Are U African American born/bred Now Living in Kenya & Over 30?

Hello, I am a exceedingly vibrant African American female with no children who was born and raised in San Francisco, California.

It's time I stopped living the 'safe life' and push myself beyond any imagined boundary to chase my dreams of riding the remainder of my life like a beam of light.

I have been invited by a Kenyan born & bred girlfriend to seriously entertain the possibility of relocating to Kenya to see what treasures await me.

TODAY I have only two real impediments to this proposition: 1) It's so far from my immediate family; and 2) I do not speak Swahili or Kikuyu so the culture shock makes me reluctant.

I am dieing to hear from grown-folks in my age group, 40+ (smile) of the same background as my own, African America from closet knit family, about their experiences living in Kenya?

Can I do this?  What should I expect and what should I forget about?  Will I find the culture difference too hard to adapt to?  Will I find American food or must I learn to change my diet entirely?  What are your experiences living there?  Love to hear from you.

Thank You

P.S.  I've got about 8 months to get myself together, amass finances and take a dip or cowardly tuck my tail and relocate from California to Texas.

Signed, READY for DRASTIC Change ... or so I think (smile).
