I love this video. I got a chance to go back to Juba last year for the first time in 10 years and my experience was similar. I relate to the surrealness of it all. One thing I was unexpectedly touched by was being surrounded by the presence of people who look just like me. Did you notice that as well? And I agree, witnessing the wealth disparity in real life was unsettling. It definitely stirred something in me as well.

Omg I’m from north Sudan my mom tells me stories when Sudan was one she said the south had the most beautiful fertile lands with mangos falling out the tree she wasn’t lying🔥😂💯🇸🇩🇸🇸💓

So beautiful that you captured this. I'm from Zimbabwe, but currently living in Australia and I too wish some African countries got more exposure from people with a real connection to them. This video is a perfect step in that direction.

Achan I love this video. As a South Sudanese women who’s never been able to visit back home, I’m so grateful that you took your time to vlog your trip. This video truly gave me a sense home.🥹🙌🏿💐

I love South Sudanese people, the most beautiful people in Africa. ❤from 🇸🇴

this was a masterpiece Achan!!!! I can’t pick a favorite moment - you killed it and you are amazing. so many moments touched me ❤

Hello im a South Sudanese living in Dubai and im genuinely so glad to see videos like this. I hope you enjoyed South Sudan as much as i do, God boss

Love it when the girlies go home😍😍

I am KENYAn and I used to have SS friends in highschool.. I wish I could one day visit south Sudan.. JohnGarang, Daniel Barach..Matiop Deng.. I miss those guys🔥🔥

I love the idea of going back to one’s mother land. It really is always an eye-opening experience to see how your people are living and what life would be like if you were there. May God bless Africa🫶🏾🌍

Beautiful video! I'm Liberian and by the grace of God I was able to visit Liberia again after 23 years in July of 2023. Your video inspires me to share my trip experience, I truly believe that God is bringing the younger diaspora of Africans back to the motherland as a testimony of His goodness, for His glory and honor and for us to give back to our people with the resources that God has blessed us with. I pray that as we get older we can visit the motherland often to help our people and advance the Kingdom of God

i was in sudan most of the summer and it was the most beautiful experience ever. It made me more open minded and grateful for everything little thing in my life, and also was so refreshing to be around so many ppl who were so similar to me.

this was such an eyeopening experience just to watch honestly! i hope this will reach others and i’ll definitely encourage donations for Sudan!!!

the way i LOVE this video so much??😭 like every aspect of it makes me miss village life in nigeria. i was fortunate enough to have been born there/live there for 5ish years, but also travel home every Christmas afterwards. but because of c*vid i haven’t been back since 2019-2020 but the relatability between our village life is OFF the charts, from the : - goat (my grandpa had a goat pen & i turned them into my pets, b4 they were made to be food😭) - using a stick to get fruits from the tree - THE FLIES?? - the roads (doesn’t help when the car is hella crammed 😭) - not knowing the full language - prayer into the new years i can’t wait to go back this year, but its a shame that both of our governments are letting down our countries 🇳🇬❤️🇸🇸

Literally love this!!!!! ❤❤❤

You captured this so beautifully

Very beautiful Achan, I love your heart💗 ~ as an ss that hasn’t been back home I appreciate your pov. Change will come to South Sudan🇸🇸

❤❤❤God bless you......South Sudan will stand on its feet ....with more people like you .....hope is restored all the love from South Africa❤

This is such a beautifully edited and educational video. Loved it!

This humbled me so much, I just thank God for life.

This video was having me smile from so much admiration of your experience. From the shops, to the nature scenes, to seeing the community and especially seeing you and your family together appreciating the beauty of everything. Obviously I’m sure the whole trip wasn’t sunshine and rainbows yet I’m happy you had this transformative experience yk… within yourself and with your passion for highlighting South Sudan as a country along with advancing the country as well. Beautiful video Achan :)

This was beautiful Achan, thank you for sharing this journey!

Wonderful video Achan! I'm South Sudanese as well but born and raised in Canada so I could definitely relate to some of the things you mentioned in your video. Hope you've had a great start to the new year.❤

Amazing work!

Thoroughly enjoyed! one of my fav videos!!

What an amazing adventure for you and your sister, to go back to the land of your ancestors. This is what makes America so special and the best country on earth, we come from everywhere!

excited to see the filmmm

Omg this is so cool to see. I’m 21 as well, living in Australia and have never been back home too 😭😭 but hoping to go soon.

