- When Jael took an early retirement from her job at 36, she was clear about one thing, the village would be her new home. So she packed everything , left the city and settled in Kabondo, a beautiful village in Nyanza.
On this episode of LNS, she walks us through her life in the village , the beauty , challenges and why she will never return to the city

Hallo Lynn
I love, love, love this video. My two favourite CZcamsrs doing what I believe in.
Lynn thank you for everything you do.You have no idea how we in the diaspora appreciate your work.Kuja Canada we will be happy to host you
This was a blast, Lynn. Good job, my girl. Loved it to shreds!
That's good talk and I loved most of it.
But however Lynn, just saying, if we start building malls, real estate in villages, wouldn't that be turning them into cities, of which we are running away from in the first place?! Perhaps we should just keep the authenticity of our villages preserve the original lifestyle. Otherwise, we won't have villages anymore!
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.
Welcome home,and hugs❤
Welcome back home indeed. 🇿🇲 no place like home
You have made the best decision
I have come to realize that the image of the West sold to us was a facade.
This is it,my canadian friends retired still struggle to pay property tax-this is one of the reasons I won’t buy property in Canada-Kenya has been calling since 2020 and I am now ready to pack and leave
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.
This is the best life ever.
My dear she is in a better place for now and the future the city is unhealthy
Very blessed
My dream and prayer,,,,,I am inspired lynn
Inspiring. The countryside is the place to be. Thank you Lynn for fishing her out.
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.
The quality of life Jael is living is unmatched… this is inspiring
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
Hi.
Iam Lillian based a Ugandan based in Botswana. I would really love to visit that scenic place
@@lilianoluka7690 Hello,how's Botswana?
Hello Byaruhanga. I love what you do. Kindly share your email and we link up.
Wow this is an inspiration 👏
That's me and my family, we leaving end of this December. To go have a stress less life!
Kenyan women are beautiful no makeup and glowing
I live in Australia,been here 19 years now n can’t wait to go back home😊. This lady is living my dream. ❤
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 !!!! 😊😊
Ala! Kumbe kuna watu wa home huku
Haiya thats my shagz too. Kumbe tuko wengi hivo
@@kameli113yeh… hapo tu opposite nunguni market ! Kwa Yulu ..
@@olyviamwinzi7692yes that’s my home my first 15 years of life. .. but left 23 years ago to vienna !
Wow!
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.
Colonialism has messed up our minds and perspective on true living. The social conditioning is so deep many of us don't see 🤦♀️
As a Single Mom of 2 I tap into this Blessings🙏🏼❤
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 😂
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
I just love staying in the village I am retiring in two years I have build my retirement house in the village
I am beginning to think twice about leaving kenya for US after listening to that last part of the conversation
This interview has been on my mind, months later. It plainly speaks about the promise of regions & places but it takes a special set of eyes to _really_ catch & internalize that
She's turned a village into runda!!! Kudos to her. Makes me inspired to go back to my village.
This lady is carrying my dream.Exactly what I have been meditating on
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👏🏾👏🏾
True that ❤
I live in Karen and l feel like it's a mix of village and town life... reason,our place is Soo big so we do farming,we have cows, chicken,eat our own vegetables,corn...name it. I rarely go to town(Nairobi). Village life is beautiful 👍
I have been saying the same.I reside in one of those places.But working add to do a replica of the same, if not better and relocate for good.
@@alicehappiness509But it us becoming very expensive in places like Karen.Not with the immense property taxes being rolled out into the future.
We see the ORPHANAGES IN KENYA AND UGANDA JEEEEEEZ
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 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.
Thank you so much, Lynn, for the visit. You are such an amazing soul and it was so wholesome to have you here.
It's nice to watch you on LNN Jael. You are an inspiration to us all.
Go Jael go
@Jael I just discovered your channel. Love love the content and the consistency ❤
Our girl Jael,you are an inspiration to many,Be blessed always....
Am one of your subscribers and tiz a great joy to watch you on this platform.
Watching this from a small village in Kwale county opportunities are hidden deep in the village...truth
She is living better than some of us in the city 😢,
than most of us!
100% true
She’s ahead of her time! Kudos to her 👏🏾👏🏾
“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.
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.
I love this lady. She is authentic and honest. This is the type of a woman i compart with. We share the same dreams.
Me too USA retire in the Village in Zim.
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.
She was my school mum,I follow her and will soon live in the village thanks to her inspiration.❤❤
This is my little sister from another mother, osiepa nyar kabondo. So proud of her and always watch her vloggs.
Very inspiring mamma ❤❤
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
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.❤
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.
