Best Things About Living In Small Town Namibia | Tour | 🐍| African American Expat 

Am from Kenya, Namibia looks really beautiful and organised, thank you for showing the world that Africa thrives,and not as poor as western media want people to believe.

I am from Botswana and love your good job. Our continent is good and not as bad as documentaries and other powerful media portray us.

I am a Nigerian and am proud of you projecting the image of your town in Namibia. I am proud to be African. It's a lovely and neat place. Cheers

First of all, your small Namibian town is so neat and pretty ❣️ Also, I have enjoyed today's video

I think it's beautiful that there is a movement of people of color moving to Africa to discover their roots. It is clear that countries like America have failed to provide the safety and quality of life you deserve. It is a great loss to the home countries but I am sure this wave of highly educated and well connected expats like yourself are having a great impact on African economies too! It will be interesting to see how the balance of power shifts over the decades. Thanks for letting me peek into your world and hear your perspective on life.

Every time I watch our people’s videos about returning home just makes me cry! That is our home!

I am a Namibian and for a second I also thought you were mistreated and miserable, thank you for this video keep sharing love and light!

Many of our people in America, were brainwashed about African Continent, some even asked if we have Car. Africa is beautiful Continent, with many people with wonderful life. I was recently visited Mwanza in Tanzania, I was blown away with the Beauty of that wonderful city. As well travel African, who have leaves in three different Continents, and speak 6 different languages. I convinced many of my African American, co workers to visit Africa, and see themselves. But the only believes, in what the show them in their Media, about African Continent, that is poverty. The Western fabrication of story. There is poverty in everywhere you go on Earth, there is also people with great life.

As an Namibian am very grateful and proud that you are presenting our country like this. Thank you. Namibia is very safe and full of chilled people.

So proud of how clean my country is. 🥰🇳🇦

I live in the USA and would really like to retire in Africa. I love my country but want to leave. I pray this dream comes to fruition. I'm happy for you... may blessings follow you and your family forever

As a Namibian living abroad with a baby I totally get you. It takes time adjusting to a different culture and a way of life to top it off you have to deal with being a first time parent. Sometimes am happy here and sometimes am not am forever learning something new. On other news I 💖 the video.

When you get a random youtube suggestion and think "huh, which town is she in" and it's literally the town you were born and raised in...

I really liked this video. I must admit that some of your other videos did seem like you were having a difficult adjusting. I remember my mom taking me to stay in the country in Jamaica one summer where there would be no electricity or running water for two months. My Mom built her house literally in the Forrest. I thought it would have been so boring but it turned out to be fun. I didn't miss any of the modern amenities I was used to. We made wood fires. I took baths in the river and got fresh water from the spring. I realized that living on the land the way God created it was just as fulfilling. The greatest thing I remember was the connections every had in the community. It was not isolating like America. Everyone going about there business. When you are connected to people who cares about TV.

The environment and weather looks alot like LA the light also is no different than southern California very beautiful I like it🖒

I also stay in Otjiwarongo, I’m a Chinese, I love this town so much.

Could you do a video on the entrepreneur needs and start up ideas in your area!

I believe this small town is called Otjiwarongo if I'm not mistaken? Very neat and friendly there🙂

Namibia is actually not bad. For where I come from ( Republic of Congo) , Villages have no asphalt rods, no power. Even the fifth largest city in Congo where I’m born ( Mossendjo ), has no asphalt roads. Now I’m more interested in visiting Namibia

Hi I am from Namibia I so happy to hear you say that .

Just incase you're wondering, those are banana trees behind her at 0:14 . She doesn't have to pay at the grocery store. In Africa, the earth provides fruits for free. #OnlyInAfrica

I just watched a documentary that said alot of bad things about Namibia , yet when I watch your video it looks so beautiful, this is why I don't watch the media or documentrys made by corporate media , Because it doesn't really show how it really is, I prefer to get how something really is from people like you who actually live there , without RU-vid giving regular average people like us access to post videos about what goes on , people would depend on corporate media and that's a bad thing ,

Botswana and Namibia are very similar I have not been there but I research through and I love them. Brother from Sudan

A month ago, I travelled in Namibia for the first time ever. The country is super clean, road are probably the best on the Continent, and felt in love with Swakop 🇳🇦

I'm Korean having arrived in Tanzania for work a couple of weeks ago. Your videos have made me question my choice! I've really enjoyed your videos. Please keep them coming.

I like the streets are actually named after famous natives.

