NAMIBIA VILLAGE VISIT PT. 2! | 2023 TRIP | AMERICAN EXPAT

[@ekiamediambedeka5188]

Ones you start living on the land and get used to it it becomes an addiction. Imagine having fruit tress, goats, cows and growing your own crops. That's paradise right there.

[@zakaroyalty62]

Holy moly, I shudder to imagine what your hubby & in-laws are weeding in the almost dry, somewhat infertile fields with scarcely any wilting crops…that’s backbreaking work for very little proceeds from the infertile land…😳!??

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Beautiful family God bless you all .

[@selamawitdyer]

I just cant get over how tall Lance has gotten! Lovely video as usual Kaylan and it's nice to see the children experiencing village life. They will cherish these memories!

[@bobyrasta100]

Exactly, i noticed the kids speak English like their mom. The power of a woman in a Family is mind blowing.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Yes he’s almost as tall as me! 🤯 I can now fit his shoes! Thanks so much for the wonderful comment 💓

[@NOA14517]

Wow I am so Impressed..you have adapted to the culture so well!

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Trying to do my best!! Appreciate it! 🖤

[@adrianlunga4646]

I remember the video about your first trip up north. It was beautiful and made me appreciate rural African life. I am planning on leaving London eventually and living in a remote off-grid home.

[@martinitamaloii96]

come to Namibia.

[@blessedchild5939]

I love the village life most of the time.when city life gets too much, I would go to the north as well.walk barefoot and just enjoy the peacefulness

[@MrRomario07]

So, I just stumbled upon one of your videos and, let me say this , you are doing so well, your family is solid. I am from Zimbabwe, not too far from Namibia, but I have been living in Atlanta GA since 2000. My wife is from Miami and we have 3 kids, 14,11and 9. We visit Zimbabwe every so often, every 2 to 3 years. My village is so similar to your husband's and Everytime we go there, my family always have a blast. Keep doing what you are doing, it's the best you can do for the kids.

[@laurenmanson5474]

I used to watch her some years ago. I am glad to see her back. It was a treat to watch her again. Her son is so big now and glad to see she has a daughter. Looking forward to more videos.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

[@jimmorel3740]

[@magangregory1386]

Wow I am late I used to watch your journey for a long time I didn't know you had a daughter ! Well anyway it's good to see your videos again

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thanks so much for watching!! 💗💗💗 Yes, I gave birth to my daughter in January 2021 here in Namibia! But I posted an official video about it a few months ago 😊You can check it out here if you'd like! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2OveKywqq-sqNU

[@PrinceAndSarahO]

The meaning of love,humbleness,patience and being courageous reflects here. Thanks for your inspiration

[@mariashilongo2863]

Love your videos, perspective, positivity and enthusiasm. Keep it up

[@NoaPenda]

As humans, i think our soul thrive in natural. Hence i said in the last video that i go to the north to recharge. Just that walk in the bush. Walk barefoot on sand. Interracting with the people who permanently lives in the village. It's an amazing feeling

[@AbiaSaloise]

thoroughly enjoying your vlog, thank you for sharing..

[@williamwebbs1952]

Another great vlog today 👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿

[@PrintsInTheSoil]

You’re spoiling us with these back to back vlogs! I remember when you first visited the village with your then fiancé. Now look at you!!! 🙂

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Working hard over here with the editing! 😅 thank you for continuing to watch my channel!! 💜

[@lindaj7167]

I know Namibia is a very serene and beautiful place its good for the soul

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Yes! 🙌🏾

[@mbusoguma5504]

It looks very special indeed. More so especially with your presence, Sis. Great show❤

[@TyroneBlackman7]

Lance is ready to drive. 😊. Thanks for the update.

[@TheeMcMas]

Thank You for updating this post Sister

[@houseofawarrior3918]

Another great video, keep them coming ❤

[@bibivanderveen5455]

Beautiful place just look at that sky. Types of banana trees, avocado and orange trees will do well

[@mel-b7193]

I could relate to Lance.I’m fully Namibian but wasn’t raised in the village..growing up ..when we would visit for holidays I would cry my eyes out every time they would slaughter a goat,cow or chicken..but would enjoy the food when it’s time to eat..and my family would make fun of me.Its a cultural practice in almost all African cultures…lance would understand it all when he’s grown.Him feeling that way also means he’s an empath.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thank you so much for this reflection!! I really appreciate your perspective on this as a Namibian!💓 It can be difficult for some kids to handle especially when they didn’t grow up around it and he is very empathic as well!

[@hafenikalwenya223]

Thank you for this video, loved it!!!

[@lnut94]

7:02 hmmn, the car's number plate is from Otjiwarongo, nice...

[@j-man7994]

Love y'all ❤.

[@chigasaki06]

God willing, I'll be visiting Namibia and SA in the near future. I can't wait.

[@theshoemakinglady]

So serene to me just looking at the video!

[@lnut94]

Love watching your video, I'm a Herero from Khorixas in the central western part of Namibia.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hiiii 👋🏾 thank you for watching!

