We made a BIG move this year! We picked up, sold everything we owned and moved to Kenya. While we’ve been sharing our experience living here, we’ve never said “WHY” we left America. If you’re curious to know the answer this video is for you. We hope it answers your questions. In addition, we’re excited to help you and your group as you plan your visit and relocation to Kenya. To get in touch, you can schedule a consultation through this link: calendly.com/germaineandsaidah/30min We’d love to learn more about your specific needs, especially for those relocating, and tailor a personalized roadmap to make the transition smooth and stress-free. Looking forward to hearing from you! Warmly, Germaine & Saidah
Hey fam, thanks for your insight/perspective living in Kenya. By the way, if you're interested in exploring more when it comes to your grocery shopping, check out the farmers market in Karen and langata. There are 2 other places within the city, but they're not open throughout the week. But the 1st and 2nd options listed above should be good enough. Plenty of organic foods and restaurants in one big place. Thank me later. God bless.
I'm happy you are having a great experience in Kenya. I hope to visit soon. You two don't look old enough to have children in college. Wow! You look AMAZING! You look like you are in your twenties and thirties. I subscribed. I enjoyed this conversation.
You should get a pressure or slow cooker for cooking beef and goat meat. I moved to Jamaica and the meat is similar to Kenyan meat and that's how I cook those meats. These meats are tough because the cattle and goats are grass and pasture fed. It's the kind of meat you have to pay a lot of money for at the most expensive grocery stores in the US.
I hope more positive couples like you would move to Kenya and make the impact you are making. Our country is not perfect but we try to make it as great as it can get.
My wife and I, have been here in Uganda for about 45 days , and we don't ever want to leave. 😂 my wife gave away her GL 450 , to her cousin, we have 2 business license , so we're in process of opening up and exporting in to the US, the weather is 60-89 ° yr around . Food is great, tilapia is fresh and the best in the world, rice brown bismati , we bought a Toyota passo sette, I don't drive, my wife is braver than me .the cost of living is crazy, fully furnished apartment 6 days a week maid service. Pool ,gym, for 24 hrs, security. $750 a month, $1.00 to Uganda $3,600. Kampala Uganda 🇺🇬 Ntinda.
See now!!! Y’all are living the life 🙌🏾 We plan to spend some time in Uganda next year God willing. We should connect because we’d love to hear your story on moving to Uganda.
Thank for the video. Kenya is great. We left Atlanta moved their for 10 years, then moved back to Atlanta because of finances. We will be back. The trick is finding a way to make money remotely, either through employment or an online business. All the best!!
I am Kenyan lived in US for 30 years and I love the patience of Kenyans, the grace they give, love for God and people, wonderful food, weather for sure, simplicity of life. It's lovely to be home
That sounds wonderful! It's beautiful to hear how much you appreciate the qualities of home. The patience, grace, and simplicity of life truly make Kenya special. Welcome back! 🌍❤️
I’m shocked that you guys are grandparents! You look young wow! As long as you are in God’s will, doing the Lord’s work, you will prosper! We are happy to have you guys here and God bless you and your family!
I love coming back home to Kenya. I felt the same excitement about moving to the USA over 20 years ago. We were told africa is this n that. But going back home after many years I realized what a blessing it was to be home.
Congrats to both of you! My wife and I are definitely looking at moving to the motherland. Just sold our house 2 weeks ago and downsized to a 1 bedroom apt. Getting everything together to start traveling. I'm 20 years older but it's better late than never. Fantastic video!
Thank you! It sounds like an exciting adventure awaits you! Moving to the motherland is a big step, but it sounds like you're taking all the right steps to prepare. Downsizing and getting everything organized is a great way to start. It's definitely never too late to make a change and follow your dreams. Wishing you and your wife all the best on this journey!
wherever you go dont tell your story to the people of how you sold your house etc!!! thieves n thugs everywhere..am kenyan....my people will chase you until they get what they want. they know you have money!! saved BE CAREFUL.that i know..most of us kenyans are not genuines..we are consmen/women..
Welcome Home. You both have beautiful Spirits. I have personally been praying for God to bring our Brothers and Sisters to come to Cannan (The Promised Land). So refreshing to see this unfold. Enjoy the power of the dollar locally - you deserve it. It may be God’s way of wiping away your tears. You are fighters. You are warriors, you are victors. We need you guys. We need each other. Together WE ARE STRONGER! Karibu Nyumbani. Karibuni sana. ❤
Your comment speaks to my heart. It feels like GOD wants me to come to Kenya after years of searching for which country may be best. After weighing so many factors, Kenya for spiritual etc reasons came to the top of my choices. Others were Rwanda, Uganda, SA, Namibia, Tanzania. I’m new at this and may need help figuring out a few details. The US is changing rapidly and it’s very concerning to me. GOD is guiding me I feel to come and bring love and peace and my talents with me. I do have my two huskies who are my fur babies and I hope I can bring them if coming one day to Kenya can happen somehow. I’ve moved and traveled in the past but never to Africa and it’s my dream. I knew a Kenyan years ago and she was such a kind person and wanted to show me Kenya but we somehow lost touch. She told me back then how much I would love it and I wished I had not been so caught up working in corporate America and had made more time to get off the hamster wheel to visit. I also want to explore my roots further and am waiting for my African DNA results back soon to narrow it down hopefully. One report said I shared mitochondrial DNA with Nelson Mandela and also pointed me to East Africa and some parts of West Africa also. Will see soon. I’m working on selling one of my cars and many of my things and will keep praying about it. Wishing everyone blessings, peace and Divine protection. ❤
Your perspective is incredibly valuable. Unlike many expats, u did not move abroad out of a place of fear or disdain for your own country. That’s a very positive sign.
@@TravelCheckInswatching you guys might have just healed my midlife crisis 😂 how are you grandparents and look this young? But also starting a whole new life in a new country.
@ Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s amazing to hear that our journey has resonated with you and even helped you through a midlife crisis. 😊 We believe it’s never too late to start fresh, try new things, and embrace change-no matter where you are in life! As for looking young, we’re just taking it one day at a time by the grace of God, living with joy! Keep following along; we’re excited to share more of our journey with you! 🌍
Its people like you that give hope and inspiration to people who watch your real conversations we appreciate your presence here and hope that all your hearts desires will be fulfilled
May GOD continue to be with you through this amazing journey.As a Kenyan am proud of you and thanks for love you have for our great country.Be blessed and feel at home.
Im so happy for you that you're able to experience the beautiful life in Kenya. I'm a Kenyan living in Texas and miss Kenya & the Kenyan culture everyday.
Thank you so much for checking out our channel! It means a lot to hear from a Kenyan living in the US. We're really enjoying our time here, and it's been amazing to share our experiences with everyone. We appreciate your support, and we’re excited to keep bringing you more content about life in your country. Stay tuned for more adventures, and thanks again for the kind words! 😊
I just bought a condo in Lovington and Melindi Kenya . I'm currently living in Atlanta. But originally from South Carolina . I'm in Nairobi every 3 months . I would like to meet up with you guys the next time I'm in Nairobi.
Thank you for sharing! I was born in kenya and lived there for 9 years! Came to the US and have been here since. Watching your videos and also other channels that vlog in Kenya, I've seen tremendous growth and change as well! I love how you explain things in details. Thank you!
Mad respect to you both for not bad-mouthing your home country 👏🏾🙏🏾 Very nice, unbiased comparison of the differences. I've stayed in Ethiopia and I'm 100% with you on the health of the food in Africa.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! We’re glad you appreciated our balanced perspective; it’s important to us to share our experiences respectfully and honestly. It’s great to hear you also enjoyed the fresh, healthy food in Africa-it’s truly something special here! Ethiopia is such a beautiful country too; we’d love to hear more about your experiences there.
Welcome to Kenya! Your story is an inspiration and I hope it demystifies the learned stereotypes and encourages brothers and sisters to make the journey back home. I firmly believe that God is doing something amazing with Africans in the motherland and in the diaspora, and you are the vessels He is using to fulfill His will. By the way you look like Kenyans already, Germaine looks like a Kikuyu gent while Saida looks like a Luo lady! Karibu Kenya
Jambo! Muzungu boomer here. I spent a month in Kenya and can’t wait to go back. It’s the people and the things you mention. I could go a week without seeing another muzungu, being with Kenyans, feeling like I had come home. Go figure. Thank you for your video. I hope your life in Kenya prospers.
Germaine has hard facial features and looks stern, this is the first video since I started watching you where he has appeared a bit lighthearted. It made me wonder whether other Kenyans come across him and think he is law enforcement in civilian clothing because I would think the same thing if he does not open his mouth and I hear the American accent. Great video!
Haha, that’s so funny! Germaine does have a naturally serious look, but he’s actually super lighthearted once you get to know him. We’ve joked about the same thing-his demeanor might give off those "law enforcement" vibes, especially if he’s not speaking. But as soon as people hear that American accent, the gig is up! Thanks for watching and for the great comment! 😊
I love hearing your perspective on why you chose to leave America for Kenya! It’s refreshing to see how you embrace life in Africa and the unique experiences it offers. The cultural richness, community connections, and beautiful landscapes you share highlight the many reasons why living in Kenya can be so fulfilling. Your journey truly inspires others to consider different ways of living and appreciating life. It’s great to see how you've adapted and found joy in a new environment. Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging others to explore the beauty of Africa!
Honestly, it's so refreshing to listen to you guys. There are so many Americans who focus on the negatives. Especially African Americans who have moved to Portugal. Thank you for keeping it positive. Thank you for promoting an African country. God bless you. I feel like your video is a sign for me.
Thank you for the kind words and support! It truly means a lot to us. We're passionate about sharing the beauty of Africa and showing people that it’s more than what some might assume. Moving here has been such a fulfilling journey for us, and we’re thrilled to keep things positive focused. Your message really resonates with us, and we’re glad our videos are connecting with people in a meaningful way. Wishing you all the best as you explore what’s next in your journey-trust that those signs will keep leading you exactly where you’re meant to be. God bless you!
It is the only solution at this moment in history. I may not get there but I pray my grandchildren can live to the Continent after they complete college. Take their education and add value.
New subscriber here. Your video was recommended to me by UA-cam. Am the USA now but am working on going back to Kenya my beloved country. Here is work work( which am so grateful to God for) but by weekend am so tired 😂😂 thanks for the video 👍
Waiting to see you make friends Upcountry, and show more life outside of Nairobi. Most Kenyans live in the rural areas, in their own land. Life there is different and more social, welcoming, real.
Yes, we definitely plan to explore more life upcountry and show what it's like outside of Nairobi! We know the majority of Kenyans live in the rural areas, and we’re really excited to share that experience-especially the warmth and sense of community that’s so strong in those places. We can’t wait to connect with more people, learn from them, and show the beauty of rural Kenyan life. Stay tuned for more!
@@tdunde that’s a BIG plus for us. We not only get to share our experience with our family back home through these videos, but with so many others as well who are interested.
@TravelCheckIns True. Some of my relatives immigrated to the US in the early 1990s. We could only read their experiences through letters or when they came back to visit.
I’m sooo ready to visit Nairobi and Masa Mara. I’m thinking the same we almost paid our home off. We’re gonna visit first. Excellent video, yall covered all topics!
You should! Our home is almost paid off, however we still made the move. We just rent it out now and it more than covers the mortgage. We posted a video breaking down our decision last week. Sounds like you have a solid plan in place though.
Lovely lovely couple..enjoyed every bit of this. Karibu kwetu Kenya and feel at home. May you find the fulfillment you so much yearn in this new chapter. Enjoy our hospitality.
