    We left Kenya when we had already built our house and lived in it for 6 yrs. We still visit Kenya once a year and have continued to invest in both countries. I never plan to return home permanently. After I retire, I will live in both countries, spending winters in Kenya and Summers in the diaspora.

      Irony: I was born and raised in Taita.. Did my undergrad in Eldoret. I always felt a kiwaruu when past Wanginge and leaving the many Nrbi lights behind me. The kiwaruu will be replaced by dancing butterflies when the journey is towards Nrbi and you see those many lights.. Yes, now, all I want is to live somewhere in Taita or in Arusha/Moshi.

    This guy is super intelligent and self aware.
    This conversation was topnotch. I have a relative that I wished this guy had adviced him on how to evaluate return and steps to take if he returns. Imagine he is self aware that he has changed, the shorts part at the funeral was a great example. He made the right choice for a wife and am really glad they are taking steps to ensure their children benefit from both lives. His patriarchy perspective and how women shd be aware of ancestral land etc is very important. They are very intentional and their house is super amazing.
    That guy is smart and realistic 🎉🎉🎉 i will definately check out his u tube channel. Thank you Lynn so much. Blessings to his family that was faithful, and sorry for the loss of his siblings. Love from Uganda

    So much learnt. Congratulations on your hard work. Its not easy to put up such an amazing home. You have done great. Talking about giving back to the community, I supported a lady with 2 kids through my brother and after 2 years she withdrew saying that my brother was making money through her kids. According to her my bro was getting money from wazungus and just giving her very little. Many people have poverty mind set and that makes it hard to assist them. May God help us. Thank you Lynn and Wuon Odidi. Much appreciated

    Nice piece, that beautiful Cali fam...never knew they were relocating. Literally teared a little but guess I'm just too raw, just got back from home. Home/Kenya is a feeling siwezi explain aki. I wish Min O. Was in the interview too, nicest lady ❤.
    On Kings:
    1. What ownership document do they give to buyers routinely just heard the lady say they just started giving sectional titles now.
    2. Are the properties off-plan?
    3.What if I don't like any of their furnishing?
    4.What can buyers give as collateral for their properties if borrowing from a SACCO/Bank?

From my understanding your wife has really encouraged & motivated your moves that's why you are shining. She's not there for drama, competition & waste time but to give vision in your happy life & achievements. Congratulations for your both great achievement & growth. I admire how she treats you with creating peace, respect & being a submissive supporting woman. Good luck for your smooth marriage.

      To qualify for social security you need to have worked for 10 yrs at minimum, when you hit 55yr you can start getting benefits ata kama ni kidogo it will go a long way for you in Kenya.
      If you have investments in US, keep them, income in dollars will make you life in Kenya less of a struggle, don’t forget why you left in the first place.

    Congratulations, bro! I haven’t watched it all yet, but I was reading the comments. I've been living in the USA for seven years now, and I don’t think I’ll be returning home for at least another ten years. My goal is to reach a steady monthly income of around $250,000, possibly from real estate investments like apartments.
    Life in Kenya truly is amazing-the weather and everything else is fantastic. However, one of my concerns is the healthcare system. Here in the USA, they treat you first, and as long as you have good insurance, it’s manageable. But in Kenya, it feels more money-driven; they expect payment upfront. Having good health coverage is essential. That’s why I think dual citizenship is ideal-it gives you the option to return if you ever need extensive medical treatment.
