The guy who was showing you around tried to bargain with the barber on the price to be ksh. 200 (2 dollars) claiming that you are 'his person' which in Swahili is 'mtu wangu' because you chew khat together; but the barber did not accept. The barber instead charged you ksh. 500 (5 dollars) which in Kenya we say, 'umegongwa' (overcharged). BTW, that's my hometown.
The guy who tried to bargain for Kurt to get a cheaper haircut is my bro and it's typical of him to be generous sometimes to a fault...

Kurt always gets the sickest cuts in the most random, decadent and remote barber shops you could find meanwhile i struggle to find a good one in my first world country. This really speaks loud about the effort we put into things
@@RockBrentwood - what are you on about? Hair, evolutionary speaking, is to keep the body warm, in a hot environment hair is counter-intuitive... And beside that, what kind of haircut can protect you from the sun? 🤣
The facf that Kurt hasn't been mugged or kidnapped from visiting all these dodgy places is mind boggling. I want to see in interview where Kurt tells us about all the scaries situations that happened behind the camera.
Kurt takes everything in stride. He is physically strong and fit, fast and has trained a bit in MMA so he can protect himself. Besides he's silver tongued and smart. He's actually hilarious and candid about mishaps. I love his cute interactions with the young female guides. Mariane is beautiful and Jackie is lovely.
He keeps calm, but is absolutely firm on his declarations and intent. Most ill-meaning people will size you up quickly and try to notice if you're easily broken/bended. In most cases, a firm attitude and a steely stare will diffuse the situation and get you out.
Bro I can’t stop binge-watching your vids. Best content on youtube by far. These vids inspire me to do trips like these and getting involved with the locals. Don’t stop with what you’re doing man!
Once he gets the ever living sheet beat out of him, with all his stuff stolen, and a skull fracture once they smoke him in the dome with a brick, i bet that "naive charm" goes bye bye.
The calm and gentleness of the woman who sold you food is like therapy. People are 8 or 80. Some are aggressive and some are instant crush and friendship, like the couple who sold you the hat.
Absolutely great and a relief in comparison of the black racists I have seen in latests videos. So fucked up that my own government accepts racism against white people.
Before starting to watch you kurt I was like alot of people. Shit scared of what's out there. You've changed that for me and I've been across the world the last 4 weeks. Inspirational guy to say the least! Thank you my man 👍✌️
Scotland to NZ via London, Berlin, Singapore and Melbourne? I'd say that's pretty much round the world 🤷♂️ don't be jealous you still live with your mummy
Kurt is the only youtuber who has the courage to immerse himself in the local culture and life. meeting totally random people. I ask that God always put good people in your path and that you continue to live your experiences intensely. hugs from Brazil
@@movementmathebula828 irrelevant. His statment read 'only youtuber' not only youtuber hes aware of! There are actually loads of youtubers who do this exact thing
I dont think they are safe bro, it's just the vibes he puts out. He's really good at disengaging aggro people and turning them into friendly. That takes skill for sure, most people would coward and panic or even get aggressive, he just continues to stay calm while holding his ground firmly.
you can't go anywhere in kenyan cities, towns and beaches without these guys appearing out of the woodwork. the trick is getting rid of them diplomatically sometimes. i was in ukunda market, i knew what i wanted and my way around but this one guy wouldn't let go. my friend and i went into a swahili restaurant for lunch and this guy had to be thrown out by the owner.
I have become quite intrigued, more so lately, than before with your travels and how you go about carrying the camera and managing to document your experiences as well as any other channels that do similar productions. On a slightly different note, I find your personality and perspectives very well articulated. I believe if I were to change my way of life then I could see myself in you a bit. When I was clean and sober, in recovery, I would keep my haircut and dress up, and my love for beautiful beaches,jungles, and foreign things(woman included,coca possibly,lol,cigars,foods) to be similar in taste. Funny too how much I appreciate a quality set of clippers and your Manscape ads actually make me assured you wouldn't promote a product you don't use yourself. Thanks too for sharing your personal struggles with depression on a separate video. That really shows that even though your not too afraid to visit dangerous places and come off as a tough guy sometimes, you also show that you have same struggles as many men and woman worldwide and you view yourself as an equal everywhere you go. Appreciate the honesty in your views and street smart sense when people are not what they appear sometimes and being careful of scammers,thieves,criminals, and cons. Great job.