Welcome to East Africa, the most beautiful region geographically and most progressive politically. East Africa is going to be a superpower in the next 30 years!!!
Good for you guys ❤ I would have loved you to show the environment you are presently living in. Maybe you'll give us a look next time. Best of fortune to you.
I love your positivity, I lived in the US for a while and I found the fruits and vegetables all tasteless. Welcome to Kenya and may the Lord bless you immensely.
Hey you guys are the vibe. God bless you. Make a point of using an Uber to go to Highridge ( its about 10 minutes from westlands) on Tuesday, Friday or Sunday for the fresh market. All the foods (veges and fruits) are fresh and cheap. Karibu sana. We love our bothers and sisters in Christ
Am a happy well mannered and warm hearted Kenyan. I tried all I could to intergrate with African Americans in USA. They totally refused. They gossip a lot. Thy have made me get fired several times and very mean saying we sold them into slavery. They always tell me to go back to Africa
Were you around teenagers? I have seen Africans from several nations thrive in the US. Maybe you picked a bad spot. Doesn’t sound like you were around responsible adults.
Thanks for sharing. Please explore more places in Kenya, there are more towns and cities with different test to life that I do think it would be worth your time
That was a great and smart advice sir ! People need to heal first before coming to the mother land . Most African Americans are hurting , but there’s hope here in Africa
I quickly learned that LOL!! I cooked beef for about 7 hours the very first time in Kenya trying to get it as tender as it is in American. It was crazy. That was definitely a culture shock for me.
Empty nesters and grand parents too??? I would never have guessed you both look really young!! Love your hair as well. Germaine seems more relaxed in this video. Saidah is always relaxed and smiling. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much! We appreciate the kind words. 😊 We get that a lot about our ages-it's probably all the joy we get from traveling and experiencing new things together! Have a blessed day.
I think travelling abroad is more of a calling. I remember going to the United states and got really depressed going back to Kenya. Now I intend to go to the us but invest back in Kenya. As for the renewal of the visa kudos for being law abiding citizens. Kenyans are not really vigilant on that aspect as I recall of an American who resided in Kenya for more than 8 years illegally but eventually relocated back.
It’s great to hear about your plans to invest back in Kenya, however we are curious to know why you find Kenya depressing. Thanks for sharing your insights on visas and the experiences of others-staying law-abiding is definitely important for us!
Thank you so much for the love and encouragement! 🙏 Trust His plan and move forward with wisdom and faith. We’re grateful for the confirmation and appreciate your support! 👑💯🥰
My favorite KENYAN UA-cam couple ❤❤😂 yup, you're Kenyan now! PS: y'all look great! I could have bet my kidneys you were in your early 40's or late 30's!!
Quite refreshing to hear story and the fact that you have allowed the Lord to guide you in both life and ministry. Karibu Kenya Welcome Home! Your empty-nesters stage and what you are doing with it is very interesting and I wish it were possible for you to speak to our couples group in church. Hope the Lord will enable us to meet one of these days. Baraka tele.
Great video once again guys and thanks for making it clear that there are many options for the lifestyle you choose to live instead of telling the people it's very expensive and you only have to come with millions to live there.
karibu nyumbani kwako. Nini kilikufanya ubaki marekani kwa muda mrefu na kwanini urudi nyumbani sasa? welcome home to you. what made you remain in the US for so long and why return home now?
@@TravelCheckIns On this specific one it's pretty much accurate maybe 9/10. It's a good tool to use to learn even if not 100% accurate. It gets better every passing day.
Deciding to keep your home was a good idea because you were coming to Kenya and you didn't know what to expect...though I know you did your research but you never know...get lots of love from me in Kenya
First time on your channel ...was in my timeline! You look so young tp be grand parents!! This was a wholesome episode! I wish you all the best in your endeavors and hope to meet up when I get to the motherland. Prayers and blessings!!!!
Nice to meet you both! Such a warm couple you are! Here in Sarasota FL feeling the spirit calling me to Africa for first time and I narrowed it finally down to Kenya but not quite sure where yet. Felt called to go near Mt Kenya but not sure. Since I have an older and younger Siberian Husky dog and envision living in a house with yard and area to garden/ and manage my online business. I’m single over 50. Any suggestions?
@@IngstarGlobalVenturesOfficial we actually offer consultations for people interested in moving to Kenya or abroad. There’s a link to schedule in our first pinned comment. We hope to see you here very soon. 🙂
Asante sana! It's wonderful that you've embraced both worlds, with Africa as home while still enjoying visits to the States. There's something special about having those connections in both places! How do you and your husband usually split your time between the two?
We live full time in Burundi which is just 1hr 40 mins by flight ✈️ but stay in Kenya for major holidays like Christmas.We can be in Kenya up to 3 months.We visit the States once a year.
Y'all look too amazing to be grandparents tbh!! Welcome to Kenya. Enjoy this chapter of your lives. Though there are certain things you should have checked out. Like you could have packed your things/belongings in a container and shipped them here, especially the things you didn't want to let go of. The government doesn't tax those things allows you to bring them in for free.
Thank you. We kept the things we deemed most important. I actually think it was good letting go of those things. Sometimes he hold on to things that we really don’t need. It’s been a freeing process.
Wow this is my first time watching you guys and are really enjoying your topic it's always great to follow the leading of the LORD.so happy for you guys wish I was younger KENYA or GHANA always dreaming to move .❤🙏
We are learning toward selling our house in the states when we move to Kenya. We might keep it and rent out to my parents if they decide not come with us. We shall see. Dad and I are coming on November 1st for 11 days so I will see if he likes it there.
