Living abroad always comes with a lot of challenging experiences as well as learnings, and this video collects the main things I have learned to appreciate about Kenya. I will tell what I have learned after living in Kenya for 9 months. All the things mentioned are based on my own experiences as well as lean on what Kenyans themselves have told me about their society.

I also have a full playlist of videos about my life in Kenya which you'll find on my channel page :)
Kenyans are welcoming thou not perfect but I have lived in foreign land where I was treated badly, yet I was financial okey, due to my beautiful and special black colour. I love being black and very proud of it
Africans are chilled and welcoming but they won't get the same treatment when they visit Finland
I’m sure you’ll will find both welcoming people and then people who are less so almost anywhere. Maybe you wanna check out the positive experience of this African creator in Finland: instagram.com/reel/CqYxogGj73X/?igshid=ZjE2NGZiNDQ=
Time for Africans to move on
Believe me I never traveled to EU and I never will. The hate for the Kenyan in non African countries needs to of concern.
We should try be mean on them. Possibly make it very expensive for non African to even spend 1month here
@@mlionea we need to empower our people and institutions that benefit us not revenge
@@kalunda5560 by letting them roam freely in Kenya, we empower them. We should not do this. We should do our best by sealing all holes that allow them earn even a dollar while in Kenya
Rain is considered a blessing because blessing a large percentage of Kenyans are farmers and they depend on rain to grow food. Everyone suffers when there is no rains because food is expensive so they don't mind the inconvenience it brings and are thankful for it.
no one regrets coming Kenya 🇰🇪 welcome
Thanks for spreading the love for Kenya. Come back for more experience. The positive feedback is just encouraging.
Hey you are one of the few people who choose to see positive side of our country thanks
Your review is accurate,shows u really learnt something in Kenya
Kenyans are loving people ❤️❤️❤️
You experienced the African Spirit, the Spirit of Ubuntu. It's woven into our DNA
1. Earn your living
2. Children are a blessing
3. Rain is a blessing
4. Community is wealth
5. Challenges are essential for growth
6. Comfort is the enemy of progress
7. Do no harm
8. Respect is earned (we respect Nigerians)
9. Own up to your shortcomings (we have bad habits amongst us)
10. Revere the great mother, the guardian of the masculine (we embrace the feminine)
And so own and so forth
Wow, great summary! Thanks for your comment. And thanks for mentioning Ubuntu, I’ll look it up as I only know about Linux Ubuntu, an open source operating system developed in Finland 😂
@@ainoluo most welcome. 🤭😂 search for African Ubuntu. I know about the software Ubuntu and I didn't even realize it's developed in Finland 👏🏼💯🎯.
@@watchman1thewaycher169 chill out! You sound hateful, especially to white people, why?
@@ainoluo your openess to learn and your honesty is one to imitate.
We as kenyans are glad that you enjoyed your stay and even found love here. You are now a kenyan,and we look forward to seeing you around again.
@@watchman1thewaycher169 😂😂😂😂🙌🙌
@@watchman1thewaycher169 Things changed some times ago. We dont need to worship anybody . Seems like you are in yester yrs. Its a small world.

Kenya, I love my country. And I pray being warm to each other continues. What's so laudable is the fact that you dared to travel to Kenya.
Thanks for visiting and sharing your living abroad experience, I share on most of those experience.
Such an unbiased perspective💗
Great! This is authentic blessings mingi through your journey. Namaste 🙌
Many thanks for the positive attitude, for attitude is key! This is a marvelous feedback from a person of foreign extraction. Your views, based on local in situ interactions are authentic, and therefore, valuable to any Kenyan who would like a real and unflattering assessment from the outside.
Having personally been a foreigner in many European countries, including many places in Finland, I find your views on Kenyans quite interesting and instructive.
Wishing you all the best!
Thanks mama for this video i love it.
Always welcome back again and again ❤.
That's the beauty of visiting kenya you get to learn more... welcome back again with friends
Very wholesome view of Kenyans.For the time you spent, your opinions have real depth!
Good teachers ☺️
Your a blessing to us, now you a an ambassador, go spread the love❤❤❤
It's interesting to see what a place you call home means to other people from far away. A new found perspective.
some of the pointes are new even to me someone who lives in the neighboring Ethiopia and who has been to Kenya countless times. Thank you
You are a breath of fresh air...very positive...and an intelligent young woman...
You really have the true self of Kenyans, especially the rain part that's my family exactly
blessings...spread the love
We as kenyans are proud and greatfull you found a good experience living in our country and interacting with our peaple. Welcome back again
.
I am impressed with your cultural learning process. I dare say this is therapeutic and gives you an extended level of cultural and emotional intelligence to succeed in the current globalised world.
Absolutely! That process started for me long ago (perhaps I can talk more about my other international experience in another video) and there’s no going back once on that road :)
Domyou watch Virginia Rukenya
Welcome to Kenya once again 🇰🇪💪

Yasss love that! We’ve got to pay attention to the positives.

Interesting. I knew a fellow grad school student here in America, many years ago. You and her are the only Finns I've encountered in my life. Like you, she was very thoughtful. I hope she's doing well, wherever she is. Hope the same for you. Thanks for sharing.

