I can hardly hear you because of the loud music
Hey babe. I triple checked the sound and the music is low. I’m not sure what’s happening for you but hopefully it can resolve. Thank you for letting me know ❤️
@@thekierasheniceexperience no problem. Most of your videos your audio is low and your music is louder. 😢
@@thaliakhi9398 oh noooo. Thank y’all for telling me. I always check so I’m not sure what happens between me listening and posting. But I really appreciate the feedback ❤️❤️
@martin cvetkov it most certainly is. I’m NOT tech savvy at all 😂😂
Music is so loud… missed much content I don’t think you need rock n roll music with a vlog
Hey Kiera, me again! At 11:01 in the video I really felt like you were talking to me! I could barely sleep last night just thinking " do I really want to do this? Should I go?" THANK YOU! You are doing ppl like me a huge favor with these videos being so open and honest! I truly appreciate it.
Hey girl hey!!! I'm so glad you made the decision to come. It is definitely worth the experience. Thank you for taking the time out to watch and for your positive feedback. I really appreciate you!
Well articulated and informative video, Work on the level of the background music then we'll be good. 👍🏼
Awww thank you so much. Yeah idk what’s up with the music. I’m sooo disappointed ☹️ I listened to it several times before posting it and it was fine. I promise y’all the background music is low 😩
It was slightly distracting.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop🤩
Awww thank you for watching 🥰🥰❤️❤️
Love the video so informative ❤
Thank you 😊 I’m glad you found it helpful ❤❤❤
Thanks for the update Kiera
💖💖💖
Thank you for your comprehensive video letting us know how inviting & wonderful Kuwait is.❤❤❤
I may be moving there soon.
You're welcome. Its definitely worth a shot. Worst case scenario, you can always go home.
I am so proud of you 👏
Thank you so much. I appreciate that 🥰
Hey Kiera, great video ☺🥰 and being here since Aug 2023, I totally agree with both your pros & cons 😅🤣
Hey love. Thank you. And yeah it’s pretty nice here overall 💖 I hope you’re enjoying yourself ☺️
Nice video Kiera, I can't wait to land in Kuwait. See you soon
Awesome. Safe travels and I hope you enjoy it here 💛💛
Thank you so much for the update, appreciated💕. Tip : don't add music in the future, or should be low or soft music
Heyyy. Thank you. I promise the background music is only on volume 3 and my talking is at 100 😩 idk what happens when I post them because I can always here it and I listen to it several times before posting. But you’re right. Maybe I just need to not add it until I figure out the problem 😅
Hello and welcome to Kuwait
Awww thank you so much. And I appreciate the information 💕
@@thekierasheniceexperience your welcome , you can check Dr Zakir Naik on youtube , hes one of the greatest scholars of Islam he memorize all versions of the bible.. thousands have reverted with him.. best of luck in your life and beyond
@@zaji7 thank you 😊 I
As an American there’s a lot of Americans Muslim scholars you can look into for further discussion and information on Islam. You probably will be able to relate to them better. Sheikh Yasir Qadi, Hamza Yusuf, Omar Suleiman, Tahir Wyatt. Too many to name!
@@TheHouseofcoolstuff thank you so much ☺️
Me and one of my friends go to Avenues every other week just to eat. 😂 I wanna vlog it too! We should definitely meet up.
I HATE the Avenues lol. It’s TOO much mall for me 😵💫 but yes we can definitely arrange a time to meet up 🥰
Hi, thanks for the cool videos and information!
I'm sure you've answered this a lot but you teach English i presume?
If yes could you recommend a specific certification one could take to be eligible to reach in Kuwait?
Heyyyy. I actually teach all elementary level core subjects (math, language arts, social studies, and science) You can try taking a TEFL or TESOL course :)
I wish the music was paused for the prayer you did just as you paused the music for the prayer they did.
The music volume in this video was really bad. It was an editing issue that didn't arise until the video was posted. But hopefully in upcoming videos this won't be an issue :) Thanks for watching!