I'm Kenyan living in US and definitely will go back after retirement. My advice is don't sell your property instead rent it. The income will be more than enough to live like a rich guys in Kenya. Reason because you can't make good living their by being employed. You either go and invest in real estate or anything of that nature plus you will be receiving rent from your property in US. Otherwise you're most welcome to our country and so long as you appreciate diversity of African culture you'll have wonderful time and excellent experience of tropical weather.
It's great to even have the option of selling or renting and the decision will be easy when the time comes. It's also nice that you'll have time to show your dad around Kenya in November and help him get a feel for life here. We'd love to do that with our parents soon Lord willing.
Glad to hear you are well settled in, enjoying your stay in Kenya and not missing home much apart from family. Just curious, has Germaine always been a Southern boy? His accent is so distinct from yours which I assume is from the North East. We could do with a little smiling from Germaine though 😂😂😂. The immigration department is called Nyayo House. Hopefully, your visa for missions/long stay is approved so that you are here semi permanently if not permanently. Your vlogs/videos have been enjoyable to watch, keep us updated on your journey.
Thank you for the kind words and curiosity! Germaine is indeed a Southern boy, born and raised, while I hail from the Northeast, so that explains the different accents. 😂 I'll definitely encourage more smiles from him on camera, but don't hold your breath! 😂 God is in control in regard to the visa approval. I'm know it will work out better than we can imagine. We're just really excited about the possibilities ahead. We appreciate your support and will keep the updates coming! 🌍❤️
See, I find myself asking the same questions...what is supposed to be the next chapter of my life? I don't know just yet...but I feel like its supposed to be abroad.
It sounds like you're on the verge of an exciting new chapter! Sometimes, not knowing exactly what’s next can be the perfect place to start. If you’re feeling drawn to living abroad, that could be a sign to explore those possibilities. Traveling or moving to a new country can open up so many opportunities and help you discover more about yourself. Whether it’s for work, a new experience, or just a fresh start, trust that you’re on the right path and the answers will come as you take steps forward. It’s exciting that you’re thinking about this-you never know what amazing things could be waiting for you!
It’s amazing to hear that our videos are giving you hope! Taking that step is a huge decision, and it sounds like you're already beginning to envision the possibilities. If you're thinking of a big move, just know there are so many who have felt the same and found a fulfilling life abroad. We're here to share everything we can to help make that dream a reality for you. Keep that hope alive-it’s the first step to creating something beautiful!
New subbie here n i love u guys already.Sometimes life is funny,the way some of us kenyans yearn to get that US Visa n on your part, you are happy n comfortable in Kenya😊
We get it though. America is a great country, but it has its issues. Every Kenya we know who has gone to America has reaped the benefits, but they give up some of the Kenyan benefits for the “American Dream”. One has to take the good parts of America and leave the rest which is often easier said than done. Thank you for the thoughtful comment and for subscribing.
You guys saying you are not feeling home sick cracked me. Thats the Mama Africa home feeling. I cant wait to finally make it to get back home and settle like you guys. I am always home sick!! And in Kenya they use JUMIA for online shopping.
Got to pressure-cook the beef here fam. That unlocked beef as an option for us. Karibuni tena. We can really identify with much of what you've shared. In terms of Amazon, there are a number of options. Curious about what mission school you're attending or could recommend. Grace, mercy & peaece.
Thanks for the cooking tips. We’ll definitely get a pressure cooker. For your question about the mission school I will link to the organization we’re part of and the missions training we are working on. Reach out to us if you have any additional questions. worldmissioncentre.com/liveschool/
Thanks for the great suggestion! Diani and The Cave restaurant sound like a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. We already have birthday plans, but we will be in Mombassa later this year and will look into making dining reservations early. Appreciate the tip!
A kenyan living in UK and when i tell other Africans ol go back home they think im mad... i love kenya and how we mind our business we dont have time to hare ourselves
Woow such a great insights a bout kenya, i really enjoy the conversations a bout your experience , food , cultural differences, the weather .First and fore most i would like to welcome you to mother land , the idea of the blacks coming to Africa was started by Marcus Garvey. Lastly wish you the very best in your your Mission.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for following along with our journey! We’re grateful to be able to share our experiences with food, culture, and life in Kenya. It’s amazing to reflect on the legacy of Marcus Garvey and the idea of reconnecting with the motherland, and it’s something that resonates deeply with us. We truly appreciate your support and kind wishes for our mission. Looking forward to sharing more as we continue this incredible adventure in Africa!
Germaine, the weather in Nairobi can be extremely cold in the months of June&July. The cold may not be as extreme as it was more than 25-30 years ago, because many trees have been cut down to pave way for housing contruction. By the way, the language is Kiswahili and not Swahili. You speak in Kiswahili not Swahili. Saidah, I believe you meant Nyayo House and not Nyanya. Nyanya has two meanings, tomatoes and grandmother. Welcome home
Hello, are there art museums, natural history museums, children museums, history museums, etc. Are there opera houses, play theaters, musical theater. Are there mega-churches?
We made a BIG move this year! We picked up, sold everything we owned and moved to Kenya. While we’ve been sharing our experience living here, we’ve never said “WHY” we left America.
If you’re curious to know the answer this video is for you.
We hope it answers your questions.
In addition, we’re excited to help you and your group as you plan your visit and relocation to Kenya. To get in touch, you can schedule a consultation through this link: calendly.com/germaineandsaidah/30min

Welcome Home. You both have beautiful Spirits. I have personally been praying for God to bring our Brothers and Sisters to come to Cannan (The Promised Land). So refreshing to see this unfold. Enjoy the power of the dollar locally - you deserve it. It may be God’s way of wiping away your tears. You are fighters. You are warriors, you are victors. We need you guys. We need each other. Together WE ARE STRONGER! Karibu Nyumbani. Karibuni sana. ❤
This is a beautiful praise report! I pray for Kenya every day.
One love from Jamaica.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the beautiful words! It’s uplifting to see such support. May God bless you! ❤️🙏✨
That’s beautiful! I’m on my way as well 🙏🏾 I can’t wait!!!
