Role of West Africa In The History Of Slavery Dakar , Senegal 

I visited Goree Island earlier this year and this video took be back. Goree Island and the Door of No Return was excruciating to me . As I looked into the Atlantic Ocean my heart became so heavy. Seeing the rooms where the slaves were kept , was horrible I can never understand how anyone could treat another human being like that. The suffering of the Black man left an indelible mark on me. Thanks for sharing. Amazing video.

😂😂😂. Pharmacist- I don't speak English...... 2 seconds later, you want tablets 😂😂

Bruv, it's like your energy's back, innit? Plus, there's a nice vibe to it when you vlog solo unlike when you bring a lady a long. I'm liking this Senegal 🇸🇳 content way more than the Ghana 🇬🇭 one ❤......keep up the good work! 👍🏾

Hmmm, now you're very close to home. I have been following you since you were in Brazil. I'm in the Gambia. I'm extending an invitation to you to come visit Gambia. You can come to Banjul and go back to Dakar the same day. It's that short and easy to move between the two countries..

Nice one Auston 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪keep the content coming

Like the soccer jersey, great people and country. Bless up

Always buy a local sim card at the airport when you arrive the first time.

Auston Holleman call sign "Iceman." Thx for sharing.✌🏾

We love you too, Auston! Good job.

You have to be careful on your money for the exchange rate, sometimes they over price you.. and your money will be running fast.

Thanks!

Senegal is know for good fashion, don't leave without picking something up.

I m amazed by Senegal. First I remarked that there where a lot of ppl that did not ask for money where as in other countries they would. What blow me away is how many speak English.I would say more then in France 🙂. Try to engage with girls. That will be very difficult because man of them are muslim but one never knows. What would be top is if you get invited by a local to his home. That is an incredible experience.

Good video and thank you.

@19:45 🎉 fire 😂 right there.

Take a boat trip up the river

Are you planning to visit more regions in Senegal?

The slave chambers broke my heart. Lest we forget!

Senegal has beautiful Dark chocolate skin women ❤❤❤❤

why not ry ZANZIBAR island of Tanzania, there are many clear crystal beaches and blue beaches and where AFRIKANS SWIM with sharks ...once you try ZANZIBAR , its will be a wrap, by the way i like the senegalese guy who said AKON is my best friend

Are you in Dakar already???

Senegal seems great. It's just the hustle and bustle of things which I'm not too keen on and the random dudes on the side of the street. In Africa that is always something you should watch out for but definietly a vibe of a country.

Auston you never seem to amaze me. I thought for sure you wouldn't like Senegal. Maybe its the fact that you love the ocean/beach/Mediterranian vibe.

Alway need a passport to get SIM cards in African countries.

Senegal I heard is expensive.

great move show the places don't put women too much negativity

Today is the Big Slave Castle day Yay! lol.

BLACK PEOPLE YALL FROM AMERICA. AFRICA DIDNT POPULATE THE ENTIRE EARTH. STORY IS COMMICAL ONCE YOU DO THE MATH AND USE COMMON SENSE

I'm Ali Bongo Ondimba, president of Gabon. And I'm to send a message to all the friends that we have all over the world to tell them to make noise, to make noise. For the people here have arrested me and my family, my son is somewhere, my wife is another place and I'm at the residence right now. Am in the residence, nothing happening, nothing is happening. I don't know what's , what's going on. So I'm calling you to make noise, to make noise, to make noise, really..

That’s a beautiful country I really enjoy your content Very inspiring to make me appreciate travelling more That there’s actually good life outside of Canada and the US, I’ll link you up on IG soon and send some uplifting music that I do on the side from my end of my albums Stay bless on your travel journey and enjoy 💯👌

Austin I was a Passport Brother from 1980 to 1985 ,when I married my Afro Brazilian Queen we have been married almost 40 years.Iwas in east and west Africa. I saw this day coming along time ago young African American Men expanding outside of America.