Hi Kurt, Your videos inspired me to meet new people and get to see the world. I am so grateful that you gave me the courage to apply for a job on a private yacht where I am currently working. We are currently docked in the bahamas and everyday I try to learn something new and meet new people. Thank you Kurt!
Your people skills are perfect. You are calm, keep eye contact and always being friendly. They definitely respect that attitude. Tourists could learn alot from you.
Those guys who you met at the beach and told you to say “ Kumamako” to the camera,aren’t nice people, thats actually an insult in Swahili. Some of the men you met at the beach, we call them “Beachboys” they’re mostly trying to hustle some cash from you under the guise of being tour guides . Either way love your channel, your really open and friendly. Great personality, love from Kenya 🇰🇪
kumamako is son of a bitch or hurensohn in german but i had to laugh too cause thats crazy what hes doing ...that was my beach dude...BAMBURI BIATCH....back again in january
f**kin love these. Thank you for what you do! Its great to see how well you get along with locals and navigate around the sketchy areas. My favorite is when you ask about the most dangerous part of town and then stroll through it making friends like Jesus! lol! God bless you and keep you and yours safe! Looking forward to seeing more of the world through your lens!!!!
Man, that video brought back the memories for me. Spent quite a lot of time in Mombasa back in the early 90's when I was in the Army in Mogadishu and we would do R&R in Mombasa. I have nothing but warm memories for the people of Kenya. As a white guy staying in the village of Bombalulu, I was treated as though I had lived there my whole life. Such an amazing experience. I would tell Kurt that everything in Mombasa is negotiable when it comes to price.
@@atutor1I agree but sometimes they prey on tourists and overcharge the hell out of them. If you’re the same race they test you to find out if you’re a local or visiting.. you know where I’m going with this
I think the best part about these videos is he always finds a random person and buys whatever for them and in return they are his guide and gives him alittle safety
It's funny how Western perception deems people in third world countries as animals and savages. LOL their human beings just like us they have the same sediment.
Instant classic! Always a good episode when you hit all the marks; ghetto, haircut, beach, meal, taxi. Loved seeing the Old Town. Reminds me almost of an old Colonial settlement in the Caribbean or something.
Kurt you're very courageous, very down to earth and kind hearted. I'm glad you visited our places and you're our own. Big up mate. I like how you show respect towards our culture and I take off my hat to you for that. I just subscribed today and I'm hooked.
South Africa has very high crime, we are raised with high crime, being street smart is 2nd nature to us and thats why Kurt chooses the right guides and knows how to handle himself in these situations. Most South Africans are like this.
Though being warned by locals from the hood, I felt safe in Old Town and for many years used to take shortcuts passing through (well, at daytime). I always embraced Swahili culture and the few junkies hanging around there didn't seem to pose a risk. But then in 2014, two female tourists got shot dead there at broad daylight. And I must admit, guns haven't been on my radar at all in Mombasa. Good to see that Kurt can even film there today without getting beaten up. While on the other hand, I wouldn't do that, respecting people's privacy & religion.
Kurt… you’re a Gem bro what can I say! You have faith in Humanity and your energy attracts even the worst of people to behave and show signs of positivity. You’re a rare breed!🙏🏾but u already know that bro! I love it… when u come to Toronto… let me be your tour guide😂👍🏽👏
That woman Kurt bought food from was the perfect example of how you can make money selling something. She was kind, not pushy, polite, and thanked Kurt for spending his money there. Those hustlers need to be ran tf off! Kurt was being too nice to them.
i was waiting for someone say that, gosh she's so lovely and sooo calm, it gives me the feeling to visit this place and eat there, felt in love already
Being Kenyan and Living in Mombasa... It's sad to see some folks taking advantage of visitors... But again it's always good to get a local your guide to avoid being over charged... But I love the spirit of adventure... Having grown up in South Africa as well Africa is the same!!! Maar Jy is Welkom Kurt! Baie Dankie vir die Video!
