I recorded this video shortly after moving back to Kenya, explaining the story of how I ended up relocating from such a different country as Finland, to Nairobi. As an adventurous soul, I was looking for a different experience and more international career opportunities to use my education in a way that felt meaningul to me. I also enjoyed the vibe of Nairobi on my location scouting trip, and later found love in Kenya.

On this channel I want to spread nothing but love and understanding. 🌞 Hate speech towards other ethnicities, nationalities or tribes will not be tolerated. 🛑
If you have questions, you can ask. If you have problems, you can look for education and help - that’s what I have done when I’ve felt resentment towards someone or something.
One topic that I do not see being of relevance on this channel is colonialism - I am sure there are other creators discussing this topic. I have nothing to say about this as Finland never held any overseas colonies, in fact my ancestors’ lands have been taken over by another country and Independence Day is one of our most important holidays. When it comes to Finnish influence in Africa, a Finnish president had their impact on Namibia gaining independence.
Once this channel grows, I will be dedicating some of the growth to initiatives within the communities here in Kenya. Peace 🇰🇪 ✌🏻
If you are interested in relocating to Kenya, consider watching my video on the topic: th-cam.com/video/yJ9gi9rol3o/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1P-bFpAymyWhl6QD
Dnt mind him.. you are welcomed and feel at home. We pass that line of hatered and we learn to forgive and live in harmony.
Thanks we love expecting more from u dear
New fan here. I will be watching all your videos

Africa is the future. I’m Moroccan and know of 3 English people who have recently moved to Morocco. One of them started his own bed and breakfast business in the north of Morocco 🇲🇦 My brother is working for him. Africa is my home. Long live Africa. Africa has a bright future.
@@M45N thousands of French citizens migrated to London in the 1990’s and 2000’ before Brexit. People seek a better life for themselves. Normal.
@@M45N the story is that people regardless of nationality move to other countries to live and work. This is great. Only racists suffer and hate this phenomenon.
@@M45N every country can be a racist nation. But some of these don’t pretend to be démocraties…
Welcome back - I am also an expat living in Nairobi, I have been living and working here for the past 5 years. Subscribed

Nice to see you back.
Nice to see you back again.
With initial adjustments in a new place,soon you'll be a Kenyan girl through and through.
Kenya has this optimistic vibe around it that once it clings on anyone, it's hard to shake off!....and despite its challenges like anywhere else, the accrued advantages and potentials are the glue that binds us all to our interests and mutual desire to call Kenya home.
Karibu nyumbani 🤝
Karibu Kenya, Just bumped into your channel for the first time, Wishing you the very best as you settle in. You have our support
Welcome back. It will be interesting to see how you make out on your second visit to Kenya. Good luck!
You probably have your cards right this time from your talking points and for sure there will be much to learn from your experience. Welcome back Aino and enjoy your stay.
Welcome back to Kenya Aino. I'm sorry about your first time & some of the challenges you had but it's refreshing to see a foreigner moving here & immersing themselves in the local lifestyle. I hope it works out well for you & I trust that it will as you seem to have the right mindset & approach. I particularly like how you pronounce "Nairobi" as well as the other Swahili words you threw in there. Seems like you're taking up the language quite well.
Welcome back Aino.
I bumped into your channel, and your story is interesting. Continue spreading the love 👍

Hi,Aino!
Hyvää Iltaa! And a very warm welcome to Kenya! Personally, I have very fond memories of Finland, and I hope you'll feel most welcome here in Kenya as well.
Iltaa! :) Glad to hear we can make good memories in each other’s countries
@@ainoluo
Many thanks! Travelling around Kenya, if and when you've the opportunity, would be great. I've done the same in Finland and it has left me with indelible memories. I love the Finnish people, the lakes and the forests. Great place.
I was travelling whenever I could to places like Oulu, Mikkeli, Savonlinna, Tampere, Joensuu, Nurmes, and even out West to Vaasa,among others. Whenever I visited, mostly in the summer, I was mainly based in Helsinki and its environs (Espoo, to be specific).
May you have a great time! Karibu sana!
@@ajwango478 Personally am in Espoo. A nice place to be.
@@reubentv2948
I love the place too, but it has been rather long since I was there last. Looking forward to visit later this summer.
I think I have to react to this coz it got good lessons for those planning to relocate to kenya
So impactful, Inspiring, your very being leaves an indelible imprint on the tapestry of existence. Listening to you, I am reminded of the limitless possibilities that lie within the human spirit. It is often said that the true essence lies not in reaching the destination, but in embracing the transformative journey itself. In your presence, this sentiment blossoms into a vibrant reality.
Wow, thank you! Your comment acted as a powerful reminder for myself 🌺
Welcome back. It's gonna be cold for a while though.
Karibu mtaaaani sister 😊

