I'm so proud of you! Anyone can live that same life in Africa instead of the United States. No place is perfect in this world, but Africa is where I'm going to live among my people.
Lance favors his grandma. She’s very pretty. The stores are very neat and clean, beautiful city.
Thanks so much, I see a resemblance too 💗💗
Wow! This pretty woman should have been a journalist, the presentation is on point with good communication skills, u deserve an African husband because u so down to earth and smart, i love u so bad, big up from an african brother living temporarily in Austin, TX.
Thanks so much ♥
I majored in Broadcast Journalism in college :)
This is a nice video and you look so happy..as a Namibian it is nice to see it from your perspective.love and light to you and your family
YES YES YES more videos please!!!!! You inspire so many people in the Diaspora to make that move!!! Gave the video a like before even watching lol !
THANK YOU! 💗
That was nice! Thanks for taking us along for the ride to Windhoek. The view was lovely. And hi Lance! What a sweet little guy he is.💕😄🇺🇸🌞
Thank you!! ♥
Hi Caylan, you do it so well and I am truly proud of your work. Thank you for being uniquely you 🥰 bless your family.
Thanks so much 💗

My favourite TH-cam channel
Hi Kaylan, beautiful video. Thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much ♥♥♥
Your mom was a beautiful lady. No wonder you are so gorgeous yourself.
Thanks so much ♥♥♥
This reminds me so much of my homeland Zimbabwe. I speak Shona in Zimbabee, those mountains, Omatako, is the same or similar meaning in Shona. It will be, Matako, minus the letter O.
The same with my language in Uganda. (Luganda )Matako minus the O . It’s the same thing in Swahili Matako minus the O
My family will live in Namibia one day soon!
Namibia seem to have a very chill vibe. You are out in the suburbs and don't have a car how do you get around since it's a new community with only a few houses built? Lance looks like Mama.
We take taxis! And yes, Lance is a male version of me :)
Ow wow...KAYLAN YHU BASED IN OTT??? HOPING TO MEET THU AND LANCE ONE DAY😊😊😊
I like that look while you were in the car going back home. Thursday
Very nice.
You are nice and mature, your son is always smiling its so cute. Namibia is beautiful i would like to visit. I love your Videos.
much love from Zambia
I really enjoy that episode thanks for sharing 💕
Thank you! ♥
Namibia doesn't seem as populated as other African countries
Your skin looking good
Thank you! ♥
Lance's hands...💀🤣😂🤣..
😂🤣
Great job.
Beautiful
Hi how much was the hotel per night? USD
Outstanding! No theater. Stream Netflix
Your presentation skills are next level. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
Thanks so much! Appreciate it!
Beautiful Namibia fr Jamaica
Have you guys ever thought of moving close to the capital city? I assume that there will be more variety there.
Yes, I wouldn't mind living there!
I lived there a few years ago :)
Hi Lance! 🤗👋🏾🐶🍦⚽️ 😍 Cameraman in training! Namibia seems like an interesting little town. Please, being a sister NYer, is there anyplace in the city or lower Westchester you would compare your town to, just to get an idea? (Oh nooooo Wally World has infiltrated Afrika! 🥺😩) Thanks for sharing!
Hmm, some parts of my town are kind of like Mt. Vernon or New Rochelle while other parts of my town are not like Westchester at all.
Your son is so cute
Thanks so much ♥
You are no longer in abroad. But comfortable home
More like Sam'S Club.
I am Namibian and I must say it’s so refreshing seeing Namibia through your eyes. Thank you my Namibian sister👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾👍🏾🇳🇦🇳🇦💐💐
Thanks so much 💗💗💗
So sad that in aimErikkka they ONLY show Africa being destitute,poor,dirty and grim! Wonderful that you show the better side of the Mother Land!
OMG AFRIKA IS SOO BEAUTIFUL WAAW
IT LOOKS MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EUROPE
I LOVE THE WAY THE PLACE LOOK
I moved with my family from America to the UK 10 years ago. I will say this, you are not "abroad" anymore my dear, you are home 😉
barz4dayz 🌬️ I'm contemplating on moving to the UK, near Citrus Heights, PLEASE share any work sites or tips when time permits. Blessings
barz4dayz can i kindly ask why u left the US if u dont mind? My dream is to b in america and i currently live in uk
Namibia is beautiful, I have always been fascinated by Southern Africa as an East African ..You have a lovely family
Kua proud of kwenu. Hapana lamba lamba watu.
Its amazing that the language is somehow similar to swahili like the name of the two mountains.
Whole southern Africa it's beautiful,I mean Namibia,Botswana,Angola,zambia,south Africa , Zimbabwe,Malawi ,Swaziland, and Mozambique..
