What It’s Like Traveling Europe With an African Passport | Paris Vlog

Hi, I’m Lerai — but you can call me Rai.

I’m a South African storyteller who is interested in Political Education. I’m 23 and figuring out theoigh documenting travel, identity, and what it really means to move through the world with an African passport.

This video was supposed to be my first time in Paris.
A winter escape. A love trip. A travel vlog.

Instead, it became something else entirely.

In this vlog, I take you with me from Berlin to Paris — and into an experience many Africans know too well: visa confusion, border control, detention, and the quiet reality of “mobility apartheid.”

This channel isn’t about perfect trips or polished highlight reels.
It’s about honest stories, global movement, culture, and navigating a world that isn’t built equally for everyone.

If you’re new here, welcome.
If this story resonates, you’re already part of the community.

More travels. More context. More truth — coming soon.

🤍
