How do you help autistic children eat, dress etc through a computer screen?
God I can't wait to visit. It's so beautiful out there. I'm tired of the US myself. Rather fend for myself. Live smaller, more comfortable and with beautiful, nice people. They're so kind. God bless 🙏🏽💚
Kids with Autism you Apply ABA and they become normal Adults? come on bro.
Good interview and kudos for making the move to Kenya which is beautiful country. I think your type of project for the autistic children , ABA would definitely thrive in Rwanda and would be very welcomed plus the visa situation would not be much of an issue in Rwanda. They work well with anyone investing there, no scamming in 🇷🇼, several Black Americans over there with clinics and schools projects. I wish you all the best !
This must be a new place. Thought you bought a place there initially
2500 in Kenya overprice
Keep looking around you can get a better house deal still in a safe place,the house is too small abi
I'm a white middle aged woman I don't know why anyone wants to come to the United States it's so divided and expensive and corrupt. Good for all of you finding your happy place ❤
Diaspora vibes! // Africa United!
Mr. Hilton, whats the name of that gym? I am relocating next month and I need a place like that.
Is he gay where the women
Off topic but does anyone think that he resembles Ryan Leslie?
Why is Nairobi Super expensive 🫰 compared to the rest of Africa?
Kenya is lovely, lovely people. Nice young man helping kids. Wishing him the best
I move there tomorrow. I have never even been to Africa but my husband works for a good organization there. Wish me luck!
Your apartment is so small! 800 seems a lot for such a small space
As a dual citizen 🇬🇧 🇰🇪. I'm also thinking about staying here.
Welcome to Kenya 🇰🇪
Sounds like your on the right track to being fully integrated into Kenyan society. To take it to the next level, I suggest learning a bit more of the language and hanging out with more middle and working class Kenyans. Next join visit a few churches for the casual Sunday service. This is a great way to integrate and improve your swahili. And finally buy in small shamba in outer suburbs and do some low maintenance farming. Half acre will be fine. Somewhere like Uthiru Nairobi area which is 20 minutes drive from your apartment. Taking it the next level if worth the effort and will charge your life for the better.<br>Best of luck.

Bruh'! I'm a 46 year old brotha from Vegas. Single. $4K per month (VA). I only wanna spend 2,600 per month. Feel me? I'm so tired of the Philippines. I'm pondering flight to Bangkok for a month, then to Nairobi. Let's link up. What visa should I go for?
Aids around you????!!!!!😢😢😢
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFDf3McHzxE&t=1913">31:53</a> you have to make friends with rich locals <br><br>Sorry today but it’s the truth if you want to avoid problems <br><br>A few are good hearted and won’t do that but you will have to sift through thousands before finding that
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFDf3McHzxE&t=1500">25:00</a> not the first time I’ve heard Black American families nit supporting a move to Africa<br><br>Disappointing
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFDf3McHzxE&t=1373">22:53</a> “unintelligent” hmmmm 🤔<br><br>That’s that internal white supremacist thinking coming in<br><br>Glad he admitted it as a lot of Americans tend to deny it<br><br>They’ll say they thought Africa was p00.r and stop there
What is his info? I’m working on my BCBA degree and plan to open a clinic in either Ghana or Kenya I have Ghanaian citizenship <br><br>I also have 2 autistic boys <br><br>I’d love to connect with him
Jambo from Washington 🇺🇸 State Diaspora from kenya 🇰🇪<br>O'ps thy western have been lying to you so u may not come back to ur roots<br>Karibu kenya bro
Congratulations brother🙏🏽
Fascinating video, in the light of my own, very different experience of living in Nairobi. I’m a 70 something Scot, been back home in Scotland since 1967, after ten years childhood in Nairobi. End of the British colonial period and the beginning of independence. As white expats, my family and I lived in a very privileged bubble, isolated from the real lives of so many real Kenyans. We hardly saw anything of the rest of the country, apart from a couple of beach holidays near Mombasa. I would urge you to get out and sample real Nairobi music and other culture, and real Nairobi street food, which I wish I’d done. And get out of Nairobi and see all the other wonderful, beautiful places that Kenya has to offer. Kenya yetu, hakuna matata!
“What you eat does not make them poop” is a BAR. I will be using that one.
