The quality of life Jael is living is unmatched… this is inspiring

I'm a Zambian nurse also working in the US. What Lynn in the US told you is true. I have been here for 34 years and in my 60s. You get trapped here and at the same time you get scared of returning home because you don't have anything back home. You entangle yourself of buying a house and paying for mortgage for the rest of your house. Even if you pay off your mortgage your property taxes tremendously go up and so you will never be free until you die. I have made up my mind to go back home now and live in the village. I have bought 11 acres of land about 45 minutes outside Lusaka the capital of Zambia. I have another one in another village also outside Lusaka. Although I come from the northern part of Zambia, one can buy land in any village and become part of that tribe and culture. We live where you want to live. You did well by not coming to US. So many Zambians are relocating back home. One of the friend just left last week. I'm also preparing of transportation back home. There is no life to enjoy here.

Nothing beats Countryside life.... My friends thought I had signed a quick death warrant after I packed my bags and headed to my Hometown but 5-6 years into it,most of them are accusing me of being selfish whenever they pass by! They are angry that I didn't share the visions I had about the transition!! Am not good at farming so I ventured into tourism and so far no regrets.... Am strategically located along the tourism corridor of Bwindi impenetrable forest and the Western side of Queen Elizabeth national park in Western Uganda.... Thank you Lynn Ngugi for picking interest in Jael's interesting life.... Come visit Western Uganda, you will love it

She is more comfortable than majority of those throwing shade at her. She has an awesome life...beautiful home and compound, food directly from the garden, fresh air, parks outside her house( doesn't have to pay kanjo),has water and electricity and paying school fees like other folks. She is blessed.

I am sooo encouraged. I wish to live a village life but my friend go like........na hizo degree xote? My house project started in 2017. I am patient. I have just roofed it. So madam take your time. You are building your house, it is not building you. I am also harvesting water. I am now standing at 10 water tanks, each carrying 10,000 litres of water. I am now sabing to do sollar. Meanwhile, I am doing 100 bee hives. Just getting ready to relocate to the village.

Thank you so much, Lynn, for the visit. You are such an amazing soul and it was so wholesome to have you here.

My mom has left Vienna Austria too after almost 30 years of being here , to stay in the village in Kenya - Ukambani (a village called Nunguni) Respect to this strong ladies !!!! 😊😊

Great conversation ladies. Village farming life is the best in life. I retired at 48yrs after COVID-19 redundancy. I am farming and I am fulfilled

Among the many gifts I received this year was the discovery of Jael's channel. It's so entertaining, therapeutic and educative. Keep it up Mama and I wish you nothing but the best.

This lady is carrying my dream.Exactly what I have been meditating on

I love this lady. She is authentic and honest. This is the type of a woman i compart with. We share the same dreams.

As a Single Mom of 2 I tap into this Blessings🙏🏼❤

“How do you show off what is your normal life?” Jael love that quote. You, live your life. You are very inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

I live in Australia,been here 19 years now n can’t wait to go back home😊. This lady is living my dream. ❤

I live in the UK. Been here quite a number of years now. Jael’s life is the perfect life l have been dreaming of when I’m done with this UK life. You’ve given me even more motivation about realising my dream.

Colonialism has messed up our minds and perspective on true living. The social conditioning is so deep many of us don't see 🤦‍♀️

I agree with your approach. We should not show Africa as the land of poverty. Love from South africa. Our villages are home we should take care of them. I am a village girl myself.

I have watched most of Jael's videos. She is living the life of my dreams. I love a peaceful quiet life of the village but it has to be next to a developed town. I love what she does. So inspiring!❤

I'm a city girl at heart, born and bred. My parents moved to the City in the late 50s before we were born so all i knew was city life though they took us home once a year during school holidays. Now I'm married with grown kids and my own "dala", i want to make it a comfy place where we can all retreat occasionally to recover from city pressure. Though I'm not a farmer but my spouse loves farming so we balance 😂

She’s ahead of her time! Kudos to her 👏🏾👏🏾

I've watched Jael and love her life in the village. For the last couple of years I've been considering relocating to the village. You could say, 'I'm a village girl.' My husband is down for this as well. Unfortunately most people don't think village living can be fulfilling. Having watched Jael on her channel, my resolve was strengthened. Thank you Lynn for this episode.

