This was an amazing episode with Samya Abdela aka @samyatravels
In this episode we discuss:

  • Eritrea (Proud to be Eritrean)
  • Connecting to her roots by going back to her homeland of Eritrea
  • How a 2016 group trip to Jamaica changed her perspective on life and travel
  • Why connecting to the continent of Africa is so important
  • What hard work by her Eritrean parents taught her about life
  • Senegal
  • Going beyond just walking with lions, but how the tour is actually set up
  • Doing extreme sports like bungee jumping
  • Understanding the infrastructure in Africa
  • Finding travel deals and determining where to go (Traveling to a country in its off season)
  • Air BnB vs. Hotels
  • The benefits of group trips
  • Belize
  • Cape Town
  • Croatia
  • Greece

I'll see you at the top because the bottom is just too crowded
