  • Hey homies! Here's what I spend in a day living as an American in Cape Town South Africa. The American dollar goes very far here so I wanted to make this video of what I spend in a day not to brag, but to show my American following how much you can do here for so little. Let me know if you have any videos you want me to do in Cape Town before I leave in the comment section below!

    Might be a $2 Uber but you cannot compare as South Africans get paid low wages. It is a cheap holiday destination though because of the exchange rate

    • @sierralafaye

    I picked up a negative energy from you on your first videos about Cape Town. It kinda felt like you were looking down upon us and our cities in general.

    • @sierralafaye
      @sierralafaye  Рік тому +13

      Sorry that u got that impression-I’m coming from a completely different side of the world where many things work a lot differently than what I’m used to; so you have to expect some frustration when someone is striped from their norm to a new way of living. It was also my first week here so I was very exhausted as I was getting adjusted to the time change. But I would never look down on a country! Especially when it’s apart of the continent I came from! It’s been nothing but an honor for me to be here and every day I’m falling more in love here!

      Make sure u take a photo of all ur cards/IDs/passports just to be on the safe side if they get lost or stolen. Also make sure u have ur phone backed up some way. You should be fine but the petty theft there is pretty crazy and my friend ended up getting her bag stolen so it’s better to be safe than sorry!