All across Afrika, you'll find small towns like this. I call them mini-paradises 🙂

Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

I'm loving that you are back to posting... for now 😉😊

Loving your storytelling. I know Namibia has best astronomy views out in the desert, and the cleanest cities, and The Marula trees growing wild. While I am planning a west Africa trip later this year and longer range goals of at least a second home and work base, I've followed the inspiring story of Brian D Wheeler (another American expat) in Namibia and it's on my list of places to see. Keep up the great work!!!!😊 your vids are positive, fun to watch and powerful in changing the narrative about living in African lands

I am trusting God will lead me back home to Africa. I was born in South Africa but I am hoping to move to Namibia.

Love it, love it, love it! You have changed my whole perspective on life in Africa. I have been burning to return and now am aware how blind I have been to many things and opportunities. I will definitely spend some time in small towns when I return.

I am Namibian and l have been following the channel since your wedding video. Its must be an interesting adventures for you. Its definitely interesting for me to listen to your perspective. I'm glad you are enjoying cos I'm one of the people who thought you are miserable and want to go home.

im a south african who is obsssed with namibia,i wanna move there so bad.my mom and i are still raising money to buy a house in windhoek.i truely love that country,it is very peaceful,clean and less crime unlike south africa.

You're simply smart.

This video just made me miss Southern Africa so much. I’m a Swazi living in Illinois. I can’t wait to go back home.

I am so happy you are fitting in very well and experience the real African live.

always look forward to watching your videos

THX ALOT MY SIS.VERY BIUTIFUL CONTINENT.LONG LIVE OUR MOTHERLAND AFRICA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice town i love it. Would love to visit one day

Love your mindset and perspective on things! Very inspiring!

It's so beautiful and clean with so less people... It looks peaceful... But here in India u will see crowds wherever whenever you.... go

That’s a great video, thank for sharing our Otjiwarongo!😁🥰

Welcome to the Land Of The Brave🇳🇦 PEACEFUL COUNTRY authenticity plays a key role here

Thank you for this. More motivation to go back

I always look forward to your videos. The progression you're making is inspiring. Thank you Kaylan!

this is a small town in Namibia? Man, Namibia is definitely miles ahead of Uganda

Nice video! You did a good job explaining everything ! Thanks for the post

Namibia is a beautiful country just a south Africa I love that country with good development ongoing.

It looks so relax their like no pressure at all “

I also enjoyed listening to your video. I will continue to learn more about living in a small Namibian town. Thanks!

I love your town,clean,no noise,looks fresh,I love the simple buildings,I love everything about your town

I love Namibia, I lived in Windhoek and the Caprivi.

The streets are so clean. I was in Africa during the winter, people were wearing coats, gloves, boots etc. I was out in a short sleeved shirt. People were asking me if I was cold. Now I did experience a cold night with no jacket and almost froze to death.

nice thanks for sharing im wanting to visit the African continent

I'm so glad your videos are back to back so refreshing to see. I agree with you with living in small towns. I love the small towns outside of Kampala plus it was very cheap.

Thankyou so much for a positive video. I am seeing so many videos of negative experiences in Africa as a whole. Really appreciate you

Thanks for your videos, really enjoying them!!

Hey! I am from England and I have a friend from Namibia. I didn’t really know much about this country before I clicked this. I was pleasantly surprised, I feel that there are a lot of stereotypes about Africa. What a beautiful country! I’m glad I was optimistic and watched this video! Xo

As a future Peace Corps volunteer going to Namibia, I really do appreciate your perspective. Thank you and hope to see more content on Namibian living as an expat. My journey begins this April :)

Great video. I miss Namibia, I must return!

I've always said that if I had the funds I would open so many businesses in African villages. Like for those power outtages how about solar energy. I live your vids stay blessed

Love the video and knowledge always. While In Cameroon we are going solar to stop those power outages.

Your town looks lovely. You seem happy to me. Wow! I'm so surprised you're being perceived that way. I love getting a video from you. ♥️ Your makeup is pretty.

This is my favorite videos of yours so far. good points

I am Namibian. This is such a beautiful video...

Thank you. Making me happy. Thanks for the vlogs sis. I wonder what school is like. Wish I can raise young children there.

Don’t worry about power outages, one of Australia’s biggest cities, Adelaide. Gets them all the time, electricity his really expensive and you are going to get a power cut at least a fortnight

I totally understand how you feel. I have lived in South Korea for 7 years. I am many times disenchanted but that would happen living anywhere including your native country. I think people who have not lived abroad permanently or long term do not understand that everyday you learn something new about the country, culture and language that can be surprising, interesting or frustrating. I appreciate your channel and blog. As a black american I enjoy seeing us immigrating around the world and sharing our perspectives on the world. Keep sharing your honest thoughts which many times are not pretty but a chance for growth.