May God bless them
I worked in sales for 3 years but quit.. The pressure was something else... 2 yrs doing remote IT stuff now... And happy 😊
Wow can tell me more about IT think
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.
Be fearless and courageous..go to land of your ancestors
Believe God and pray against that witchcraft. When you have faith, you'll overcome. Read your bible and pray
Jael I wish people in Africa would stop believing that life in north America is better than what they are leaving behind. Not so. American are leaving on the streets can't keep a roof over there heads. Stay in your country in your village. Find something to do
Jael, your friend Lynn in the States told you the absolute truth in black and white. As a Kenyan living in diaspora, I have come to learn that opportunities and "strong economies" don't equal to good quality of life. When you get to understand how the Western economies run you discern the fact that you are the donor, funding the economy. It never ends, never stops, you work like a slave over and over again, the cycle continues year in year out. Meanwhile, for various reasons, you're scared of returning home.
Kazi kazi nothing else in western world.
well said

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.
Welcome to Kenya!
Karibu Kenya
uyoba li Kwerekwere nawe for a visit.
Karibu Kenya
@@sehlilesifisoncubencube I hope this is a positive comment, Kenyans are very welcoming, we don't call anyone makwerekwere❤
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❤
You have made me giggle when you we're talking about witchcraft and you said people kuloga🤣 am Ugandan and people can Kuloga, but we have to believe that God is our protecter 🙏🏿 thank you Lynn, I follow you too ❤✌🏾
I am a subscriber of Jael. Hiyo Manisha imeshinda hata ya London. I think Lynn can testify to that. Love her effort.
Imeshinda hata ya Canada my dear
Imenishinda hapa London pia... I long for village life.
I live in Berlin my people mbio za kutafuta pesa. City Life ist exhausting
I am an American and I moved to the country/rural community in 2020. I never looked back! Jael is correct about living this type of life.
@@pattyray328I am in Doha,I going straight back to the village after here
This is exactly what i have been telling my family and friends, hopefully i will have this in feature.
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 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!❤
She has really inspired me even more, after living abroad for so long, village life has been beckoning to me for years now and looking forward to make it come true soon.
I am a Zimbabwean, a subscriber of Jael, she is my girl. She is a motivator and a special sister.
Jael is really a vibe enjoying every hunk of life and quality time. this is what gives meaning to clean content...
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
Search income first
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.
Well said, I couldn't agree more but the advice is for everybody for everywhere.
I live in the USA. You have a genuine friend who told you the truth. I can't wait to get back home.
She is living my dream, planning to retire at 45 and I'm inspired
I live in Apartment here in Europe, contemplated buying a house because i miss seating out in garden enjoying the fresh air,its work home and when im free its cleaning,shopping, no time to enjoy the nature.Jael you are living my dream,im praying for this haki
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 ❤
Hi...me too I retired by force coz I got sick...was forced to stop working...am now loving it..
Am happy and energetic
I also did the same this month,and i feel comfortable
CONGREATULATION GO OUT TOO U BEAUTIFUL NUBIAN QUEENS AKWAABA EMPRESS KEEP ON KEEPING ON NUFF RESPECT BIG UP URSELVES 1LUV KNOW THYSELVE
BERMUDA ♥️ WATCHING ASANTE 😅😮😢🎉😂❤
Lynn, that's so true. There is no life in diaspora I regret every single day for having wasted my life and time. I cry every day here in diaspora it is just bills and bills to pay depression rejection n stagnation. I just wanna die. I have lost hope
There was a time when we hated village life. The trend was to go to cities but now, many Africans or blacks are realising that going back to transform our villages is the way to go. There’s good food & fresh air in the villages although health care is limited. Thanks for the video
I am in the Diaspora and I have been watching Jael for a while now, what she is saying is true - most people like a peaceful life like the one you have in the Village.
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:)
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 😍
Am living in the US and very soon am relocating to Oyugis. I always stay for 6month in the village, every time I visit Kenya.
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.
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
Hi 👋 from Namibia 🇳🇦 You are living my dream ! I'm planning to retire end of next year 2024 at the age of 47 to back to the village! I love Jael 's channel and I'm very inspired ❤❤Thank you 😊
welcome to uor country. eastwards we love all our neighbors, southwards we love namibia, botswana, SA, zambia, malawi, zim, mozambique and all others. westwards, we love ghana, ivory coast, cameroon, senegal and gambia. sorry nigerians but it is what it is.
I just discovered her channel yesterday and today she's on LNN😊 Village life is the way to go
She is incredible ❤❤
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.
