I took Ayahuasca and moved to Africa

Since I have officially been living on this continent for over a year now I wanted to make a video highlighting the last year of my life. This video is what I came up with.
To sum it up my original plan was to stay In Africa for a year. During this year I had the fortune of visiting 7 different countries . I got to run my own surf camps and also ran an untrained marathon for a charity I was able to get involved in. I had the craziest year of my life. This is a video showcasing all of that.
Even though the year is up i'm not quite ready to leave this beautiful continent either. So I had an idea. I bought my own car and put a mattress in the back and my plan is to drive it all the way back home to Ireland. I'll use this platform to post longer videos documenting my journey back home so follow along for the journey. :)
If you watched this and you'd like to donate to Jbay surf house, you can check out their website here:

Im starting my own travel community before the end of the month so if you want more information go and sign up with this link:

    Africa has been systemically degraded and exploited for centuries by colonial countries and now by neocolonialism. It most defiently isn’t the fault of the people all though it is our job now to rebuild and take hold of our own reigns

    Yeah sadly this is something that I felt too. It's beautiful content, and I could be wrong here but I honestly feel the community of foreigners breaks the barrier to entry with the help of travel and nomad visas. Living like this is unattainable for us locals. We never really get the opportunity to let go because we're clutching just for our weekly survival. Again the comment resonated with me and it's truly a video I enjoyed ❤

    That’s because luxury is making you trapped in an illusion. Take away materialism and you can. Learn to farm and be sustainable. The west is not as good as you think. More money more problems

I met him 4-5 years ago when I was staying in Muizenberg in South Africa. Really cool to get an update on someone I only met briefly via a random KZread video like this. Definitely worth a sub
