The travel section is supposed to be replete with travel destinations and experiences. What you find is unnecessary stories of why you should travel to Canada, why you shouldn't travel to Canada, why Canada is the best place on earth, why you can't save $30 a day in Canada and the disadvantages of travelling abroad. Why I don't have issues with such topics, many of them are stale, old and boring.

Of course, discussions on other subjects are appreciated but from my brief experience no place on earth is an El Dorado. I strive to make the most of my life irrespective of where I find myself.

Let's give out positive vibes and avoid unnecessary rivalry. Let's show the beauty of different places and travel destinations, culture and traditions, cuisines and natural wonders, so that those of us unable to travel can learn from such experiences.

As Dalai Lama said "Man is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present. The result being that he does not live in the present or the future. He lives as if he's never going to die and then dies having never really lived" If you died today would you have lived life?

Cherish what you've got around you while you wait for the better things to come.

My 2 kobo as always, since I don't cents.

I couldn’t agree more! Ditto my friend!

I agree which is why I posts my travels on NL!

Happy Travels!

emmaodet:


I also like posting my travels, tours and hangouts here, but some people think i am showing-off or feeling big or rich, but this is not the case.

Some of us just enjoy vacations, tours etc. and like uploading it just like the whites do but it is a totally different mentality down here Africa.

Mstravelindiva:


Don’t let other peoples opinions or misconceptions discourage you. You have good intentions, and if you truly wanted to show off, NL isn’t the forum to do it on, lol. You can show on Instagram, FB or TikTok where it matters!

Let them get mad, they are going to hate anyway, because they aren’t happy with themselves, so how can they be happy for you? So you might as well do what makes you happy and post away, because many will appreciate what you do. I love to travel, nothing more nothing less. I don’t put others down or make them feel inferior, I want them to know that black folks do travel well like others, so please don’t feed into the stereotypes that only other races or ethnic groups travel. I’m BLACK and proud and I belong in the same spaces as others!!!!

I simply ignore the trolls and haters, and don’t give them what they want which is attention. Continue to post because the world is watching and we’re proud of you and your accomplishments. No hate…just love…I love to see my people succeed and successful…I’m clapping for everyone! You matter!!!!

emmaodet:


Yes, you are right sis.
I noticed you mostly travel solo. Do you prefer that to going in groups like using a tour agent? Networking and socializing?
Why going on tour solo may cost less, I find it a bit boring for me because I will struggle to know the right places to explore and enjoy unlike a tour agent with vast experience of where to take us to.
So far so good, using your agent within nigeria for hangouts and daycation is worth it but the cost of using them for foreign trips to Dubai, east Africa etc to name a few is too expensive

Mstravelindiva:


I also don’t use a travel agent, I book everything myself. Google and YouTube allows me to do all the research I need for FREE so I can save my coins on my travels, thus why I share it on NL for free. I’m not endorsed or sponsored, all travels are paid for by me, myself and I!

Safe travels friend!

I love this and will really take advantage of YouTube going forward. Thanks for this idea.
Many people think until they have good cash before they travel or go on tours but this is a big lie because if you wait until you have enough before traveling, you will never have that enough and one day you look in the mirror and see that you are either old or already in the grave.
There will always be a bill to pay everyday so you have to squeeze out from it and catch your fun and experiences.

There is no perfect time.
Also, i noticed that many nigerians go on vacations alot but you won't know this until you change your circle.
I am in a tourist group and i know what is going on.
There are 10 nigerians presently in rwanda on vacation and will so be back soon while many more have gone or yet to go to countries like kenya, rwanda, south africa, Mauritius, Seychelles etc
Nigerians are really goingon vacations.

Do enjoy your trips sis.

Good to know. I understand how the reception might be, but do they share their experiences? I follow some black folks on Instagram (Nigerians and other black Africans) who share their experiences, and they are very lovely and interesting.

Your first paragraph is apt! Even if na twice annually, after having _{emergency savings o} admist the retrenchment these days.

emmaodet:


Yes, they do.
Kollatunez tour is one of the groups I am and he shares the daily event on the WhatsApp group. Very very interesting.
Also Wan tour, Naija Explorers etc.
The 10 guys that went through Kola just came back yesterday. 7 days tour to Rwanda for 700k per person sharing including flight to and fro, accommodation, feeding etc.
it was really fun.
Would have loved to go such tour as a single but for family it will be really financially draining.
About savings, yes you are right.

Someone must have good backup funds nowadays because of unforeseen events like retrenchment etc

Regex:


I for join them for the owambe thing in Kigali, but my leave no match with am. If not...

emmaodet:


You sef they follow the update on the whatsapp group? the thing make sense die
