    One of the biggest reservations my wife and I had about traveling to Africa for the very first time was the fact that we have 3 small children. We have had a burning desire to visit our motherland for a while now and we finally had an opportunity. We knew that if we were going to visit, that we would want it to be a long one, at least 3-weeks and there was no way that we were willing to leave our children for that length of time. So we packed them up and took them along for the ride! Our trip will be documented into 4 different videos, and this one here is the first. This video documents our trip to Lake Kivu and most of the adventures from that day.
    I am an African American (#FBA) and my goal for this video is to show other African Americans and Diasporas the Africa that the media and doesn't show us. All that we've ever heard about was the bad, which I always knew was less than the "half truth", so I figured I'd go and see for myself.... and take my family with me along for the ride.

    the muzungu will tell you africa is horible via thier media and you cower and say you are not going, meanwhile the muzungu comes and enjoys himeself there ( did you spot the two in the back) lol😂 . better wake up brothers and sisters in the diaspora. nobody is saying move, but rather than spending your money looking at some stupid Eifel tower. go to the mother land and not only enjoy a great vacation and garden of Eden type Beautiful scenery but a bonus of connecting with the motherland.

      I agree. I don’t want to move there... YET. I have plenty of work to do with the brothers and sisters here in the US. But I will continue to visit and vacation... and just maybe one day, I will move somewhere on the continent permanently

      Yes! Thanks for reaching out! To be honest when we went we didn’t know anyone! At all! We just took a chance and went. 🤷🏿‍♂️ But when we got there, we met so many good people, many of which I still talk to til this very day. (8-months later) We found our plane tucked on an app called Fareboom... That app is great because it allows you to select a destination, and then it notifies you every time the price of airfare goes up and down... so we just waited until the price was at its lowest and then we bought the tickets. Then we used airb&b the entire time of our stay. If you’d like more info or just to talk tryout can email me at reachaustinw @yahoo.com.
