Today, we traveled to experience rural village life in Africa. We drove the couple hour drive to Jawajeh village in rural Liberia and were welcomed with the most incredible experience.
One of our favorite things to do while traveling is experiencing the local remote villages and this was one for the books. It wasn't a traditional travel vlog, but we felt we needed to share this incredible experience. This was one of our most favorite travel memories so far on our journey! So special spending time in a rural village in Africa.

Thank you to Raise Your Hand Foundation and our amazing Liberian family for giving us this opportunity to show the world these little corners of the world and how spectacular they are!
If you happened to be new around here, this isn't our typical vlog style but after shooting this, we wish we had filmed a vlog, so we decided to show it this way! Stick around for more adventures around the world!
This was by far the most moving video. It made me laugh and surprisingly made me cry seeing those sweet sweet faces!! I see so much love in those eyes!
Thank you for sharing!
I'm so glad! That makes me so happy since it's a little different video than we normally do! Such a special special day with such special people!
Wow, you brought tears to my eyes with this one! Incredible editing - music, images, creativity and presentation -every part of it. Such beautiful people and you really captured the spirit of the village. Well done!!! Loved loved it.
Wow, thank you! It was a little different of a video for us, but too beautiful of an experience not to share :)
One of your most creative. Really enjoyed how you “produced” this vlog and incredible shots of people in this village. Love it!
Thank you so much! Learned some new editing techniques for it! thank you thank you :)
Love your video, I am a Liberian currently living in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That nut is called Cola nut. It's customary for you to be given a chicken, cola nut as a welcoming gesture into their society. Love my people!! they are the best in the world!!!!
Liberians are really some of the most welcoming and warmest people in the world! Feel so lucky to have visited such a remarkable country!! I bet Philadelphia is pretty cold after being from Liberia!
Thanks so much for watching!
@@samandnick yes they are. It was a culture shock when I moved to Philly. 😂😂😂😂😂
My 1st and 2nd visit to Liberia, even earlier this yr, I get a chicken or a goat as a welcome gift every time when I go to the village or extended family members come see my family, they bring them with palm wine or other traditional food items. It is awesome! I love my culture🙏🏾 LIB 🇱🇷 Forever! Thanks for these lovely videos
Liberia is one of the most welcoming and kind places we've ever visited. The people are absolutely unbelievably kind and we felt so lucky to have spent almost 2 weeks there. Wish we could have stayed longer and itching to go back :)
Wow your video is great! definitely felt teary eyed on this one! you could feel the love and excitement from everyone. The editing and music and the way you explained was amazing thank you for this wonderful share! ❤️
Thank you so much!! Took a very long time to edit, so this means a lot to us! thank you so much! felt to special not to share :)
Madam President, thanks for the video. The little girl could not leave you alone hahaha
Thank you!! She couldn't leave my side and I loved every second of it! Missing our time in Liberia!
This is a traditional welcome.
They are showing appreciation with their pure/open hearts, as represented by the kola nut and white chicken. 😊
Also, the children chasing the car is a way youngens show that they'll miss you and want to extend their contact with you to the very last moment. 😁
Great vid, guys! I can't wait to go home, as perfectly imperfect as it is!
Love that! Thanks for the additional information. This was by far one of the most memorable and special days in all of our travels and we can't WAIT to go back! Such a beautiful and warm country. The most welcoming and beautiful people! Thanks for watching!!
Love this blog, the nut they offer you guys is call the cola nut. Most West African villages give it to their visitors when welcoming them.
Thank you so much for watching and happy you enjoyed the video! So happy you told us the name of the nut! We had no idea! Super interesting, thank you!!
You guys have wonderful spirit that’s all my people ask for. Much love...

Thank you so much!! We loved our day in this small village and although we didn't film like we usually do, we had to make a video out of it! it was too special not too!! The kids were sooooo wonderful!
We stayed at a hotel that was right on a lagoon! Very nice hotel with pretty regular wifi, electricity, and air conditioner. We saw many business people staying there!
Thanks again :) :) :) :)!!!
Thumbs up guys! Have never been to Africa, maybe one day :) stay safe.
thanks so much! Africa is one of our most favorite continents! Tough to travel easily through Africa because flights are pricey and a lot of countries require Visas, but worth every penny and moment planning!!
Absolutely gorgeous video. Love it love it love it. Also no time like the present to learn how to hold a chicken!
I'm currently practicing during quarantine!
Thank you so much for your video. I loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! We loved this rural village and can't wait to go back!
It's called a kola nut (the caffeine thing). It's given to you when you've been welcome and accepted. These are Gola people my maternal grandmother's people 😊. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for stopping by! It was an honor to be able to visit!
