I found gold in the Sahara desert (Sudan 🇸🇩)

[@FlorenceRyan]

Hi friends, thanks for watching!! This was one of my favourite sections of the trip so far and I loved making this video. My expectations of Sudan were completely shattered upon arriving. The reality was so surprising, and that’s not even all of it! I have 3 more episodes coming from Sudan. 😌 Sadly, the state of the country changed just after we left and today, it is completely war torn. I’m grateful to have been able to witness it during peace and hope that it will be restored soon. Hopefully this video shows you a different side to Sudan that you might have known before. 🙏🏼🕊️ If you enjoy my work and would like to help me bring more stories to life, please consider supporting me on Patreon!

[@moazal-gak7026]

I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart on behalf of all the Sudanese people... We would be honored to to have you back again with us once the war is ended and thank you again for sharing our story with the world

[@snyderwillber9082]

This is AMAZING Flo! Keep doing what you’re doing, I really hope you get the views you deserve 🤞🏼

[@FlorenceRyan]

Thank you Bernardo!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@abdirahimmahdi3401]

I can't imagine how it ended so quickly while I was enjoying watching it. Flo you’re the best!

[@FlorenceRyan]

Thank you! More episodes coming soon 🥰

[@jesse79324]

What a great video! Loved every second and learned a lot. I can't believe the courage you've shown to trust that you will have enough food and water. And the skill and adaptability in speaking the local languages, storytelling, and building relationships is incredible. I love watching the journey. Thank you for sharing.

[@BsBsBock]

You're probably the first person with a France Passport who speaks fluent accent free English, deeeeeep deep respect from me

[@FlorenceRyan]

I’m also English 😂

[@BsBsBock]

@@FlorenceRyan ohhh so the unimaginable didn’t happen 😂

[@canberracanuck1963]

Beautiful, life-affirming work, Flo! It seems so bizarre to me that you met Tim, someone also cycling across Africa at the same time. It’s great that you are meeting so many good people 🌍

[@FlorenceRyan]

Thank you! Yes, it’s amazing the kind of people you meet when you do things out of the ordinary, lots of extraordinary people haha! Tim was great 🙌🏼

[@MoLetsGo]

This is amazing. This should be on TV!! First video i have ever watched from the start to the end 🤣 goodluck! Am tuned in!! 💙

[@FlorenceRyan]

Wow, thank you! There’s more coming soon :) Have you seen my previous episodes?

[@ameraibrahim9535]

Drought is finally over been waiting for new vids lol!! Thanks for bringing us along your adventures, Flo and really enjoyed watching this. I'll be sharing this to my Sudanese friends and hope it brings comfort to them. Can't wait for the next episodes! ❤

[@Joseph-on7nf]

Such a well structured video I can't understand how you do this all hy yourself and especially when you're still traveling. It's just mind blowing

[@iwouldprefernotto4381]

This is so beautiful and life-affirming and makes me want to embark on another adventure of my own, which is the highest praise I can give. You’re so curious and inquisitive - but also show so much respect to the people you meet, which is why you end up having these cool interactions with gold hunters and find the good moonshine liquor! Also the woman at the end who waned to be filmed was so adorable, what a gorgeous soul.

[@FabledCity]

You speak French, English, Arabic and Hindi! Very impressive and makes for great content.

[@FlorenceRyan]

Thanks!

[@RobertoHelou]

Love the video, and how many little scenes and parts you've added! What a magical place. Really sad that the country is now at war, these people deserve the world.

[@Ma-rm9uo]

Looking forward to the next episodes as I’m learning a lot of fascinating new things about Sudan. Thank you❤

[@ramlahassan7364]

I recently came across one of your tiktok videos of cycling across Africa, and ever since I’m hooked to your channel love it. What a journey you guys been through, can’t wait to see more of your adventures. ❤

[@Abraracourix]

Araqi or arrack is basically pure ethyl alcohol made from potatoes or other vegetables or fruits. The flavor comes from what they use to make it. It’s like 95% alcohol content and can kick your ass. They call it Everclear or Moonshine in the US and Raki in Turkey. It’s pure alcohol.

[@evagogoirajkumari3848]

This is sooo inspiring I’m amazed and so happy to have ran into your channel! I was wondering if it’s important to be multilingual to do the same thing. I’m super interested

[@FlorenceRyan]

Thank you! No, it's not essential but it helps to know a few words to connect with locals and have deeper connections. I always try to learn from them. If you watch my new video you'll see how I tried learning Nubian :)

[@beatricekryan]

Very good very nice

Thanxyou

[@siddiqalam108]

Nice video, small correction women don’t build houses in Sudan traditionally except people of western Sudan as their culture is more west and Central African than Islamic or Arab culture which prevails in the north, east, and middle of the country, the people and families you met are from western Sudan hence the women building the houses.

[@FlorenceRyan]

Thanks for the information! I know it’s not all women, that’s why I specified “women here” :)

Can't wait to edit them soon! Need to finish a few before but there's amazing videos coming. Thanks for your patience!

[@joellehmann]

I'm not sure it's someone else has commented on this, @FlorenceRyan, but are you aware that by publicly showing the faces and location of people who are engaging in a legally prohibited activity (in the country), you might be endangering them to being penalized? Please be cautious about this, unless you have certainty about the consequences, I would edit this, you're playing with real people's lives. It could bring damage even a long time after publishing the video. Otherwise the video is amazing and makes me want to visit Sudan again.

[@itzhaneenlord864]