Loved the content from Ghana and now I'm in love with Senegal. Keep them coming. 🇰🇪

Remember that the 1st Price is NEVER the actual price. You have to bargain in Africa esp in Senegal 🇸🇳

you should try and go Fathala wildlife reserve you’ll be walking with lions, you should also try going to Ngor island, And go to lac rose they have quads that you can go around the beach/city, there’s camels there too You should try MELO for brunch For breakfast try and go to Kèliba cafè or le jetcafè

Senegal is an amazing country. People are nice and have a beach culture. Women are fine and know how to dress. The best way to find women is clubs or be hooked up by a Senegalese person. Make sure to visit LAC ROSE( PINK LAKE), ILES DU SALOUM ( SALOUM ISLANDS) and VILLAGE ARTISANAL( Articrafts ). You need to find someone to hook u up with fine girls. Most of them are shy if they don't know you. I am a Senegalese residing in the USA.

This was a great video! Almost.had me in tears at of no return!! For the enlightened who love.history... Another reason why africa is amazing!! Definitely seems like a different vibe in senegal.

Good video. Finally you remained positive in the face of adversity & struggle. This is what it means so to be black... STRENGTH. The slave ports teach us how strong we are to survive such conditions, while white died under such conditions. We had all the skilled trades we took with us which whites learned then claimed they taught us. We were the Cowboys teaching whites how to herd. Whites were called cattlemen, never boy. Spread the word.

Auston Holleman, Ghana is after Rwanda ranked the 2nd friendliest country and the 3rd most peaceful in Africa. How could you not like the vibe or was it just you projecting your own misconceptions unto the people?

Dakar looks so beautiful. My kind of town.

This is such a culturally enriching video. I appreciate it!

I like how Senegal looks like the real Africa, it’s unapologetic, raw & different !

Dakar is expensive, but it's a good time overall. In the mall, there's a restaurant called Uno. There's some good food there. That's if it's still open. Also those yellow and black taxi's are legendary lol lol lol.. but Senegal has some of the best African art.

Very good content you are enjoying life... You have to learn a little wollof. Wow Wow means Yes deadet means no... Ngangadef means how are you or just say Sa Va in francaise CA va it means whats up.

I was always wondering why the Africans didn’t fight them and allow us to be sold ? Maybe those that were sold were of no use to them and and lower caste. I’m just saying

Thank you for this history vlog. It's different from other vlogs that show the slave castle in Ghana. I need to visit this island. Love it! I can't wait to see the rest.

😂 we haven’t seen his type before, so he want us to use drums and dancers to meet him at airport to feel welcome at home 😂 and the ladies no give you attention because fresh boys Dey, no one will mind you at GH 🇬🇭 everyone is chill you no go fii show us nothing 😂 the cheap mumu girls they other side not GH girls 😂

Hey Auston try to connect yourself with the locals so things can be easier for you.

Austin low key tired of Africa lets just say that😂

Check the vibe at Radisson Blu in the city. Usually they have a live band, great food and drinks. Thats where I stay when I visit.

Great video l did the slave tour in Ghana 🇬🇭 Cape Coast and Elimina 🇧🇧

Auston, since you in Senegal already and, you speak portugues, why not hit the Cape Verde islands.....I bet you'd love it there! Ijs

I’m still waiting on Ethiopia 🇪🇹 vlog would be so 🔥 especially as a black American!

This is one of the spots my family and I are considering moving too. Keep the content coming, it's needed.

Never wear white sneakers in Africa due to the dust.

Stay strong Auston. You were extremely drained on your last video in Ghana that it was hard to watch it. Glad to see you hv recharged & thank you for sharing history on our screens ❤❤

Did he walk into the pet shop looking for some food 😂

Always carry your passport there. Police don't play. I will be there at the end of the month.

Auston since you speak a bit of Portuguese, I suggest you visit Cape Verde which is a Portuguese speaking Island nation off the Coast of Senegal. Lot of the peoole are mulatto, a mixture of descendants of slaves brought there from Senegal and their Portuguese enslavers. I am sure you can take a boat from Senegal to Cap Verde.

Gambia is better language barrier than Senegal, they speak English

I don’t think you are supposed to show your pin to the world when withdrawing your money

Some of these African cities are like Nairobi in early 00s.

Wow! The area where your apartment is located looks quite interesting…😳Beside a chicken farm…😬 Yikes!

Super talented artist. I’m primarily in central and East Africa. Looking forward to seeing Senegal.

Eastern Africa Beach are the best for sure….Enjoy your stay in Senegal..They are good people with good food.