Hi You Chose the Right Place Welcome to Kenya feel at home.
Enjoy Kenya, I will be visiting soon.
Welcome to Kenya and God bless you
Hope it works out for you. Born and raised in Kenya, based in Mombasa, after 34 years I was done with that place.
Welcome back Luo. I had subscribed during your last visit here and for a while - you got muted . Now I know its because you had travelled back home. In this video, I must say you that though u are young, you are quite mature and wise from the way you talk. I wish you a happy stay in Kenya and pray that you will get engaged profitably and enjoy a happy social life.
Thanks Alex, welcome back to follow! 😊
Thank you Luo. Your accent is very Swedish. I work most of my life for Swedish programs and also visited Sweden and Norway.
@@ainoluo hello dear karibu sana to kenya though am a Tanzanian.i would welcome you to Tanzania

If you plan your finances well, I'm sure you will enjoy Nairobi.
Karibu Kenya, Atieno Nyar Luo 🤗
Such a beautiful smile and reflection of your soul.
Ciao 🖐 nice introducing I like to follow you because perfect introducing thoughts
Asante sana! I have just left Nairobi. I had to leave earlier than expected but I intend to come back at some point so your video gave me some hope 😊 I had also started dancing and even joined a women circle for a full moon event earlier this year. I had picked a card saying “believe in the impossible” Anyways I could relate to many things you shared. Take care 💕
Hope you’ll make your comeback soon 🌞 And yes, keep believing girl!
Wow, beautiful narration, you sound like a Kenyan already!
Welcome to a beautiful country. Seems you love the Kenyan styles and the way people live .locating to a certain country and start off is a huge decision to make but you conquered you a great lady .stay focused.
Wow!!! Welcome
Great to hear your perspective. My husband is from Kenya and we are relocating from the USA to Kenya. I also just converted my faceless to Vlog style , will mostly be travel and such! I hope to show people the lovely country!
Thanks for watching! 😊 I’m working on a video that sums up a lot of my content and experience so far of things to take into account when relocating here. But I’m sure your husband’s got an idea 😁 Good luck with the move and your channel!
@@ainoluo sounds like a great idea. I’m definitely looking forward to the video. Thank you very much.
You gained a new subscriber
Hey Aino hope your well remember you from Diani...Great your back in Kenya, I will probably be in Kenya again sometime soon. For now promoting my book in the US. All the best!!

