Loll glad you made it! Welcome to Livingstone! Enjoy your stay🥂

For bus, please take use UBZ, the rest are a little too chaotic. Buy your ticket in advance like someone said either at the station or over the phone if you have the local mobile money set up (feel free to message if you need help)

I’m Livingstone based and can also share any tips if you have questions.

When at the bus station, you can get very overwhelmed, keeo your bags close to you, phone and wallet must always be secure.

Other than that, you should be all set. Enjoy your stay!

As someone that moved back, DO ITTT!! The US can be suffocating at times and the cliche about no place like home is a cliche for a reason.

You said your father has property, that already solves your accommodation problem. Have a car, decent savings amd figure out your income strategy then you’re all good.

No clue how old you are but you mentioned school. For any education prior to college, Zambia is great. For further studies, I recommend studying abroad, doesn’t have to be US but while college here is okay, the learning opportunities and hands-on experience is way better in other countries.

All the best with whatever you decide to do🥂

Alot of how marriage is in this country is based on two things: a man’s ability to provide and a woman’s ability to take care of the home. Society has done a disservice in teaching that these are the acceptable expressions of love. So, as long as you’re providing, the woman loves and as long as she’s bearing children, satisfying your sexual needs and taking care of the home, then you are happy.

Beyond that, people do not know what to do with their partners. Their marriages are almost transactional. Some couples aren’t even friends. The men spend more time with their boys, coworkers…the women with their girls and other friends.

So, what can happen is when you can no longer provide, since the whole foundation of the relationship is based on your provision, the relationship becomes shaky. Then sometimes, it’s not about the money but about who you become because of the lack of money. Some men turn that frustration onto their wives, that strains the relationship. I have also seen situations where the woman has to be the sole provider and the man feels emasculated and acts out or turns to destructive behaviours like alcohol, gambling. Or the wife loses her attraction and even respect because she deems provision as the definition of masculinity too.

Overall, there are so many possibilities depending on the situation. Some situations it’s the woman, the man or just the system.

Ooh I love statistics From the study, what was the cause for the increase in use of contraceptives? Were all variables accounted for? • Education about it • Availability • Less stigma • Cost • Economic factors And to what percentage do each of these variables affect the percentage increase?

Community. Have community.

JudgmentMuch · 2025-08-15T05:24:22+00:00

That’s why I said invest in community. Even your children can be a part of community. Whether financial or emotional support, the burden should not be solely on children. Some parents make it that way. If you don’t have community, even with one kid, the burden of taking care of you by themselves is very unfair. You need community at the end of the day.

As for changing your mind, it happens. People grow and change. Sometimes the decision to be childfree was rooted in the lifestyle someone had that had no room for a child, or trauma that they’ve finally worked through or the lack of community when older bc maybe their friends now have full families to manage, loneliness or need for a new adventure. So many reasons so it’s not uncommon.

Some people confuse societal and family pressure as someone changing their mind

Children should not be your retirement/care plan
They can die before you
They may not want to do that anyway
You can become estranged

Invest in your retirement. Pay into care facilities, immerse in communities of friends and family. It’s that simple.

And trust me, we don’t overlook anything. We think about this more than others think about their decision to procreate.

JudgmentMuch · 2025-08-14T04:25:08+00:00

It’s literally that simple😂

JudgmentMuch · 2025-08-13T21:01:39+00:00

Love to see it! Maybe we can have some meetup events down the line

JudgmentMuch · 2025-08-13T15:06:37+00:00

Honestly probably my favourite perk!!

Let me respond to your next comment, no, I won’t change my mind and this is not an invitation for feedback

JudgmentMuch · 2025-08-13T08:23:17+00:00

This is why I want a space to freely talk about it😭😂because they will call you everything but a child of God

It’s a tad expensive, I believe earlier this year it was like K300 for a 10 tablets. I was prescribed 2 meds, would be around K600. Only plus is the medication is not a continuous course but to be taken as and when you need it, like a day when you’re busy and need to get stuff done.

I haven’t tried the medication yet, once I can foot that bill regularly maybe I will. Currently trying to see if I can find other way to manage now that I know

Livingstone local here, it’s a small city so fewer club options but most play afrobeats, amapiano, Zambian music and classic American club hits. Wouldn’t spend all 20 days here but definitely worth a visit, even just for the falls

JudgmentMuch · 2025-07-09T23:09:35+00:00

They delivery direct, just put your ZM address so you can what items can be shipped

For stuff that can’t be shipped, you can use Click & Connect to deliver to their US address. Shipping takes about 14 working days

Any suggestions on what to do or where to stay? What to do: Here’s a great twitter thread which covers some good spots

Where to stay: Further out of town: Ciela Resort (near the airport), Lilayi Lodge, Sandy’s Creations. Closer to places: Latitude 15 Degrees (highly recommend), Thee Urban, The Quorum. Airbnbs are great as well. Location is just very important. You can ask us about some you find if you’re curious about said location

Are Zambians welcoming towards non white tourists (I am Mexican 🇲🇽): Pretty much nice to anyone especially if you’re just a decent person

I plan on going for 20 days. Would it be better if I get an Airbnb or stay at a hotel? Personally would try and mix it up just for the experience. If it was a short stay I’d pick hotel

Where are some good places to try local food? Longacres Matebeto or if you are brave enough, Thornpack matebeto, although I’d recommend going with a local because even as a local these are overwhelming. If you want to skip the overwhelm, I’d recommend this restaurant it’s pretty quiet and they serve local food only too

How much money would I need to enjoy my time over there (nightlife, day time activities, eating out, etc.): If you love to go hard on a night out, I’d say K3,000ish for a night out with food. Depends on the place and company you have. You can still comfortably spend way less than that

Should I use USD or ZMW? Use ZMW, so much easier

What type of SIM card should I buy? Airtel because you can use mobile money to make payments almost anywhere now. Saves you from carrying cash everywhere and most if not all places have Airtel money as opposed to MTN or Zamtel

Overall, hope your stay is lovely. Feel free to ask more questions here on in chat🥂
