 3 people on a bike are mandatory... Mais deux sacs à dos sont également autorisés 🙃

[@Ludo_Liu]

hehehe, 4 is even better on the bike, and if your children are still young you can go up to 5 :) merci pour le soutien christophe

[@broking_ActsCh.8v.39]

From the start I knew I was in for a great ride! A short ride in the rain is refreshing, but a long ride in the rain is not fun. I imagine washing your feet with fresh rainwater, as the young woman was doing, is soothing. It was so uplifting to see enterprising young boys repairing your flat tire (although concerned that they were not in school - maybe it was the weekend?) Nice stop on the beach front. Enjoyed the seaside view on the left with palm trees. Room looks comfortable.

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks so much for watching brother, i really appreciate to see you are enjoying the videos from beginning till the end !

[@Binga7686]

This is amazing! I am in awe of your bike riding style and maneuvering. It’s like watching a formula one race. It’s fun going thru those narrow spaces. You seem very appreciative and respectful of the people and places. I am watching you from Pennsylvania and am so happy I found this channel. Thank you so much for sharing these places with us. I pray you travel safely.

[@Ludo_Liu]

Mr or Miss Binga, thanks a lot, reading such a comment just made my day, it will now be a very sweet day whatever what's happening. I am happy you found the channel too, i wonder how you did find it... I am also so glad you enjoyed the video as well as the immersive feeling while driving ! thaks so much for your very kind words, hope you will like the other episodes of that trip, i am now already in Ghana, you have few episodes to catch up if you want to :)

[@Binga7686]

I have been binge watching some of your videos from a year ago. As I am recovering from surgery I find your channel so wonderful for healing. I watch channels about visiting other countries as I am unable to travel for a while but none have ever taken me thru people and places. It’s where I find it most fascinating that you are able to reach out into the natural places of the country. It’s not tourist destinations it’s real life and as I am retired I now have ideas of what and where I need to learn more about. You just captured what I have been searching for. It’s cold and dreary here right now but I feel sunshine watching you. Thank you.

[@robertotieno5638]

I have been watching your videos for years now and I have loved your compilation. But the current compilations since you came up with multiple cameras spoils the immersion that we used to have in your older videos whereby it was the road and your face when narrating. Right now you show too much of you a which kills the travel feel that we used to have. When one watched your videos back then even if it's one hour you feel like you were in the journey but right now with the camera switching off the road and back to you in less than 5sec just spoil the whole thing. Can you work on it since you are the best African bike ride documentary KZbinr that I rate next to Itchy Boots of Netherlands. Bring the immersion back. Put us focused more on the road sceneries than on you and the bike. Thank you.

[@Ludo_Liu]

thanks a lot Robert for your support, your care , and your concern. i appreciate to read such a feedback. I 200 percent understand your point of view. An d that s kind of normal, cause yes the content is evolving in the way you described. It is not easy to adjust, and keep being consistant as well as creative and still entertaining for the viewers. Actually, during the first months or years, before i started to show up a little, people have always asked me to come in front of the cam, to add some interaction with people, to personalize the channel. I also felt ready to try. Yes the immersion feeling, is not the same, or not here as in the previous videos, and i agree here. It doesn't mean these 100 percent immersive drives will disappear from the channel. the plan is to keep uploading more of them.

[@robertotieno5638]
