My name is Jasmine and I have relocated from Sydney Australia to Ghana in west Africa as of the year 2020.
My parents are of Ghanaian descent and so am I although I was born in Australia. Here on my channel, my goal is to give you a real glimpse into what it’s like to live in Ghana and other parts of Africa, from the food, to the culture, to the lifestyle and everything in between. My goal is to satisfy your curiosity about Ghana and other African countries.
My prayer is that these videos do just that for several African’s in the diaspora.
Follow your bliss because life is short, follow your bliss because human life has no intrinsic value, follow your bliss because everything happens for the greater good and follow your bliss because it has all happened before.
I was so inspired by these two. I hope you guys enjoy this video 🥰🥰
My apologies about the clicking fan noises in back.

Please tell them to keep the animals in the cage for some months and then plant green grass on the compound, by 3 to 4 months later the grounds will be green so that these animals will eat the grass because the green grass is full nutritions and herbs for the animals
Thank you so much for everything. You did an amazing job.
I want to say thank you also it shows that if you want to; stop been in the race with the other rats you can do so but you know that if you are in a common unity you can achieve a lot more in the terms of building a shelter that you and yr families can have some where to rest yr head I did like been at the mercy of landlords/ paying rent
Hello I enjoyed your video from USA
Hi Ama i will like to invite u to visit Europalace pub in Kumasi one of the biggest pub in Ghana, The owner is also one of diaspora
This women has a God fearing heart of Love. A woman of wisdom. Patience and understanding. May the Lord God bless their home ❤
The fact of the matter even the highest richness attained in a adopted country cannot buy the Peace of Mind when settles down in his own Homeland even if it lacks basic facilities.This is the ultimate facts of Life.
Thank you madam for this words, “As a Blackman in a white mans world, you will never be the man that God wants you to be”
Kimberly is the proverbial proverbs 31 woman, through and through. She has inspired me
As a Nigerian living in the UK, I'm inspired with this video. It gives me a sence and idea of what to do when I move to my country. One lesson I learned here is why building upstair is not a good option. I agree with him when he talked about the difficulty involved in going upstair at old age. To him, it makes sense to build bungalow. Secondly, the beauty of cultivating fruits, vegetables and rearing of animals. I love the simple life they chose for themselves. I can't wait to replicate this lifestyle.
Wow!! she got a good husband, and he got a good wife❤🇬🇭🇺🇸
Agreed 🙏🏾🥰
Jamaicans 🇯🇲 say the same thing‘I’m coming’😂 you wait for hours before they come. We’re so much alike with the Ghanaian people. One love ❤️
Kimberley is beautiful inside out, I love her mannerism
She really is 🙏🏾💕
I would definitely deal with this couple if I was buying land they seem very trustworthy
Great video! I love this couple. They were pivotal in helping us find our apartment and preparing it for our arrival. We will be relocating in September!!!
It’s not advisable to share your location on here. You may never know the intent of whoever is asking. Please, I would advise you delete it m.
@@francisanokye5821 Thank you for that advise. I did delete it.
You're always elcome to the motherland
This woman is a blessing to have in one’s life. Very down to earth. Not many of her kind in this degraded generation especially in the USA.
She is from the past generation , she isn’t from this generation , so yes they are Bette women, and she has been with him for long ,
She has the man wrapped around her little finger. I feel sorry for him.
@@neeldani7450feel sorry for yourself. The mind you have is something else.
@@maameboa254 I bet you are a fulltime dom e nate ricks.
I pray I will have the boldness to make the move soon
If we did it, you can do it also
You are not alone ,I'm always afraid what will happen ,if I don't succeed.
What you speak is what comes to you .The moment you say I am moving and I will succeed it will definitely come to pass 🙏
Ameen I'm also praying for the same
It might not succeed straight away, but then so what? Every good thing takes time.
It's my second attempt. And am now living my best life in Koforidua. I went to the UK after 10 years away. Honestly, you couldn't pay me to live there again!
Am just really ok with living simply.
I source water from my well or rain, I use firewood to cook, I buy second hand clothes, I owe a small house, I have no debt.
My sister and I run a small preschool, only three classrooms.
I only travel abroad because of my kids.
Please note though, Ghana is far from perfect, there are challenges everywhere. But if you don't try, you will never know. Good Luck
Stay Blessed 🙏
What a great couple. Open hearted yet wise. 🙏🏾
Mary Mtonga watching from Zambia 😊 Kimberly you are a great woman. This is really God given wife to you Mr Mensa. May God bless you. What a wonderful couple.
Amazing! So happy to see Kimberly living out her dream. You have been wanting this for so long. Congratulations Kimberly and Maxwell. You did it! Blessings!
I appreciate the way he has been able to organise with his neighbours to build a better road for the area❤❤❤❤
Loved this content a lot. I am glad they made the move. In America, all we do is work work, work. When you are growing it the best idea to move back home and live your best life.. Jasmine please show more of this content. It’s inspiring ❤.
Will do 🙏🏾🥰
Kimberly is a great wife , the architect of the vision, a wonderful love story . Blessings ❤
I love this segment! Kimberly and Maxwell are wonderful!!

