During his time in Africa, Daniel faced several challenges, including an unexpected incident with the military. One of them happened when he was given a stop sign. Obeying the order, he stopped, and one of the soldiers noticed the Colombian flag he was carrying on the back of his motorcycle. He asked him if he was from Colombia and, afterwards, with a smile, they shook his hand. However, the situation soon became confusing, as he was bribed by an agent who demanded that he pay for insurance that was supposedly not valid.
«I politely asked him to return my documents, explained that I was going to buy the insurance, but he refused and asked me to pay him the value of the insurance right there. As if by magic, after giving him the money, it turns out that now the insurance was valid.“, he narrated.