Wow here is my Jael much love from Tanzania❤❤❤🇹🇿🇹🇿
Lynn, so we were cleaning and arranging those seats for you 😅.
Good job Lynn❤
I really love your CZcams channel Jael. I recently moved to the village with my small family and life in the village is never boring as people think.
I live in 🇬🇧 and I admire Jael village life. I cannot wait to be a village dweller as well.
Me too. Soon. The village girl in me calling so loud ❤️
Me too 😊
Jael you are such an inspiration, am on my way to the village.
Seems us londoners are tired of energy and council tax bills. I want to move back to the village and live a simple life.. No winter, no letter box etc.. No road penalties sijui ulez, etc........................ 😅
Me too😊
There is peace in connecting with nature. We are Africans, and our blood will never be at ease until we really reconnect with the earth. Big cities and chasing money will never bring peace. Just comfort.
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 want to send a voice note,i have a lot to say ...i have been inspired and this is exactly the kind of life i want.. village life have lot of peace... the calmness, eating fresh food 🥰🥰 it's just amazing.. lots of advantages
Kindly interview malika kenya she is realy doing great things in her village❤ 11:57 12:00
Oh yes, I support this 💯
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 come from Kasipul Kabondo. When I bumped into her channel, I knew that she was from my place. When growing up potato farming was a major thing in Kabondo but many people have shied away from the same. Many millennials have moved to the "big city" and abandoned our ways. Thank you, Lynn, for featuring her on your platform. You are restoring faith in farming.
is it in siaya ka-Baba?
From kabondo as well 😊

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 ❤😂
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
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
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 🙏🏾
Congratulations Jael. I always love to watch your videos as soon as I get a notification. Very inspiring and informative videos 😊
"We should allow each to grow" that was powerful
This all i wanted to hear, im in gulf and really invested in piece of land i bought, now going back home soon ,i was worrying i will cope in village but through this vedeo ,yes i wll❤
We are in the same boat ❤
Why would someone think she is suffering in the village? She is doing awesome.
Love this channel for inspiring and having a mindset shift for me. Relearning how to live life!
I moved to the village in 2021 for tranquility, I have had a blast...I home school my children, we are between 2 big towns Kisumu and Kakamega, so we go out on Sundays for a little bit of city confusions in Kisumu.
I miss zero of the city... what is in the City by the way?
Oh wow. Lovely seeing Jael being interviewed by Lynn. Absolutely beautiful.
This is so amazing. I loved the show.
Thank you Jael for giving your story..so inspiring
Lyn you’re amazing and you’re work is a blessing to many of us inspiring ❤ from USA Texas
Thanks Lynn for sharing this wa siku hizi wanataka kukaa Nairobi I love farming soon Lynn atakua ana share story yangu stay tuned 😅
I am watching your video from the US and what her friend told her is so true. The quality of life here is horrible. You work, pay bills and die. I enjoy watching Jeal because in my eyes I am living my dream life through her Chanel and I’m not even from Africa. You both seem like such beautiful souls. Be well.
Lynn, that idea you said you have, will be a good one. It actually pays off living in the village, and in the suburbs. The financial savings, and cost of living is tremendously a bonus. Imagine, living in the village and still making good money without paying any bills. Surplus money to invest on, and live a better life without sweating financially.
Really considering it❤❤
I follow this girl like my life depends on her content
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.
What a beautiful contribution.
Mimi am coming back from usa after ten years!
@@Njitagwo_Shiro how has your experience been. Do you regret it ? What are the benefits and shortcomings of immigrating there
@@Njitagwo_Shiro I relocated also after 25 years in USA. There are things you should organize before you come.
@@nguta.diaries I also relocated back home to Kenya after 25 years in USA. I'm here and loving it soon relocating to village like Jael.
You are living the life. This is the envy of many people trapped in the diaspora. Great show am inspired by the beautiful environment.
That was a great show! Am really inspired. Keep bringing more of these Lynn. God bless you.
Well done Lynn. Great interview. Enjoyed watching it.
Good to see Jael,her videos are always therapeutic 🥰
This is my prayer ,to return to Kenya,in the village, your story is very inspiring Jael❤
Thank you Lynn and co. For bring us more of Jael. I am encouraged.❤
This video has truly inspired me..I really enjoyed how she said it all..Thank you Lynn and Jael
I just discovered her channel and watched most of her videos. She’s doing a good job.
I'm a Jael of the Village subscriber watching from the US. This is the dream life right here❤
Awesome. Her vlogs are so therapeutic. Great inspiration 😊
