I am in a 65-year-old Cape Tonian; medically retired and mostly in my home. Thanx for the chance to look at our awesome sights which I can't visit anymore. I was a Tourism teacher at high school taking my learners to the many attractions that I now can only watch on YT. Enjoy your life bro. Keep in mind that most UA-camrs are NOT showing the hidden gems of SA.
South Africa is beautiful and the people and food are excellent. My British partner can certainly agree with you. I know so as I live and work in the UK as a South African.
Cheers to you...Make your life journey a daily adventure....Grow and be blessed as you traverse through it all. That is the best you can do....Congrats for taking a leap of faith.
Welcome to SA brother. Cape Town is great no doubt but hey this country is blessed with many unique beauties don't hesitate to enjoy them. The beauty of it is that the people are friendly from East, West, North and South!
A lot of black men don't consider the true birthplace of Black America when they move to the continent, Nigeria. It's the fourth largest economy on the continent, with a per capita GDP in excess of $800 and some of the best real estate on the planet. Ekko Atlantic will soon overtake Sandton in Johannesburg, and Clifton Beach in Cape Town as the best places for rich young black men to live, within our children's lifetimes, if not within our grand children's lifetimes. Consider Nigeria. Consider home.
Welcome to our beautiful country! We love it when new arrivals get why we South Africans are so passionate about our land. Hope you continue to be happy here
You look like a South African. Welcome. My son got his masters in Entomology and honors in Zoology at UP. One of the best universities in the world. Education is much cheaper in South Africa. UP outrank many American Universities. In addition our medical aid insurance is very affordable and you don't have to wait months on end to see a specialist or book tests. I saw my Rheumatologist and on the same day got all my test done within 3 hours. They also have more time for you.
Haha thank you, and awesome to hear- yeah from what I've seen the quality of education here is great. And I've had a better experience with healthcare here too compared to back home
Aww man the missing family and friends part.🫶 Been looking forward to another video from you and I'm so happy that you're still keeping well in our country, may this year be good to you. 😊✨️
It is a very brave and bold thing to move continents. You should be proud of yourself. You will not run out of things to do or places to see. I am exploring our country quite often and each time am more blown away by the beauty and the abundance of slow living options with a kick😀 I'm in Port Elizabeth and we are fortunate in that we on the coastal side, travelling around town takes a few minutes and there is just endless gems you can pick up in the surrounds. You are more than welcome to let me know if you come out this side and I will be happy to guide or help as best I can. i wish you many years of happy memories and may you experience our kind nature as a people . Welcome to Mzansi
@@Frankiewithacam Perfect. There is so much to do and see on your way via the Garden Route though. We are extremely fortunate. Maybe try and check out Klipgat Caves at Walker Bay Reserve and if you like some extreme stuff you can try out the Shark Cage Diving. I did both just over a week ago and it was beyond awesome.
@Frankiewithacam you will not regret it. It's a short drive from Cape Town and you'll be once again spoilt for choice as you pass Hermanus. Wear sneakers when you get to the reserve. There's a lot of stairs going down before you reach the caves and you'll need a steady footing inside these caves there's many.....it's breath taking. Watch the tide before you enter and try to go with a group......also, please read reviews from previous visitors to all the places you want to visit. It's never guaranteed but it helps a lot when you a bit prepared. I wish you many beautiful adventures
Welcome to our beautiful city - I have lived overseas in two different countries for a few years, so can relate to the missing friends/family. I am glad however to be back in Cape Town - all the best with channel. South Africans are generally very welcoming, so hope you meet lots of new friends for life.
Good video. Thanks for the insight. I'm in Cape Town about 6 weeks out of the year, but i'm thinking about moving there full-time towards the end of this year or next year (third option on my list currently).
@@Frankiewithacam Gaborone, Windhoek, Port Elizabeth, Joburg, Durban, or Nairobi. Heading to East London in a few days. We'll see how I like that city.
@@travelconnect1 East London is not for everyone. Very quiet and nothing much to do. scenery and weather is good, can get a bit windy. City is dirty but the suburbs are very nice. The people, wow, i might say even better than Cape Town. So friendly. Durban is great. I love it, a lot to do but gets very hot and humid in Summer, ie December and January. but the winters are mild, I would say there is no winter in Durban. And the beaches, wow. The best beaches in SA for sure, and you can visit them throughout the year, even in "Winter". JHB is fast paced, Big, and perfect for nightlife. Not very scenic, and Winters are very cold. Bonus is its a just a 5 hour drive to Durban.
@@Frankiewithacam You must explore the west coast towns like St Helena Bay, Jacobs baai, Yzerfontein, Paternoster, Saldanha Bay, Langebaan,Veldrift, etc Very small and unique. The furthest is 2 hours from Cape Town.
