@Jennifer Jones, Karibu sana😍 means much welcome in kiswahili the Tanzanian language.

[@dorcielngonda4537]

Africa is for everybody!! Don't believe everything you read, hear or see in the media about Africa. If the Caucasians can't leave the continent of Africa alone for well over 500 years, it must be a reason.....

[@Loverofnothing00]

Damn it's real out there in that village. You really have to learn to take care of your self. I plan on moving to ether Ghana or Tanzania . I don't think I am ready for the villages yet, I think I will stay in the city.

[@travelingsista]

+Loverofnothing00 yes it is a TREMENDOUS adjustment. I just dove in head first. I knew I wanted a more laid back lifestyle though. Very abruptly.

[@willba2817]

The American système éducation is didnt make for the black People, your Sister and brother should do the same thing, go home in africa. Im so happy for you the life is more relax in africa no stress, not violence, etc.. even if sometimes its not easy. Im happy, your ancestor are happy too, they Will protect you in your life on your Mother Land kiss Sister from(ivory coast).

Will ba No violence?

[@snatchedwaistcuteface5415]

I agree I love my African sisters snd brothers whom are good like you❤

[@nolanchrome6366]

+Shonny Gogetter What's your issue? Ain't there violence in America and other western countries? No one claim it's utopia in Tanzania or Africa but it's peaceful and better being a Black person. Unlike in the west where Black people have to deal with racism from the moment they wake up till bed time. Peace!

[@snatchedwaistcuteface5415]

Nolan Chrome Umm why you tag me this? I am agreeing with that assesment

[@willba2817]

@@mrsbarneyfife4687 the United States are savage culture, everyone put the gun, because you buying gun like you buying candy. Gun shot everyday in each street corner, Gangs culture etc.. even your governement is criminel, the U.S politic its Make War and kill another people out from US.

Congratulations, I can hear the peace and happiness in your voice...thanks for sharing!

[@lushlip2lip]

What a wonderful, uncomplicated life you have! The environment out there is so beautiful! And I could only imagine how delicious and flavorful those fruit and vegetables are. Your home is lovely and shout out to the air quality because here in GA, ours smells so bad we can’t hang out clothes out to dry 😞. I hope you’re enjoying your time there 😄

[@solomonalvarez6064]

Yes i know right in GA after it rains the air is horrible. The air quality outside the U.S is alot better. I notice i only need my inhaler here.

Let's see the pictures of dar es salaam.

[@briana14333]

I love the simplicity. This is beautiful. We have strayed too far from this simple, true way of life in the states.

[@alh1939]

I agree. I wish I could find a lady who could be willing to live this type of life. I was born in an African village but now live in Europe. I would like to go back to that sort of life to be honest. Most ladies prefer living in cities though; it is hard to find one who would like this type of life; Yet it is the most fulfilling life you can ever have.

[@MrSmbase]

Why did I watch thiiiiiiiisss!!! It’s making me homesick, you’re a star girl! Thanx for sharing lovely life!!!

[@mizfrenchtwist]

thank you , thank you for sharing..........the place looks so beautiful and peaceful . i'm very happy for you.........

Reminds me of me growing up in Kenya... i live in the US currently but I miss my old life so bad. Try and buy some stainless steel pots though...aluminum is more common and cheap but not good for your health long term. I wanna visit TZ soon..can I visit you?

[@Ifeanyiijeh]

What a beautiful soul you are. Leaving your comfort zone into a whole new sphere of uncertainty takes bravery and a true quest to find oneself. I admire your love for my people. Stay blessed.

[@travelingsista]

+Jay D thank you much. And yes I really do admire Tanzania people and African people as a whole. Soooo much to learn from the beautiful people of TZ.

[@jadoncarter3949]

Simplicity and peace of mind. Very happy for you sista. You went and found your sanity, away from these crazy united states we live in. Love your jazzy style. It takes a strong person to make something out of not much, and still love it. I bow.

[@KemuntoBear]

[@dorcielngonda4537]

Hi, my advice is that don't listen to the media, go visit a country before judging it. Go see, sample life there. There are many of my friends going back to Kenya from the UK...they can't be wrong, just network with good people who will add and multiply in your life.

[@kjersey6781]

I absolutely love your house what makes it so beautiful and amazing is the fact that you are actually truly living in the Motherland Africa my sista wow,when I saw that view of the mountain I was blown away you are soooo lucky and I'm so happy for you.Thank you for sharing this experience with me I feel like I'm there also thanks to you.

[@Okwash1]

I'm Kenyan who moved out to Europe over 20 years ago in quest of good life and education. I have achieved and now planning to move back to my village, built a house already, my plan is to farm and will start with rearing chicken. Stories of African Americans moving to Africa only encourages more of us to move back home...God bless Africa and all Africans wherever they are in the world

[@dorcielngonda4537]

Go for it, don't let people tell you your decision to move back is wrong. Many musungu live in Africa for years and don't need to come back to Europe....

hi l love your space,but l just wanted to comment that we do have drainage systems in the kitchens in Africa you chose to save money, most kitchens in Tanzania have drainage system but you get what you pay for just like everywhere else.

[@travelingsista]

+genoveva murorunkweri yep exactly. I chose this because it was a very good price and I liked the location. Most homes that I've been in have a full drainage system and an updated kitchen and appliances.

[@lionintu]

Hello, are you referring specifically to Tanzanian community? May I ask what kind of drainage systems are used? WHat are the standards? Are they regulated?