Very similar, nearly identical experience of teaching in the UAE. I too am from the USA and I teach right outside of Dubai. I don't plan on returning after this year, this is my 3rd year and Kuwait has been suggested to me by colleagues. I'm still leaning towards going back to the USA but I'm leaving to door partially open for now. Reason for me leaving is.....well let's talk about that offline. Thanks for the video.
Hey, I'm planning on heading to kuwait soon. Can you share your experience?
Thank you for your comment. That's pretty interesting. Everyone has their own experience tho. I am grateful that mine has been pretty pleasant thus far. I'm sorry to hear that your experience in Dubai hasn't been that great and I pray things work out for you in the future!
Hey love. So far Kuwait has been pretty good to me. For the most part the people here are kind but you do have some that have the sense of entitlement. It is a dry country so there is no legal alcohol here and there are no bars and clubs. But there are other things to do and events are always being held. Overall it is very safe and as long as you come with a positive mindset then you should be good.
@@thekierasheniceexperience ok yeah I don't really drink so if I was to come to Kuwait, I would be ok on alcohol. One of my current colleagues that worked there is telling me not to go.....he says it is very boring.
@@miguelalexander80 it’s not boring. You just have to put yourself out there and be willing to try new things.
Are you able to drive there with your home country licence?
Hi Kiera thank you for this, please I have this offer coming to Kuwait ti be masseur but I prefer teaching, what can you advice me?
hey, thanks for this video. I was wondering how you got the teaching contract. What is a day in the life of your job.
Hey love. I actually applied directly to the school. I was contacted by schools from other recruiting sites such as TeachAway and Edvectus but I had already signed this contract.
I am working on a DITL video as a teacher here but I will share it with you all soon ☺️
Great thanks for the reply. If come that way I will be in touch.
@@KrisSymmetry sounds good. Take care 🩷🩷
"...or whatever" can be on your merch in the future 😜
😂😂😂 I do say it a lot right 🥴
In terms of safety for black people in America don’t forget to mention the police brutality and gun violence and school shooting and all the crazy things that happen in America. As a Brits who lives in America it always shocks me when people say how can you move to the Middle East is it dangerous 🤦🏾♀️ I can go to a grocery store or a mall without first finding where the nearest exit is incase there’s a crazy person with a gun. Thank you for pointing out the safety aspect of living in the midd east.
You are certainly right 💕
Exactly ! Middle east is safer than the west
Good info Keira but that music in the background is really in competition with what you are communicating
Thanks love, I'll be reposting the video soon.
Hello, Kiera: I pray you are well. I am moving to Kuwait this August and I appreciate your videos. They are very informative. I would love to talk with you about your experiences. Please let me k ow of that is a possibility. If not, I just want to say thank you and I pray you are well and blessed.
Hey love. I’m am doing well and I hope you are also. And of course. You can message me on IG. My handle is sincerely_kiera 💚
Very informative thanks.... kindly play the music softly next time
Thank you and will do :)
I love the video;❤ the music is too loud and competes with hearing your message.😢
Where in kuwait is it recommended to live
Great video, background music makes it hard to understand/hear what you’re saying.
Please I would love to come and reside and work in Kuwait is there any way you can help me.I am currently in Abu Dhabi UAE
Hey love. Try applying via TeachAway or directly to your school or schools of choice. Make sure your resume is up to date and also that you have valid references ☺️
Hi kiera did you manage to go t murouj
Heyyy. No I don’t even no where that’s at lol 😂
It’s the prayer for me….. That’s something I would love to know, how you increase, maintain your faith in a Muslim culture.
Aww thank you. I make it a point to spend time with God daily. I wake up and do praise and worship before work and then before I go to bed I read my Bible and talk with God and pray. Christianity is allowed in kuwait and in fact there are a few Christian churches here that are open legally. The thing is, you can’t try to change others religion here or talk badly about their religion. But other than that you are free to whatever religion you choose to my knowledge. I even have some students who are Christians in my class. I think if you desire to be closer to God, you can do so wherever you are in the world 💛
But it's IMPORTANT TO STUDY ISLAM!!! ESPECIALLY, AS A WOMEN 😠
☪️Jami` at-Tirmidhi 338
Abu Dharr said that :
Allah's Messenger said: "When a man performs Salat, and there is nothing in front of him like the post of a saddle, or a camel saddle, then his Salat is severed by (passing of) a black dog, a woman, and a donkey." It was said to Abu Dharr: "What is the problem with the black dog rather than the red or white one?" He said: "O my nephew! I asked Allah's Messenger just as you have asked me. He said: 'The black dog is a Shaitan (devil).
