I always look up the black experience before I think about visiting different places. Thank you for being so informative!
Thank youuuu! I am happy I am not the only one. It is important to know before going to a new country of the black experience...
I don't mind people staring 😊 I don't have that fear or paranoia that stare means bad or weird. I'm beautiful, people always stare. ❤
Ooooo 😍 I love love love your vibe and your self-assurance! It's so magnetic! That is an awesome way to go about in the world! I will take the opportunity to feed off your energy! Thank you!!!
From Earth to Jupiter 💛
I stayed in a apt for 13 days. I did have a big budget but that was the apt. I did the metro everyday, loved it. Try riding the metro in Los Angeles!! 🤣 I did research before I got there. I bought food from stores and ate in the apt. The metro was pretty easy. I loved everything about Paris. One thing is be careful with being hustled by Gypsies. I was armed with a little french but I basically got around with no problems. I traveled solo and I gotta say as a Black American male it was nice to forget and just be me. That was 14 years ago. Was going to go back last year but covid put the brakes on that. I would recommend getting the Travelers Eyewitness book for Paris/France. Hope to go back in the winter of 2022. ✌🏾🌻👍🏾❤️💐🌼🌺🌹🌸🌷
Thank you sooo much for this insight I really appreciate it! Also I am really happy you had such a positive experience, that is always reassuring! I really hope 2022 will bring new happiness to you on that trip to Paris again! 😊🙌🏾
Bwoy yuh just a inspire mi suh. I’m in year 12 and I want to study in France but I’m also scoping my options in other countries as well, your channel has really helped me.
Heyyyy! I am so happy you found this informative !! Sounds like you are another yaardie!!! Rayyyy 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲! All the best on your search for studies! France is a really great option! Keep in mind, things can get pricy sometimes there! Also feel free to let me know any questions you have! I will try to see if I had any experience with that specific topic related to the question and answer it! Cheers!
If you're considering France for the language, you could also research other French speaking European countries like Switzerland and Belgium! though these countries are bilingual and have German sides, it may be possible to study in the French side! Research scholarships too. Best of luck to you and God bless you!
This is my exact situation. Am taking a solo trip from Sweden. I find this really relatable. Great video.
Hey Hey Asiimirwe! I am really happy you found this video relatable! Are you taking the trip to Sweden this year?
The airport I was referring to the video is the Charles de Gaulle Airport - Paris's main international airport...Aside from that, I would love to hear about your own experiences! Did we share similar experiences or was your time travelling there much different? Comment below 💛
This was very informative 🇯🇲 thanks for the video had a few laughs as well 😂 4:43 was funny

💛🤗
i looooove you.. "take the left" then boom😂😅😊
I would voice record the directions and play back 💝
Omg! Such a great idea!! Thank you! I will keep that in mind!
i don't understand why you talk about your experience as a black woman in France. In france, there are no difference between color... in fact nobody feels he has to given its point of view as black
Thanks for your comment. Did you watch the beginning of the video? I mentioned that speaking about my experience being black are for those who will find it useful for their own trips to France (which are perhaps some black travellers to France) You may not find it useful , but there are people who do.Did that answer your question?
The "colorblind" approach just isn't true. When you ignore and invalidate the real experiences of others causes harm. What you haven't experienced or refuse awareness of doesn't chance reality.
Are you black?
Lucky girl there, i cant speak french at all.Are u from Kenya, i can tok swahili...
Hi Pekka, No I am from Jamaica. I wish I spoke Swahili but I don't.
@@ShauntelAngelica No problem dear, we can speak what ever
@@pekkavalkonen1973 Thanks Pekka
Same high on my list
You'll definitely enjoy the trip!
Oh no... I always say, if you don't speak the language, always go with someone who can! France is big on architecture, you're not gonna like it if you 1 don't speak French and 2 don't like old buildings. I hope you ate a lot girl, you could eat for weeks in France for free. Did you visit Etienne?
Thank you for the insight ! Unfortunately no I did not visit Etienne!
i liked it......nice
Thank you! :)
Very funny video. Je parle francais
Haha thank you! I also wish I spoke I spoke french ! 😭
Great Video you make me want to move FT
please dont.
Go for it! I am happy you enjoyed the video
why you don't speak french?
Ikr 😭
Did you get to go to the south of France. Paris is dirty though, and smelly in some parts. I thought at night it was a beautiful city, and I enjoyed the food.
No unfortunately I did not go to the south, which part would you recommend?
France is one of the few countries you could go to and get a job in the same night. Please please study some French! Jamaica and st. Kitts is on my menu next year tell me where to eat ?!
Thank you! After finishing up with Portuguese, I hope to start on French. All the best
I reckon you will feel at ease soon some of my friends who are African migrants have few wife and already 5 and 7 kids it's just a matter of year before France turns black
Thanks for sharing your insight Mat!
You'll be right at home.
Thank you 💛