When I was a youth I was sent to a boarding school in Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪 & I got the chance to visit Mombasa, it was one of the best trips of my life!!! So glad you were able to see it Kurt!
It makes me very appreciative I'm sitting in my comfy chair watching this and not there. It also made me grateful I live in my country. ❤ Love these videos👍
This is great. Reminds me of my own adventure to Tanzania when I was 22. Was there for 3 months, got ripped off a bunch of times, got super sick but also met so many great people and have loads of good memories. Cheers for sharing dude!
I'm on with The Army. Joined today. Catching up on shows I haven't seen or don't / didn't remember seeing so late at night ...when I often watch after work. I've learned so much and probably too old to travel now'days. Kurt inspires so much of my curiosity and commitment to learning local culture through cuisine especially and more. I'm thankful. South USA.
Greetings from BULGARIA, Kurt! All the best brother, you are the man! You are inspiring a lot of people to travel more and to try and see new places! You are a role model for us!
I hope he doesn't inspire people to visit dangerous areas. Kurt may be fine but not everyone will have the same experiences. These things are not a joke - you will be robbed, assault or outright killed if you're unlucky.
Awe TK was a super cool cat, took Kurt around town showing everything! Now a days people just don’t have time to walk around being a tour guide but TK will gladly do it! ❤ Seems like a honest dude to me
Kurt, I love that you always keep it raw and real. I think if you ever got picked up by a Travel Channel or something they’d change the whole experience by changing your content. That would suck! I’m glad that you have stayed here. God Bless! ❤️✌🏽
I wonder how many people start their mornings off with Kurt and there out house, toilet, shower or however you take a dump? I myself find it much more easier to go when your actually nervous for kurt when faced with chaos or tricky decisions!! So thanks Kurt for all the great bowel movement’s for the past year or so!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year brother!!!
This crazy guy from "Heathrow" spoke with a "cockney" accent typical of London and he understood that your accent is similar to a dutch guy speaking english so he essentially understood you are an Afrikaner...I'm impressed!
@@rophusmsinga6749 He was deported. He is a criminal I know him from Heathrow the few years he left he looks old for his age. He lost weight too loads of it.
when you were initially surrounded at the beach it looked uncomfortable for a while. You handled, what could have been, a troublesome situation very smoothly. You showed what an intrepid traveler you are by getting into and out of trouble without incident.
@@Darkest_Soul_187 people in 1st world countries also disappear a lot. I live in one of the wealthiest western nations and we have people go missing from time to time.
I visited Mombasa in 2019 and found the people to be warm, friendly and of course they do business and negotiate. The city is so humble and the roads are awful and there is so much trash everywhere I feel bad for the people and what they put up with. I had the annoyance of “ Beach boys “ harassing me for money and trying to con me and bug me everyday when I went on the beach but it didn’t stop me from having a wonderful time. I love Kenya and Mombasa :)
I’ve been bed bound today with a high fever and, honestly, your videos have got me through 💕 Thank you Kurt - LOVE your videos, and it’s been nice to see there is an outside world whilst I’m stuck in this bedroom 😔😩😂💕
Not entirely sure if I’ve watched EVERY SINGLE video, but it’s damn close. You were my way of exploring the world when COVID lockdowns hit. Thanks man!❤ also congrats on the sponsor!
This guy showing the real Kenya, Africa. Actual houses, even if they are not in brand new condition, beaches, tropical scenery, buildings. Not only huts and slums like Indigo Traveller. Yes those exist, they exist just like in every country even in European country like Romania and in other countries Brazil, India there are slums. But there needs to be a balance. This is an honest video which I’m sure will make people want to visit our beautiful continent. Good job Kurt keep it up!
