I am from Samburu and I love this family's content across all the social media platforms. Always entertaining and informative.Show them some love and subscribe!
Thank you for the support Bernard 🙏 ❤️
Sad part is no one has a clue how long it takes to edit a video. Lots of people think it’s such an easy get rich life style. Personally I couldn’t keep up with creating a video a week with the crazy extra green screen etc etc etc I do. People haven’t a clue. Some people upload a full on documentary a week and it’s astounding. Even to research just music takes hours.
I had some people say just don’t edit your footage🤦♀️ unless you’re in the world people will never appreciate the effort you put it.
Love your channel and I completely get it. Keep up the amazing job💕
Yes you're absolutely right. Planning, filming, finding music, and editing, plus thumbnails and even thinking of catchy titles. It's a full time job 🤣
@@WhereNextFamily 100% agree. You could take an hour to find a perfect piece of music for a 30 second segment and no one wouldn’t even notice. It’s even more than a full time job and if you don’t turn up weekly and consistently you don’t get paid😩
I am rarely commenting on TH-cam videos but had to slide one in just because Adam said he is the one replying 😅. Props to you you guys! I'm a big fan of your work .....keep punching 👊
I appreciate it 🙏
But now I expect you to comment every time 🤣
Thanks for watching and the support ❤️
Malia is definitely a global citizen
Hopefully youll consider the western side of Kenya in the future . Rarely covered
We're working on getting everywhere! Where specifically is the western side? Which areas?
@WhereNextFamily Western and Rift areas include Naivasha, Nakuru, Kisumu, Eldoret, Bungoma, Kericho , Kisii etc
A kenyan fan. Always watching ❤
Thank you for watching ❤️
Awesome job guys keep pushing, love your stuff.
Thank you 😊
Loved it, lots of great questions answered
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really love the Q&As! You guys are awesome and I enjoy watching your channel. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks so much!! We enjoyed doing it too. Hopefully we can do it more often 🙂
Loved it.
Thank you 😊
I love your videos ❤
We appreciate your support, thank you so much ❤️
You guys are great!! Content is not easy. I love the photography and video yet not the time of post production. Kudos to you to continue to make wonderful content. Love the times I have visited various countries in Africa. So amazing! I enjoy the break to watch your content and feel like I am back there. Thanks!!
Yeah it's not easy but we love it!
Thank you for the kind words 🙏
I love this, I got answers to many of “my questions”. I’ll gladly hear more.
Amazing, thank you for taking part ❤️
Amaizing content
Thank you 😊
Keep the q&a coming..great video💯💯
Thank you! We will 🙂
Great to see you two happy 😊 , editing is tough it's lovely that you can lend each other a hand
Thank you 😊
Nice to see you have decided on Kenya as your base.
Thank you. So far, nowhere in the world feels like home as much as Kenya 🇰🇪 ❤️
Nice informative video. Keep it up
Thanks a lot
We love you guys tooo!!!! And what ever your decisions in life you make… im with you guys. 🙏
At the end of the video…Adam your shirt 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you 😊
Haha yeah it's HOT right now in Watamu 🤣
Love this!! Also omg I can't believe Malia is 6 years old. That's really cool and interesting that the cools will allow you to have Malia in school short term.
Yes time flies!
Yeah the good thing with international schools is they are quite used to dealing with people like us 😉
Good luck guys, fortune favors the Bold and brave🎉🎉
💪🙌
Great, factual, interesting, light-hearted and entertaining content.
Thank you 🙏
Very nice video as always! I love your content and it’s helps us choosing what to do in our next holidays in Kenya 🇰🇪 !
What we struggle with during our last stay was definitely transport (long distances without plane or train…). We used a taxis but they were going too fast and we rarely got the right size car as we were 4 of use with 4 big luggage’s…
Also would live to know more about the best to go to Samburu from Nairobi or Kisumu.
Thanks a lot for all your advices and videos 🥰
Yes you have to be very clear with the drivers and tell them to slow down.
It's nothing personal, they just like getting places as fast as possible. I always tell them when they are going too fast and also if they start texting on their phone I tell them to put their phone down.
