Introduction
Embarking on a journey to the land where my father’s stories came alive, Madagascar awaits, ready to paint my soul with its vibrant hues of nature, culture, and a long-lost heritage
This trip was created at the last moment, one of my greatest cousins was there and it was the best moment to visit this island, this journey will be very different to Dubai and Miami because this time I have no money I only pay for the plane airlines company… Nothing was planned 🤣 what I’m trying to say is in Madagascar if you have a little bit of money and trustworthy people you can survive… 🤣
Madagascar
I want to thank Balvor Battery which sponsors this article, I am kidding 😂 I don’t have the audience to do this kind of thing…
But I want to praise this object… This is probably the most useful thing I ever bought in my life, and I was very skeptical about carrying an external battery [Samsung Note 7] and lithium technology with temperature control, I don’t know…
To show how much I am sceptical about this I have a thermometer to monitor the temperature 🌡️of my bag…
 |  |  |
But for me, this is innovation the fact It carries solar panels, it’s not very significant but it allows extra energy to last longer for JBL Go 3, airports something like that…
 |  |  |
But when it’s fully charged I can charge everything, my Google Pixel 2 times, my Sony Z batteries, and the JBL amazing, I never run out of energy. Especially in Madagascar when electricity can be cut off, I have an LED panel and lamp which make the battery look fancy.
Here is the link for Amazon, if you travel somewhere electricity can be challenging this product is for you… I know it was a good idea.

Exploring Majunga: Unveiling Nature’s Wonders and Cultural Riches in Northwest Madagascar
My journey begins in Boeny, a captivating district in northwest Madagascar. It all starts in the vibrant city of Mahajanga, where the rich tapestry of Malagasy culture unfolds before me.

And who can resist the magnificent Baobab, where ancient giants stand tall, whispering tales of the past?

Conclusion
I kind of like this city, really I saw things which surprised me in a good way but in my mind I was surprised and not at the same strange.
What I have seen on this island is wonderful, and for me, Majunga is a busy city, I know this is just the tip of the iceberg, there are so many cities more beautiful like Tuliar Sanbava, Antananarivo, Nosy Be (no I’m kidding it’s a trap for tourists…) But all of this is for another day…
I have learned so much from these people. Humility, the quality of having a modest or low view of one’s importance, stands out. Patience is a constant in my life; not fully mastering the language and currency means I always have to rely on someone to accomplish tasks. Gratitude fills my heart—I can’t recall the last time I experienced a power outage. The joy the kids expressed when the electricity returned was indescribable; their screams echoed through the district.
This trip was a very good Family moment, we ate with each other, we traveled together, we sang together, and we danced together what a hell of joy and happiness.
But the most important happened to me is my faith, Dubaï failed to reconnect me with god because it’s a very good superficial city with a lot of mosques, but Majunga strengthened my relationship with god, I don’t how…
I want to quote the Quran:
O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.
49:13
And for me, a city like Dubai reflects this idea, and now Mahajanga.
I left this island with an empty Heart, people are very welcoming harmful joy, I know that I won’t find that kind of behavior in Paris… But I know for sure I will be back when I don’t know when exactly, the only thing I know is it’s gonna be big. For my next destination I have three ideas one of them is very convenient, the other one I already classified as a very dangerous Trip :D, and the last one is classical but very beautiful, I won’t say too much…
Now back to old business, video games, Fintech, and geopolitics… So many stories happen in the crypto industries…