Your comment speaks to my heart. It feels like GOD wants me to come to Kenya after years of searching for which country may be best. After weighing so many factors, Kenya for spiritual etc reasons came to the top of my choices. Others were Rwanda, Uganda, SA, Namibia, Tanzania. I’m new at this and may need help figuring out a few details. The US is changing rapidly and it’s very concerning to me. GOD is guiding me I feel to come and bring love and peace and my talents with me. I do have my two huskies who are my fur babies and I hope I can bring them if coming one day to Kenya can happen somehow. I’ve moved and traveled in the past but never to Africa and it’s my dream. I knew a Kenyan years ago and she was such a kind person and wanted to show me Kenya but we somehow lost touch. She told me back then how much I would love it and I wished I had not been so caught up working in corporate America and had made more time to get off the hamster wheel to visit. I also want to explore my roots further and am waiting for my African DNA results back soon to narrow it down hopefully. One report said I shared mitochondrial DNA with Nelson Mandela and also pointed me to East Africa and some parts of West Africa also. Will see soon. I’m working on selling one of my cars and many of my things and will keep praying about it. Wishing everyone blessings, peace and Divine protection. ❤
I sat through the whole video and did not get bored once .....awesome
@@Sparxx74 Wow!!! Thank you so much for the feedback! We appreciate you.
Welcome to Kenya and East Africa!
Asante
Your perspective is incredibly valuable. Unlike many expats, u did not move abroad out of a place of fear or disdain for your own country. That’s a very positive sign.
Thank you
Who could've imagined you were empty nesters 😅 y'all look so young😂❤
@@Yourunclestoenail thanks for the kind words! Yep. We have 4 children & 3 grandchildren. All of our children are 20 years and older.
@@TravelCheckIns what!!! How??? Dayum. Am jealous.
Wow!! What do you eat? You look so young!! Please share what your health lifestyle is like. Black don’t crack for sure!!
@@TravelCheckInswatching you guys might have just healed my midlife crisis 😂 how are you grandparents and look this young? But also starting a whole new life in a new country.
@ Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s amazing to hear that our journey has resonated with you and even helped you through a midlife crisis. 😊 We believe it’s never too late to start fresh, try new things, and embrace change-no matter where you are in life!
As for looking young, we’re just taking it one day at a time by the grace of God, living with joy!
Keep following along; we’re excited to share more of our journey with you! 🌍
Its people like you that give hope and inspiration to people who watch your real conversations we appreciate your presence here and hope that all your hearts desires will be fulfilled
Thank you for the kind words and meaningful feedback. We appreciate you. 🙏🏾😊
You are a beautiful couple with a lot of great insight and knowledge. Thanks for sharing. PEACE.
You’re welcome.
May GOD continue to be with you through this amazing journey.As a Kenyan am proud of you and thanks for love you have for our great country.Be blessed and feel at home.
Thank you!
Im so happy for you that you're able to experience the beautiful life in Kenya. I'm a Kenyan living in Texas and miss Kenya & the Kenyan culture everyday.
@@anncharlesofficial499 Thank you. If it’s God’s will you will be back. Enjoy Texas. We hope to visit Houston one day.
Just found your channel and as a Kenyan living in the US, you all are definitely living the life 🤗Thanks for making this video
Thank you so much for checking out our channel! It means a lot to hear from a Kenyan living in the US. We're really enjoying our time here, and it's been amazing to share our experiences with everyone. We appreciate your support, and we’re excited to keep bringing you more content about life in your country. Stay tuned for more adventures, and thanks again for the kind words! 😊
I just bought a condo in Lovington and Melindi Kenya . I'm currently living in Atlanta. But originally from South Carolina .
I'm in Nairobi every 3 months . I would like to meet up with you guys the next time I'm in Nairobi.
What part of South Carolina are you from?
Lavington/Malindi ;) ;):)
Lavington and Malindi.... Enjoy.
Love Malindi , fresh air , cost of living is chear compare to Nairobi. I'm from Congo living in Texas , I've being all over in Kenya .
You must be my neighbor. My home is in Lavington but I love in seattle washington. Kenya is great but scarcity of jobs have pushed us away
Thank you for sharing! I was born in kenya and lived there for 9 years! Came to the US and have been here since. Watching your videos and also other channels that vlog in Kenya, I've seen tremendous growth and change as well! I love how you explain things in details. Thank you!
We appreciate the thoughtful feedback. Thank you.
Mad respect to you both for not bad-mouthing your home country 👏🏾🙏🏾
Very nice, unbiased comparison of the differences.
I've stayed in Ethiopia and I'm 100% with you on the health of the food in Africa.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! We’re glad you appreciated our balanced perspective; it’s important to us to share our experiences respectfully and honestly. It’s great to hear you also enjoyed the fresh, healthy food in Africa-it’s truly something special here! Ethiopia is such a beautiful country too; we’d love to hear more about your experiences there.
Welcome to Kenya! Your story is an inspiration and I hope it demystifies the learned stereotypes and encourages brothers and sisters to make the journey back home. I firmly believe that God is doing something amazing with Africans in the motherland and in the diaspora, and you are the vessels He is using to fulfill His will. By the way you look like Kenyans already, Germaine looks like a Kikuyu gent while Saida looks like a Luo lady! Karibu Kenya
Thank you so much!!
Jambo! Muzungu boomer here. I spent a month in Kenya and can’t wait to go back. It’s the people and the things you mention.
I could go a week without seeing another muzungu, being with Kenyans, feeling like I had come home. Go figure.
Thank you for your video. I hope your life in Kenya prospers.
Hey thanks for sharing. It changes the way we think about interacting with others
Germaine has hard facial features and looks stern, this is the first video since I started watching you where he has appeared a bit lighthearted. It made me wonder whether other Kenyans come across him and think he is law enforcement in civilian clothing because I would think the same thing if he does not open his mouth and I hear the American accent. Great video!
