    thing I love about your channel is, unlike some other channels of north americans living in Kenya, you are living like a Kenyan, you are an immigrant. You are not an expat.

    GREAT. You’re a great woman for your simplicity and acceptance of what arguably is foreign to you. I also love village life and wish to return home in the near future. I’ve lived in the States for about four decades now. The African woman that I brought here hoping that we will return to the village after educating her turned against me and refused to return to Africa! I made a second mistake by bringing another girl who was even worse. After wasting about $0.5M on divorce and child support, I DO NOT TRUST ANY AFRICAN WOMAN AGAIN! To see that you are happy living in a foreign country speaks very highly of you. Wish you the very best and long life. Enjoy nature. I’ve not been to East Africa before but will do someday for safari.

    Looking great. There is so much to do in Kenya. Your new home looks great. Look at for investment opportunities. Set up resorts around Nairobi particularly around the rift valley ngong,kimuka and suswa roads. On the ridges surrounding oloiting, olmaroroi area ( olmaroroi house ), check out diani, galu area, laikipia near maiyan, etc. These investments will not only make your lives in Kenya better and busier but will constantly earn you some tidy income as you offer employment opportunities to the many young people in Kenya.