This is happening more and more, many African Americans are moving to the motherland I wish them all success.
Posted from Britain 🇬🇧
This was a wonderful video! I am a subscriber of Mrs. Kim’s channel and have been almost from the time they moved to Ghana. They are very down to earth, Godly people who work hard and care about others. Thank you for showing them in a positive light as they deserve! Blessings from Illinois, USA 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Great couple,am greatly inspired by them and you Jasmine, your channel is amazing.
I have been following the lovely couple for sometime now, they hardworking and very talented.Great to hear their story in full . ❤
🙏🏾❤️
39:48 You are very bright-=You asked the most important question of the video-WELL DONE JASMINE.I now respect you
So interesting, i kept rewinding 👏 ❤ Max & Kim got a stunning home, green yard, trees, gardens. This is what good life look like in my opinion. They've done very well for themselves. God bless them.
I wouldn't put animal farm in my home though, i wouldn't tolerate all the noise and smell no matter much you clean them.
Wooooow their farm has increased from the last time i watched them
They made me love them ❤❤❤❤
So nice to see a home surrounded by green instead of concrete which some seem to think is the height of sophistication where the property/building takes up 99% of the plot just so that they can say we have a 6 bedroom house.
Watching through x love watching you both of you, inspirational we cannot wait to finish building our home ! Building is not easy but makes life so much easier to travel and have options once completed (renting is expensive 😂😂) Cannot wait to get on site again at Easter !
Queen this is such a inspiring Love story ❤️❤️❤️
The Mrs. Have sooo many awesome ideas. I love how her Loving husband supports her.
Two very intelligent people working hard to help others.
May God continue to Bless them🙏🏽
And their visions.
Thank you Queen for the Love story ❤️
I was hoping the Mrs. Would have cooked a yummy Ghanaian dish🤣
Haha maybe another time x
Nice video Jasmine! I get excited when I think about my 2nd or 3rd home in Ghana very soon.
Hats off with a big compliment to this house. This is an excellent, amazing and so sooooo beautiful. Congratulations and all the best. Watching you from 🇨🇩
Is that Kimmy and Maxwell? 🎉🎉🎉. Congrats on your J.A. Feature!
Agreed great feature
💯 MANY want to move to Africa but have no clue where to begin!
Hope these videos help x
First you have to know where you want to move to then you need a budget for example we chose Gambia visited first went back bought lots of😊 land got a contractor architect and start building 2 stores and 2 apartments for less than $30,000 will live and do business in one and rent out the other store and rent out the other apartment so it makes it easier for the next person or family have a place to stay while they build there own place and business.
True
Great vid. They're living the dream...
My dream:
A nice plot of fertile land in a rural area not too far from a town.
Growing my own food (growing a mix of domestic and foreign crops) and keep some animals (chickens, guineafowl, grasscutters, West African pygmy goats).
A custom made home built in the style of Akan architecture and mostly of the grid with solar panels, a mini wind turbine, water wells, compost toilets, etc)
Some pretty African wives (one from each cardinal region). LOL 🤣😆😂😉
Make it happen 🙏🏾💕
You were doing well until you said " wives" from each region.
Respect women.
@@eileenwatt8283
Get a sense of humour!
That's great. Because in the country next to Ghana, at ites East, I mean Togo, people must flee to exile, because of a dynastic tyranny. And Togolese who were in exile are jailed as soon as they put their feet on Togolese soil. You grow your own food and raise animals. At Togo, millions are treated as animals and dictators grow their own food, in other words, feed themselves and their families by, with and through the sufferings, pains and deprivation of millions.
Ha, I am first. Great video.
Heyy 🙏🏾💕
This has been blissful, the tour of a lifetime Thank you so much, thoroughly enjoyed evèry minute and wished it never ended. Continue to enjoy your dream of a lifetime. Abundant blessings.
Man ,I’m happy for this family,they enjoying their labor, if you worked all of ur life and end up like this, you should be grateful,God has blessed u with back bone has a wife,❤❤❤❤
Excellent engagement and good advice. May the universe bless your endeavours. Love from Birmingham, England…❤❤❤

You are such a professional with your interviewing skills. Thank you for the informative interview. Nice situation they built for themselves.
Thanks Nathaniel x
@@JasmineAmaa 'You really are. It sounds more like a conversation between friends than an interview. You are a natural. You know sometimes people interview others and they want to be the star of the show so to speak which can be cringy but your conversations flow so smoothly. Keep it up.
Thanks for sharing Jasmine 🙏
My pleasure 😊

They work together are a team so, everything is successful and they continue to be very successful in everything they do. Listening to their stories make me like them very much. These are the types of people that will help to continue to make Ghana successful.
Soo informative, great couple, I will like to follow them as i may get intouch with them some time in future for my own

Beautiful, love lives there❤
This is great. I would to copy this template.
Just subscribed! I have been enjoying your channel. I am not Ghanian but I work with a lot of Ghanaians here in Canada. Keep on keeping us inspired.
Welcome 🙏🏾 🤗
Hi, bro Max and sis Kim. This is Patience, Delia's sis from Salaga African Market on Spring garden and West Market
I am inspired.
I will like to meet them to give us ideas for our farming
Nice interview. There house is a home. It feels cozy even watching without being in the space. I love the land scape. Accra homes should have this kind of landscape.
True. It doesn't look like ahuge office space without character like many if the new homes there
IT IS HARD TO FIND A MOTIVATED WIFE LIKE THIS . KEEP GROWING AND EXPAND YOUR HOMESTEAD INTO A BUSINESS. I WISH YOU ALL THE BEST
yep...the daughter of a former enslaver 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. How ironic😂.
Wow.
Just beautiful
Congratulations guys
