It's time to put Niger on the map!
When I arrived in Niger yesterday, my 168th country, I was picked up at the airport by an Instagram friend named Aminata.
Little did I know that she'd be one of the coolest people I've ever met in my life!
After living in Germany for the last 7 years, she was fed up when people would mistake her for being 'Nigerian' (the English-speaking country next door). So she recently moved back to her hometown of Niamey, Niger to start an NGO promoting her country's culture and traditions. In a sense, she is the one and only 'cultural ambassador' for her Niger and she is doing big things like organizing the first international cultural festival in August.
In our globalized world of fast-paced, cut-throat societies -- it's imperative for us to preserve our beautiful cultures, like Aminata is doing with Niger.
Share this video to help Aminata's goal of putting her country on the map! I may add, an amazing country that is :)

The Country of (too many) Babies...
► SUBSCRIBE for daily travel videos:
► INSTAGRAM? Join me @drewbinsky!
This country has too many babies.
The West African nation of Niger has the highest annual growth rate in the world, at 3.8%. The average Nigerien women has 7.2 babies.
If they continue reproducing at this speed, then their population is expected to TRIPLE by the year 2050, from 21 million to 63 million people. Right now, more than half of the society is under 15 years old.
These statistics are alarming.
What are you thoughts about overpopulation? Did you even know that this is happening in Niger (and all over West Africa?)

It's my pleasure to introduce you all to Love, my tour guide today in Constantine, Algeria.
I was randomly paired with her, and it was only natural to make a video on her life as a tour guide and ambition to be a leading women in her society.
She is one of the most intelligent, kind and humble guides I've ever had, and I am still speechless by how beautiful her city is. Who knew that Algeria would be this incredible?!

I WAS CHOSEN AS A HUSBAND AND HAD TO WRESTLE HER ???????? (#134)
In the Karamoja lands of Uganda, you have to expect the unexpected. People here are tough, shaped by the brutal terrain they live in. Men are expected to go on raiding missions to capture cows and weapons, for that is how you acquire status. Women must be able to fight and hold their own. And they say that to marry a Karamojan girl, you have to defeat her in a wrestling match.
What a place to roll into. This was gonna be interesting for sure.

10 Things Not to Do in Algeria
Get more Tips here!
Algeria, that unknown and yet wonderful country. Not everybody thinks about it when thinking about their holidays but they should. So, to help you prepare your trip we bring you these Things not to do in Algeria.
1) Don't forget your visa
The visa to Algeria isn’t particularly the easiest one and, unfortunately, it’s required for most countries in the world. So try to have it ready before you start your trip and you'll avoid a lot of trouble.
2) Don't Expect Sleep to Be Cheap
Mass tourism doesn’t really exist in Algeria, so hotels are very expensive if we compare them with how cheap anything else is in the country. You can find prices from 30€ to 200€, although, most of them are over 50€ a night. If you're travelling with a lower budget you can always get a youth hostel instead where you'll pay around 2 € per night. On the other hand, you could always try CouchSurfing, making sure the people you choose look safe and have many positive references. It’s a great way to meet local people!
3) Don't forget your dictionary
Most of the younger people do know English but don't hold on that because, it’s not that easy to find people who speak English. The official language in Algeria is Arabic and some people speak French as it was a French colony. So if you want to be able to communicate bring a dictionary in French.
4) Don't get a taxi
Taxis are expensive and they usually try to cheat tourists. You can use the Yassir mobile app which is basically the same as Uber, or get a bus. Although, they don't tend to follow their schedules. Renting a car isn't that cheap either. And if you go to the desert try to book a flight, they're not too expensive and you’ll save some time too.
5) Don't forget your cell
If you want to be able to move freely without a guide and find historical places, hotels or restaurants by yourself, don't forget to bring your cell phone and install the Waze app which is a free driving directions & live traffic map app that works the best in Algeria.
6) Don't travel everywhere
Borders with Libya, Mauritania, Mali and (nisher) Niger are absolutely no-go zones in Algeria, they're the most dangerous ones, as are remote or mountains areas. But don't worry because these areas are far from all the tourist attractions.
7) Don't rely on having Wi-fi everywhere
Sure big hotels, offices, and random apartments are sure to have a wifi connection. However, if you’re out and about and want to use the internet in Algeria you'll need to get a local sim card with data which will cost you around 5-10€ per month. And, out of the 3 different networks they have, choose Mobilis, it has a better range.
8) Don't forget your money
Here, the local currency is Algerian dinar. And there are not many places where ATM machines accept international bank cards. Sure, you could try the airports, huge hotels like Sheraton or regular banks, but sometimes they're out of money. So to avoid being left without money, bring some emergency cash too .
9) Don't start your diet
In Algeria, they eat a lot of fast food such as shawarma and fries, they're very cheap and you'll find them everywhere. But you can always go to a restaurant to eat nice food, if you prefer, which will cost you about the same as western European restaurants do. Oh, and don’t forget, drinking alcohol in public is forbidden.
10) Don't think it’s all just sand
When people think of Algeria they imagine riding camels in the desert. But, guess what? There are also cars, buses and trains, just like your city, yep. This is a civilized country! Sure, the Sahara desert occupies four-fifths of the Algerian territory, but they also have a coastline, ancient Roman Empire ruins and stunning heritage of the Ottoman Empire, Spain, France and much more.
Where do you want to know what not to do in next?

