I’m going there when I finish my school next year, insha allah
Im planing on visiting xamar, Cadadle (some other towns in middle shabelle maybe), guriceel, dhusamareb as far as hobyo and I might as well even go as far as Somaliland.
Awdal state is a good place to go, borama and zaylac have great people who welcome outsiders. My uncle is married to a gadabuursi and her family are great people. Just be careful when you go to Waqooyi Galbeed and other regions in the north. If you get into any sort of trouble then things might not turn out too good for you since you aren't a local.