They would think what a handsome Kikuyu or Maasai coz he looks like both
Haha, that’s so funny! Germaine does have a naturally serious look, but he’s actually super lighthearted once you get to know him. We’ve joked about the same thing-his demeanor might give off those "law enforcement" vibes, especially if he’s not speaking. But as soon as people hear that American accent, the gig is up! Thanks for watching and for the great comment! 😊
@@TravelCheckIns you're welcome ☺️
@@ewm4266 he does look like a Kikuyu, didn't see it until you mentioned it
Just love that he wasn't gonna get caught slippin by that Kenyan women chat. Proper situational awareness by our boy 😁
I love hearing your perspective on why you chose to leave America for Kenya! It’s refreshing to see how you embrace life in Africa and the unique experiences it offers. The cultural richness, community connections, and beautiful landscapes you share highlight the many reasons why living in Kenya can be so fulfilling. Your journey truly inspires others to consider different ways of living and appreciating life. It’s great to see how you've adapted and found joy in a new environment. Thank you for sharing your story and encouraging others to explore the beauty of Africa!
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback. We appreciate you.
Honestly, it's so refreshing to listen to you guys. There are so many Americans who focus on the negatives. Especially African Americans who have moved to Portugal. Thank you for keeping it positive. Thank you for promoting an African country.
God bless you. I feel like your video is a sign for me.
Thank you for the kind words and support! It truly means a lot to us. We're passionate about sharing the beauty of Africa and showing people that it’s more than what some might assume. Moving here has been such a fulfilling journey for us, and we’re thrilled to keep things positive focused. Your message really resonates with us, and we’re glad our videos are connecting with people in a meaningful way.
Wishing you all the best as you explore what’s next in your journey-trust that those signs will keep leading you exactly where you’re meant to be. God bless you!
The Blackxit to the motherland has only gotten started. Karibu nyumbani.
@@peterkimani3364 asante sana!
Moving here, for us has been an exciting journey, and there's so much more to explore and experience. Karibu nyumbani! 🌍❤️
Welcome to our country, i hope my country is kind to you and that you find joy here
It is the only solution at this moment in history. I may not get there but I pray my grandchildren can live to the Continent after they complete college. Take their education and add value.
New subscriber here. Your video was recommended to me by UA-cam. Am the USA now but am working on going back to Kenya my beloved country. Here is work work( which am so grateful to God for) but by weekend am so tired 😂😂 thanks for the video 👍
Thank you for watching.
Waiting to see you make friends Upcountry, and show more life outside of Nairobi. Most Kenyans live in the rural areas, in their own land. Life there is different and more social, welcoming, real.
Yes, we definitely plan to explore more life upcountry and show what it's like outside of Nairobi! We know the majority of Kenyans live in the rural areas, and we’re really excited to share that experience-especially the warmth and sense of community that’s so strong in those places. We can’t wait to connect with more people, learn from them, and show the beauty of rural Kenyan life. Stay tuned for more!
Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! Thanks for checking out today's video.
This was excellent advice. As a Kenyan I really appreciate your wisdom in maneuvering Kenya so far. New subbie!!
Hi and welcome! We’re glad you found us and took time to share such thoughtful feedback. Thanks for subscribing as well.
I hear wisdom🎉! It is interesting how times have changed. People are now able to share their experience in new countries.
@@tdunde that’s a BIG plus for us. We not only get to share our experience with our family back home through these videos, but with so many others as well who are interested.
@TravelCheckIns True. Some of my relatives immigrated to the US in the early 1990s. We could only read their experiences through letters or when they came back to visit.
@@tdunde definitely makes us appreciate technology. We appreciate your thoughtful feedback.
I’m sooo ready to visit Nairobi and Masa Mara. I’m thinking the same we almost paid our home off. We’re gonna visit first. Excellent video, yall covered all topics!
You should! Our home is almost paid off, however we still made the move. We just rent it out now and it more than covers the mortgage. We posted a video breaking down our decision last week. Sounds like you have a solid plan in place though.
Hubby could easily pass for one of us. Kikuyu. Resembles Chris Kirwa
Haha, that's awesome! Germaine might just have some Kikuyu DNA going on! We'll have to look up Chris Kirwa now-thanks for the comparison! 😄
@@TravelCheckIns hehe, Dr. Dre
I love that you saw your family around, rather "like family". Hope you keep enjoying Kenya. God bless
God bless
Lovely lovely couple..enjoyed every bit of this. Karibu kwetu Kenya and feel at home. May you find the fulfillment you so much yearn in this new chapter. Enjoy our hospitality.
Thank you so much 🤗
Thank you for sharing i can relate to a lot of your experiences and look forward to making the final move in a few months ❤

Good for you guys ❤ I would have loved you to show the environment you are presently living in. Maybe you'll give us a look next time. Best of fortune to you.
We just finished editing our apartment tour video and will publish it soon.
I’m so happy for you family. Be happy, healthy and blessed. ❤❤❤
Thank you
Hi guys am happy for you.Am from Kenya living in USA with some of my family.
How are you enjoying life in the U.S.?
I love your content. Karibu kenya
Thanks! We love you ❤️
I love your positivity, I lived in the US for a while and I found the fruits and vegetables all tasteless. Welcome to Kenya and may the Lord bless you immensely.
We agree with you on the taste of the vegetables in the U.S.
Hey you guys are the vibe. God bless you. Make a point of using an Uber to go to Highridge ( its about 10 minutes from westlands) on Tuesday, Friday or Sunday for the fresh market. All the foods (veges and fruits) are fresh and cheap. Karibu sana. We love our bothers and sisters in Christ
Thanks for the tip!