The Biggest Country in Africa (ALGERIA)

ALGERIA... WHO KNEW IT'S THIS AMAZING?
I've spent the last 4 days road tripping around the Northern Mediterranean coast of ALGERIA, and I have been absolutely stunned by what I've experienced. From the warm hearts to the stunning nature and complete mix of cultures, I can safely say that this country is one of the most underrated in the world.
And it's huge... REALLY HUGE.
After Sudan split into two countries in 2011, Algeria emerged as the largest country in Africa by size. It's so big that only 12% of the land is inhabited (with 44 million people), and over 90% of its surface is covered in the Sahara desert.
If the visa wasn't so hard to get, then this country would explode in tourism. But I kind of like it the way it is -- I didn't come across a single tourist during my time here.
Algeria is, without question, the most surprising country in Africa for me so far, and I know with certainty that I'll be back. Insha'Allah!

I HAVE FINALLY MADE IT TO ALGERIA AND IT HAS BLOWN ME AWAY IN EVERY WAY POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY IN REGARDS TO THE FRIENDLY PEOPLE.
From a global perspective, the country of Algeria has a horrible misconception. And truth me told, it's one of the most beautiful places I've been inside and out. Every single person that I've met over the last 48 hours has been incredibly warm, friendly and hospitable.
You honestly won't believe me until you come here! A video is just a video, but what I have been experiencing is absolutely mind-blowing.
Share this video if you also love Algeria! And please let me know of any questions you have about traveling here, and I'll do my best to get back to you!

How Safe Is Niger for Travel?
Full safety review:
Niger, also colloquially referred to as the Heart of Darkness is a landlocked country in Africa with a population of about 16 million.
It shares its borders with Algeria, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Nigeria, Chad, and Libya.
Like many of African country, Niger is also a former colony: it was under the French until it gained independence in 1960.
Most of the country is covered in desert plains and dunes, with rolling savanna in the southeast.
Overall, Niger isn’t a safe country to visit. With its political turmoil and UN labeling it the major drug smuggling port, violent and petty crime on the streets, there are lots to think about when planning a trip to Niger.

Perhaps as a result, you can find some pretty unique people from around the world there. They even have a community of Rastafarians living there who came to be closer to Hailie Selassie, the former Emperor, who they thought was God. And it was there that I found someone REALLY unexpected.

Vietnamese people in Prague?
Don't get confused by this title, there is actually a massive Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic -- especially right here in Prague!
I remember when I lived in Prague 7 years ago that there was a lot of Vietnamese restaurants, but I never really dug deeper to find out why they were here. And now, I've realized that many of them came to Czechoslovakia during the communism period to work or study, and then when communism fell in the early 90s, they never left.
Here is the full story of the Vietnamese influence of Prague, which I find to be fascinating and incredible.