I’m sitting here in America like WOW. If it wasn’t for TH-cam vloggers like you and others, a lot of us living elsewhere would not have a clue about the continent. Thank you.
Hi family! Lance is handsome little one. Your face is gorgeous and you look at peace with self & family! Missed seeing earrings! Blessings to you and yours!
I like your presentation, it’s professional, you should work for some Namibian net works.
Thanks so much, appreciate it!
I love these basic videos because people really need to see that life is NORMAL in Africa. Thanks you so much for this!
Your family is gorgeous!!
🥰🥰
Thank you ♥♥♥
The capital looks clean and well organized 👌. Not congested like Lagos Nigeria or even my capital city, Kampala Uganda.
Or Accra Ghana
One day I want to come to Uganda and experience Bodabodas
Hello family. I loved this video. I hope to visit Namibia. Have you ever been to Swakopmund, Namibia? If so, would it be a nice place to visit? Look forward to your next video. Do I have to get a vaccine to visit Namibia? Also, I love your hair.
Hey guys awesome video love love Lance smile 😊 💖. Your locs are getting long. I remember when you first started. You look refreshed and lovely. My family love tuning in. Thanks for the content.
If you remove the ,"O" the mountains mean the same thing in Swahili
same in zimbabwe. dako-singular buttock/ garo
Faith S. The power of African languages
I remember coming across your channel some time ago. Welcome back home sister.
I don't think there is such a thing as African American, just Africans in America. Good wishes and blessings to you and your family.
Lance is so adorable, does he speak the native language where he attends school or does his dad teach him the language? I hope that not too personal, I was just curious. Greetings from NYC!
Yes we teach him, lol
He said Tate Wange which means my dad / my father.. The rest is English.
Eliz, you heard him say Tate too :) I didn't know if anyone caught that :)
Hiii! At his school they speak English and Afrikaans and at home we mostly speak English but my husband also speaks to Lance in his mother tongue which is Oshiwambo :)
Namibia doesn't seem as populated as other African countries
Yes we are just about 2.7 million.
Wow, OMATAKO translates to buttocks just like in the Kongo's language from Congo, MATAKU translates to buttocks as well, similar phonetic and same meaning. I guess Namibians are the same Bantu peoples as Congolese are.
yeah,her husband is from one of the bantu tribes
The vast majority of Namibian inhabitants found in the central to far northern part of the country are of bantu origins. Ofcourse some words are spoken the same but may have different meaning. In this case the word Omatako translates to the🍑 back side in otjiherero, themba, bemba and oshiwambo languages.
I am a big fan of your channel! - a random Korea guy who happens to live in Tanzania.
Wonjae Lee Tanzania is arguably the most beautiful country in Africa. Along with Namibia, Botswana, South Africa,Uganda, Kenya, Morocco .
Namibia where desert meets the ocean so fascinating
Youre afrikan you just got to reclaim your culture
Blessings to your lovely family. I'm Namibian and I enjoy your content;).
Thank you Tina!! ♥
U told Lance's dirahhea business🤣🤣 Show him that when he is older for sure.
Lol, I cracked up right here🤣🤣
😂😂😂 oops
Sis thanks for posting. Africans being cousins. The two hills u said amatako meaning buttocks is spoken almost all over Africa, as far as Ivory coast moutu meaning same thing.
Being that you are in Africa for a while now, have you made any good friends to hang out with? Do you send Lance to camp in the summer? Or do you have school in June/July because it’s cold outside. Do they have Jamaican restaurants there too, just curious it’s nice to have different foods from time to time. I love your stories of Namibia. I love Africa and learning about the countries there. If you want to watch fun TH-cam Woda Maya has a great channel bringing Africa to the world and breaking stereotypes. Miss Trudy also has a cute channel.
Hi! Yes, I have some close friends but most live in another town. They don't really have summers off like in the U.S. The biggest holiday time off from school is xmas break. They do have school in June/July still. I don't know of any Jamaican restaurants here but I do know a few Jamaicans here! Thanks for sharing those channels!
Nice trip. For me anything Walmart related will still get boycotted as I will never let up on them until they go under as they mess up communities by putting the prices low at first until the drive out the competition then jack their prices up on the community.
Wow. Lovely Video. Please visit South Africa...come see the beauty of S.A
Namibia is a beautiful country, namibia is a country im considering visiting and living there, i really enjoy your videos I learn so much from your work..
Namibia looks so calm amd peaceful...hope to visit there one day.