Hello, Kiera. I am moving to Kuwait in August. Can I chat with you about your experiences?
Hey love. I just shared my IG with you on the other comment but just in case it’s sincerely_kiera 😊
The music is so loud it’s hard to hear you for real. 😅
Sorry 😢
Can you please about jobs there, is it possible for a person with no experience to find a job; if of course they have the skills and requirements the hiring managers need ?
Hey love. This is really a broad question that I can't answer. The best advice I can give is to do your research on the job you're trying to apply for and see what their minimum qualifications are and go from there. Best of luck to you :)
Next time tune the music down. But I will be moving there in Jan.
Thank you. Will do. And that’s awesome 💕
How you doing Renabarebyou loving kuwait ?
Your music was kinda to loud and it was kinda hard to hear you..🇺🇸
Yeah, sorry about that.
Hello Kiera! I have been looking for a job in Kuwait for some time, but no luck. Do you mind letting me know how you applied for your job? Thanks!
Hey love. I applied via Teach Away and also applied directly to schools website. Just make sure your resume is up to date ☺️
@@thekierasheniceexperience Thank you!!!
Am base in Kuwait as well, I enjoyed living in Kuwait
That's awesome. I'm glad you are enjoying your experience.
How did you go about moving your things to Kuwait
Hey love. I came with 3 suitcases. I packed the essentials (toiletries, work clothes, and other small items I couldn’t live without) and basically that was it. My flight included a carry-on and 2 checked bags so I didn’t have to pay for luggage just overages since one was overweight. I also had a box or 2 shipped to one of my friends who was already here. But there are tons of shopping companies that you can use to get your stuff here. And also, you can find the majority of the things you use on a day to day basis here so there’s really no need to overpack per say.
@@thekierasheniceexperience thank you i have been there twice already moving back husband already there i was looking for moving companies to send a few things since my husband and i will be living there for awhile. Thank you
@@LocsNmore oh nice! Well I hope you have a safe journey back 🤍🤍
@@LocsNmore try using ship all for your shipping needs. They’ve been recommended by quite a few people. Also, if you haven’t already, join The Brothas and Sistas of Kuwait group on FB. They have tons of people in there with a lot of knowledge 😊
The music was pretty loud in the video, it made listening to what you were saying a little difficult
Yeah I’m not sure what happened during the editing process 😵💫
Hi were you recruited through an agency?
Hey love. No. I used an agency at first but I got recruited when I applied directly to the school myself.
Do I need vaccination certificate to work in kuwait?
Hey love. The rules for entry are constantly changing in Kuwait so I would recommend you to check with the Ministry of Health so that way you can get accurate information. The last time I checked, yes it was required.
Still trying to figure out things only been here a week 😢
Well I hope you are having a decent experience
Hiii Kiera I am a new subscriber I just found your page, can you kindly be my mentor I would like to teach English in Kuwait. How can I contact you for your assistance
Hello…
You could reach me on IG to discuss further. Sincerely_kiera
Hey how can someone get a job over there?
Am a finance graduate, how can I apply for jobs over there
Hey love 💕 sorry I’m just now seeing this. You can try applying to Teach Away or directly to your school of choice. Make sure your resume is up to date and you have valid references as well.
@@thekierasheniceexperience hello Shenice! Thank you for your kind reply. I will work on that & no worries on late reply, I totally understand. Good luck cheer's
@@IANFO.-TREKS thank you so much and best of luck to you in your endeavors 🥰
I couldn't hear your voice because of the loud music try to lower the music next time to balance it with your voice
Thanks. Will do 🥰
After coming to Kuwait as driver can my wife join me.?
