    Drew, while sailing across the Indian Ocean in 1995 I got thrown overboard into the ocean and fishermen found me floating in the mid sea and saved my life to the Comoros Island of Anjouan. At dinner with the deputy governor on the big island, Moroni, and feeling overwhelming gratitude for saving my life I made a promise to them that I will name my first child after the Island of Comoros. His wife said to name her Anjouan, since that is the Island I was saved to. My 15 year old daughter's name is Anjouan.
    My love for the (my) people of the Comoros is beyond imagination. I will give my life for my people of The Comoros any second without a thought.

    About Djibouti: you must have visited in the midst of something unusual because it's not heavily guarded like this. Also, I'm not sure whether you had a guide because unfortunately you must have seen only the poor side of Djibouti. Djibouti has a massive gap between the rich and the poor, probably unlike you've ever seen. The rich live in absolute luxury while the poor live in outright poverty. The middle class almost non-existant. A ton of countries have an army base in Djibouti which explains in part why it's so expensive, namely the US which occupies a large part...Djibouti is a blatant example of modern day colonialism.

I am from the U.S and my parents were Peace Corps volunteers for 3.5 years in the 1980's in Vaitupu, Tuvlau before I was born. My first name, Riana, is actually the name of the prime minister's wife (Tomasi and Riana Puapua) at the time! I visited Tuvalu with my mom when I was 18 and I remember playing on the air strip. As you can see in the video, Tuvalu is laid back and peaceful.

    I know this is being pedantic, but *technically* Comoros is the 170th LARGEST country, not the 170th smallest, because that would be the 27th largest at the same time and that's Bolivia

      You're not being pedantic. When you are an influencer like this dude, you have a responsibility to spend a bit of time reviewing your copy before recording and publishing.

    Comoros and Djibouti are my neighbours here, I have heard of them. Besides I can speak swahili I see alot of language similarities.

      Comoros look like mostly Djiboutians and Somalians and Ethiopians.

    Wonderful! I grew up collecting stamps so of course ive heard of these places - but nice to be finally putting a face with the name lol.
    Sounds like you are living your best life - thank you for sharing!
    (Pro-tip - if you want your kids to grow up to be 'smart', encourage them to collect stamps. I cant tell you how many times in my life I've been asked "how did you know that?" And I always answer "Doesn't everybody?")

      In fourth grade we got our first and only world geography books. In case I forgot anything, a friend bowled me over by showing me his stamp collection (his mom worked in an international bank), and I could never resist collecting ever since. So I learned not only about Djibouti, but Obock too, across the bay from the city of Djibouti. They issued some flashy stamps in the 1890s for collectors. It has popped up here and there since then. Teilhard de Chardin stopped there on his way to China to visit French friend and family. A while back the US established military bases there. The country of Djibouti was called French Somaliland before independence.