Hi Kaylan, thanks for always sharing your experience and giving us a glimpse into your life as an expat. I also glad that you made it clear that you are happy about the decision you made to move to Namibia. I live in NYC and I believe that I complain every day about something that I don't like about this city lol. One day I'll throw caution to the wind and pack up and move...but only to L.A. lol. Looking forward to your next video. Until then, take care.

Thank you so much for sharing. Looking forward to learning more.

Nice 1. I lived in Ott for 10 years before I moved here, it's safe, clean and just beautiful 🤗

I’m so happy to see this from Iowa USA, that’s Actually my town Otjiwarongo so moved that I can recognize every single place displayed in this vid, That recalled a lot of memories...! I’m following you channel right away. Thank and beautiful over view ❤️

Awsome stuff..great town..am glad your enjoying it here..been abroad,i love it here in Namibia..

Yay madame shipanga, beautiful and yes otjiwarongo is one of the safest and cleanest towns in namibia..I hope to meet you one day am die hard follower .. looking forward to the next video☺☺☺

I like what your sharing the bellafon and drums is nice and relaxing along with the view,get out and enjoy your town very happy for you.

This is absolutely nice, you earn yourself a new subscriber from Tanzania 🇹🇿 Karibu nyumbani(welcome home)

I really liked your video I once thought about moving to Namibia, but then I didn't live in Norway now after That I've lived for 20 years in Florida.

Thanks for sharing. Great video 😊

Great videos! I'm subscribed looking forward to more of your journeys.

Thank you for your videos very refreshing and informative!

Wow! Its so beautiful there! Tfs❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

You are being real and that's good for those of us who would like to move to the continent ..give thanks Princess ..keep naturally beautiful..

I live in America and i have been seriously contemplating about moving to Africa for a few years now. I have some African friends that live here as well. He has built his compound in Nigeria from America. Now he has an apt building that’s ready to go and building another. Living in America is stifling i do not fit in this place. But anyways i tried to get in a group that’s for expat ppl. They denied me not to be a member. I felt it was because I’m not educated inclined. But i love your video. We Americans do need someone on the other side to help with info etc.

Good to hear someone else from America speak about favourite things you like about the small town. I am a Namibian living in South Africa now and found it challenging to adjust. Thanks for sharing.

You really encouraged me not worry about the challenges anymore. I really like your videos.

Wow. What a lovely video to watch! I am born and bred in Namibia and it was very interesting to listen and see how you are reflecting your personal experience living in Otjiwarongo. I have to share this link with family and friends in Namibia and in the USA. Please keep on making more videos of this positively constructive nature to counter the overwhelmingly negative publicity Africa receives abroad in the mass media in general. You are a true friend of Africa and particularly Namibia. Be blessed, my sister. Love you.

How are you, sis? Hope everything is alright. We haven't seen you on in awhile. Miss your videos, may God keep blessing you and your family!

The beautiful little town and I do believe the crime rate is very minimal!!! I wish you a great and long life over there with no racism surrounded your people. Thanks for all the great tips.Shalom, my Sister!

The terrain seems very similar to my hometown of Los Angeles, CA.

Please continue to be honest about the transition. i am planning to move to Africa soon and your honesty is helpful to helping me get mentally prepared. The truth is some people are looking for any reason to stay here and want nothing to do with Africa.

Keep being open sis! This is your story to tell! Life as an expat is so conflicting...you explained that wonderfully! I find that people who have never lived abroad (not visited) and Africans from the continent have the hardest time understanding/empathizing.

I really understand where you are coming from, for I lived part time in Acapulco, and the earthquakes ran me away. I miss my favorite foods, when out of the USA. My daughter is now is now in Hoi An, and she is 38. I gave her the love for travel. I love your town, and I do research the world from A-Z. You are looking as beautiful as ever. Singapore was the cleanest and safest place, that I ever visited, and I would live there in a heartbeat. There are too many rapes, murders and other crimes here in the USA, and unless armed, you cannot really be safe, and our evil ,demons are so sneaky about cowardly attacking you. I cannot take the heat or the bugs, so at 75, I am happy here without power failures etc. I do shop for groceries online, but I use PeaPod, and not InstaCart, who will overcharge your debit card.

Loved your very informative video. Thanks for sharing, and Lance is a cutie! May God continue to BLESS you.

The big old locomotive is a fascinating symbol!

Love it, thank you for showing me Namibia 😍😍

Togetherness is Africa thing, we love everyone.

Thank you for taking us on a tour of your small town!

Great video! I definitely agree with a lot of your perspectives. I moved to a small town in Senegal straight from the city and it is a large adjustment, but it does humble you and you become appreciative. You learn how to become creative, and like you said fill necessary voids in business/entrepreneurship.
