How to Afford 2 Months in Africa 💰 | Black Women Expats

[@plastichouselady]

One more suggestion. Instead of purchasing a business class ticket, buy 2 economy seats next to each other. That's how I came to Africa when I moved here in 2021. Cheaper and you'll have more space.

[@checksanto]

Great suggestion

[@SuburbanKween]

Some guy did that on my flight to Nigeria last month. That's a great idea!

[@soulnspired888]

Can you bring an extra bag if you do that?

[@glossy283]

But whose information do you fill in for the extra seat?

[@TM-123]

Thanks 4 the tip

I’ll be moving to Kenya next year 😊

Hey Stephanie! TSA Precheck only helps with travel that originates in the US. But…Global entry helps streamline your entry back into the US. You can use kiosks or get into fast track lines for customs. Although I live abroad, Global entry is helpful because I do come back to the US. BTW Global Entry includes TSA Precheck.

[@spirittraveller7411]

Great advice.

[@LifeAfter50withTerree]

[@ConcreteRose22]

I just want to give a quick testimonial about the mindset SHIFT this video has given to me. I'm in my 30s and I'd never even considered planning the vacation of my dreams and then figuring out how to make it happen. I always did the "responsible" thing by working with the money I had left after everyone else got their cut. Then I'd wonder why I was having lackluster traveling experiences and coming home dissatisfied (while still spending lots of money, in reality). After watching this live, I planned my summer trip the Stephanie Perry way. I just booked LUXURY accommodations in Bonaire with spa add-ons and an upgraded Economy Plus flight (with Premier Access). And I still have money left over! Money is truly in abundance. Thank you Stephanie!! You deserve every bit of credit and success that comes your way. 💝 - Shanintra

[@rennie2611]

I’m still traveling on a budget, and stays in nice accommodation. Steph budget is basic upon her financial situation. Most don’t have $20k for vacation but have $5k, work with what you have.

[@demi5378]

Yes, please do or you won't go anywhere.

[@sharonivy888]

Plane ticket……$1500 Hotel/lodging…..$900 (8 days) Spending $1000 Not much different than traveling to Europe except hotels are way cheaper in Cape Town.

[@laurensanchez8063]

I’m highly considering going on this trip. I didn’t realize it was so cheap to travel to Africa. Thank you Stephanie for busting the myth that South Africa is expensive to travel to🌺

[@anyajuanrisco4016]

May everyone stay Blessed and I will see everybody in Cape Town, South Africa.

[@coachdonnaj]

I rent out my suite in Chapala when I am in the US. And I’ve been prepping a room in my home to rent out to traveling nurses here in the US. Current spaces are bringing in $1500/month.

[@lisalove395]

That’s a great idea…my friend’s AirBnB stays booked with traveling nurses.

Mauritius 🇲🇺 is nice I heard. It’s considered a holiday getaway spot for South Africans. It’s on my list.

[@thandisilec835]

Agreed, I’m South African and Mauritius is an easy place for South Africans to visit…stunning beachside resorts that are affordable on the South African Rand so you’d get way more with the USD and Euro. Also it’s not too far, it’s in southern Africa. Namibia, Swaziland and Lesotho also worth visiting…safe and beautiful countries with loads to see and are so close to SA

[@nelliehyder8303]

I have never heard of these airlines before. It's smart to go coach when the travel is not a long one. It saves money and unnecessary time. The British Lounge at Heathrow is splendid!! Good information. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your breakfast!😋😋😋😋

[@aimeepaterson4423]

You’re Absolutely CORRECT, Stephanie! Totally Worth It. But, If You Can (And Want To Try) British Airways First Class, London Heathrow To LAX Or SAN Diego Is Unbelievable!!! The Beds, Food & In-Flight Attention Is AMAZING! Couldn’t/Can’t Do Business Class Since. I Save Up, Wait Then 1st Class Travel. SO GOOD.❤️

[@YvetteLetter]

This is a great concept of backing into the budget. It’s how I bought a car, new roof, start at the end and work from there… didn’t cross my mind to use it here. Thank you for your learned perspective❤

[@chrissyannsway]

I want to go. This sounds absolutely amazing!!!!

[@melatn]

Very good point re not booking flights via third parties. Learned this the hard way last year when my flight was cancelled and third party didn't do anything. Best to book direct with airlines these days and using credit cards gives a bit more protection (at least in the UK) as bank is also liable if airline doesn't provide refund when flight is cancelled (known as Section 75 refunds in the UK). Thank you as always Stephanie

Stephanie, I visited J'Berg and Cape Town in 2018. Had a fabulous time by myself. Please look into taking the train between J'Berg and Cape Town. There are three levels of travel. The yellow train is the no- frills, no sleeper car train that the local people take. I took the purple train which has sleeper cars, showers, and Amtrak style meals in the dining room (included in the cost). There is a first class train, too. It's an overnight trip with very nice scenery during most of the trip. Of course, on the way back to J'Berg, someone stole some of the railroad tracks, so vans were sent to complete the journey.

[@dnwalker1971]

[@bronzevillema]

Of course?

[@memp9786]

I really Appreciate Stephanie's insight and experience but this trip you are planning to Africa does NOT match the budget of your target audience. That's great that you are earning the life of ease and luxury from your subscriber income that you no longer have to bootstrap and travel as affordably as you once did. A two month vacation is in the grasp of less than 1/10th of 1 percent of your viewership and I am disappointed that you are sharing your lavish tastes with black women who really want to see the world the way you once did without luxury comfort and requirements. You are no different than every coaching capitalist on KZbin selling dreams, Current Living expenses and Cambly will not afford the income for this kind of a trip and you know it.
