    I’m a South African and I stay in the US , in 2020 I told my sister to help to find a land in the village, she was like ? I said yes I don’t wanna be in jo’burg at all . I’m done with big cities in America and I want to retire in the village . My house is under construction as we speak , it is not easy to build remotely but ! Lots of challenges but it will get done . Most of my family members are laughing at me for choosing the village life ,but they don’t know that one day they will admire me . Thanks you sis for courage and encouraging people like myself

      True. It's because we Africans think western style is the best. And yet people in the West admire our organic peaceful village life more than their city life. Most of them are now trying to move out of the cities but its difficult to find land in most western countries

    My grandfather is in his mid to late 90s, and is still so mobile you’d be shocked, walks 2 miles everyday. I asked him how he made it to his age, he said he grew up on a farm in Haiti. They ate healthy food he loved God and he didn’t stress. He said stress is thing that will steal your life, he said the hustle and bustle that the ppl in US endure everyday was not his reality. Also everyone stopped working at a certain time so work-life balance was real. I’m born and raised in Bklyn, NY but I’m an island girl at heart and I feel so drawn to this peace.

I am Jamaican living in the UK for the past 26yrs , I was born there and do my best to visit as often as I can. Jamaica is not a easy place to live, it has one of the highest murder rate in the world, petty crime is rampant, the road/transportation is non existent(except for the new highway built by the chinses) My advise for what its worth is to rent a place in Jamaica for a year and if you haven't changed your mind then go ahead. Best wishes.

      Well, I grew up in a village. It wasn't pretty like this one. We had an eyeful of poverty. After that came the want of food and clothes, lack of education and upward mobility (especially for women). In winter everything was grey, sky, roads, buildings, people. Consequently, the city has always looked pretty good to me.

      Most people do not realize especially in the west that the food is contaminated with hybrid DNA. They are seeking to vacate large populations and the cities are the quickest places to do it. Organic, home-grown, non-contaminated food will be a luxury when it’s too late. Everyone that is busting a move like this lady is, is doing themselves and their family a favor. Eventually the system will catch up with everybody so make sure above all, you have surrendered and given your life to Yahshuah and be led by His Holy Spirit. He will never leave you nor forsake you!

    Jael, your homestead is so beautiful and verdant! My husband and I are from the southwest USA. 10 years ago we moved from the city to the high desert countryside. It is a very harsh environment, dry and cold in the winter, very hot and windy in the spring. This year our summer rains are almost none. I did not manage to store any water for the remainder of the year, so we will rely on well water until next summer. But all God's creation has a beauty all its own. I love the big wide open skies, the sunsets and the high mountains.

I noticed the subscribers numbers were in the 5 thousands, I love finding gem channels like this with not as much subscribers because I noticed that most of the content creators with higher subscribers lose their authentic self so-to-speak and the content feels forced. Not all, just some. I know that growth in subscription is vital and very well encouraged, nothing wrong with that.

    I appreciate your video. I'm Black American and I grew up in a big city. As I age, I long to live a Village lifestyle. In my opinion, Africa represents thousands of years of people knowing how to grow their own food, sew clothing, knew of herbs and foods that treat sickness and build shelters to survive. Today that same knowledge is passed down in families. The younger generations of Black Americans almost lost all human survival skills. They are completely dependent on and at the mercy of the system.

    Your video came up in my algorithm & I instantly subscribed!! I'm in the US & from what's considered the country; same meaning as village. I absolutely love it. Lived in major cities all my life, but it just isn't the same. Your video reminded me of exactly why! So peaceful, fresh air, I enjoy the livestock, sitting on the porch w/ my morning coffee. And you just can't beat the stars at night. Thank you for sharing with us & God bless!

    I was raised in a village which was very similar. My country has progressed now to a mostly urban life style which has its disadvantages compared to the simple village life. Love your lush garden and the fertile soil. The pumpkins and bananas are lovely! I still air dry my clothes like you do. With our abundance of sunshine and wind there is really no need to further burden the fragile environment by using a dryer. Really admire your simple and peaceful life in the village. I long for this peaceful and laid back life again! May God continue to bless you with His abundance of grace and peace.