These shows are doing a disservice with these idiotic takes on life in Africa… not to mention it fails to mention the true hidden costs of being in Africa as well as the safety issues.. carjackings, muggings, break ins…
Nice place where is the bedroom
I’m curious which area, that’s cheaper than what I’m finding furnished.
Welcome home
In New York running that apartment would cost you about four grand in a nice neighborhood
Congratulations My Brother! Karibu! Wishing u success and happiness!
One of the best videos!
Thank you so much for your honesty, I wish more people would be honest for we can be better prepared
i think african americans eventually be a nomadic people.
Karibu Kenya 🇰🇪💯
Bro. I feel like someone's is taking advantage of you being a foreigner . That apartment is not worth that money . The other Lady CEO of Traverse. She pays almost the same as you. Please compare
Maybe it's your friend Austin that makes ppl give you bad vibes; he made it very clear what he wanted out of traveling... bonafide passport bro looking to subjugate women in poorer countries.
I didn't get if the $500 a mth for transportation was a car rental or Uber?
This is the best video of the American experience in Kenya that I have watched so far. I just returned from Nairobi--and everything commented upon vibes accurate. I found the comments about the resistance of the idea by friends and family to be very salient. There is only one way to truly understand what's happening around the globe...and that's to put boots on the ground and go there. Africa is not an exception to that rule. Hollywood's depiction--and how Americans in general are taught to imagine Africa --is not reflective of reality. Nairobi--and Kenyans--on the whole are some of the warmest and kindest people I've met on the planet. Arguably markedly more welcoming than the average American. Also--the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in my life was in Nairobi. (The Marriott there is a world class hotel, and perhaps one of the most secure places I've ever been.) Some of the roughest urban living conditions I've also seen, however, were on the outskirts of the Nairobi. Comparable, if not more challenging, than say a place like Juarez, Mexico. Traffic and street life in some parts of Nairobi is chaotic on an order unseen in the United States. But there's an optimism and pride among Kenyans about the future of Kenya. I do not think it's ill placed. There's a growing political partnership between the US and Kenya, too--it seems--that I think might be beneficial to both nations. In any case: with or without the US, the future for Kenya seems bright. Its trajectory is upward...and other parts of the globe, including some parts of the US--cannot make that claim.
Interesting discovery. I moved into that same apartment exactly 20 years back and the rent then was a mere $140 per month.
I think you met the wrong people who take advantage of you.
From Washington State. Karibu kenya home sweeeet home <br>U give me so much multivation , as a mother of two Autistic boys, both born in Massachusetts ur multivating me to move back home and I know my boys will be okay with ur clinic in future. <br>My prayers
Ok i just was on a guy live he was in the slums of Nairobi, why are the streets full of garbage?
I'm Kenyan and living in the us is draining both me and my bank account lol, this is giving me motivation to move back there☺
850 Kenya Rent<br>2000 USA Rent <br><br>2,500<br>900 Rent <br>500 Food <br>600 Transportation <br>500 Activities <br>Cost Of Living
Things of that nature…over and over. Stay in Kenya black monkey
He lives in a bedroom
Fantastic ❤
come visit Uganda
Prof joseph ngala i like the video
So apparently the Kenyan women he met, married and had a child with this man left him 12 months after they moved back to America.....
I live very very well on 1k a month when I'm in Kenya. I am just working on my acre of land and new home. Why does everyone just want to live in the city? So many cheaper and beautiful cities in Kenya.
$2,500 a month it's too expensive for Kenya.
Welcome home
Thanks for saying as it is Black & White without sugar coating. Genuine real Talk there. <br>Kenyans need to change. We are all equal despite the colour.<br>Life is beautiful in Kenya with good Cash# income🇩🇪🇰🇪🇬🇧
It would be amazing if you brought your clinic experience over here.
As a Kenyan born who now lives in the USA so far this is most honest interview felt he told the the good, the bad and ugly painted the clear picture! No country is perfect but this a good picture on what to expect!
As a Kenyan l congratulate you for making a honest assessment of the situation in our country.
I am from Tanzania 🇹🇿 and have lived abroad ( different North Europe) all my life , I am always annoyed and confused when I visit my country, because of undeveloped infrastructure & the people’s laid back nature!!
Do you have a grilfriend?
