Two months later and I am still searching for the perfect apartment. I tour a 1 bedroom furnished apartment in Cape Town for under $700 a month? Apartments here go very fast and prices increase in the summer months (Dec -March)

Cape Town rent is the highest in South Africa. You need too be making very high salaries to afford rents, especially in certain areas like the City Bowl, Green Point and Sea Point. Possibly look at areas like Woodstock or Observatory, still close to the city yet more affordable. Love you videos. Making me miss Cape Town.

I live in Cape Town. Cape Town is very much a segregated city. The white governers of Cape Town have kept it that way on purpose. It's cleaner and quiet where the wealthy white folks reside and the popular tourist spots, because the city ensures that. Black neighborhoods have been left to rot. To give you an example, the black parts of the city flooded a few days ago, because the city does not care that the drainage system is maintained in these communities. It's not their priority.

Anywho, I never comment but I had to. Love your channel and have been watching your journey since the beginning. 🤎🥰 You've definitely inspired a lot of Americans to visit SA bc of your vlogs. 🤎🤎🤎

If they can replace the carpet take the apartment. The bathroom is not so nice either but you are not there to live forever. You can get cheaper places but then you will have to pay a lot of money in uber to get in and out. Or you will have to take them white minibuses with the crazy drivers.

Hi Julian, I am curious about something 😅 I seem to remember some time ago you said that you don’t cook, but I noticed that twice during this viewing you mentioned the importance of the kitchen for you. Please don’t think I am knocking that, one of the most important things for me is ALWAYS the kitchen. Like you, I left home as a “non-cook” but, after living in the UK for a while and craving some of the food my mom used to make, she was Jamaican/American, I started dabbling in the kitchen and because of my formulation science career, I quickly became quite good at cooking. Anyway, what I am curious about is, so, have you now started dabbling in the kitchen and have you learned how to cook ? Don’t “settle for a place” that is not really what you want. Perhaps you could try to find an interim Airbnb or short term apartment which hopefully might be cheaper than your current situation, while you continue your search. As always, I wish you all the best. 💕