I am beginning to think twice about leaving kenya for US after listening to that last part of the conversation

Watching this from a small village in Kwale county opportunities are hidden deep in the village...truth

I always tell my friends that Runda, Muthaiga or Karen don’t have to be in Nairobi. You can have all these in the village too. Always love your videos. Good job Jaber👏🏾👏🏾

Kenyan women are beautiful no makeup and glowing

She's turned a village into runda!!! Kudos to her. Makes me inspired to go back to my village.

Village life is bae. Been subscribed and following Jael and the more I watch her the more I long to go back to the village. From London straight to the village 😊. Abba, Your time is perfect.

Jael is really a vibe enjoying every hunk of life and quality time. this is what gives meaning to clean content...

I love Jael, her voice in her videos is so calming. And I envy her life so much, peaceful, fresh food, fresh air, lots of space, chirping birds and the best part, the feeling of grass on bare feet, oh my!! She is living the dream.😊

I am a subscriber of Jael. Hiyo Manisha imeshinda hata ya London. I think Lynn can testify to that. Love her effort.

This is exactly what i have been telling my family and friends, hopefully i will have this in feature.

This is amazing 👏... My friend recently retired from teaching at an American university and he wants to come back to Western to farm. This is what his future will look like. You've done an amazing job, thank you for showing us that life in the village can be beautiful 😍

Hi Lynn ,I am a South African and I have long subscribed to Jael & your channel.I love Kenya and watch a lot of content from Kenyan bloggers.The agriculture bloggers are also good.Keep up the good work and I enjoy watching your beautiful channel.All these has inspired me to plan a tour to Kenya next year.

She is living better than some of us in the city 😢,

I am from Jael’s page and I hit the subscribe button so hard when you said we are looking for opportunities overseas when they are right there! So true. I am originally from Nigeria and came to America as a kid with my parents. The truth is they have sold us the western dream and made us think it’s the best thing in the world. I am glad Jael listened to her friend. My family in Nigeria would think you are an enemy of progress if you discouraged from coming to America. The truth is most of them are doing extremely well and coming out here will be a demotion to their lives, but they just want to go overseas. I came here as a kid and by the mercy of God after 30 years I am doing well, but I look forward to finding a peaceful place a the village. Also here in America, some of the wealthiest people live in the countryside AKA villages, but they own the stores and businesses in the cities. I visited my parents in the village when I was a kid and I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you for bringing wichtcraft up, I thought it was only in my country. Most of my uncles ran from their mansions in the village because of that. I enjoyed this interview, thank you for promoting your sister. May God bless in all that you do.

Urbanisation is just like migration in that they both have many advantages on a national level but it might be really detrimental for individuals. On individual level integration and coping in urban environment most likely leads to stress (environmentally, economically, socially) and in the end mental health issues. I love the way that she reflected on what is more important in life, at least for her. She is a hard worker though not materialistic and therefore considered what mattered most for her family. What an open strong woman! A pragmatic leader who makes sound life decisions. Yes, women can live on their own and we dont always need a man to live a fulfilling life. @lynn thank you for not pushing her or questioning her on her choice of living outside a marriage bond. Many of us live a celibate life by choice and our lives are a blast:)

I enjoy watching Jael in the village life. Thank you so much for featuring her. Being in the village is so peaceful, and Jael makes it come to life❤

This is my little sister from another mother, osiepa nyar kabondo. So proud of her and always watch her vloggs. Very inspiring mamma ❤❤

Lynn, I never fail to be moved by your authenticity and for your thoughtful interviews of your guests. Its like you put yourself in their shoes and yet give them the lead to be.