Hello. I’m not sure how the visa works for drivers. However. Typically a male can sponsor his wife and children. You should double check with the Kuwait embassy to be sure
@@thekierasheniceexperience thank you for the information
Is it possible to convert tourist visa to work visa in Kuwait.?
Music too loud
Yeah, I'm aware but unfortunately I couldn't fix it without losing the whole video..
I love everything you had to say.. but honestly I think it would be even Better without the background music. It’s Distracting and you’re fairly soft spoken so it’s hard to hear without it being on full blast..
Yeah it was an editing error so my apologies. But thank you 😊
@@thekierasheniceexperience Don’t apologize.. You did a Wonderful job and I Love and Appreciate Your content. You have a Beautiful soft spoken voice and the music made it a bit hard to hear is all. Keep up the Amazing work ❤️❤️
@@cancerwarrior9819 aww thank you I really appreciate that 🥰🥰
❤
:)
What about Christian Churches? Are there any out there?
There is seven churches ma’am. Coptic, Protestant, Roman Catholic, Greek Catholic, Armenian orthodox, Greek Orthodox, Anglican. Hope that helps
Background music 😑
I’m sorryyyyy 😩😩 it was fine when I listened to it before posting 😩
Does home country teaching experience matters? Or fresh graduate welcome in Kuwait for teaching?
and Which months teacher can apply for teaching jobs in Kuwait?
Can I find teaching jobs on visit visa?
Hey love. Home country experience does matter in some cases. For example, some schools want native English speaking teachers and will typically hire candidates from the US or UK. BUT there are plenty that don't care. A lot of schools will hire fresh graduates and they actually welcome them here. Because it's international, there is a high turnover rate so schools are constantly hiring. So you can apply year round.
The music is drowning you out. Bummer because I really wanted to hear your entire video😢
I think I'm going to re-record this one and repost. Thanks for the feedback tho :)
Just like what the other commenter had said i can barely hear you over the music
Thanks for the feedback. I will be reposting this video soon :)
Why the music while you're speaking???? Can't hear you and it's distracting. I'm out
It was an editing issue. I’m a human being and make mistakes and clearly a mistake was made while editing. No need for the negativity. I’ve always said I am NOT tech savvy 🤷🏽♀️
How much can I make in a month in Kuwait
That’s a very general question. If you’re asking in regards to teaching, the starting salary usually ranges from 750KD-1100KD. It depends on the school and your experience. And please know that this is a normal range and schools can offer higher or lower salaries.
Omg the music in tue background is so annoying please just a tip for you… you better upload videos without the music it would be so much easier to watch and listen to you. I was curious about hearing pros and cons of living in Kuwait but the music is definitely annoying me too much :(
Thanks for the feedback
❤️ Ktown!
Yes indeed ..Its easy to gain weight in Kuwait!!! 😂.
😂😂😂 it is lol. Talabat is a blessing and a curse lol
Are you teaching english?.
Hey love. I teach grade 4 and all subjects.
what's the salary of professor in Kuwait?
Ur background music is soo loud and annoying
I'm sure you've read the comments...it was an editing issue. I'm a human being just like you and I made a mistake.
You are cute 😊
Thank you :)
Yea dry country
No fun here 😒
😂😂😂 just go on a weekend trip to Dubai, Bahrain, or Qatar. It’s all good 💖
@@thekierasheniceexperience
Ticket is expensive
I want some one here in Kuwait to be taking me out and taking pictures of me😂😂😂
Am I listening to you or the music? Please no more of that awful noise. Ant watch the whole video
Hello. I’m sure you’ve seen/read the comments. It was an editing error. I think y’all tend to forget that CZcamsrs are just mere human beings. We make mistakes too. If you don’t like the video, simple don’t watch 🤷🏽♀️
@@thekierasheniceexperience As I stated I didn't watch the whole video as the music is disturbing.
Turn the damn background music down
Literally no need to be rude. It was an editing error 🤷🏽♀️
