My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what it’s like to live in Ghana and other parts of Africa, from the food, to the culture, to the lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and other African countries.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.
I'm Jamaican haven't been to Africa but, Kenya is number 1 for me. I've watched how Kenyans have treated Jamaican musicians like long lost family and have been simply amazed. No other African country treats Jamaicans like Kenyans. And the reactions of Jamaicans in Kenya is pure love.
Be free dear Jamaican brother.... Africa is your homeland, all countries south of the Sahara desert are your own people. Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬😍
You right brother, I found home in kenya when I visited first...its where I will definitely retire
True brother, we love Jamaicans and reggae music. Jamaica is on my bucket list. One love from 🇰🇪
We got more Jamaicans in Ghana 🇬🇭 than in Kenya. .most from the UK.. notable Rita Marley. Greetings from Ghana.
Very True No country in African can beat Kenya when it comes to the love of Reggae music. TH-cam comments on Reggae songs will tell you. I know SA n zimbabwe loves reggae too.
As Nigerian I love Kenya and the people in general, they're very civil and patriotic not just to their country but to other African Nations, Kenyans are the best
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for your kind words Sir ....🇰🇪 Kenyan here.....we love Naija...
Wow we are humble❤
Nigeria is my first love and desire to visit but Kenya and Ghana are definitely welcoming to the eye. I enjoy reading these messages of support for each other.
We love Nigeria 🇳🇬 as well. Our big brother economy in the west of our continent
I just want to say thank you to everyone visiting Kenya and admitting how lovely the country is .❤ We welcome you all.

They mostly come for views and then start spitting on Kenyans after their channels grow!! Like the Freedom Chasers!
True.. Kenyans are something else 😂😂
Internet penetration and usage in Kenya is just amazing. TH-camrs are flocking Kenya to have a share of subscriber-rich country.
Let’s thank Bitange Ndemo for our incredible fast internet speeds they rival the 1st world
@@sophymwangiWhich first world country internet have you used? Personally I've travelled to many countries and South Africa's internet is the best in Africa. Morocco & Tunisia have impressive coverage & speeds too. I wouldn't rank kenya anywhere near top 50 countries globally for the best internet. In Africa it's good, but don't compare it to 1st world. First travel to 2nd world countries like Korea, China, Qatar, Kuwait & undertake a comparison. Experience it on a personal level and then come back with the results.
I visited Kenya this year. I must admit I was very impressed. I found it more advanced than my country. I think west Africans just make a lot of noise 😂. We definitely need to learn a lot from Kenyans. Even their manufacturing industries are top.

Kenya is not an African state, it is an African Country just like the 53 other countries. Africa is a continent.
@@asa463Doh 🙄 Please keep
Up with your dictionary. State means country or nation. So yes Kenya is a state/country/nation. At least @mikesam8153 understands it’s own of many countries in Africa…. Unlike most westerners who assume Africa is one country

I like that African TH-camrs are pumping out a realistic image of Africa. Both in the city and in the country. A lot of myths and NGO narratives being changed. Congratulations and hope you visit many more African countries.

Ain't going to lie Jasmine and I hate to compare but Kenya has better infrastructure than Ghana. From the airport to your hotel looked very clean and well built.
It is an obvious truth. Problem we have in Ghana is, we always brag we have that and that, but my extensive travel to so many countries makes Ghana look like undet developed but overhyped. La Cote D'ivoire is even more beautiful than Ghana when it comes to road networks, city planning, etc
@@themotivatortv
Wait for Ghana though ..that gold and oil is going to amount to something. Kenya has no minerals to talk about! Soon, Ghana will have many more firsts.

Welcome to kenya
I know KENYA is more advanced than Ghana. They have good roads and more skyscrapers than Ghana. Cost of living far cheaper than Ghana. In fact, real estates with well planned communities far better and cheaper than Ghana. Ghana is my country but Ghana is OVER-HYPED AND OVER PRICED DUE TO ENORMOUS CORRUPTION
@@themotivatortv.. Don't say that..Kenyans cry too Abt corruption..Hope all of Africa just stops this demon called corruption..One love Africa
@@bella-qz6lsAbsolutely!
@bella-qz6ls I personally come from Ghana so I no vividly what I'm saying. Where in Kenya would you import something overseas say $20,000 and you pay $18,000.00 as JUST AN IMPORT DUTY on it? That is 92% import duty on item you just bought overseas. This has happened not even long ago. Just a week ago. I imported steel bars from China only to be slapped with this abnormal duty charges in Ghana, $18000 ( Solid American Dollars). Ghana is so corrupt beyond repair, if still doubt me, please go on TH-cam and compare prices of goods and services, compare real estates. While you can buy a very nice house in good neighborhoods in Kenya for say $150,000, to $300,000, the same in somehow average neighborhoods in Ghana, will triple the the price if not quadruple.