I had to pause here and run to your channel to see what you're all about. Wow mama you have inspired me! I have been waiting to get perfect content but you made me realize the only content that can be perfect is real content. The simplicity of your videos is soothing and relaxing! I'm starting with what God has put in my hands . May God bless you and keep inspiring you 🙏🏾

Wow, Lynn finally meets Jael in the Village, you girls have made my weekend. Life is trully what you make it. I love this.

Oh wow. Lovely seeing Jael being interviewed by Lynn. Absolutely beautiful.

With all the social media and Internet you can make it anywhere if you put your heart into. Village life is perfect these days. You can also order things online and get them delivered to your home safely. Be positive. The air is fresh.❤

Most of us grew up happily in the village with plenty of playing space and numerous adventures, then all of a sudden the village becomes a bad place, this has to change.

I just love staying in the village I am retiring in two years I have build my retirement house in the village

I really love your RU-vid channel Jael. I recently moved to the village with my small family and life in the village is never boring as people think.

Watching these two beautiful girls with a broad smile... Village life is so therapeutic. Thank you Lynn and Jael

I just discovered her channel and watched most of her videos. She’s doing a good job.

Very beautiful, i love it. So peaceful one can feel it. Thanks Lynn for interviewing and Jael for sharing your story. Its very uplifting and motivating. Congratulations Jael

Very informative story of a successful village farmer in Africa. Farmers are the people who are responsible collectively for feeding the world population I'm from the US and career opportunities are good for educated people especially in the technology field. The US is a good place to visit. However, the cost of living is not cheap especially in larger cities! Many Americans are struggling financially in the current economy of 2023 and homelessness is increasing in several major US cities. The American dream is becoming a nightmare for some people! I encourage anyone from Africa who are now living in the Diaspora to build homes and businesses back in Africa as soon as they can. Make sure to hire reputable builders and contractors so that you're not scammed or defrauded. Please make sure that you are also not scammed and taken advantage of by family members when you're building in Africa. I've heard so many stories about Africans in the Diaspora being defrauded by their own family members ehen building homes and businesses back home in Africa.

Jael of the village inspires many. Happy Lynn you went to interview her

Me hear in Saudi watch at same time thinking what am doing hear while my parents land nothing there ,thank you lunny for opening my maind,now l know what to do.this is so inspiration

Even before I watch the story let me comment ...I bumped into Jael's Channel 2 weeks ago and have been consistently watching her videos...was looking for how much it can cost me to build a house when I saw her video...she is a calm and a lovely lady ...now I came to my lovely Lyn's channel and I find her here and am like ' wow'....we are watching from Dubai and much love for the good show❤

I love Jael's channel alot. My favorite is her cooking, her cows and pumpkin patch. I have tried to grow my pumpkin seeds in the city but not yet successful. Her unapologetic approach to living inspires me alot. I know am a village girl at heart ❤️

I live in 🇬🇧 and I admire Jael village life. I cannot wait to be a village dweller as well.

My wife and I always watch Joel and wonder where in luo land that was our guess was Rongo but now we know it kabondo. Village life is the best as long as many do not export bad morals and values from the city. I go to Kenya every year and if kisumu airport was an entry point I would gladly avoid nairobi.

Hi Lynn I made the same decision to go back to the village. Retired at 43 and am so happy, relaxed, refreshed, re-nergised and you know what in the 19yrs that I was working I used to see my parents twice a month and now I get to see them every single beautiful day and I thank God for that. With this story I am blessed to say I made the right choice. Thank you Jael for your beautiful story. You have inspired me so much ❤

This has always been my dream;- moving the city in the village. I know God is gonna fulfil it, thanks Lynn for bringing such a wonderful lady Jael.