Am a happy well mannered and warm hearted Kenyan. I tried all I could to intergrate with African Americans in USA. They totally refused. They gossip a lot. Thy have made me get fired several times and very mean saying we sold them into slavery. They always tell me to go back to Africa
Were you around teenagers? I have seen Africans from several nations thrive in the US. Maybe you picked a bad spot. Doesn’t sound like you were around responsible adults.
Thanks for sharing. Please explore more places in Kenya, there are more towns and cities with different test to life that I do think it would be worth your time
@@wafula-dev thanks for the feedback and for watching.
That was a great and smart advice sir ! People need to heal first before coming to the mother land . Most African Americans are hurting , but there’s hope here in Africa
Thank you! You're absolutely right-healing is so important before making such a big move. We appreciate your thoughtful perspective! 🙏🌍
Our beef and kienyeji chicken is organic, that's why it's hard
I quickly learned that LOL!! I cooked beef for about 7 hours the very first time in Kenya trying to get it as tender as it is in American. It was crazy. That was definitely a culture shock for me.
Empty nesters and grand parents too??? I would never have guessed you both look really young!! Love your hair as well. Germaine seems more relaxed in this video. Saidah is always relaxed and smiling. I enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much! We appreciate the kind words. 😊 We get that a lot about our ages-it's probably all the joy we get from traveling and experiencing new things together! Have a blessed day.
You both look sooooooo kenyan! So you basically came home♥️
😊 Asante!
I think travelling abroad is more of a calling. I remember going to the United states and got really depressed going back to Kenya. Now I intend to go to the us but invest back in Kenya. As for the renewal of the visa kudos for being law abiding citizens. Kenyans are not really vigilant on that aspect as I recall of an American who resided in Kenya for more than 8 years illegally but eventually relocated back.
It’s great to hear about your plans to invest back in Kenya, however we are curious to know why you find Kenya depressing. Thanks for sharing your insights on visas and the experiences of others-staying law-abiding is definitely important for us!
You guys look amazing especially your skin
We appreciate that. This clean Kenya food seems to be helping the way we feel also.
The Great Return has begun. Welcome back Home

Quite refreshing to hear story and the fact that you have allowed the Lord to guide you in both life and ministry. Karibu Kenya Welcome Home! Your empty-nesters stage and what you are doing with it is very interesting and I wish it were possible for you to speak to our couples group in church. Hope the Lord will enable us to meet one of these days. Baraka tele.
If it’s his will…we will. Thanks for the encouragement.
Great video once again guys and thanks for making it clear that there are many options for the lifestyle you choose to live instead of telling the people it's very expensive and you only have to come with millions to live there.
Thanks for your kindness. I hope many more will come to at least visit.
Welcome come home..... ive been living in the US half my life. I come back home this month permanently.

@@alexchui3511 yes. My friends tells me it’s unreliable as the words aren’t accurate. 😅🥴

@@GabrielOmollo-o1b thank you for the thoughtful comment.
First time on your channel ...was in my timeline! You look so young tp be grand parents!! This was a wholesome episode! I wish you all the best in your endeavors and hope to meet up when I get to the motherland. Prayers and blessings!!!!
We’re glad you decided to check us out. Definitely let us know when you’re headed this way.
@@TravelCheckIns will do!!
Nice to meet you both! Such a warm couple you are! Here in Sarasota FL feeling the spirit calling me to Africa for first time and I narrowed it finally down to Kenya but not quite sure where yet. Felt called to go near Mt Kenya but not sure. Since I have an older and younger Siberian Husky dog and envision living in a house with yard and area to garden/ and manage my online business. I’m single over 50. Any suggestions?
@@IngstarGlobalVenturesOfficial we actually offer consultations for people interested in moving to Kenya or abroad. There’s a link to schedule in our first pinned comment. We hope to see you here very soon. 🙂
@@TravelCheckIns Just booked time with you on Sunday Dec 1 @10am EST US. Will wait for details. Thanks and GOD Bless!
May Gob bless you guys ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much!
Indepth and enlighting!
Thanks for the kind words
Karibu nyumbani.As a Kenyan married to an American my husband and I have always chosen Africa. We love to visit the States though.
Asante sana! It's wonderful that you've embraced both worlds, with Africa as home while still enjoying visits to the States. There's something special about having those connections in both places! How do you and your husband usually split your time between the two?
We live full time in Burundi which is just 1hr 40 mins by flight ✈️ but stay in Kenya for major holidays like Christmas.We can be in Kenya up to 3 months.We visit the States once a year.
Welcome to Kenya champions.....Kenya is home for all
Asante sana.
Y'all look too amazing to be grandparents tbh!! Welcome to Kenya. Enjoy this chapter of your lives. Though there are certain things you should have checked out. Like you could have packed your things/belongings in a container and shipped them here, especially the things you didn't want to let go of. The government doesn't tax those things allows you to bring them in for free.
Thank you. We kept the things we deemed most important. I actually think it was good letting go of those things. Sometimes he hold on to things that we really don’t need. It’s been a freeing process.
Wow this is my first time watching you guys and are really enjoying your topic it's always great to follow the leading of the LORD.so happy for you guys wish I was younger KENYA or GHANA always dreaming to move .❤🙏
Hey it’s never too late. We are both grandparents. I can’t speak for Ghana but Kenya is at least worth visiting. Thank for watching.
Love this format. Enjoyable!
Glad you enjoy it! We like it too.
We are learning toward selling our house in the states when we move to Kenya. We might keep it and rent out to my parents if they decide not come with us. We shall see. Dad and I are coming on November 1st for 11 days so I will see if he likes it there.
I'm Kenyan living in US and definitely will go back after retirement. My advice is don't sell your property instead rent it. The income will be more than enough to live like a rich guys in Kenya. Reason because you can't make good living their by being employed. You either go and invest in real estate or anything of that nature plus you will be receiving rent from your property in US. Otherwise you're most welcome to our country and so long as you appreciate diversity of African culture you'll have wonderful time and excellent experience of tropical weather.