East Africans grow a lot of chilli but rarely consume it compared to west Africans. We rarely use lots of spices in our meals.
💯. Kenya Coast dishes are quite spicy and Asian cuisine compared to most Kenyan staple meals.
The story about the matatus was nostalgic to me because in Ghana mini buses are called tro-tro because when they were also introduced they used to charge 3 pence (which the locals used to call “tro”) to ride and it became known as tro-tro
Africans share almost similar perspectives of doing things..
wow similar events
same as kenya.. matatu means three cents.. they used to charge that when introduced
Interesting. Matatu derived it's name from the same. Though the driver said 3 shillings what he actually meant was 30 cents. Tatu means three in English, and also in Kikuyu with a slight variation in pronunciation. Ma in matatu basically is to emphasize the thing of "threes".
Kenya is amazingly green but I also like to let people know that almost 3/4 of Kenya is( ASAL) arid or semi arid.....there are stunning desert landscape, escarpments,valleys forest , mountains with snow peaks, stunning beaches,large farms etc welcome to Kenya
Looks better than a lot of American cities . Wow .
Blessed love !!!!!
My wife and I are currently in Nairobi, we’ve been here for 2 weeks and we absolutely love it. I highly recommend the Skynest as well as we are staying there also. It’s very convenient to malls, restaurants and nightclubs and it’s very secure. Nairobi is definitely on my list to return visit.

Yes, yes, Jasmine. Excellent job showing the people the sights & sounds of Kenya. Kenya is a world class country. I would love too make Nairobi my permanent home. God bless you my beautiful Ghanaian sister. Love from America. ❤
What does world class mean? Secondly, of course you would like to live in Kenya, why do you have to announce it. You will go where ever they have the tallest building. The only one you are doing a favour is yourself
@dimbwemazala8978 Yes, world class means that the infrastructure is up too standard. They have public facilities that are modern and updated in areas of technology, economic, medicine, transportation, etc. The government is stable and serves the needs of the people to the best of its knowledge. This gives Kenyan a triple AAA rating in my book as a world-class country.

It is more important that no one lives in Kibera, and that everyone has running water, functioning sewers, cheap and universally available electricity, abundant and affordable staple foods, educational and medical facilities, than the skyline of any part of the country looks like that of Chicago, Toronto or New York. We do not care about the world designation.

I first started hearing of Kenya from Ugandan, Tanzanian colleagues at University of Swaziland in the 1980's. Heard of Famous 680 Hotel. And Carnivore. Being academically inclined the excellent universities - Planning Studies.
Very, Very proud of what Kenyans have achieved- having been schooled in its Political Economy at undergrad in Swaziland and Botswana. Studied with Kenyans at University of Liverpool - good people. And in Syracuse, NY. I keep on changing flights at the Airport many many times, but have never gone into the City 😢😢😢! But certainly planning to Visit...
Carnivore still exists. Special place. Plan to visit one day.

How come no Kenyan has spoken to you in Swahili thinking you are a Kenyan lady? Impressive video.
Talking about seasons, Nairobi being located near the equator and at an elevation of 1600 m above sea level tends to have cooler temperatures at night hovering between 12 to 15 degrees centigrade while the maximum temperature hovers between 23 in the coolest month of June July August and around 28 degrees during December, January and February. So basically, the seasons are not distinct as you find it in the northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere. What is different is some months are drier than others. This time of the year is supposed to be cooler and drier that the rest of the year.
Thanks for this information that I needed to know
1750m above sea level.
Fun fact. You literally drove though a national park. This is unique to Nairobi. A while back a lion walked down the high way during morning rush hour.
Wow! So did the lion eventually end up back at the national park?? 😅
@@Sandra_Q Game Rangers were called. They managed to relocate it. This usually happens during the drought season. Let me see if I can find a clip...

Yes a lions sometimes walk early in the morning hrs
That is not normal and it is not ok. A lion is a dangerous wild animal. It could have attacked and hurt someone
I am kenya and am actually getting to feel like i dont appreciate the living here much, ill start viewing my country with your POV, thanks for the video
Same here ,,am always complaining and wanting to relocate ,,now seeing those in UK wanting to come and live here I get confused more
Glad you enjoyed your visit, karibu tena Kenya (Welcome again to Kenya). The reason why you'd think you are seeing lots of older cars is because Kenyan's mindset about money is a bit different from many other countries. First, the Kenyan culture teaches one to be modest. Secondly, Kenyans are very industrious, and they believe in accumulating wealth. Kenyans invest heavily in land and businesses. Every adult Kenyan either owns a business or is thinking of owning one, regardless of their employment status. Thirdly, majority of those people you see driving old cars are quite loaded. It's a very common thing in Kenya to see millionaires driving beaten cars. And BTW, at the point you are talking about cars, you are more than 5KM away from the city Centre...next time we'll show you the city center (and a visit to Kenya is never complete without a taste of Nairobi nightlife, anyone visiting should plan for that too😅)
well explained. Kenyans aspire to be millionaires by wealth accumulation and being frugal rather than showing off wealth for status such as buying expensive cars
Welcome to Kenya, Karibu Nairobi Kenya, Akwaba Nairobi Kenya. I tell you, your world view will be mesmerised by the beutity of Africa.
I CANT THANK THE DRIVER ENOUGH. A GREAT GUY GIVING AMAZING INFOR
Thank you for sharing your experience in Kenya. I can't wait to visit Africa.. it's truly the motherland of souls next to the Holyland. God bless Queen! 💜
Im very impressed by the drivers exellent communication skills and langauge.
We owe it to our good education system.❤
Thanks for visiting Kenya 🇰🇪 my home your welcome again. Am proud to be an African ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks for the video and welcome to Kenya! You didnt mention how green the city is. I am impressed by the efforts they have made in blending nature with their development. In Ghana, we cut tress anyhow. Accra is heavily denuded as Government and the people dont really care much about green spaces and that really disgusts me.
Exposure to other nations helps us appreciate the beauty or development of other African nations. Nairobi was a great city in the 1980s when I visited the city & the people were friendly just like my own people in Zambia. Thanks
Welcome to our country..Good people,warm welcome and best place and safest to be🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪 my Ghanian sister 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭 lots of love from us ❤