Stop whining. This guy and followers are very sus, they come across as mostly alt right who thinks Africa is all backward. Plus watch Indigo Traveler's vlog in Kenya. He liked it, said it was different, and he thoroughly loved it. For South Sudan and Northern Nigeria, shit holes, and they're depicted as such. And he doesn't vlogs, he does something similar to documentaries.
Kurt is amazing. He has no fear wherever he goes. It helps being an MMA fighter like he is too and he can definitely defend himself it he needed to if a situation ever arises. But his welcoming personality is his greatest strength of all.
Kurt introducing history first then after saying the history says "and now..." I thought he was going to say the conclusion of the history but he said "and now... it's very hot". What a transition! So candid. Very real. 👍😁
I wish I could travel with you. Would see a lot of places I wouldn't be brave enough to go to otherwise and could just chill with this really cool person who knows how to get around everywhere and who is not shy at all!
Cameras have amazing power. Those same cameras have kept him out of harm's way also. People behave a lot differently when they know they are being watched, especially if it could be a live broadcast.
Yess love the regular uploads, Kenya series is great 👍 and amazing for you to get sponsored 👏 we can't expect you to continue producing this level of content without getting sponsored !
I wish I was as confident and comfortable as Kurt is in these situations and scenarios he puts itself in . If I was in the same position I would be way to paranoid and on edge about being surrounding by strangers and them being so close , I would probably lose my cool and act out defensively. Which probably would not turn out well
Same man. For example when he arrived at the beach and randomly like 5 dudes waiting and started stalking. I would be very defensive right there. Honestly i would get annoyed and jump back in the taxi and dip
Well I'm Irish far from Kenya but I understood he was trying to warn him the barber was overcharging him, he tried to give him the message with his eyes because he could not say it with the barber listening but Kurt didn't pick up the signal.
Two videos in five days, what more could we hope for! Looking forward to go with you on the next adventure, I mean you go on the adventure, I watch it on UA-cam safely from home 👍😀😀😁
Kurt is a damn legend, been hooked for the last 14 months since i discovered his channel on acid one day, what a great way to deal with anxiety, also when i’m travelling i have adopted his open approach to wanting to do local activities and exploring etc, making friends and having nothing to hide etc
@@Kingmakerrr1337 most of the people there are. Also just because people are methheads don't mean they aren't good people or should i say "Sweethearts"
Thank you Kurt. I've come across your videos randomly, and in the past 2 days I've seen every single one. I love them. Very interesting and inspiring. Thank you for what you do. I'm waiting for the next one

Do they overcharge some locals or it is only for foreigners (and maybe not all types of foreigners)?

Kurt knows how to handle a situation so well. He can disengage so calmly and confidently and cooly
Totally, I was appreciating that myself you can easily become overwhelmed in those situations but he really holds it together.
Indeed, how he does it can't be learned... it's a gift. You got to have it in you... born with it!

it would be easier if you were white
"Cousin of Kevin" was the best line of this video lol!!! Keep it up Kurt you navigate the sketchiest places with ease.
Yes i was smiling to when Kurt say this 😁
I hope Kevin is doing ok 🙂
@@thesuperheroteacher6101 lol, live a little.
@@thesuperheroteacher6101 what’s wrong with you?
@@xposetruth5681 what did he say
Kurt… you’re a Gem bro what can I say! You have faith in Humanity and your energy attracts even the worst of people to behave and show signs of positivity. You’re a rare breed!🙏🏾but u already know that bro! I love it… when u come to Toronto… let me be your tour guide😂👍🏽👏
You guy!!! You are well experienced and disciplined in your interaction with the locals. keep it up!! I have subscribed.
That woman Kurt bought food from was the perfect example of how you can make money selling something. She was kind, not pushy, polite, and thanked Kurt for spending his money there. Those hustlers need to be ran tf off! Kurt was being too nice to them.
i was waiting for someone say that, gosh she's so lovely and sooo calm, it gives me the feeling to visit this place and eat there, felt in love already
Being Kenyan and Living in Mombasa... It's sad to see some folks taking advantage of visitors... But again it's always good to get a local your guide to avoid being over charged... But I love the spirit of adventure... Having grown up in South Africa as well Africa is the same!!!