Welcome to the Mother City. You have made your best decision to move here. Thank you for your beautiful testimony of our most beautiful city and 1 of the mist beautiful cities in the world.
You made a good move hope South Africans will treat you and welcome you to the Aftican soil may God protect you and keep you well thanx for our good food enjoy it😂😂😂😂😂❤
@@Frankiewithacam if you don't mind my asking.....where does this idea come from that us Africans hate black Americans. I've personally seen these comments from black Americans that we hate them.
Welcome Welcome✌hope you enjoying everything that CPT has to offer, once you settled in. Take a trip to Johannesburg. Im sure you would enjoy the northern suburbs like (Sandton, Midrand, Rivonia) but also take a tour of JHB city (Goldreef City has the hop on hop off tour bus). I stay in JHB South (Winchester Hills), you welcome to come for a braai, lekker chop and dop😅🤙
@@FrankiewithacamDon't go to those dangerous places. I'm South African, lived in Cape Town for 4 years and I never went to those places. They have nothing to offer at all.
@@Frankiewithacam Firstly welcome to ZA and its indeed a beautiful country we live in however, please do not visit the cape flats areas/northern suburbs as its dangerous out here. Kinda shocked some people in the comments would advise you to check out these areas knowing how dangerous it is invested with gang related activities/retaliation and murders on a daily basis - so basically the typical gang related violence you find anywhere else in the world ( I live in the northern suburbs by the way and know these areas) its even more dangerous for foreign people, best advice is to thoroughly research areas before exploring, The Mother City however is much safer. May God protect and bless you as you embark on your journey in this beautiful country my brother❤
I hope everything is well with you. I’m a UA-cam thumbnail designer, and I’m passionate about creating high-quality, brand-centered thumbnails that draw in viewers. I can create a sample for you to evaluate. If it meets your needs, we can talk about working together long-term. Looking forward to your response!
Bruh here I am trying to get in to the United States of America and leave SA behind, and here you are already in SA leaving The United States of America behind🤣🤣 Weird how the world works.
I love capetown it is truly the most beautiful city in the world did my university there and celebrated by birthday last year September . I always love going there 🙌🏾🤌🏾

Yup I saw that just recently! I really believe so
Certainly agree🙏🙏♥️🌷💖🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Thanks, I’ve been to a few but still plenty to visit
What do you mean "prematurely live in Cape Town"😅
@@xolisamayaphi9181 typo error
Wait until he gets to Jozi 😂... he will be saying "Cape Town was great but Jozi is something else"
Church can be a place to meet people and safe space for interaction and familyhood
At the location like Gugulethu
Thanks!
Go visit mossel bay,.pletterberg bay and so on for easter holiday
safari ..sabi sands ..
tell us about Stellenbosch ...
Saldanabay
Been to both, gorgeous
You have not seen nothing yet.. please come to the Overberg. SA will make you forget home
I’ve been and it’s beautiful, I need to go back and properly explore, it’s massive
New Sub.. Wecome to SA
Awesome thank you!
Welcome to SA......you have to visit the garden route
Thank you, I’ve driven it a couple of times, it’s gorgeous, I should do a full video on it
You made the right decision you are home having saying that it's bcoz your ancestors are here in the African continent 👌
are you not going to talk about our beautiful South African weather, Frankie?
Haha of course it’s fantastic
The b-roll 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you 🙏🏾
I bought the t-shirt u r wearing last week at Archive
Nice! It’s a great shop
I get u and agree with you I just think there are more maybe even better opportunities in the US, not for all but for those who want it.
Welcome
Thank you 😁

Hey Frankie.hoe you been brother..it's been a while?holla at me if you want some cape Malay food.
truth yes you bring your baggage with you forsure....you can be in the most idylic place if you have issues you wont enjoy it......
What you are seeing is some of the reason why Tik Tok was banned in the US for 12 hours
Do people think you coloured in Cape town?
Often yeah
The number of Americans in S.African is increasing. I never thought you guys would cope in Africa,I guess you were fed wring info in the beginning.
We definitely get misinformed about SA
Mother City more beautiful and safety compare to Philly
Why are yall moving to Cape Town?
People relocate to other cities, countries, continents for many different reasons. There are also South Africans moving to the US, UK etc.
Because the other large cities in SA are shitholes.
😂😂😂 Cpt is its own country, come live in Johannesburg 😮
Whilst you are in Africa try to visit other African Countries
I’ve visited a few, I’ll be posting about those very soon
No.. we say: to believe the American dream.. you got to be asleep..lol
Have you ever been to Gugulethu, Nyanga, Phillipi, and the other Coloured (mixed blood) areas
I have not, do you think I would enjoy it?
@@FrankiewithacamDon't go to those dangerous places. I'm South African, lived in Cape Town for 4 years and I never went to those places. They have nothing to offer at all.
