What American Life Is Really Like In Kenya

[@MsDavali]

I’m a Kenyan American and lived in Atlanta for 30 years. The best decision I made was relocating back to Kenya. I love the USA where I spent the majority of my life but I would never give up Kenya for anywhere. I welcome my African American brothers and sisters back to their original homeland. This is your home❤

A lot of your friends seem to want to invest in Kenya, set up businesses, buy land etc. Maybe one more service you should offer 5o your clients is that Business concierge service. They need to avoid scams or investing in unprofitable business lines. Speaking as a Kenyan, I want black americans to thrive in Kenya and other African countries.

This just in: Oct 18, 2024 A British national has told the BBC that he and several Turkish citizens were abducted in the Kenyan capital Nairobi by masked men on Friday, with four of the Turkish citizens still missing. Necdet Seyitoğlu, who lived in the UK for 18 years before moving to Kenya two years ago, said he was released after eight hours when he showed his alleged abductors a copy of his British passport.

Love this lucid explanation, James and co. Travelling is not a holiday, it’s a lifestyle and that’s how we can keep the budget supportive of our long-term intentions. Simplify and deprogram from the ’doing and buying things’ mindset all the time. Life is being 🔱🦁 🙏💚🌍🧚

[@Njewane01]

This is the realest video you have done Auston. It so true you cant live like a local in Kenya. Take it from me as a local and still some stuff bugs me like living in areas that don't have running water or consistent water like without a borehole, electricity cuts when without a generator though generally power is consistent, yes the weather changing like chilly cold days during our summer days, lack of good brand name grocery stores versus shopping at the smaller shops that inflate their prices. Listen to Auston - he is actually now a Kenyan. Soldier on Simba! One thing that needs to be discussed though is the higher levels of education/ literacy as Kenya has a competitive educational system especially at the high school and university level. Many Kenyans are highly educated. You pay for quality education for kids. Auston great content.

[@AustonHolleman]

Thank you! I’m taking note

[@p.be.s]

Excellent video, Auston. Keep bringing more people onto your channel. These first hand experience videos add a lot of value to your channel.

[@Colourbash]

Weather is, it gets cold every evening/night no matter what time of the year. Then cold months are June July and then August gers warmer. Warm months are December January February March. April and a bit of May lots of rain. November rains but less, short rains (meaning it rains a lot but in short spurts)... so it's not tricky (or as sporadic as you think) you just have to understand the weather same way you do seasons...

They beg a lot always need 60 dollars, the average chick make 150 a month, chick in I.T. make minimum 300, a shop owner 700 and up. Best you always understand what most make cause they need! Know most only make 10 dollars a day in the city, 1 dollar a day in village. I was in the navy so understand strategy and regions to get women. Something wrong with him he would be classified as a lame as Salior. So really don’t give more than 10 dollars to a regular chick. He like to use I been here and there but if you don’t live in a country more than two years it’s all B.S. oh Average bride brides is 3500 but really should be 1500 if she fing. Single mother they gets nothing. I really would like to negotiate a bride price probably try to kill me 🤣😂 majority of Kenyan dudes have told me they not to be trusted but over all still better than American women but that begging just tell them know they take it well and stick around sometimes you have to go urban on they as to get them back in line especially if they from that big tribe with the K.