[@taneshiabillops103]

I watched so many of your old videos and remember the things that used to annoy you about the United States, the jobs, the people, the way of life. Its good to see that Namibia makes you happy.

[@irouk1003]

I like Namibia. I think I will relocate to Namibia

[@joakimlucas4232]

The land of the brave at north part, we grow up do all ...... Now you make me to miss my childhood

[@real8551]

My all time favourite African ex-pat. I just love your videos and get super excited whenever you post. Funny how Lance has your accent . Does he speak the local dialect?

[@solmundkalenga6450]

I enjoy your contents a lot..

[@jazzymshambe7149]

[@philanimahla8094]

Long time my.sister i hope you are ort with your family thank you four show as nice video please kip on showing as namibia thank you

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Thank you!! We are well! 💜

[@AbiaSaloise]

My oldest is 8 years old (Namibia, we live in Windhoek), my boys would also go on about the slaughtering, but sometimes you can't stop them from witnessing the slaughtering.. you can just help by listening them vent, and try to answer their questions as often as they bring it up.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Great reflection and I totally agree! Talk them through it and listen 💓 Thank you so much for sharing your perspective!!! I appreciate it 🇳🇦

[@blackbeautyalways6481]

Hello, Yes it is beautiful. You are right, start planting fruits tress now. Asking the Creator to send the rain. Love and Peace to you and Family.

[@regmonmusic]

Cheers! 👍🏽

[@TheeMcMas]

I loved the fact I saw the books on the seat where Lance was sitting so that your daughter could be read to while on this trip at the house, I am sure that this is a cue from your academic background and teaching, are children's books something that the villages are in need of out there to stimulate and engage their minds, excuse me if this seems an ignorant question but I have sent cases of used books from the library and goodwill where to some other countries in the past.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Love how you noticed this!! 💜💜💜Yes literacy is a major passion of mine actually! So I always have books with us! I teach children how to read/tutor readers having difficulties here as well! Trying to help bridge the literacy divide! And I’m also obsessed with reading myself 🤓📚 My Kindle is my bff here 😩😂 I have also spent a ridiculous amount of money ordering books here off Amazon for my kids but they’ve come in handy for my reading lessons too!! Looking for more affordable ways to build a bigger kids book library collection here 🤞🏾🙌🏾 Yes, there is a pretty small public library in the town near that village and sometimes at schools but there is definitely a need for more books. Even in my town it’s pretty limited so even more so in a rural setting! Great questions!

[@michaelfredericks-c9b]

hello fam a bajan here to lend support.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Hiiiiiii and thank you!! 🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧

[@marthacmd]

Always an education

[@miabenedictus]

Yes please plant fruit trees now

[@MrsHopeTalk]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@onibioh]

One can tell you are not used to cooking on an open fire by your distance when stirring the pot. 😅

[@mendesoto]

What was the temperature on that day if you had to guess please? Thank you

[@seciliagabriel7879]

The land is definitely a flat flood plain. You need to consider a suitable place that is a lil elevated on the plot. Otherwise, your house will be flooded in rainy seasons.

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Great observation and thank you! 🌧️ According to my husband there’s one area of the land that’s a bit sloped and that’s where the house will go!🤞🏾

[@soundmindstableheart8863]

Where have you been chika, Ive been wondering.

[@thehardertheyfall3764]

I’m glad u are still alive I thought u died coz u were so quiet for so long

[@antebellumblackamerican7408]

first!

[@Naamy19X9]

I grew up in the rural areas and even I used to walk away when anything bigger than a chicken was killed. Its not a pretty sight.

[@penneysalvo2885]

Do your kids have an American or African accent?

[@lettymuyandulwa7637]

First comment 😅

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

hiiiii 💃

[@MrsPrincessAndreas1648]

Hey family I'm glad to see you😊😊. I love village life is best. More relaxed though than in town. I and my fiance are also to start such a beautiful life 😂😂😂. I enjoy village moooore💃💃💃. Sorry for your son to go through watching his dad slaughtering a got I can not even watch my son killing a chicken 😂😂😂😂 I will have nightmares 😭😭.

[@idy386]

Its just like me, i used to watch my dad slaughter goats, i was like 10 years old

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

Yes! Thank you for watching!

[@oskarmusilika6316]

Interesting. Your mother in law was my kindergarten teacher around 1995/1996..🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤔😁

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

That’s AMAZING! I have heard stories about her teaching kindergarten! ✨

[@thapelomakgoba5096]

Shew!?,are growing super fast

[@thapelomakgoba5096]

Those Kids

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

They really are!!! 🥹

[@javajive01]

He will remember the poor animal for the rest of his life. 😢

[@lindabrown0]

Global warming will hit these places hard. They are already dry, desert-like so I wonder how livable places like Namibia will be in the future? Something not so comfortable to think about............

[@AfroAmericaninAfrica]

There are already more frequent drought seasons of recent years here affecting the local crop growth :(