It's great to even have the option of selling or renting and the decision will be easy when the time comes. It's also nice that you'll have time to show your dad around Kenya in November and help him get a feel for life here. We'd love to do that with our parents soon Lord willing.
Glad to hear you are well settled in, enjoying your stay in Kenya and not missing home much apart from family. Just curious, has Germaine always been a Southern boy? His accent is so distinct from yours which I assume is from the North East. We could do with a little smiling from Germaine though 😂😂😂. The immigration department is called Nyayo House. Hopefully, your visa for missions/long stay is approved so that you are here semi permanently if not permanently. Your vlogs/videos have been enjoyable to watch, keep us updated on your journey.
Thank you for the kind words and curiosity! Germaine is indeed a Southern boy, born and raised, while I hail from the Northeast, so that explains the different accents. 😂 I'll definitely encourage more smiles from him on camera, but don't hold your breath! 😂
God is in control in regard to the visa approval. I'm know it will work out better than we can imagine. We're just really excited about the possibilities ahead. We appreciate your support and will keep the updates coming! 🌍❤️
See, I find myself asking the same questions...what is supposed to be the next chapter of my life? I don't know just yet...but I feel like its supposed to be abroad.
It sounds like you're on the verge of an exciting new chapter! Sometimes, not knowing exactly what’s next can be the perfect place to start. If you’re feeling drawn to living abroad, that could be a sign to explore those possibilities. Traveling or moving to a new country can open up so many opportunities and help you discover more about yourself. Whether it’s for work, a new experience, or just a fresh start, trust that you’re on the right path and the answers will come as you take steps forward. It’s exciting that you’re thinking about this-you never know what amazing things could be waiting for you!
I want to leave too. Watching these videos gives me hope.
It’s amazing to hear that our videos are giving you hope! Taking that step is a huge decision, and it sounds like you're already beginning to envision the possibilities. If you're thinking of a big move, just know there are so many who have felt the same and found a fulfilling life abroad. We're here to share everything we can to help make that dream a reality for you. Keep that hope alive-it’s the first step to creating something beautiful!
New subbie here n i love u guys already.Sometimes life is funny,the way some of us kenyans yearn to get that US Visa n on your part, you are happy n comfortable in Kenya😊
We get it though. America is a great country, but it has its issues. Every Kenya we know who has gone to America has reaped the benefits, but they give up some of the Kenyan benefits for the “American Dream”. One has to take the good parts of America and leave the rest which is often easier said than done. Thank you for the thoughtful comment and for subscribing.
Great video, thanks for loving our country
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Karibu Kenya. Lovely couple ,you can pass for Kenyan tribe Mr- Kikuyu Mrs -western. Hoping more African America visit Africa after this info.
Asante
You guys saying you are not feeling home sick cracked me. Thats the Mama Africa home feeling. I cant wait to finally make it to get back home and settle like you guys. I am always home sick!! And in Kenya they use JUMIA for online shopping.
We’ve heard of Jumia but our friends don’t use it. We’re not totally settled yet but by next year we should be locked in.
Keep them coming....love your videos....stay blessed
Thank you! You too!
Love you guys. Thanks whelping us pray for our country
Karibu sana.
Good move my people. 🎉🎉

Great content 😊
Thanks friend.
Got to pressure-cook the beef here fam. That unlocked beef as an option for us. Karibuni tena. We can really identify with much of what you've shared. In terms of Amazon, there are a number of options. Curious about what mission school you're attending or could recommend. Grace, mercy & peaece.
Thanks for the cooking tips. We’ll definitely get a pressure cooker. For your question about the mission school I will link to the organization we’re part of and the missions training we are working on. Reach out to us if you have any additional questions. worldmissioncentre.com/liveschool/
God Bless you all. Would love to visit one day🤗
Thank you!
Peace of mind and a living free of hyper stress is best
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing.
Germaine birthday coming up take him to Diani in Mombasa have dinner @ the Cave restaurant be sure to make reservations way ahead of time.
Thanks for the great suggestion! Diani and The Cave restaurant sound like a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. We already have birthday plans, but we will be in Mombassa later this year and will look into making dining reservations early. Appreciate the tip!
Welcome to nairobi
Thank you
A kenyan living in UK and when i tell other Africans ol go back home they think im mad... i love kenya and how we mind our business we dont have time to hare ourselves
The economics makes them not consider it. I get it but if you can get your money from elsewhere it’s a dream
Woow such a great insights a bout kenya, i really enjoy the conversations a bout your experience , food , cultural differences, the weather .First and fore most i would like to welcome you to mother land , the idea of the blacks coming to Africa was started by Marcus Garvey. Lastly wish you the very best in your your Mission.
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and for following along with our journey! We’re grateful to be able to share our experiences with food, culture, and life in Kenya. It’s amazing to reflect on the legacy of Marcus Garvey and the idea of reconnecting with the motherland, and it’s something that resonates deeply with us. We truly appreciate your support and kind wishes for our mission. Looking forward to sharing more as we continue this incredible adventure in Africa!
Germaine, the weather in Nairobi can be extremely cold in the months of June&July. The cold may not be as extreme as it was more than 25-30 years ago, because many trees have been cut down to pave way for housing contruction. By the way, the language is Kiswahili and not Swahili. You speak in Kiswahili not Swahili. Saidah, I believe you meant Nyayo House and not Nyanya. Nyanya has two meanings, tomatoes and grandmother. Welcome home
We love the weather here in June/July. Those are two of the months we know we’ll always want to be in Kenya and not traveling.
Hello, are there art museums, natural history museums, children museums, history museums, etc.
Are there opera houses, play theaters, musical theater. Are there mega-churches?
From what we understand…yes.
