[Somalian_Boqor]

Now that I got the ticket in my hands I am excited and a bit Nervous.

Any tips will be appreciated

Get out of your comfort zone

Things might be a lil slow at first but become a local, do what they do and you should be fine.

Always travel with someone that knows the area before you get ripped off!

I am going along, but got family that will be waiting at the airport for me, I don't even know how they look like.

ps: Told them they should hold up a sign with my name on it, plus my cousin works at Galkayo Airport so he will be the first person I see.

Get your vaccinations
Diarrhea pills
Malaria pills
Sunscreen
No brand/designer clothes, you will stick out. Try neutral stuff.
Don’t bring along your new Iphone, bring an old phone instead – as people are going to ask you to give it to them as a gift when you leave.

Hmm…those are the essentials

Read from a U.N report that Galkayo Water was the best in the country, so I think I will be good in that department.

Thanks for the tips anyways

The pills are scaring me bro, why would I need Diarrhea and Malaria Pills?

And how does not avoid brand/design clothes coming from the States? Should I bring nothing and just start shopping once I get there?

ps: I already been warned about the cellphone.

You will definitely need Diarrhea (just in case you get ill) and Malaria Pills (everyday).

Even in dry areas such as Puntland there are some cases of Malaria, especially in towns with sewers.

Just don’t wear brand clothes, you will stick out like a sore thumb, everybody will immediately know your from abroad even strangers. Just wear normal looking non-brand clothes.
