Yes chaotic is the right word for life in these big cities. There's just no peace but well what can we do because we need money so we need to go to such places to make a living at times. Thanks for the upload
That’s facts right there. If I had a choice I will be back in my homestead right now. I am looking forward to share my investments back home soon. 🙏🏾❤️
I agree with you adjusting to American food is way difficult I tell you. The only thing I ate for a long time was bread and peanut butter. Back then there was nowhere to buy stuff that us Africans love to eat. Anyways if you like any suggestions on where you can buy foods that are somewhat close to what we have in Africa let me know
Hello Velile. Good to see that you and hubby are doing well overseas - Washington DC. It looks like the cost of living there is not cheap. Am looking at your dinner cost converting it to Rands! Yes dear take it step -by- step when buying furniture you will eventually get your apartment fully furnished. It seems like in America they are not BIG with customer service - why there is no one on the shop floors to assist the customers 🤔.Some of us have never been abroad or in the US. We might learn 1 or 2 things.Keep us updated and enjoy your stay over there.
Hi Velile, Yes i'm an american I live here in Columbia South carolina. My family lived in Washington D.C. i've made many trips to Washington. That area is not for the faint hearted.😅 If you get a chance come on down south to south carolina. I would love to have you visit. I also have property now in johannesburg south africa in a rural area. I acquired ten acres. I'm a missionary I have a nonprofit there. I really love south africa. Welcome to the United States. If there's anything you need let me now.
I lobe South Africa more since I have been here. Today’s America is no longer this same as it was before. I have a story to tell one day on this channel. I am glad you love SA and will definitely keep in touch. 🙏🏾❤️
Great move Sis. I have lived in abt 6 cities different countries currently in UK. I always find gud guality at reasonable prices on Gumtree Ebay etc. Don't underestimate pawn shops and places like Gumtree not sure if they have that in the US. Its also a great way to connect with locals in your neighbourhood they will give you tips on living in the neighbourhood. All the best. I enjoy watching your videos and have started looking for rural land to invest back home because of your content.
Aaah lovely. I am happy you have taken that move to rural areas. Best move indeed. I miss home but will be there soon for another visit. Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated. 🙏🏾❤️
Great content thank u cc great content eyi rand and dollar exchange is crazy and the rand is only going weaker as the years go by so if any body wana go to the states the time is now
You said it organic food is very expensive in the united states. I ate all organic food for sixty days in johannesburg. My complexion changed. My digestive system was super regulated. Lol, And I felt great!! Our food is totally fast food, And filled with a lot of chemicals, Pesticides, and Ingredients you can't pronounce. Going to the whole food store is your best option or a farmer's market. You can locate one outside of the city.
I Love Whole Foods, I Love Sprouts Better! I’d be shopping on Facebook Marketplace and saving all kinds of money 💵 and shopping at Organic Farmers Markets, too! I like TJMaxx!
Because my husband is a professor at a University here and I am have rural tours for African Americans back home that I will be doing. I am still about my village and working with people who want to invest in our villages. I am literally in between both countries.
Wholefoods sis Velile is very expensive the dollars will add up .I would suggest you find other stores to buy from as there are many which are more cheaper. There is so much to buy you just need to find the stores ,deli ‘s and restaurants that you will enjoy once you get to know your area .The street food is also good.
Enjoy the US sis Velile! All the best with Prof! It's always good to see black South Africans 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 abroad living an honest life and contributing positively to their host country!
For now let’s do it for clarity so that people know how expensive it is when you are using a rand. I am sure I will look at it different as soon as I warn here and use dollars. 🙏🏾❤️
Did you take our electricity with you? 😭😭😭 It’s so cool that you could do all of that without a car and just by using Uber 👏🏽 I almost got a heart attack when I saw the Whole Foods prices 😂
America food is not good compare to SA. Shopping for high quality and low cost food is. game. Whole Foods cold press juice will really make your rands flame. smh I never get that stuff unless I'm in SA because it's extremely easy with US dollars. Shop wisely. When it comes to pharmacy's I suggest CVS. Ask the cashier about their "Extracare" rewards program. It costs about $10/month but provides more discounts than what I can can keep up with.
I love how you give us a glimpse into your life without oversharing. The way CZcamsrs tend to overshare their personal lives makes one uncomfortable.
You two make an amazing team!!

You may want to look into what we call Zipcar and you will be able to drive around independently with insurance and roadside assistance.

Why did you leave SA sisi, I thought u were settled well in a homestead in SA
Because my husband is a professor at a University here and I am have rural tours for African Americans back home that I will be doing. I am still about my village and working with people who want to invest in our villages. I am literally in between both countries.

It's always good to see black South Africans 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 abroad living an honest life and contributing positively to their host country!

Whole food is an organic store. It’s very expensive to east organic here while we do it for almost free at home. 😂🙏🏾❤️
Hello sisters much love ❤

@@VelileLifestyleDecorTV is tshepo from centurion. Enjoy yu time in America. Al the best. Goodnight.
Converting can give one a heart attack.
For now let’s do it for clarity so that people know how expensive it is when you are using a rand. I am sure I will look at it different as soon as I warn here and use dollars. 🙏🏾❤️
Everything is causing me stress. Just the thought of having no one to help you at the furniture shop. Then the prices bakithi.
We have been stressed most of the time here. It’s getting frustrating without a car also but we shall survive. 🙏🏾❤️
Congratulations ku but Sipho for hi first day e Havard
🙏🏾❤️
My dear check Ross dress for less. They sell brand things for less.
I know o will check ROSS when I am done furnishing my apartment. 😂🙏🏾❤️
Did you take our electricity with you? 😭😭😭
It’s so cool that you could do all of that without a car and just by using Uber 👏🏽
I almost got a heart attack when I saw the Whole Foods prices 😂
Eish I hear about the crazy loadshedding schedules. I hope one day we will survive this mess. Yes, it’s expensive here. 🙏🏾❤️
Over R1k for that, yoh yoh yoh 😢
Crazy indeed. 🙏🏾❤️

Thank you about that tip about CVS pharmacy. I will ask them.
Hi Velile.

By the way I went to Georgetown Law Center, in DC.
An African Teaching at Howard? Awesome!!!🎉👏💪
We are doing great but miss home. 🙏🏾❤️