He is very handso.e , smart great job❤❤❤❤❤❤
USD 2,500 is TOO MUCH my bro. <br>Your yearly budget can afford you kings lifestyle in rural Kenya like in Kajiado which is like 20KM outside Nairobi.<br>With your monthly budget, you will afford a driver, a nice farming plot, clean air, very good food and even employ a cook and house work assistant.
About people being opportunistic in Kenya;that is a phenomenon seen in Nairobi even to us natives.<br>Trust nobody in Nairobi it's a tricksters city.<br>That's why I advise you to find a home in the countryside, most preferably in the Rift Valley or the coast(Avoid Central Kenya).All white immigrants do that and they get less problems. In the city you'll not get any meaningful social connections as most Kenyans living in Nairobi say like 80% are economic migrants from rural Kenya.That means that in a few years, expect some of them to disappear from the city.
For premium products that you say are expensive, kindly consider shifting to Kenyan brands which are equally very effective to the purpose.<br>If not Kenyan, then go for South African products or consider online shopping your exotic products from TZ or Uganda.<br>Also, consider buying a ranch or a small farm outside the city most preferably in the Rift Valley where you can leave for weekend or make it your home entirely.<br>Having a farm for farming is how white immigrants consolidate their stay in Africa.<br>They move in and establish themselves as settler farmers as a sustainable economic activities before their main professions break even.
I'M ALSO MOVING OUT OF AMERICA NEXT WEEK ALSO, I ALSO BUY A PLACE IN WESTLAND NAIROBI AND I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO GET OVER THERE AND UNWIND MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY, I'M SO HAPPY ❤❤❤❤SEE YOU SOON WESTLAND ❤️
Thanks for telling the truth.
$800 rent for that tiny apartment is too much we live in 2 bedroom apartment big spaces with $400 Nairobi people from abroad are being scammed in Nairobi it’s not that pricy at all 😂
What kind of Kenyan men is he interacting with? There are some decent secure prosperous men who would definitely give him a change of perspective
Very beautiful home wooow we love bit me n my kids ready admire
Bro 😂 you wanna talk to somebody's lady, they will feel insecure bro so yeah talk to single ladies mostly😅
While I agree that expenses should be shared, please remember that, while 50 USD spent on an outing is 2% of your monthly expenses, for an average Kenyan it is more like 20% of his monthly expenses. However, explain your expectations to your "friends" so that they can opt out if it is unaffordable for them.
Glad you found your spot.
This is a man w/ a plan.
You sir are doing the Lord's work, great initiative. However my people out here ripping you off on the housing bit😌 I hope your personal assistant gets you a much better deal.
Very well spoken young man!
I hope the governor has heard about the comment that he made of the town having trash ,we need him to do something about that because there are people paid every month to clean the city.They are sleeping on the job
LaMarcus Haliburton???
I still can’t understand why some of the African countries “get use” to the trash
Good video but for an apartment you are paying soo much , you can get a luxurious safe in Nairobi. place
great video. i'd love to get to know Kenya. however, as a white guy ill grab even more attention, and "fake" friendliness. That idea alone kinda keeps me away.
I like the way even tho u earning way above the average usa salary your total monthly expenditure in Kenya is a very reasonable rate. <br>I saw someone in another video say he spends $3.5k per month which if you're on an average usa salary leaves u with nothing at the end of the month.
whats his Youtue channel name?
Great video bruh... I'm preparing a visit down to Benin for naturalized citizen status which will include a Benin passport (their welcome home to the African Diaspora fragmented society) With a passport from here, your a dual citizen that travels many countries (including Kenya), without any additional requirements. I love the way you show your assets to a different way of life. More please.
I don't get it...if it's that bad then why are you here?
After everything going on in america i am moving there. asap! hopefully next few months
That rent heavy for that apartment space … better buy an apartment.
for 2.500 you could live EVERYWHERE besides US like a KING! 😏
Gyatt
Cool stuff
Do you help kids with autism in kenya with ABA therapy? That's a gap that need more professionals to fill.
My first time watching your video. I like it. I subscribed to your channel. Your apartment is beautiful. Kenya is beautiful! Thanks for sharing. Please continue to be happy and enjoy Kenya.🤗🤗🤗🤗
The most honest expat interviews
There are 47 counties in Kenya. Sub governments once you get good friends visit around the country.
Up next