She was my school mum,I follow her and will soon live in the village thanks to her inspiration.❤❤

Congratulations mama.❤It takes real courage to find who you really are and to live the lifestyle you connect to. Im on my way to the village life.. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I worked in sales for 3 years but quit.. The pressure was something else... 2 yrs doing remote IT stuff now... And happy 😊

This is such a lovely video, bumped into on of Jael's channel and it was magnetic,so real and happy.Good job Lynn for highlighting Jael.

My two favorite women. Thank you Lynn for always taking us with you

My parents too, they are both retired from the UK and they relocated back to the village of Muranga. They are happy because really why are they in Nairobi at their retired age? Their lifestyle is very much like Jael, who I actually have been subscribed I love her story telling.

Wow here is my Jael much love from Tanzania❤❤❤🇹🇿🇹🇿

Happy to see jael here she has inspired me so much.much love

I love Jael and watch all her vlogs, they are very therapeutic. Honestly, alot of people in Kenya are struggling to make ends meet. If that person gets an opportunity outside the country, they can go make some money and come back and build something for themselves; business, home etc otherwise alot of folks will die poorer here

This is encouraging b all of us toiling in big cities, toxic work environment abroad, may we get a break through also. I cant wait to live in a village /homestead!

Woohoo!! Jael made it on LNN. Love her content and I'm working towards settling in the village

What a beautiful life! I love what Jael is doing and pray to have the same courage in life

Love this channel for inspiring and having a mindset shift for me. Relearning how to live life!

Jael happy to see you at LNN ,you have inspired me alot am also relocating to the village still focusing on what business to start with,your going far Jael..

Ooh my favourite people together ❤. I think the city is toxic there is pressure of catching up with the ... In the village life is simple especially if you have a comfortable house / home

I follow Jael on her you tube channel I love how she has made village life so enjoyable thanks Lynn for interviewing her greetings from Uganda.

Congratulations Jael. I always love to watch your videos as soon as I get a notification. Very inspiring and informative videos 😊

Woooow Lynn thanks for visiting Nyanza and interviewing this phenomenal lady ... I love her vlogs

How inspiring this conversation has been. It is a mind shift.

Good to see Jael,her videos are always therapeutic 🥰

Omg! I thought it was a notification from Jael's channel. Lynn, thanks for hosting her. I'm her #1 fan and this is my absolute dream life that she is living. It's so fulfilling. I love her 🤩 One can work a remote office job from the village too.

I don't know why most people don't like village life I enjoy this kind of life away from chaos and waking up to peaceful life

I'm about to be inspired for the next one and half hours+. Must be niiiiice 😊. LNN to the world 🙌.

I love & admire Jael's village life.. It's awesome!!!!

This is so amazing. I loved the show. Thank you Jael for giving your story..so inspiring

I love your beautiful home @Jael, always looking forward to watching your channel.

I love the way she's comfortable, with everything, I am a fun of her, even sent her stories to my sister, l like your couches tell me where you bought them ❤😂

This is my first year in the village and it's like changing my mind of going back to the city. However, our stories and situations might be different....but i feel encouraged

Thank you Jael for motivating me,coz soon i will move back to the village and do my stuff there.Lynn be blessed for the good job you are doing.

I live in the USA. You have a genuine friend who told you the truth. I can't wait to get back home.

Love Jarl content I always look forward for her episodes and that’s the life I want

This is so encouraging, I am starting the farming idea in Kabondo Village.

Truly, truly inspired and challenged by Jael's story. I'm definitely going to keep my eye on her. Wishing her all the very best. Lynn keep up the great work and with your team, barikiweni sana.

This video has truly inspired me..I really enjoyed how she said it all..Thank you Lynn and Jael

So inspiring. I am glad I watched to the part where she said people abroad are trapped. Yet I've been very confused about immigration. Green card applications are open now I was going to apply this weekend. But that's how I am dropping that like Jael. We will make it here in Kenya.

I love farming with a passion. I admire her splendid job

I love the simplicity and passion in her. Many should learn about her
