HELLO FROM COUNTRY #172 - ERITREA!

I'm thrilled to be back in Africa where I will spend the remaining 3 months of the year! Many of you probably haven’t heard of Eritrea before and that’s because it’s a relatively new country and it’s notoriously difficult to enter (top 5 in the world). After 48 hours of roaming around the capital of Asmara and the ancient port city of Massawa, I’ve really enjoyed my time here.

I’m getting flashbacks to when I was in Ethiopia, yet also touches of Yemen Somaliland and Italy. Yes - ITALY! Eritrea is a former Italian colony and their influence is remarkably well-preserved in the form of giant cathedrals, pizza parlors, gelato shops, old Italian cars, appertivos and many people can still speak fluent Italiano.

The capital of Asmara is VERY safe, with kind-hearted people and surprisingly the weather is cold here (2,400 meters high). Unfortunately due to WiFi issues, I haven't been able to upload anything until now, but there’s no hurry because life is wonderful here! More to come soon ????????

How Safe Is Eritrea for Travel?

Full safety review:


Eritrea is a country located in East Africa, squeezed in between Djibouti and Sudan, sharing a long border with Ethiopia which has been the source of many disputes.

Its northeastern and eastern parts have an extensive coastline along the Red Sea.

Apart from this, it boasts rich wildlife and many rare species, but what attracts tourists to this country is the breathtaking scenery at the outskirts of the country.

You can also enjoy its capital as Asmara today is the so-called poster capital for cleanness, tranquility and architectural style.

If you venture to Asmara right away, you will end up truly in awe of its architecture, public buildings, villas and mansions of Art Deco.

Overall, Eritrea is safe to visit if you avoid some parts of the country. Still exercise caution as petty and violent crimes do exist although they aren't too common.

(continue) Explore Eritrea

Eritrea gained independence from Ethiopia in 1993 after a 30-year-long armed struggle. The country has a diverse population consisting of several ethnic groups, with Tigrinya being the largest ethnic group. Other ethnic groups include Tigre, Saho, Bilen, and others. The official languages of Eritrea are Tigrinya, Arabic, and English.

Eritrea has a varied landscape, including the highlands, the Great Rift Valley, and coastal plains. It experiences a predominantly dry climate with two seasons: a dry season from October to May and a wet season from June to September. Agriculture is an important sector in the country, with most of the population engaged in subsistence farming.

In recent years, Eritrea has faced various challenges, including political tensions, human rights concerns, and economic difficulties. It has been criticized for its lack of political freedoms, restrictions on freedom of the press, and compulsory national service. However, it's important to note that my information is current only until September 2021, and the situation may have evolved since then.

Inside Africa's North Korea: How It Really Is ???????? (#174)

You may not have heard of this country, but perhaps you’ve seen it by another name: “the North Korea of Africa”. But that doesn’t quite tell the full story. There’s nowhere like Eritrea in Africa, or in the world for that matter. It’s a place where everyone must serve in the military, a place where most people have never used the internet, and a place where people have to stay in their lane, or else. But it’s also a country of extremely friendly and welcoming people. It’s very safe, you can walk any street in the country without a care in the world. And it’s extremely beautiful—while also remaining relatively undiscovered by the outside world.

This was one of the trips I was most excited for. It took almost 2 months to secure the visa, but once I got it, I was on my way to Asmara, the capital. This is the record of my journey.

10 Wacky Things About TURKMENISTAN

✅ SUBSCRIBE for More Travel Videos:
???? Get My Top 100 Travel Pics FREE!

It's been a wild several days in Turkmenistan. In my opinion, this is (by a long shot) the world's most bizarre country.

In this video, I explain the 10 strangest things that I find about Turkmen culture -- from the thousands of white-marble buildings to the shockingly empty streets, a massive fire crater in the desert that hasn't stopped burning for 50 years, and the heavy censorship of the internet.

Turkmenistan is essentially the North Korea of Central Asia. Both the capital cities of Pyongyang and Ashgabat feel eerily similar when walking around. The only major difference is that the people of North Korea are oppressed, whereas the people of Turkmenistan seem to be warm, friendly, and hospitable.

Please share any thoughts/comments/questions about Turkmenistan and I'll be happy to answer!