Theres too many accidents happening here, and I won't think twice when it comes to my family
You're my best family TH-camrs, keep going guys
Thank you 😊 it means a lot 💛
I love seeing your growth. I subscribed to your channel when you had just over 1000 subs, and now that plaque doesnt seem too far off anymore. Keep grinding, you'll always get a view, a like and a comment from me. Shoutout from Nairobi 💯
Thanks for the continued support, and for being one of our OG subscribers 🙌
Would love more of these Q&As. Good interaction thanks guys.
My fav restaurant in Nairobi was Boho Cafe for lunch (Karen), Wasp & Sprout (eco cafe amazing coffee).
Thank you! We'll try to do them more often 🙂
We do love Boho as well! Also closed on a Monday 🤣
Why does everything close on Mondays?
❤ nice love
Thanks 🤗
Hey thanks for answering both my Q’s 6 & 9 😅 Adam you’re very wise 🤓That’s what my husband also says 1-2 months first before going all in. Thanks Ina I am trying to do all those things too 🩷
You're very welcome 🙂
Thank you for asking questions and being part of our video 🙌
We love you
We love you too!

Love you guys, love your vloggs, lovely couple. i have to be honest i do prefer your Asian vloggs as im off to Northern Thailand for two weeks
for the first time in june.
Questions im interested in, i have a massive fear of snakes, how do you deal with situations like that, this is one of my dreads with going to Thailand, remembering its not the norm to deal with snakes in England lol
How do you deal with mail, postage etc when your travelling as you obviously dont have a postman
Do you guys ever cook you own meals?
Do you think you will ever live in England again? if your daughter wanted to go back to live in England , would you go?
What did you both do before you discovered the world of social media?
How do you deal with extra luggage from buying new things?
Thanks for watching, we appreciate you 🙏
Hopefully we'll be back in SE Asia for a bit later this year so will have plenty more content for you. We know there's always going to be 2 camps when it comes to our content so we appreciate you being here anyway ❤️
Not saying this just because I’m from the beautiful continent of Africa 😜 but I think you both belong in Africa, you one of ours now! Love all your adventures and it’s so great to watch you as a family, such a fantastic experience and upbringing you giving Malia 😊. More Q&As will always be enjoyable and of course informative ….. Adam it’s time … 💍 🥂😃……. Soooooooooon maybe 😎
🤣 yeah I agree that Africa has us now. There's no going back!
As for the 💍.... I think we both choose adventure first 😉
I am going to refer you guys to the ministry of tourism to help in their marketing.
We're happy to help shine the light on this beautiful country ✨️
I visited Kenya saw you at the mall Sarit center alone no wife or your beautiful daughter wanted to say I freaked out am a Kenyan based in the USA
Ah that's cool, you should have said hi 🙂
We always appreciate meeting our subscribers ❤️

Keep putting out content. It will come!
You must make a child name him / her a masai or meru name . Or just call the kid masai mara 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
@Where Next Family,
Allow me to disagree with you on issues power and Internet. Kenya is among the top when it comes to Internet penetration and reliability, same to power apart from some days when there's a notice of maintenance.
If this is persistent in Watamu since i haven't been there, then that's one area problem not the entire country. We have fast Internet and stable electricity even in rural areas but of course it can't be 100% always and like u guyz said no where is 100% perfect
We did specify that some areas like Nairobi are much better with Internet, but our personal experience for most other areas outside of big cities is that the Internet is unreliable, but slowly getting better.
As for the power, we can only comment on Watamu and the issues are very persistent. That being said its still a place we love.
Keep in mind that this comment was comparing Europe and USA WiFi with Kenya, and if people are moving from somewhere that has super fast WiFi in Europe, to Kenya they will of course see a decreased speed and less reliable network. It's not an attack on the services in Kenya, just an honest comparison 🙏
Thanks for your comment ❤️
@WhereNextFamily Thanks for taking time to respond. Keep enjoying the Magical Kenya 🇰🇪 as you travel thr the world
Oh come on Adam ( Sorry Ina)....all you have to do is smile to get viewers. I am sure the male audience feels the same about Ina.
😅 haha thank you
❤❤
🙏❤️
