To me, CAPE TOWN was PERFECT… until I saw THIS. 🇿🇦🤔

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA is quickly becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations. Not just in Africa, but for tourists around the world. Cape Town's popularity is booming, and it's easy to see why... But it's not quite perfect.

I spent a month based out of Cape Town, and I quickly fell in love with so many of the things I found there. The food, the culture, the Nature, and most importantly, the JOY and ZEST for Life that the people who live there bring the everyday interactions.

The gorgeous Nature and beautiful weather was getting me outside and active more and more often, and I was feeling amazing... at least physically. Mentally I was struggling with something that I saw going on around me-- something familiar to me as someone from the United States.

Luckily we can do our part to help! As tourists we represent a large portion of the economy, not just in South Africa, but in many parts of the world. Collectively, it's a lot of financial power. It's important we know what to do with it.

I honestly just want to say thank you for watching! ❤ I have some more videos that maybe you will click on? And maybe also watch? 🥲

[Diablo]

This is probably one of the most conscious videos I've ever seen about Cape Town, as capetonians it's a struggle we have ourselves, but truly there is nothing like it anywhere else

[shellcross]

This is one of the best videos that I have seen from an American who visited South Africa. Thank you for recognizing that your $ puts you in a privileged position in South Africa and thank you for recognizing that Cape Town is more than just tourist attractions. Most Americans who visit here irritate me as they fail to see that South Africa affords them a privilege which many South Africans do not get to enjoy. You are most welcome here and please visit again.

I visit cape town twice a year, late spring and mid fall. It is the best place in the world!

[themastercreatorlimejuice]

This is absolutely the best, most beautiful city in the world. I say this having traveled to more than 160 countries in the world. History is history, everywhere has issues. Just by being a tourist in our beautiful country you are helping our beautiful people out of poverty.

[mosspinzo]

We'll done e. I'm a South African and I believe you've done a great video and representation of at least Cape Town. ❤

[JeanFernandez-plrh]

Living in Cape Town is a great privilege. Never get bored and so much to do without spending money. People are truly friendly here. Great video!

[Antoinettewoel]

Well done. As a South African, we are burdened with that feeling for our whole life. Thank for not just being a tourist, but a conscious one. :)

[thandisilec]

All of South Africa is stunning, travel beyond Cape Town, honestly we live in one of thee most stunning countries in the world. You can never visit us once or twice or thrice and think you’ve seen SA, you’ve barely touched it. So much to see, touch, experience, hear and taste. Each region is unique and equally stunning

[dillanarendse]

Props to you. I’m a Capetonian currently living in Vietnam and loving it, but the homesickness I got from watching this video was real. Keep up the good work.

I'm a seafarer and there is no greater sight than coming into Table Bay. There is a saying that goes, God lives in Africa and visits everywhere else.

[brianowies]

Thank you for visiting our beautiful Mother City Cape Town ❤🇿🇦

[simphiwenxumalo]

Such an empowering video, !!! And you do without masking the facts. As a South African, I thank you and salute you!!!

[GuitarWithMe]

Glad YT recommended this to me. Very well produced content. Keep going! Cheers from Cape Town

[sibonisoteejayz]

As a South African

I'm subscribing to your channel. You catered Cape Town on this video with true justice 🎉🎉 well-done

[Jhetx]

What a great video! You did my city justice, the good and the bad.

[na-eimhuman]

Bro because you brought up how you felt about the inequality as well as history in your experience here for that I give credit to thanks for telling the truth with humanity to it we need visitors like you 👌 respect bro and definitely deserved of another subscriber

[zahidasonday]

Thank you for a wonderfully objective view of Cape Town. It is very beautiful and regardless of wealth disparities, all Capetonians are proud of their city.

[SA__life]

Bless you thank you for making this video. Been living in UK for so many years. I feel that most people are still hesitant to visit my country and scared of what they see on news because most of the time our country doesn't get great publicity. But this video is true reflection of how life is for us South Africans. We live hosting people it makes us so proud when people choose to visit we always try to make people feel welcome and at home. I miss home and video made me feel so proud. Thank you so much safe travels and another happy subscriber for you. Stay well and happy travels

You're correct in your observations. The inequalities are just glaring. Can you believe that South Africans (Africans that is) from neighbouring province, the Eastern Cape who now live there, are called migrants in Cape Town while they are in their own country? It's a beautiful city, but has its issues, discrimination and poverty being some of them.
