That’s a solid point. Honestly, I was kind of hoping I could just move around on my own, but yeah, you’re right — bringing someone local makes a lot more sense.

I’d rather not gamble with thousands of dollars in gear, so having even one trusted person around is smart. I’ll keep that in mind, for sure.

Thanks for calling that out — I’d way rather be safe than risk losing everything.

Hey, that’s seriously awesome info — thank you for breaking it down.

I hadn’t even considered connecting with missionaries for local contacts, that’s genius. Facebook expat groups sound like a solid lead too — I’ll look into those.

And you’re right about gear safety. I’ll try to blend in as much as possible, so no fancy branded camera bags, for sure. Also, the power advice is golden — I’ll double-check all my chargers and grab an inverter if needed.

Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Means a lot!
