Extremely informative probably one of the best videos I’ve seen! 🙏🏽

ARTIST LIA SUGGESTS THREE PRIMARY + WHITE COLOUR ARE ENOUGH TO MAKE ANY ANY SKINTONE.. IT IS ALRIGHT BUT HAVING BURNT SIENNA ON THE PALLETTE WOULD BE MUCH BETTER I THINK. HER DEMONSTRATION IS REALLY USEFUL FOR ART STUDENTS.

Hey girl, awesome video thank you! What was the charity you did?

[@BhavyaBhandariADV]

Super super helpful!

[@amylouise5867]

Very helpful video, thanks so much for taking the time to do this 😊 we go in August, can I ask about tipping? Did you take the money with you to tip or keep it at the hotel x

[@fortheloveofhiking1778]

Carry it with you. You tip at the end. You can carry it in your daypack or lock it with a padlock in your duffel.

Hi Lia awesome video! I have a 26L hiking pack and was wondering if you think it would be big enough for the trek?

[@GenerousAfricantours]

Hi! It's enough incase for more information i can help

[@gagglesas]

Can i ask about photos/camera - did you just use your phone? and there was no issues with it being too cold at top / battery or dying too quickly?

[@LiaSophie]

I used my phone for most photos but I also took my canon G7x which I used to film my experience. Surprisingly I didn’t have any issues. I had my phone on airplane mode the whole time because I didn’t have a SIM card anyways, and I found the battery lasted ages. I brought 3 portable chargers with me but only ended up using one

[@gagglesas]

@@LiaSophie ah thank you! Really don’t want to buy a camera just for this trip but scared something will happen with my phone/ 30,000 wouldn’t be enough and I wouldn’t get photos haha

[@GenerousAfricantours]

Have you done with a Kilimanjaro climb? If you haven't so i can help

[@UCHIHAMADARADA]

[@derekfredeen1114]

You use a lot of abbreviations that I have never heard of. Ok DofE = Duke of Edinburgh. I lived in the UK for 10 yrs though…