Maar Jy is Welkom Kurt!
Baie Dankie vir die Video!
When I was a youth I was sent to a boarding school in Nairobi, Kenya 🇰🇪 & I got the chance to visit Mombasa, it was one of the best trips of my life!!! So glad you were able to see it Kurt!
Are you Somali daqan celis?
@@whatitisnt. Yup 💯
@@blususpect same 😂 went to Bossaso too 🤣🤣🤣
@@blususpect which boarding school in Nairobi did u go to? I went to one in langata rongai and a Nakuru one
@@whatitisnt. Light Academy in Karen
It makes me very appreciative I'm sitting in my comfy chair watching this and not there. It also made me grateful I live in my country. ❤ Love these videos👍
Možda se u seledećem životu rodiš u Keniji 😊 Nikad se ne zna 😂
40 minute video and it’s still NOT ENOUGH !!! Good to see you Kurt ✌🏽
This is great. Reminds me of my own adventure to Tanzania when I was 22. Was there for 3 months, got ripped off a bunch of times, got super sick but also met so many great people and have loads of good memories. Cheers for sharing dude!
I'm on with The Army. Joined today.
Catching up on shows I haven't seen or don't / didn't remember seeing so late at night ...when I often watch after work.
I've learned so much and probably too old to travel now'days. Kurt inspires so much of my curiosity and commitment to learning local culture through cuisine especially and more.
I'm thankful. South USA.
This was good content. I love the tour guide and that Kurt paid him in the end.
Greetings from BULGARIA, Kurt! All the best brother, you are the man! You are inspiring a lot of people to travel more and to try and see new places! You are a role model for us!
I hope he doesn't inspire people to visit dangerous areas. Kurt may be fine but not everyone will have the same experiences. These things are not a joke - you will be robbed, assault or outright killed if you're unlucky.
Awe TK was a super cool cat, took Kurt around town showing everything! Now a days people just don’t have time to walk around being a tour guide but TK will gladly do it! ❤ Seems like a honest dude to me
let's talk about how calm and sweet her voice was, the woman that served him food, i be looking at her gently too.
Very true
Kurt, I love that you always keep it raw and real. I think if you ever got picked up by a Travel Channel or something they’d change the whole experience by changing your content. That would suck! I’m glad that you have stayed here. God Bless! ❤️✌🏽
Kurt is a man of many cultures after visiting the world!!
I wonder how many people start their mornings off with Kurt and there out house, toilet, shower or however you take a dump? I myself find it much more easier to go when your actually nervous for kurt when faced with chaos or tricky decisions!! So thanks Kurt for all the great bowel movement’s for the past year or so!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year brother!!!
That was a shitty comment. Keep the bowel movin
31:31 That vendor has such a chill voice. Also that food looks really nice lol.
This is the Kurt we love/remember and support.
Let’s Go!
This crazy guy from "Heathrow" spoke with a "cockney" accent typical of London and he understood that your accent is similar to a dutch guy speaking english so he essentially understood you are an Afrikaner...I'm impressed!
Yes him recognizing impressed me too
Interesting
Probably lived in the Uk
@@rophusmsinga6749 He was deported. He is a criminal I know him from Heathrow the few years he left he looks old for his age. He lost weight too loads of it.
when you were initially surrounded at the beach it looked uncomfortable for a while. You handled, what could have been, a troublesome situation very smoothly. You showed what an intrepid traveler you are by getting into and out of trouble without incident.
those guys are just bored. they see a white guy and they start bum rushing.
he wasnt in trouble at the beach lol they were just trying to sell him stuff
People disappear in third world countries all the time. One day it might be him.
@@oscarsalesgirl296 He said it "could have been" a troublesome situation, which it might've been if he handled it incorrectly.
@@Darkest_Soul_187 people in 1st world countries also disappear a lot. I live in one of the wealthiest western nations and we have people go missing from time to time.