Lance looked like he was talking his father's ear off in the Sunday scene😆
He definitely was! Lately, he talks our ears off 24/7 😂
Yes Game is owned by Walmart, we also have it in South Africa
Your little king reminds me of my grandson. Have a safe trip!
Lots of South African stores in Namibia. Game, Pep, OK and Spar... Interesting ☺️
Can you imagine matako is buttocks in Swahili as well... Lots of love from Rwanda though am a Kenyan
Yeah...is nyama also meat in Swahili? We have a lot of similar words
All those African languages are related. They derive from the Bantu family of languages
Matako is also buttocks in Chichewa, a language spoken in Malawi and nyama is meat. Bantu languages are interrelated.
😂😂😂😂omatako..?hahaha Swahili (east Africa)word for butts is matako thus tells me Namibians are Bantus.
I love watching videos like this. It may seem boring to you but it is really interesting to those of us who have never been to Namibia. Thank you for sharing.
Greetings from the US loving you and the family's life it's inspiring keep bringing the videos showing us how life can be without all the stress and worries
Waiting on Namibians to change the capital city name away from colonizer German language
Thank you for the sights and sounds, you and your family are so beautiful. I felt like I was really there with you all, even though I’m currently in cold, dark, dreary, and damp London. It looks so peaceful over there, and the land is gorgeous. “Lance Cam” was great haha!.. Perfect little helper for mom ❤️
Thanks so much!! ♥
It seems that both of you are lucky to be together
I enjoyed seeing this snippet of your life. Next time share the beauty shop! One of my fave things to do when I travel around the world is go to a beauty shop.
😊 Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog! Namibia 🇳🇦 is beautiful! Thanks 🙏🏾 for taking us to the capital and allowing us to see the countryside! Beautiful ⛰ mountains! So inspiring! Your son is so sweet! He has a beautiful smile😃! ❤️ how you captured your son opening his grandmother’s Bible and adoring 🥰 her picture! 🙌🏾 Glad you and hubby had opportunity to celebrate 🎉 LOVE on 💗Valentine’s Day! ✌🏾
You have such a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing!
Love this family....more videos wit ur husband plz. Show us wat u guys do for dates in Namibia❤❤❤
Mzungu’s are everywhere wow !!! 😳
🤣🤣😂.where are u from? Southern Africa is like tht
When we gained independence our leaders didn't chase the white people out...there was just a change in systems
And they tell you Africa is dangerous. Who's being fooled here and falling for the lie.?
They're concentrated in Southern Africa. Namibia, like South Africa, also suffered a lot from Apartheid.
Namibia has a about 10% born mzungu's since colonial times
NAMIB means ‘vast desert’ ... looks like *vast GREEN SCAPES* to me! Beautiful landscapes! Shalom 🙌
I get so excited when I see a new video from you! Blessings to you and your beautiful family. Thank you for showing us in the Diaspora your beautiful life. ❤️
Thanks so much ♥
The memories! I love your uploads. Reminds me of my stay.
Correction, my family AND I, will live in Namibia one day soon!👍
Nnayaha Gadite you are welcome to the land of wide, open spaces and it’s friendly people.
🤲🏾🤲🏾🤲🏾
Thank you for uploading this video. I know the day/week in the life videos are usually the hardest to make, so they're highly appreciated and enjoyable to watch.
Thanks so much for watching as always Czar!
You are very thorough. You focus less on yourself and give us a broad view of the country
wow so beautiful
Great Video felt like I was actually in Namibia. 😊
Thanks for sharing. Nice video. What is the population of your town?
Same reference in Swahili spoken by a majority of East Africans.....
Very beautiful video. I love to see you guys doing things as family
Matako for battoks means the same in most southern African , central African languages and Swahili in east Africa .It's a Bantu word I guess
Yeah it's same in Uganda and Kenya
Including in Shona in Zimbabwe
Good Job sisi, we love you💖💖
Keep it up
Do you have a surprise? You are glowing!
Haha no not yet 😉
Wonderful video, Namibia has beautiful scenery
You do a great job on your videos. I and the wife are retirement age and wonder if Namibia would be a good place for us to nest.
WOW Sis, Absolutely AMAZING... To echo some of the other comments, you and your family look at Peace and GLOWING... Thank You for sharing... I would like to know what you are doing after your year long volunteering as a teacher... I too; am an English teacher born in England... I have traveled to some amazing countries using my teaching qualificatiins. I would LOVE to use my profession to LIVE THE DREAM of living/working in OUR MOTHER LAND... Any advice ? STAY BLESSED... 🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👌🏾🙋🏽♀️
OMG that omatako word we speak it in Uganda & it makes the same thing though for us we don't have #o ( matako) in luganda 😂
