    Great vlog showing the beauty of Namibia! Namibia is an incredible country. I've been twice now and wouldn't mind going back again as there's just so much to explore.

    Enjoyed this video. It is so relaxing and interesting to explore these amazing places with you. Namibia was beautiful. How do u find these gems, Trip Advisor or by word of mouth? I read that Namibia has a relatively high crime rate, so is Washington, DC...Thank u for showing the food. I like to taste the local cuisine when I visit new countries. Looking forward to the next part. I hope you are all wearing sun protection. Thank you. Watching from Maryland.

      We do a lot of research to find out about these places and then sometimes it’s just as we go along that people tell us where we should go. The next video is exactly that...we weren’t planning to go towards the coast but a nice couple at a gas station told us how beautiful it was so we decided to take the drive and see for ourselves.
      Definitely wearing sunscreen. 😉
      Trying the local cuisine is a highlight although we didn’t try those insects I showed. 😂😂😂

      My dear. Namibia is not realy a crime ridden Country. The. place where they went for church service is in Central bussiness district. The people around that church is more homeless people loittering around there. That's why she said it was wierd. I can promise you we are a peaceful multicultural country. Try and visit after the covid then you come and see for yourself

    I have to add when i ate in remote places like in the US in the 50s-60s i lost weight eating that food in desert areas in western US, and on the road it said water polluted don't drink it and the Arizona temp 125* and passing death valley you don't slow down, and pray your car keeps going.and once going to Florida with two friends my car broke down and sold it on the road and we got a lift to bus station to Miami, and coming back we drove somebody's car back.

    Namibia used to be German West-Africa and then South-West Africa before the elections in 1990 when it became Namibia. The German influence is still very strongly imbedded in the architecture and food & café culture.

      We had an amazing time going through your homeland. I do travel with my husband though. He just doesn’t like to be on camera. We found that so interesting to see the German influence in Swakopmund.

    • @wernerbloemwagen6878
      @wernerbloemwagen6878 4 роки тому

      @@GrowingUpWithoutBorders : there are still a lot of Germans living in Namibia and thousands upon thousands more that visit, especially Swakopmund, annually. My great grandparents were German, but we grew up Afrikaans - the majority of people are actually still Afrikaans (close to Dutch & Vlaamse) but the new Government only speaks English. We just love the "nothingness" and wide open spaces of Namibia. Keep safe and enjoy your travels. GOD BLESS.

    yeah, it is countrywide - you cannot buy alcohol. The reason being that we are a predominantly (around 92% of the population) Christian. But you can consume alcohol in a restaurant or your own home on a Sunday. Also drinking in the streets is prohibited at all times.

  • @magyarsrac100
    @magyarsrac100 3 роки тому

    This is not meant as a dig, particularly since I don't know your specific circumstances. However, "going where the wind takes you" is not exactly challenging when you have the cash to stay in decent hotels, buy food, rent vehicles, get a SIM card as soon as you enter a country (lol) etc., etc. My backpacking years in the late nineties were a whole different experience - e.g. will I find a cheap hostel, will my fellow train passengers share a bite of food with me since I hadn't eaten in 20 hours, will I get arrested for sleeping on a sidewalk, can I learn to communicate basic needs in a foreign language in a few hours rather than after studying it for a few months, etc.? Just my take on the subject...

    Right at the beginning of the Video you said you can feel the UV of the desert: surely you meant Infra Red (IR). Anyway I agree that the (re-)radiation is intense. Your accent does not sound South African to me; Perhaps Canadian? (English is not my first language - so I may be totally wrong)

      We go everywhere in America. I'd say that I prefer the West though. Colorado all the way to California. And beyond... Hawaii. I'm European, my wife Canadian. There's plenty to see in Europe and North America. We do venture occasionally elsewhere too - Central America, islands off the coast of Africa and on our list are China and Japan.
      But I'll never go to India, Thailand and the end likes....
      Zanzibar and Madagascar are possible options though despite what I say about Africa.