Luo is a tribe name in Kenya, so you've got the Kenyan thing in you babygirl😊
Moi Aino. Kiitos. I like what you have said about Kenya.
Kiitos kommentista! ☺️
First you are beautiful ,secondly you have a nice voice and tone ,i can listen to you all day ,love from KENYA
Nice video ❤
I m Kenyan that has lived mosr of my life in the most northern part of Scandinavia since my early teens. I live so far up north that Finland (Kilpisjärvi) is south of here. Scandinavians are generally very reserved and not very open such that a nod is more than sufficient.
I really love the way you talk. Thank you for your appreciation! 🇰🇪❤️😊
Aww thank you for your comment ☺️🙏🏻 Thanks to Kenya for these lessons! 🇰🇪
We love you... you are our best.
You are welcome back to Kenya
Thank you, we love you, welcome again next time. I offer to give you free tour to the deep village and learn more .
nice video👏
You explained it so well
Asante sana 🙏🏻
@@ainoluodo you know about Jigger Victims
Gratitude resilience patience.... Waow
This is really deep analysis. ❤

Our close knit culture is not due to hardships. Its because we value family. Even the rich place emphasis on family
I've lived in Europe and was amazed at how family don't interact with each other.
Thanks for your take! I’ve seen close knit and distant families everywhere and in my eyes it often seemed to have more to do with how strong the family has built their mutual support - surely hardships also break a lot of families, anywhere in the world.
@ Agro- I agree. Sometimes I think however long they stay in a country they still miss the mark on what define societies. It's a general observation
To clarify, perhaps I should mention that with hardships I didn’t mean just poverty. There are so many other types of hardships that a family may go through and in those moments I feel the strength of the unit is tested. And I’ve seen families in every country I have been to either grow closer or become more distant in those moments. If anything is universal I think it’s family issues 😄
Yes we hustler alot ,we don't sleep ,I do online work but I do coffee farming do
Yess that’s what I’m talking about! But haha that’s literally a dream, online work + farming ☺️

Am happy...am a kenyan in Europa
Kenya is always amazing, Luo. Very friendly people. Welcome back again, and in case you need any assistance, you can count on this minister. God bless❤
@@watchman1thewaycher169 Who told you I don't love my fellow Africans? Where does this come from now? I'm showing my love and support for Luo just like any other Kenyan or any African brother or sister. You don't have any right to judge anyone based on your sinister perspectives. Even all this, God love you.
Wooow❤❤❤
❤❤❤

we love you too
Thank you so much for sharing your Kenyan experience 🇰🇪..👍🏽. Hope you followed our political enthusiasm, everyone in Kenya is a political expert .don't let that scare you it's our way of expressing Love 😂 alil Noisy.

As a Kenyan in the diaspora, I share with you my frustration with the low level of trust.
I think it remains the biggest challenge for me!
Karibu kenya❤

Hi Aino...how are you?
That is my home 😅.
When are coming back
In this type of videos, I'll always go through the comments looking for trolls and i always find them...Fortunately the Kenyan spirit and the people she is describing are definately not even be on the internet taking credit.
Do you watch Virginia Rukenya
There is aswahili saying that goes "Tenda wema nenda zako""
We don't wait for credits after doing good to someone, because if kindness is all about credits then that will be showoff ,and not kindness
We know our values and that's why we don't have to be active in the internet taking credits though.
Am happy that that luo herself recognised the kindness of the Kenyan people
Hello how are you
Thank you for your thoughts and experiences in Nairobi, they were on point! Looking forward to the things you didn't like the culture shock if you will.. On your next video, but remember to address your videos as Nairobi and not Kenya as a whole, because Nairobi is the Capital City and you can't even compare it to other Cities in Kenya, it's the MOST stressful City in Kenya! Try getting out of Nairobi and into other Cities and you'll see the difference! Next time you visit Kenya i suggest you visit Diani, and seeing your Name, Visit Kisumu City then let someone take you to any village in that County! Enjoy the huge difference!❤
@@watchman1thewaycher169 That is very true, hata waafrika wanaishi majuu refuse to get along. And I'm talking from experience!🤷🏿♀️

Where a u now?
Aino Luhya
Ahah do you think the Chinese named me wrong?
😂
@@ainoluo it's a very good name.
goddes of the river luo..
You are luo from obama community nyanza province
In short being a Kenyan European I would say we have no social welfare from government so in Kenya is life or die .....😅😅 U need to do something to provide for yourself
Yep, we need to build societies that enable us to live from a place of our higher self, not just survival mode.
Am Luo and we cherries your name: "I know Luo"
My name Aino means ”the only one” but I’m not gonna go claim to be the only Luo 😁 It’s fun that my Chinese name Luo became such a great conversation starter in Kenya!
@@ainoluo Did you visit Kisumu, Migori, Homa Bayy or Siaya
Might you have a sister lol asking for myself 🇰🇪
I’m sorry, I’m the only one 😂 My name Aino means ”the only one” usually given to the only daughter
This is magic Kenya, next time call me so you can come for dinner
😂😅
