- Peace!
I've been on a bit of a hiatus. Working on me ya' know? I'm finally back and I'm celebrating the 5 year anniversary of my transition to Tanzania. Woop woop! This video is about the biggest lessons I've learned thus far. I appreciate every one of you who have been with me on this journey from day one, and gratitude to everyone who has supported me on this journey. I wouldn't be where I am without y'all. I look forward to providing y'all with new content this coming year.

Wow, *powerful gems* given there sis- thank you! And many congrats on your 5 year journey so far!!!! Beautiful to watch you grow. Sending positive vibrations of success and power into your new adventures. You're a great leader and inspiration 🙏🏾💗💫
Giving thanks! I truly appreciate it fam. This journey has been sooooo transformative on many levels. I’m grateful for my growth and I know I have so much more to accomplish. And I thank ALL OF Y’ALL who have been on this journey with me. The amount of love and support y’all give me is insane. 😫🥲 forever grateful.
@@travelingsista I'm your big fan. You're very inspirational. Keep it up!!
@@travelingsista There are no L's in life, only lessons.
@@travelingsista I'm trying to learn swahili.
Hi, Travelling Sista. You are touching Tanzanians souls in whatever you are doing in Tanzania since you came from The US.
We love you, we respect you and we admire your nice behavier and the way you like our Country and our people. Thank you very much. We wish uou could vist evrry one's resdance and have a talk to various families. In short you are too nice to stay in our God gifted Nation of Tanzania. You are most welcome.
Wow kaka Asante sana kwa maneno mazuri! (I hope I said that correctly lol) I truly do live Tanzania. Thank you for opening your doors and hearts. I call this my home 🌍
Girl, this is crazy. I remember that first video of you sitting just like that in the yard listing the things you didn't like about Tanzania. It's been amazing watching your journey and growth. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I wish you and your family continued blessings and happiness!
Tell me about it! Thank you so much for your continued support 🙏🏾
Thank you for taking time for yourself. I am now 74 years old and I am now learning to taking time for myself in a positive manner. I have been so self absorbing in a negative manner and learning to let go hasn't been easy. It is better but I am still struggling not to give up or fall back into my old way of life 👑👑👑
I screamed at the "dramatic pause" 🤣🤣 but I feel you 1000%. I'm married to a Ugandan and was there in Feb 2021 but I'm back in the states for now. The plan is to eventually move back to Uganda 🇺🇬 but I definitely want to visit Tanzania 🇹🇿 You look great and thank you for being so open 💖
So ur my sis inlaw
Am Ug. Married to TZ. Please visit. Beautiful. Unique cultures
I'm so proud of you as a fellow resident. You and Fred have been an inspiration of mine for a couple of years now. I am still looking forward to meeting both of you when time permits. Two things you said resonate with me. Big time. The law of attraction. Some Black Americans in particular do NOT need to go to another land in terms of that alone. If you have a low vibrational spirit Africa won't fix that. It will likely magnify it. The second thing, Black diasporans are more interested in our journey when we are not TRYING to get them to be. They tend to make that mental, spiritual leap when I'm just explaining why this works for ME. You have always been good at that. Thank you for what you do. You are so amazing.
OK so kwanza let me say, I AM HAPPY TO SEE YOU ARE DOING GREAT AND LOOKING EVEN BETTER 😊. secondly, this video was a lot to unpack. Your 5 years have been productive to say the least. My time in Kenya and Tanzania made me feel like I haven't learned who I am yet. That journey showed me, even at 39, I still haven't found out where I want to be. You said a whole word when you said " nobody owes you anything" 💯. I feel like when I am holding to the "what I could have been doing but this person didn't help" that spoke to me. I have been harboring my past traumas for so long that moving forward has been impossible. When I see how you can "let go and let god" that's inspiring 🙌🏽. Keep doing you, the rest will follow.
Sis it’s so true! No one owes you anything and it’s up to you to make peace within. It’s a HARD lesson. I’m just now getting it at 35. It’s never too late. We all have past traumas that we need to work through so that we can show up for OURSELVES… before anyone, it needs to be us. And thank you so much for your kind words. I receive it! 🙌🏾 much peace and love to you 💕
@@travelingsista so true.
Interesting take. As a Kenyan living in America i'd love to hear more about your experiences...
Dada yangu, the Universe designed for me to ingest your message today and I'm so very thankful you met the call to make this video and that Source guided me here. Asante. Amani na Upendo.