I visited Mombasa in 2019 and found the people to be warm, friendly and of course they do business and negotiate. The city is so humble and the roads are awful and there is so much trash everywhere I feel bad for the people and what they put up with. I had the annoyance of “ Beach boys “ harassing me for money and trying to con me and bug me everyday when I went on the beach but it didn’t stop me from having a wonderful time. I love Kenya and Mombasa :)
Kurt is a real happy go lucky guy who is willing to try anything. I really enjoy his videos.🇿🇦
Kurt is the coolest 😎 dude on UA-cam
I really believe you need more fame and recognition for going to places where normally vloggers and social media people don’t go, keep it up my man!
He has 1.72 m followers
Shiiiiiiiiet. The way how Kurt communicates and make friends is just another level!
His humble nature and possitive,respectful ways towards people allows him to be safe and calmly get out of tricky situations. 🌍
I’ve been bed bound today with a high fever and, honestly, your videos have got me through 💕 Thank you Kurt - LOVE your videos, and it’s been nice to see there is an outside world whilst I’m stuck in this bedroom 😔😩😂💕
Hope you feel better soon!
Get some sun when you're sick it helps
Not entirely sure if I’ve watched EVERY SINGLE video, but it’s damn close. You were my way of exploring the world when COVID lockdowns hit. Thanks man!❤ also congrats on the sponsor!
Just a natural youtuber is Kurt no BS no editing always a gr8 watch 👍
How come I'm seeing Kurt today after a year. This guy is goooood. Lots of love Kurt hit me up when u visit Kenya again.
Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors Kurt.
Thank you for taking us along!
Thanks!!!
This guy showing the real Kenya, Africa. Actual houses, even if they are not in brand new condition, beaches, tropical scenery, buildings. Not only huts and slums like Indigo Traveller. Yes those exist, they exist just like in every country even in European country like Romania and in other countries Brazil, India there are slums. But there needs to be a balance. This is an honest video which I’m sure will make people want to visit our beautiful continent. Good job Kurt keep it up!
Exactly! There is beauty everywhere, I wish traveling was not so expensive or I'd leave my country immediately to tour the world
Stop whining. This guy and followers are very sus, they come across as mostly alt right who thinks Africa is all backward.
Plus watch Indigo Traveler's vlog in Kenya. He liked it, said it was different, and he thoroughly loved it.
For South Sudan and Northern Nigeria, shit holes, and they're depicted as such. And he doesn't vlogs, he does something similar to documentaries.
I agree. Bad areas exist in any country. Even go to America you see homeless and poo in cities. Doesn't mean whole country is bad or people are bad.
Indigo Traveller is a joke.
everything is real! Be proud of everything sir!
Kurt is amazing. He has no fear wherever he goes. It helps being an MMA fighter like he is too and he can definitely defend himself it he needed to if a situation ever arises. But his welcoming personality is his greatest strength of all.
Kurt introducing history first then after saying the history says "and now..." I thought he was going to say the conclusion of the history but he said "and now... it's very hot". What a transition! So candid. Very real. 👍😁
The man, the myth, the legend. That shirt is rockin' my man 🔥
Thank you sir
Its not the shirt its the chest and amazing rest :D
That shirt made me go blind 😂
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us Kurt! Thanks for the video, I wish you much success! A hug from us Brazilians.
We love you Kurt ! Thank you for showing us the world !!:)
Always!
I wish I could travel with you. Would see a lot of places I wouldn't be brave enough to go to otherwise and could just chill with this really cool person who knows how to get around everywhere and who is not shy at all!
The electricity cutting out midway and seeing the other dudes hair when he got up had me dying of laughter 😂😂😂
Thats real life in africa 🤣🤣
I love how Kurt blends in and goes around these places incognito with his died light blonde hair and bright pink shirt 😂 legend
Is it died?
You called?
And the hut..
I meant dyed
@@vikinginspace4881 hes a natural blonde South afrikaan
the UK guy.... jawdroping for me, he recognize your dutch accent :D cheers from Rotterdam
Can't wait to travel again. Great videos. Traveling alone and meeting people is the best.
Love to hear the children laughing and having fun at the beach!