Thanks Richy, happy to hear x
Kenya is Africa's best treasured secret.
Am so greatful for showing Kenya to the world. A cool place to be and very friendly.
Kudos to the driver! He was very informative that I actually learned a few things as a Kenyan in Kenya. This was an awesome vlog ma'❤
He wasn't quite right. Matatus began in the late 60s and early 70s. The original fare on most routes was 30 cents (mapeni matatu). 30 cents was the 3 big brown coins with Jomo Kenyatta's head. Not sure if they still exist today coz I been away for too long. So the name MATATU is actually from the 30 cents not 3 shillings. Back then 3 shillings was a lot of money so a matatu fare could not be 3 shillings.
Fast forward to the 80s, they were nicknamed Ma-threes (Ma3s).
In the 90s they became "MATS". Cool MATS were identified as Manyangas and boring MATS were known as wangora. From early 2000s they began getting pimped with high tech.
I love traveling with you 🎊 🎉.
Kenya 🇰🇪 is definitely 👍🏾 on my bucket list.
U are most welcome
Hey Sis. Glad you made it to this side of the continent. Was not expecting that. There are transplants from all over the world like us here. Enjoy. There is so much to see in and beyond Westlands, the CBD, etc. Nairobi is big and there are many neighborhoods and different vibes. There are green quiet suburbs, bustling hotspots and everything in between. Grace & peace.
Its a surprise am a Kenyan but have never known where the name Matatu came from. Thanks for visiting my beloved country Kenya
I love Africa. It's always emotional for me to land anywhere in the continent. From Morocco 🇲🇦, to Egypt 🇪🇬, to Kenya 🇰🇪 ,to Uganda 🇺🇬, to Ghana 🇬🇭, Central Africa Republic 🇨🇫, to Cameroon 🇨🇲, to DRC🇨🇩 ,to Chad 🇹🇩 ...I always feel come at home. Aswan and Nairobi are very Pan Africanist, not in a militant way,but the love of Africa to me.
Let it be known that we as kenyans do truely remember and appreciate what the people of the Caribbean did for our kenyatta..on behalf of our freedom in kenya...
George padmore,Marcus garvey, Ras makonnen, cecil miller, paul robeson and remembering harry bellafonte...for the famous kenya airlift and also entertaining guests in nairobi on the dawn of our freedom with miriam makeba...
You will find many streets in nairobi named, Ralph bunche, Du bois, Marcus Garvey...in their memory...to name a few
Nairobi really puts Accra in the dust. The government of Ghana needs to do BETTER
Stfu, Kenya is DUST including you and your Kenyan Government needs to do BETTER!!!!
Ghana is notting but chop. Chop. And shudder construction with no accountability.
@@steveobeng4444 Mr. English plz construct your English well and come 🤭back cos I no get your point
@lukesky4690 i meant to say. In Ghana, especially road infrastructure, is conived with fraud. Incompetent Contractors, lack of supervision, shoddy work .over hyped expenditure with no guarantees. Do you get it ?
Proud Kenyan,God commands us to love one another.lets work on making Africa one.welcome to Kenya. ❤ cheers
Kudos to the driver...represented us well
i even miss home🇰🇪but stuck in accra🇬🇭different worlds,Ghana is more chilled while kenya is hype 24/7
Great vid. Kenya is so beautiful and has such vibrant cultures like the Masai, Kikuyu, Swahili, Luo, Luhya, Meru, etc. I hope to see you meet and Collab with Kenyan vloggers (a shame that Miss Trudy isn't in Kenya right now).
Kenya is going to experience your pretty smile.
P.S.
Don't expect a lot of spice in Kenyan cuisine.
Kenya is awesome,they are welcoming, lovely pure love and if you want to have a great time in africa kenya is a place to be.