Asante sana dada. I’m so happy that this message resonates with you 🙏🏾
Yes Yes Yes! Preach!! No one owes us anything! It amazes me how so many believe that others Do. I was there, myself. It's what keeps us from moving forward. Then the realization hurts like hell. Congratulations on 5 years and for keeping it real, Kat! You are absolutely amazing! May I, one day, be blessed to meet you in person! Much love and light!💚💛❤🖤
T Sister Wow! Wow! Wow! This has blessed me so so much! I so needed this. Wow! You are so smart such a healthy person. I have been working on myself like this it’s so crazy you are talking about this. So true! Thank you! For this amazing video
Congratulations on your 5 years in 🇹🇿
Thank you!
Traveling Sista I’m learning so much from the words you speak. I really enjoyed when you were uploading regularly but you need the time for your personal life. May the Most High continue to bless you. Peace & Love
I’m glad that I could spark something ✨🙏🏾 yes recentering is a vital part for my mental health lol but trust, I’ll be fully back at it soon
Love you Sis. I am learning a lot through your conversations. Peace and Love to you and yours.
Yes, what ever you are creating, we are listening, watching, learning loving! Watching your journey over the last 5 years has been beyond amazing and if you feel to continue, I personally will be following for the next 5 years! ❤️💚🖤🙌🏾
Thank you so much for all of your support Sis! I appreciate it and can’t wait to reveal what’s in store.
Congratulations on your 5th year in Tanzania. You inspire in a multifaceted way. Are you ever going to do a video about native birds and plants? Much love to you!
Thank you so much ! And yes, I absolutely am. Very soon
FIVE YEARS!!!!! Traveling Sista, I thank you so so mucho for sharing your story all the way, your thoughts & feelings, your advices, your vitallity, I can understand you about needing selfcare/ Space, space you said, not 'selfcare' but I think you have shared & share authenticly, yes, spirituality.. finding One Self's Golden Dream... Oh... What a great family.. I can see your ups &downs..your honesty! I love you for that! I'm saving up like crazy ( you know I'm white.. I feel and think and KNOW that we're all ONE. If I let some stuff happen to you, then I actually let it happen to me!! So though I'm white skinned, we are all equally worth, ofcourse.
And positivity, empathy, honesty, are these wonderful stuff we can grow, with..evaluate, with. So yes, GROWTH🙏💝🦁🥥🎶🎶🌿🍀♾️ IT'S LIFE 😍🌳💓💖 But I understand I shall have to start studying that SWAHILI-language!
There's a guy, a youtuber, he walks through The African Kontinent right now. And from New York! But he also speaks swahili, plus other languages but swahili I feel is very important to learn before I come.
Oh, that about whats coming into my Life, that's right! And yes, your Motherland! And elevate our energy is a fact, and in Nature, like where you are right there, the pureness of nature helps so much, to Connect and get vibration up higher & higher.. I know. I am the most important person in my LIFE 😍‼️ Yeah, to put the Oxigen masque on myself, in the airplane, BEFORE one starts to help the others, one has to put the Oxygen-mask on oneself, first of all! It's about filling up'the oil lamp', so one shines!! Thanks for speaking about exsactly This, Cath. I've become totally alone, after my mans leaving his body, the crazy 11/09-2020.. it's been hell! And suddenly, NOW, I'm finding Selfhelp- groups! And Reiki group! My friends from before, they've left!
But maybe it's great!? Maybe I'm free? And maybe, as Mr. Alejandro Jodorowsky says; To become'A Whole Orange', one must do what one fears most, but what brings up one's passion, also, NOT ONLY THE FEAR!(Did you read Susan Jeffers'
"Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway!'? It's an amazing, and an easy book to read). But this is more a theme to talk about, and not to write, in an answer to your beautiful Five Year Celebration in Tanzania- UA-cam Video, maybe!?! 💓💖💓💖🦁🌾🏜️🌍🌙🪐✨⛰️🌳🦓🦓🐆🌾🍂🌵🍃🦒🦒🏃🏼♀️✨🌟✨Anyways; CONGRATULATIONS, TRAVELLING SISTA and a BIG HUG from the"Saving Sis" in Southern Spain ( I'm norwegian.) Now, A New Epoke in my Life is coming and it's up to Me..what I make out of this! (It's scary! And Also I feel PASSION, so this might be the right momento?) & I have alot of ideas, aswell, agriculture- based ideas..to clean up our mess in Natures' Own Way! Several ideas. And they're based upon teachings from the Agricultureschool where I studied, so it's not any 'fligh-high- nonsense', uncapable of being put out into practice. This became abit 'jumpy' written; Mr. Eckhart Tolle, mixed in to ecology, sorry, Travelling Sista, I got so inspired! You talk about so interesting stuff! 💖🌟🦁 We ALL have The Present Moment.
