I Left America for Kenya — Now I Make $250K/Year Living on $1,700/Month

Video Description

#webnationafrica #diasporatransition I Moved from the USA to Kenya — Built a $250K Business & Live on $1,700/Month Meet Kia Weso Simmons, an African American entrepreneur and CEO of Traverse Culture, moved to Nairobi, Kenya after 14 years of visiting—and built a peaceful, sustainable life without giving up ambition. In this video, Kia gives a full townhome tour, breaks down her real cost of living (~$1,700/month), and explains how she legally stays in Kenya (Digital Nomad, Class K, and Investor permits). We cover rent in an upscale area (~$1,000), utilities, internet, phone, buying a 2019 Honda Vezel (~$20K, 50% down, 24-month payoff), safety, and why Kenya feels like home. We also talk business: how relocating boosted Traverse Culture’s sales and social growth, what a typical CEO day looks like in Nairobi, and advice for Americans considering the move—budget ranges, mistakes to avoid, and using proper relocation support instead of winging it.