Kurt, I'm so happy that you've blown this channel to 1.5+ million subs. What you do is not simple or easy. Congrats mate.
I have to say, I'm always surprised at how friendly people are as you walk down the street. Love it.
@x Depends on where you are. I actually find most of the places he goes are more friendly than places like NY.
Those guys at the beach don't look friendly tho
This makes feels safe compared to America.
The Trick is that he is always friendly first. He is greeting everyone. Mightiest disarm method we humans can do.
Cameras have amazing power. Those same cameras have kept him out of harm's way also. People behave a lot differently when they know they are being watched, especially if it could be a live broadcast.
The guysz who told him to say kumamake 😂😂got me all laughing cause kurt has no idea what the guys were telling him to say to the camera😂😂
Yess love the regular uploads, Kenya series is great 👍 and amazing for you to get sponsored 👏 we can't expect you to continue producing this level of content without getting sponsored !
Yess
Favourite UA-camr.. Crazy South African this one ❤️🇿🇦
The vibe in this video is way more chill than the last. Keep up the dope content, Kurt!
Oh, which is better for chewing, the coca or kat ?
my bet is on the coca i think he mentioned it a few times in his past videos.
I really want to go to Kenya, this is helping me a lot, thankyou.
I wish I was as confident and comfortable as Kurt is in these situations and scenarios he puts itself in . If I was in the same position I would be way to paranoid and on edge about being surrounding by strangers and them being so close , I would probably lose my cool and act out defensively. Which probably would not turn out well
Yes...he is great extrovert and I am the opposite and I enjoy his interactions with people!
Definetly agree with you there, I'd lose my shit and get killed 🤣
@@ksm1985 me too
Same man. For example when he arrived at the beach and randomly like 5 dudes waiting and started stalking. I would be very defensive right there. Honestly i would get annoyed and jump back in the taxi and dip
That is why you are not a traveller, you need thick skin to be a traveller, not a tourist.
the british man meant well for you , negotiated the best price for you at the barber shop. God bless him
The guy who acted a tour guide is dope and very kind he even bargain for his very new ally he just met.
8:30 I love the way he tried warning Kurt with his eyes...only kenyans will get what he was trying to say with his eyes 😂
Tell us
Well I'm Irish far from Kenya but I understood he was trying to warn him the barber was overcharging him, he tried to give him the message with his eyes because he could not say it with the barber listening but Kurt didn't pick up the signal.
@@roisinmarie9368 he still gave him 4 dollars for 2 lol
😂
Two videos in five days, what more could we hope for! Looking forward to go with you on the next adventure, I mean you go on the adventure, I watch it on UA-cam safely from home 👍😀😀😁
Man, the sights that we all get to see are awesome. Thanks you crazy mamaguevo!
My boy Kurt just casually walking into a strangers house 😂
Not even his house, just an abandoned building
Kurt is a damn legend, been hooked for the last 14 months since i discovered his channel on acid one day, what a great way to deal with anxiety, also when i’m travelling i have adopted his open approach to wanting to do local activities and exploring etc, making friends and having nothing to hide etc
Kurt has such amazing positive energy, the dude is a rock star
The guy is such a sweetheart, he tried to reduce the price for him so he wouldn’t get overcharged at the barbers
Bruh he was a mxthhead
@@Kingmakerrr1337 most of the people there are. Also just because people are methheads don't mean they aren't good people or should i say "Sweethearts"
@@po1arz352 True true. I like your picture as well
@@Kingmakerrr1337 thanks bro
@@Kingmakerrr1337 what’s that got to do with his kindnesss …
I highly recommend subtitles. They really great for videos like these. Immersive translate would be perfect to generate them
Kenya my country. I love how you easily interact with these guys.
Chewing khat gave you a lot of energy and made you very talkative.
Thank you Kurt. I've come across your videos randomly, and in the past 2 days I've seen every single one. I love them. Very interesting and inspiring. Thank you for what you do. I'm waiting for the next one
I wish I could stroll into my Mum's house with even half the confidence and swag that Kurt does in some deprived 'hood in Africa. What a legend.