I’m definitely interested in your podcast, especially if it will include talks like this. The growth of others and them verbally sharing the lessons they’ve learned really give me a lot to think about and reflect upon, and in turn fosters my own growth.
I’m one of the people who was inspired to try Tanzania (Dar es Salaam) due in part to your journey, but it was not for me at all; I have been in Mèxico for 1 year now, and I’m happy to have found a place that has been positive for me. I now realize that I had to first find out what wasn’t for me before I was able to recognize what was for me.
Glad you went out on a limb and tried it! That’s the most important part. It takes an immense amount of courage and truth with yourself. Glad you were able to recognize that it’s not for you, move on with grace, and find a place that resonates with you 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thats to be celebrated!
I have been following you since i wa as in America. I moved back to my motherland TANZANIA. am so great to have you in our land. This is home for every African actressing the world.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Tuko pamoja
I'm an Empath also, and I had the same awakening as well. After almost all of my life of trying to be a Mother Teresa lol, I'm finally done with trying to save people and wake people up...Boundaries are a beautiful thing!
Wow! Five years already😱How time flies. Congratulations! Thank you for keeping it real.💕
Wow, thank-you, you are a born healer, so clear and wise. If you do any routine therapeutic, motivational talks I will be following because you just have so much to teach...gratitude !
Love u for the "me first". My me time once a wk keeps me sane.
Tanzanians we love you so much our Queen 👸
🖤💛💚💙
Thank you for your honestly about your transitions-- I respect that the most.
Congratulations on making 5 Years In Tanzania! Many people have LOTS to learn from your journey. It’s very generous of you, as always, to share your lessons with others. It is great that you started your list of lessons with that fundamental lesson that ‘kills’ many who choose to ignore it in Africa: PATIENCE is A Must. A variant of that lesson is: Slow down, you will last longer that way. Viewers should exercise PATIENCE and watch the entire video for the rest your VERY valuable lessons (I was tempted to summarize them, but NO, I won't :)).
My very best wishes to you, Freddy and Zora through the year-end season, however you observe it, and the seasons and years beyond.
Yesssss take care of you first !!!
Thank you Dada!!!
I'm looking forward to a new and improved Traveling Sista we can't stay the same we have to move it makes life more interesting
It's been a while since I watched your videos because I had subscribed and forgot to click the notification bell. But now I'll be on the know when you drop a video. Keep it blazing sista.
You enjoy your freedom and the free environment. Some people enjoy mental and physical control. Here in America alot of people have aligned themselves peace and harmony. The environment in the work and social systems are draining. NO losses only lessons. PRAYER 🙏 works people. Thanks.💯👍😊
Much Love and Power to you Sista. I loved donating to the Miners,
I missed you. Thank you. Yes & yes. & heki yeah to the podcast-gonna have to get a instagram-lol Its time
I’m so proud of you and your growth, keep doing you! You wear it very well!
You are so amazing- it's like the most amazing dose of realness and goodness especially as a creative and sensitive soul! Thank you I can't wait to get onto your podcast
Glad to see you back sister. I was in Kenya last month, looking forward to Tanzania next.
Happy 5th Tanzanian Anniversary Kat! Looking forward to your podcast AND documentary. You have accomplished so much for the diaspora through sharing your experiences and journey with the world. What a legacy you have established for us and your family. You’re SO loved by many!!! 🌹
🥰🥰🥰 thank you SO much 🙏🏾 thank y’all for hanging in there with me through all my weird transitions and ups and downs.
I’m happy for you, what a beautiful journey. Keep the energy my sister much Love and Blessings.
Thank you so much sister 💕💕💕🙏🏾 I appreciate you.
Drum circles and headwraps?!! LOL! What about coconuts and mangoes, 'cause that's all I need. Soon come, and yes your podcast is already AMAZING, even if its not up all the way yet!!
Lolll sis! You’d be surprised at what people expect… or then again, maybe you won’t lol. So much romanticizations going on. But I get it 🤷🏾♀️ and yes I’m gonna do it! The podcast is goin up. I’ll keep y’all posted.
"It's not about YOU" a very good mindset to have when moving from the global West to the global South including Africa. You are very right.
Nobody owes us nothing and especially Africa owes no African Diaspora anything. More importantly do we have anything to offer anyone??? Including ourselves
i love this lady GOD BLESS YOU
Congratulations 🎊 You are one of the pioneers to put information out about life here on the continent. You are truly appreciated. I wish you continued success and I look forward to future videos. 🤎
Thank you so much sis! And thank you for your continued love and support. You are appreciated as well 🙏🏾🤎

Habari dada, Big congrats on your 5 year journey! It was great seeing you at the market on Saturday, you are so real and down to earth. Keep being you! Thanks for your honesty.