Welcome to kenya 🇰🇪
Really Africa have magic to keep people. V nice I'm also in this way
love this😍
You're so lovely 🎉....watching from eldy
My beautiful sister welcome to Africa. Nairobi is a nice place, try and visit Nigeria one day. Much love ❤❤
Nigeria there so many mafias and majority of Nigerians are greedy so i can't recommend this stunning kind lady to visit Nigeria
Beautiful story 🇰🇪💯
Hei Aino. Tervetuloa Keniaan. Very sorry to hear about some of the bad experiences in Kenya. The initial adjustment is rough, very rough indeed; i think this tends to be the same for new experiences globally, esp where one immerses in a completely new culture; the culture shock is real! But it should be great once you get through the initial rough patch, it will be well. As a foreign based person, you will tend to do much better and enjoy life in Nairobi so much more by far, on average, than the average Kenyan citizen.
Kiitos Joel, kind words! 😊
@@ainoluo wageni wakaribishe - sana tarkoittaa: (vieraat) olet(te) kohteliaaimmin tervetullut. En avaudu kommenttiin ittestäni, sen enempiä, kuin vaan sitä, että ymmärrän ja puhun suahilin kieltä "intermediate level". Sekä, että meitä on, matkalaukkulapsina Itä-Afrik:n koulut käyneitä, jotka elelee Suomen kamaralla ja ja ties missä (jokin meistä voi löytyä sieltä, mis oot). Olet rohkea kun tuot vloggamalla asiaasi esille! Asanteni (sana tarkoittaa: kohteliain kiitos - mutta huomaathan, edes sitten kulttuuri shokin jälkeen, sikäläisestä kultuurista sitä, että Tansaniassa nämä kohteliaat suahilin keiliset ilmaisut ovat tarpeen. Kun taas Keniassa, muistelen, näitä kohteliaimpia ilmaisun sanoja on lähinnä laulujen sanoissa (eikä niitä niinkään esiinny, ainakaan urbaanin kaupungin ja sen laitamien puhekielessä). Eli niillä ei saavuta ihmisen kohtaamisessa juurikaan samoja vuorovaikutuksia kuin mitä Tansaniassa voi kokea ❤ Siispä, maassa maan tavalla! Käsität varmaan, että Keniassa voit käyttää sanaa "Please" aivan kuten engl. kiel. maissa, yleensäkin.
U talking just like Kenyans.. soothing..calm..no shouting ❤😊
Don’t make me angry and I won’t shout 😇
I just discovered your channel and i like how honest and gentle you analyze your experiences in Kenya. I am a TH-camr and preparing to visit Kenya soon and will like to hangout with you when i visit Nairobi. Love your contents from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Do not come kenya if you are nigerians😅
Welcome home😍
You just in the best country, much Love.
Aino, thank you, Asante sana, tak, tak, tak for sharing your amazing story and adventures in China, Finland and in Nairobi Kenya. I'm planning to visit Kenya in December to visit my mother who is about 90 years and to volunteer within the community at Bomet County and Nairobi County. I migrated from Kenya 24 years ago and currently live in Halifax City, Nova Scotia, Canada. I'm thinking of doing more partnership in Kenya investing in social enterprises, education of young children from very poor families, rehabilitation of street children, creating new good jobs for youth, empowering women/families in various parts of Kenya (plus in other countries of Africa and worldwide). Aino Luo, your beautiful story feels very encouraging Aino Luo. Keep on sharing your wonderful presence, pictures and so unique attractive style of inspiring videos. All the best to you Aino now and always. Blessings to you and your family. My name is Simba Kiprotich Arap Ruto (If you care to and feel
like you can connect on TH-cam and/or on my Facebook page, both with the same name). Once again, thank you, asante sana, tak, Aino Luo.
I love the initiatives you have in mind, the world needs people like you 😊 I am also hoping to contribute to the communities here through the growth of my channel, plotting on projects I could do in the future!
How did you make to go to Canada. I'm interested
Karibu nyumbani to your home away from home, I hope your experiences get better and better in this fair nation of ours....maybe next time you can try smokie kachumbari..it's a timeless meal that every college or university student has survived on at some point
welcome back..you can buy a unit for long term..Rent is the only problem in Nairobi
You are beautiful, welcome to Kenya
Nice vlog presentation, Welcome to Kenya and enjoy your stay. By the way guys i don’t remember Finland colonizing any country.
Finland never held any overseas colonies. The previous president of Finland, Martti Ahtisaari (who was born in a city we lost to Russia) received a Nobel peace prize for his peace work contributing to Namibia gaining independence.
Finland itself was ruled first by Sweden and then by Russia until we gained independence in 1917. I do not have access to my ancestor’s homeland because it is in the areas we lost in the Second World War to Russia.
That’s a few facts and I leave it for you guys to judge the situation. Not that what Finland has been involved in has much to do with me as an individual anyway.
@@ainoluo Don’t worry i quite well understand the real colonizers, I don’t remember any Nordic countries holding a colony in Africa. It was not even taught to us during history classes, The people bringing this up don’t know world history in relation to colonialism nor their geography.