I love the way you narrate. I am preparing to visit SS for holiday.

best vlog ever, loved every second

Wodemaya has some really great videos in South Sudan. But yours were really great too. Very cool perspective.

Am from Zimbabwe I really enjoyed watching this and thanks for the exposure we want more content like this ❤❤❤

Wow. This really spoke to me. I’m also a first gen American and I haven’t been back to my home country since I left at 2. It’s a lot to see but from a fresh set of eyes. The cinematography, the message, the story. Truly Beautiful. Please continue to spread awareness and truth the way that you do it’s so inspiring!

Visiting home must be such a humbling and touching experience. This video if anything makes me more excited to visit home one day, you are all so beautiful and I just know your parents very much needed that taste of being back home, worry free and feeling like home. ❤❤

Thank you for this, from Kenya

Amazing!! Thank you for sharing!! 🙏❤️ bless up Achan

Loved it, greetings from Mali, West Africa

This is so beautiful

aww, this is so beautiful I never thought you were from Awiel!!! So am I , I love that you got to experience the home life

Great Vlog 😇, Loved every minute of it.

Thank you for this video! I really enjoyed watching! It would be amazing to be able to visit there one day! ❤👍🏻👋🏻

This is a magnificent video.

I love this vlog so much! I’m going back home soon & plan on vlogging so this was so fun to watch . Bless 🖤🙏🏿

i loved that you kept sayin Sudan sudan ...... it warms my heart

I will have my eyes on Sudan. I appreciate the time and energy it took for you to show us your beautiful country and also share your seemingly lovely family. Much love Achan. ;))

Watching this from your perspective as someone’s who’s grown up at/around home all my life is so beautiful. Ps, I’m from Aweil as well!! And my step mom is from Marialbaai🤍

Hello Achan, I ran into your YT vlogs at random. By pure accident, if such a thing exists! It's heart-warming that you (instinctively) refer to yourself as Sudanese, then qualifying it as South Sudanese! You have done it more than once, and in other videos, too! You did not edit them bits out, nor bothered with a retake to have it fixed. That means a lot. In fact one can say it's only a reflection on the obvious: the bigger Sudan is still in your blood as WE ALL, Northerners and Southerns feel deep down ourselves. Incidentally, you profile says you are a curator. I am curious; are you working in a museum? And what did you major in at uni? Regards, stay well sis and keep the good work Mazin Sakharov (Maaz Abdalla)

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO

Keep going, Achan. Home is home no matter what.

its a very good introduction and content .... girl you did its really fire keep it up

I am a South African and I must say I absolutely enjoyed this content. I loved everything about it even the "underwhelming airport", yes it could be better. A lot of improvements are indeed needed there but I could actually live there among others and actually have a good time. Thank you,beautiful Sudanese sister.

S.Sudan is on my list on countries I wanna vlog in this year.

this is beautiful

Thank you, Achan, for your great video. Thank you also for visiting Aweil or South Sudan. South Sudan is a great country. We just have poor leadership, which might change in the future. There are a lot of beautiful places in South Sudan that you haven't seen.

Thanks, Sister Achan...South Sudan has a great future, and we are so proud that we have such a beautiful country. Some people might despise S. Sudan, but will be prove wrong with time. What we need for now as S. Sudanese is good leadership. The rest will be a history. There is no naturally beautiful land like South Sudan...it is our pride❤

OMGGGGGG I WENT TO YOUR GRANDPA’S SHOP WHEN I WAS IN SOUTH SUDAN

Such a beautiful video. I loved your cinematography skills! You spoke so eloquently and had wonderful messages to share- about taking daily things in our lives for granted and seeing immigrant parents in their hometowns is always such an unforgettable experience. !! Which camera did you use to film this? Would love to see how your still photos came out!!

Well done. Great vlogging. I am thinking to go myself. This has encouraged me.

Amazing❤❤

I love it keep it up ❤🎉

Great video hopefully more South Sudanese watch this

I’m Somali and have never been back back home, hope I do one day soon. This video is so beautiful!!!

Beautiful video Achan! Try to learn Dinka, so you wont be lost when your parents are old.

I love being home, just like you i prefer the village where my parents are from, I've travelled to Rumbek and Aliab. You captured great footage! Oh and don't worry girl, there's always someone that gets annoyed with you filming. This guy yelled at me but oh well 😂

I worked in South Sudan for 3 years, so l can relate to the video.
