Description
Livingstone, Zambia gave me one of those travel days where nothing went according to plan. In this Zambia travel vlog, I fly from Lusaka to Livingstone, stay at Fawlty Towers, explore the local market, try food in town, and deal with a frustrating ATM problem when my debit card gets stuck inside the machine. As an American who usually travels through Ecuador and Latin America, this day reminded me what it is really like to travel, live abroad, and deal with culture shock when things do not work the way you expect.
This video is not just about visiting Zambia. It is about what happens when you are in another country, you do not fully understand the system, your plans fall apart, and you have to stay patient. From cheap accommodation in Livingstone to local markets, Zambian food, friendly people, walking culture, and a stressful bank situation, this was a real look at travel in Africa.
