  • Instead of driving to IKEA like a normal person, I decided to go there by UBER and try to squeeze a new mattress and some other random furniture into the car. It worked for me when I walked across the street to the mall to get things for my kitchen, so why not. Here's me trying to furnish my new, old, apartment condo and finally moving into my new home here in in Kyiv, Ukraine.

    It is so strange watching your videos now, knowing the horror that is going on in Ukraine as we speak. I have been enjoying your story. I hope your places somehow survive ok. I know you got out ok. I am so sad for the people of Ukraine. You really showed in your videos how beautiful these cities are (were).

    If I had vlogged moving in to my brand new apartment in Tunisia it would have given this video a huge run for its money. I rented with only $100 down and roughly $375 for the first month's rent. BRAND NEW, never lived in two bedroom flat on the third floor of a new building over a new Carrefour!! It was a bit of a pain navigating the utilities and shopping for a flat top range, refrigerator and furniture. But it all worked out great and for the 4 months I stayed there I slept on a sponge on the floor and had WiFi from the coffee shop downstairs. I really miss Tunis. 2 hours from Istanbul. These videos bring me back to my travels through Istanbul to Tunisia and Nigeria.