I truly appreciate the videos with all of your honesty sister because I’ve been watching videos. I seen more glamorous videos vs what it really is living in Tanzania. You are authentic and that is something no one can challenge you about. Again, I’m so proud of you and remember God is using you (you’re a blessing). Keep your head up and we are thankful for you. Happy 5 Years!!! Love you Guys

Lmao 🤣 girl we been trying to tell you!
Great Video!!
I would love to listen to your podcast. I have been following you since your first video you posted. I remember binge watching your videos trying to catch up and I really know watching your videos made me fall in love with a place I have never seen.
Blessings and congratulations dear sista! Continue to be the light that you are to so many of us. Asante Sana.
20:15 I know you have enough on your own plate, but you'd make a great therapist! You're in our corner, but you won't sugarcoat the message. Tell people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear, so we can all better ourselves!
Greeting of Goodness to U & yours. Thank you for sharing. 🤗♥️🌱 nj-usa
I couldn’t agree more with everything you said! I mean on point to the tea 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
🤎🤎🤎
I will never forget your first videos with Freddie and how so charmingly in love you guys were. It puts a smile on my face.
I love seeing your progression in life to parenthood and partnership. So blessed and privileged to have a window to your life.
I appreciate you for this. It was beautiful and right on time. I’ve been here for a minute and can see and resonate with parts of your growth. Thank you for sharing your journey
Love it! I'm here not only for the travel content, but everything you said about energy. Gratitude and intentionality put us on the path to being an energetic match to our desires. I'd love to hear more inspirational content like this. And yes I'd love to hear a podcast. Much love ❤
Trust Queen, similar Patience in other places can pop off a complaint & bish Festival.
Indeed it's a TIME to take some time off in order to ASCEND, many will simply choose to remain! I hearrrddd 👂
Wow. I love what you did there. Acknowledging the bird up in that tree. Was it the rufus winged sunbird? Blue, yellow, black… background I imagine the green tree foliage!🇹🇿🇹🇿. Ime getting ready to repatriate and one of the attractions is nature & the outdoors. At my mature age it’s about letting go of all that I don’t need. I understand that having several streams of income is important. I would love to set up or join a creative writing group among other things. Your on point with sea moss as a therapist I appreciate the benefits of sea moss. I look forward to formulating with the powder also. By the way 2 weeks ago I took time for myself on a retreat here 🇬🇧 and also connected with yoga on line in Arusha. 👏
I believe it was the Variable Sunbird. They are just so beautiful. And yes, having an income that can sustain you in the most important thing you can have out here. It’s crucial. Congrats on the retreat! I need one. It’s about that time lol
I'm proud of you. Respect from Italy
Sister Katherine!! So good to see you. I would love to hear a podcast from a sister who was one of the First Pioneers by all means. More life, success, and health to you and your family.
Congrats to you and your beautiful fam👏🏾💯💜
Wonderful! I love your channel.
I paid 1-800-got junk to remove the stuff in my apartment, when I moved to a beautiful furnished apartment in safe clean and beautiful Queretaro, Mexico at 79. I always kept my clutter in Rubber Maid boxes covered in Mexican serapes. I never sell anything, and will give it away, orpay to have it removed. My Queretaro apartment is 100% furnished, includes all utilities and wifi, and maid service, with a king size bed, and a fantastic view of most of Queretaro. It is less expensive than the USA and safer. I thank GOD!
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉
How did you find that apartment? What is the price if I may ask?
Happy 5 years in Tanzania 🇹🇿 ❤.
Oh... Didn't know I cd get see moss in TZ.. In Kasulu
Do you have family there with you also I really enjoy listening to different people journey I want to visit Tanzania in the near future
I don’t have any of my US family out here but plenty of in-laws and extended family. And you should pay it a visit!
Congratulations on 5 years home

Self care is what's up 💯
Congratulations on 5 years!
Ghana enforced mandatory vaccines, because quite simply, it doesn't have the infrastructure to manage the high volumes of people travelling there during the pandemic/esp during December. I do wonder if they will change the rules now the festive season is over.
Do ya thing sis we ready
Wow, I love this!!
Yesss definitely want the podcast 👏🏾👏🏾
The universe has been forcing things and people out of your life. I have learnt to appreciate this too
Hello, completely off-topic, but what do you use for skincare products, such as moisturizers? are there oils and shea butter available in Tanzania?