Im going for language classes soon. That story about slave treatment is really 😭

Hey Auston, I think you catch motorbikes taxi that will be more cheaper than car and again more faster.

I love this kind of video mate and the old man is expressing well but full of emotions.

Excellent video 👌👌👌Senegal is a vibe!

It's labor day holiday that's probably why everything is closed also the island and scenery is beautiful. That's for share you black eyes with us black men. Keep up the good work.

You're young AH enjoy yourself safely. Some countries/Cities r also mainly for retirement, just get important Infos for us, we're observing even when we don't comment. Shalom ✌🏿✈✊🏿🙏🏿

Do you use the Google translate on your phone?

I was in Dakar this year , nice city

Great job, Auston.

Living in Europe I’m always surprised when Americans say they have never been on a train. Trains are so common in Europe.

I enjoyed your hands on effort. I can make better judgment as a foreigner. The art is beautiful. Definitely want to see more.

Am glad you’re learning about west African history but it’s interesting how you came to Ghana, one of the most historical places in Africa which pioneered pan Africanism across Africa and started the year of return for all diasporas, also the first country to gain independence in Africa and helped other African countries gain independence and has the biggest slave castle in Africa but you failed to learn about the history. It’s rather unfortunate, however Ghana 🇬🇭 appreciates you for coming. ❤️ You are always welcomed and enjoy your stay in Senegal 🙏🏽

You need the translating device. You were talking about your allergies but she understood instead that you had a cold (enrhumé). So the medication you got was against cold not allergies. You could have been patient and waited there for someone who speaks/understands English.

Visited goree island twice it's extremely horrible to see how we were treated..but one conclusion that I have come to realize..their are millions of our peoples bones that lie at the bottom of the ocean, that would like to have our bones and flesh today..we have no right to give up as a people ..I know sitting at the door of no return my ancestors are now smiling say "Welcome back home "..this one made it back.. .

It is true you look like a west African.. especially from Nigeria

Very good vlog👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

I thought you were supposed go to Abidjan.

That animated intro was hella cool.

Bruh.. I love that Auston has a picture of himself as a screen saver on his phone. FTW.

I would suggest an over the shoulder bag instead of a satchel type.

Good video. Definitely more interesting than the Ghanaian content. You've piqued my interest in Senegal more. Got to learn French though before I go.

Awesome content!!

Darn! That msg would one day kick in and start taking a toll on the stomach. At least if he eats the local food he will have a better chance of living longer. Even if i am from the Caribbean i know Africans dont play with food. Also i stay in France and i see some semblance but Senegal seems to have its own style, a bit french but original. Besides French building mostly have extremely thick walls which isnt good for hot climates.

As a Kenyan, I always know Senegal 🇸🇳 is my favorite country in West Africa! Senegalese men are tall, dark and very fine with smooth skin 😍Also the women are very beautiful 😍 Senegalese are the most beautiful and attractive in the whole West Africa 😘 Senegal 🇸🇳 is far much better than Ghana 🇬🇭 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 especially in infrastructure! And I can see some Kenyans already looking down on Dakar saying that Nairobi is ahead! Please my fellow Kenyans, let’s stop this superiority complex we have and learn to appreciate other people’s uniqueness! Dakar’s transportation system is in fact better than what we have in Nairobi!

This is why you will like ivory coast. Reunion island,and those islands in that area. French people are lively as they drink in the morning. Lol. Also it's great that elder taught you to speak to anyone talking to you so you can find lots of friends that has your back. Community is #1 in Africa. Stay positive, slow to anger, stay strong & don't cry about things not being as you would like... just show with positive outlook, then gush over the places you do like. Respect all lands, then gush over your love of Kenya without comparing with a negative vibe. Or you will receive negative vibes. Ancient wisdom.

Powerful video! Really enjoyed this one ☝️

Hey man ,Cape Verde will the best country to go ,and Portugal colony

The wind is bad there in West Africa because of Hurricane season

Wall back option Google translate 😂😂

You wasting our time with this tourist crap - find the girls, find the clubs and show us what you know we want to see

To be honest. I find this content more interesting.

Austin about to have all the black RU-vidrs heading to Africa. Just watch.

Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭💞

Thank you for sharing that.

“My best friend is Akon” 😂😂

Thank you for sacrificing to give us content. I had not seen Senegal in that light. I may like the French flavor.
