travelling is meant to be something of a choice and want. But we see that there is a lot of discrimination when it comes to that. What i mean is that when we Africans whant to go to any country i.e travel we are pu through alot of stress from the applying for visa toeven purchasing af airline ticket. Some airlines in my country Nigeria do not accept our local currency and requires us to purchase our ticket in dollars which is very hard to obtian. Also some
embassy put you through alot that at the end you are very frustrated and stressed out.Even some African countries do it to fellow africans. why all these someone please answer?

It is not just in Africa that traveling has become a problem. I believe that traveling was never really easy, it was just more of a conveniance. Personally, I believe that trains and boats are the best ways to go. But, now security has increased because violence has increased around the world.
I wish our world was a global village, but it never was. The different countries of the world are becoming more and more protective about their identities, which builds a barrier against those who are different.
Changing currency should not be difficult, but I am sure that it is. Many places do not bother because they may think that only the rich of Africa travel, and maybe they carry the American currency? Really, I do not know. Sorry I could not answer your questions more fully.
