I Left America for South Africa… And I Was Wrong

I left America for South Africa thinking I understood the differences. I was wrong. In this video, I reflect on how moving abroad has changed how I see America, ans South Africa. I'll dive into the culture, people, expectations, and the things we assume about each other from a distance. From Cape Town to back home in the U.S., living in South Africa has challenged my perspective in ways I didn’t expect. The stereotypes, the headlines, the social narratives — they don’t always match reality. If you’ve ever thought about moving abroad, or starting over in a new country, this is what that shift in perspective actually feels like. — 🎥 Frankie with a Cam American living in South Africa Cinematic travel & cultural storytelling 📍 Filmed in Cape Town, South Africa If you’re thinking about moving abroad or visiting South Africa, I share real experiences — not just surface-level travel content.
