Building a beautiful life in the countryside. All you need to know

#lifeinthecountryside #villagelife
Today,I take you through transitioning from the fast life to slow life in the countryside/ village. I really hope this video helps many of you who dream of relocating to the countryside.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask in the comments section, I'll be glad to answer.
Wishing you all a blessed weekend.

Your land is so beautiful and peaceful 😌 Your quote, “why are people in a such a rush to die? Why not die slowly?” Powerful and profound.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you. 😊

[@HealthtiTV]

Almost every time I watch you videos/vlogs I have so much different emotions. I am so desperate to move to a village and just enjoy life and nature. Thank you so much for sharing you journey and life.🙏🏾🥰🐓👒🪿🐝🐂🌲💐🪴

[@jaelofthevillage]

You're welcome, darling. I wish you the very best in your plans.

I am 26yrs, with 2 babies living in Kampala Uganda 🇺🇬 but doing everything we can to possibly to leave and have a home in the deep outskirts of the city and live this kind of life by the time I am 30yrs . When was younger always loved being in town and now that I am in I realize I was just being delusional and want that life back, where u have plants , grow own food have animals around you is the best life ❤ Thanks for inspiring us Jael ❤

[@jaelofthevillage]

True. It is the best life ever

[@user-pn1dp2ee9x]

Indeed ilove the way you stay,nature in rural life.Everyting is natural, beautiful houses, flowers,fruits, chickens and water.OMG, wonderful life

[@jaelofthevillage]

Thank you so much. It is sure a peaceful, beautiful life.

[@nancymamawabanya2340]

That flower vase of yours made me tear up. Back in my primary school days we dress our class teacher's desk like that. Jael dear, please know that your videos inspired me and with God's grace I have acquired a big parcel of land in the outskirts of the capital Freetown, Sierra Leone. Minus the cows, I really plan on copying your homestead. I want to grow my own food and keep some livestock on the side. Thank you for being a blessing to us.

[@jaelofthevillage]

That's an awesome plan. I wish you the very best.

[@user-ts6wr1un8g]

That beautiful compound, ah, I tell you! Whenever you post a video, I hope you give us a shot of your compound. Sunshine. plants and flowers, trees and shade, cows grazing or chewing cud, chickens scratching around, ... I could go on. Jael, you are blessed!

Oh,darling. Thank you so much.

Sister, I am following and watching your insightful videos and what i can say is that the fear of settling in the village is long gone. I have been planning my retirement since 2019, and by watching your video, I am ready to go. I love village life.

[@jaelofthevillage]

Wow! I'm glad I took that fear away from you. I wish you the very best.

You cracked my ribs with that phrase "....life beating me...." which is typical African-speak. Great video and advice.

My parents lived in the village most of their lives and the food was healthy. My mother is 99 years old, she does not have high blood pressure, nor diabetes. It's a blessing. The first twenty years of my life I was also in the town, now I live in a city of almost two million people, in Barranquilla Colombia.

[@mercyk2672]

Wow 👏 99 years old and no blood pressure ❤. She's found the secret to a happy, healthy life. High blood pressure and the resulting complications have killed half my extended family and some in my family. I have High blood pressure too and I attribute it to my job and everyday stresses. I long to go back to my country Kenya to live a slower life 😢

[@jaelofthevillage]

This is amazing, Carlos. People don't get to 99 these days,I guess it is because of our lifestyle. @mercyk2672, you need to slow down, girl. Don't kill yourself trying to live.

[@donnab3183]

What a beautiful home environment. The soup & roti looks delicious. The floral arrangement nice. Yes, slow, simple, quiet living, is a blessing. Thank you for sharing! 😍

[@dorothyymiruka3615]

I'm inspired by you Jael, I think I should start making a plan to come back to the village. Thanks ❤

Village life is peaceful once u get used to it. There is just so much magical moments,this video will uplift and give insights to so many. My mom once relocated to the village for five years and that was enough time for her to put her life back together.

True. You just need a few weeks to figure it out.

What a beautiful video, Jael. I love village life and would love to live in the village when my husband and I relocate to South Africa in the next couple years. Your expression about being in such a rush to die really resonated with me. That is truly a powerful statement. I may have to reference it (with proper credit to you, of course 😊) on my channel. Thank you for another great video. 💛

Jael! What a treat to watch your video! Everything about it is just wonderful! The scenery is refreshing and inviting. Your voice matches the pace of life you live: unhurried and soothing. But best of all, your camera work is exquisite! The quality of your camera is quite high and your videography is a delight to watch! So many vloggers leave one slightly seasick by the end of their videos! Last but not least, you have lovingly portrayed the star of your video which is your beautiful compound that nurtures your beautiful life! A lot of vloggers put all of the focus on themselves and not the main subject of their vlog! Your work is so inspirational! I too am looking forward to my return to Kenya and my forever house in the rural area around Nakuru! I may even bring myself to share my little bit of paradise with viewers far and wide! Keep up the good work Jael!
