Today, we explored Monrovia, Liberia, an amazing place in West Africa. Our Americans First Impressions of Liberia video will take you all around Monrovia, introduce you to a part of the world that is lesser traveled, and meet some of the most wonderful people we've encountered on our entire travels.
The Liberia Travel Vlog series is just beginning and we can't wait to explore this absolutely spectacular country with you!
Safe to say, our first impressions of Liberia were....we smiled so hard our cheeks hurt at the end of the day filming!
Thanks to all our Liberian family that took us around all over Liberia over the 10 days we were there!

Liberia is such a wonderful country, one of our top favorites -- so special :) :)!! Thanks for watching!
I was a teenager in Liberia when the dukcor hotel was in action and operating. It was absolutely beautiful. Fancy five star and the best rib eye steak I've ever had. Hung out at the pool most weekends. I've attended balls and ceremonies there. My prom was there. I'll never forget. I have one of their pamplets packed away somewhere.
Wow! It is so amazing to hear stories like this -- sounds like a pretty remarkable place! I can't believe you had your proms there, wow! Thank you so much for sharing! I hope our video helped bring back some fond memories :)
Such a fun watch, loved the cute car 😊
Thanks so much! Nick was soooo excited to drive that keke. In fact, he’s still talking about it!
Love seeing your Mom in the video!
Isn't it so fun to see her!? Such a special trip together!
Please take it easy on the Liberian chilly pepper. Liberia has some of the hottest chilly pepper in West Africa. If you eat too much, it acts like natural laxative. Lol
Another CZcamsr called Wode Maya learned his lesson from eating too much Liberian chilly pepper even though he likes spicy food in his country Ghana.
hehe!! That's so funny! Safe to say, Nick regretted his quantity of Liberian chilly pepper this day haha! Will need to go check out Wode Maya, hehe! Thank you for the recommendation and thanks for watching!
omg i'm so happy i came across y'all and what great timing! So recent! This is exciting because i'm basically getting a sneak peak at my life in the near future as my SO is Liberian and (i'm white skin, born and raised USA- both parents from Mexico) we plan on moving there soon! This is awesome and so far seems so good!! This is really exciting seeing Africa for the first time in its current status ALMOST first hand!! Subscribed!!! Stay safe, God bless, and have fun!
This comment made our day!! We are so happy you found this helpful and made you excited for your upcoming move! So so exciting! We have a couple of other videos from Liberia that can hopefully get you extra excited for this big move!
We loved Liberia so much and wished we could have spent much more time there. It truly was our top favorite place we've seen with the most wonderful people!
Thanks so much for joining our travels with us and safe move to Liberia!!

Traveling is an education. Go and see places around the world. The more you travel the less racist you become. We all need the same thing in life, a peaceful environment

Yes our Famous Dry Fried Rice are the best! All Liberia 🇱🇷 food are awesome! It defends on who and how they cooked it. Bc everyone do it differently
Nick loovvveedd the Dry Fried and the Palm Butter. So yummy! Thanks for watching :)
@@samandnick that is my Nick favorite Liberian dish also. Lol
You guys make vacationing in Liberia fun. I love it...I should join you guys next time 🤣..what's your Liberian name Nike, can't leave Liberia without your Liberian name lol.
Thank you so much! We loved Liberia and every moment we spent there. One of our absolute FAVORITE places in the world!! I LOVE the Liberian name question hahah! What do you think our Liberian names should be!? Lol!!
Gio Names
Suah is a boy's name. The name comes from Liberia, West Africa and it belongs to the dialect of Gio. The name "Suah" means "A new era, a new beginning"
Your wife name is Dehcontee." Pronounced The -Con - Tee. It means "everything got time, in my native Krahn language ." There came a time in your life you had to make a daring change by walking away from your job and leaving your friends and family behind. And embarked on this new journey to travel the world. Lol
Don't ask me how I came up with these names. 🤣.
I figured since the krahn and Gio didn't get along doing the Liberian Civil War but are inseparable or intermarried, this would be a prefect name for you and your wife.
Good luck with everything..
Was that the Cannon Matilda Newport used to shoot at the natives on Ducor Palace grounds, where the first President Joseph Jenkins Roberts statue is? Theres one also at the Masonic Temple, which one is it
Interesting to learn more about the Liberian history. Thanks for watching!
By Gods comman thanks 🙏🏿 for visiting my mother land
Of course! We can't wait to go back!
I live in that hotel with my Dad on the 4th floor
Oh really!? That is cool! We loved Liberia!
@@samandnick I'm glad you and your family does but yeah I lived in the 4th floor room 419 with my dad . My dad was working for the intern president Amos Sawyer . Amos Sawyer did live on the same floor as us too . Long story but I'm glad you love my sweet country Liberia . Everyone who lived on the 4th floor back then, works for the intern president which was Amos Sawyer
Would you ever go back to Liberia for a visit?
1 million percent would go back! Amazing country! Difficult to travel if you don't know anyone or have a guide though...
In my Liberian 🇱🇷 English.. I force to subscribe o😂🙏
hahaha!! love it!! Thank you so much!
I was deployed to Liberia in 2014 for the Ebola crisis and you need to show the actual country and how bad it is
A lot can change in 6 years. Loved Liberia! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
Hi
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by!
I always thinks what americans think of liberia
We LOVED Liberia! We have a great connection to Liberia so it was great to finally see our Liberian family!
What are uou doing there ?
We were there to represent a non profit called 'Raise Your Hand Foundation' and to meet our Liberian family!
Do you like it,?
love Liberia and driving a Keke was a blast! Thanks for watching!
Back in the day, Liberia was the place every white people used to go visit
Liberia is a great place
KK 😂😂😂
He had the best time driving it!! Thanks for watching! :)
Episode 71: The exploitative colonizers strike again! This time in the name of "travel" and "culture". EYE see right through you.
hmmm bummer you feel that way.
I've never seen someone so happy to visit one of the world's poorest countries.
of course we were happy, we had the best time, memories, and experiences in Liberia.
Being one of the world poorest countries doesn't mean people are sad and in poverty all their life. There's culture, and it's enough to make anyone happy.
Pickup trash
it looks like a hell hole
sorry you feel that way.
TheMabes69 yes that hell hole is full of love and freedom.
Greetings from Minneapolis...your accents tell me you must be close to here. Heading to Liberia this winter....thanks for the video...
Close! We are from California. Glad you enjoyed the video! Liberia is incredible!
